Maybe a slight overreaction?

Nah. This team doesn't win the 50/50 battles and part of the reason why they're chasing a lot lately. They were hitting their passes in the earlier games but that's been nonexistent the past two games.

You know what's funny..Tallon pretty much turned that team completely around but because he also did a few shady things, he's never gotten any credit for the work he's done for that franchise.

Also Papa Wertz decided it was time his lil boy Rocky could take the team and stop running it like shit.

I mean, they did look gassed. I’m willing to call this game a fluke, only because they have been playing pretty well for most of the season thus far. But honestly, this is kind of what I expected a rebuilding team to look like. If anything, this doesn’t surprise me as much as the first few games did, where they played well.

Benching your most talented offensive talent in the 3rd, when down a goal... not a good look..

It wasn't a hustle issue, was it? It happened after the turnover behind the net.. I thought Quinn said he wouldn't punish that

Chytil didn't even have clean control of the puck on that play. Asinine move by Quinn.

I see a lot of good things that this team is doing on a game to game basis. They are starting to get consistency in various aspects of the game. But, they neglect other aspects like the offense. Things will start to fall into place at some point down the line. It appears to be moving forward the Defense is going to be built around Pionk. The kid looks like a well rounded poised player and he has less than a year of NHL experience. I hate seeing these great efforts being by Lundqvist being wasted. They gotta start scoring some goals.

ADA has to play. At this point forget any issues you have with him or his personality. He’s much better than half the guys we put out tonight

With McQuaid and Claesson out he has to play. Hopefully he will get 3 points next game and they will have to maintain him in the lineup.

ADA needs to play. Pionk looks OK, but he's not good by any means. If anything, with McQuaid needing a day off and Claesson still out, I think ADA will finally get some playing time to showcase his skills.

Pionk has a lot to learn. He's got the basics and he is coachable, but he's not a top pairing defenseman......yet... He could be if he starts suppressing shots

Vesey - Howden - Zuccarello
Kreider - Chytil - Fast
Spooner - Hayes - McLeod

Skjei - DeAngelo
Smith - Shattenkirk
Staal - McQuaid

They didn't exact go up against a juggernaut, but the Hawks seemed ready to play with their zone-type D. Also just a lot of breakdowns, but the Hawks didn't bury half their chances, and it was still 4-1.

I thought Pionk looked really good some parts of the game. Other parts, kind of rough. But overall, relative to his teammates, he was one of our “best” players tonight. Which is not saying much.
