This is painful.

More than half of the Hawks forwards are guys who would barely be recognized by their own mothers and they are clowning us..

Glass without a stick, is like.......
A Pane without a shelf.

Almost halfway through the game and we don't even have double digit SOG. Sad!

 

[Nickmo82]

Buch has been bad? Dude look who he's playing with. The guy needs actual linemates who can read off him and make plays. Desharnais and Vesey are not these players.

Buchnevich is creating chances but yeah... his linemates can't do anything with it.

Buch doesn't look at his best though.

 

[Machinehead]

Say what you will about Motzko's goaltending decisions (very fair) but his teams have the significant bulk of the shots and possession literally every game, and it's so refreshing.

The most refreshing part is watching Adam Fox -who is basically Shattenkirk in a #8 jersey instead of #22- be an absolutely dominant #1 D in Motzko's system.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Oesterle has the puck every ten seconds

 

[Gardner McKay]

I'm a few seconds away from turning this game off and going back to Netflix. Even though its tied they are playing so bad. This is the kind of hockey they played to start the year.

 

[Larrybiv]

Oooops, Tanner alert!

 

[nevesis]

Hank, aside from two seasons ago, has always had sub-par Octobers.

Never count him out after the first month of play.

Wasn’t just him, the entire team was playing like a dumpster fire.

 

[nevesis]

Thanks Staal.

 

[Irishguy42]

Quennville trying to keep Toews away from Hayes is interesting.

Really? I question you're loyalty. Maybe not quite the "fanatic" that most Ranger fans are that come here.

 

[GOAT AINEC]

f*** you Marc Staal.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Marc staal for mvp

 

[Gardner McKay]

Hartman crosschecked Staal into the net. That better not be a ****ing goal.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

rofl RIP Staal. If that's a goal Hank is going to murder you.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Buchnevich is creating chances but yeah... his linemates can't do anything with it.

Buch doesn't look at his best though.

He's creating chances? He's had one nice setup, the pass to Desharnais, in the last few weeks.

 

[nevesis]

Unbelievable.

 

[Kovalev27]

This is an awful display

 

[NYR]

And I'm not saying he's bad overall. I still think it was the right move to sign him. Right now though he is playing like garbage.

I have to disagree.
He just doesn't think the game IMO.
That has to be one of the worst contracts in the league.
He belongs in the AHL..

 

[Machinehead]

lol Skjei gets absolutely embarrassed again

And yet he'll continue to be our only D who doesn't get criticized

 

[Mac n Gs]

More than half of the Hawks forwards are guys who would barely be recognized by their own mothers and they are clowning us..

Not really. Chicago is amazing at drafting talent out of the US pool

 

[bl02]

Staal is a bum no one can save him

 

[mrmovies779]

We suck

 

[I Eat Crow]

Staal was hauled down. How on earth does that count?
