+115? What a joke.

That should move a lot by this evening.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Yeah I’m not expecting much. I feel for Kane, he’s the real captain of this team.

Captain Garbage and his assistant KFSeabs have led us to second last in the west. We’re below the Wild for crying out loud.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Change starts with stripping the letters away from Toews and Seabrook.

 

[Brightwing]

A guy on Twitter has responded to all the major journos to say he crossed paths with Shaw at the hospital and he has a broken nose. That actually makes sense.

Sounds like Kane is calling someone out...

That's how I read it too. I hope at least Toews and DeBrincat are paying attention.

 

[hawksfan50]

Toews and D-Cat a combined 9 goals...At this pace they will be about 45goals combined short of last season..That is a lot of "star" power not manifesting ...also them not scoring much does not engender confidence but rather worry by their teammates as in "unless the 2 big guns stop firing blanks but fill the net a lit more,we got no chance"..

Your stars gotta star...not justcwhen thevteam struggles.. But when the team struggles,it sure could use some more help...a lit mire helm from its 2 AWOL stars..

 

[Brightwing]

I kinda have this gut feeling that they'll win tonight. They struggle against fast, young teams. The Blues play a heavier game.

Especially when one of those stars is eating up so much cap space that you can't acquire the necessary depth to be competitive.

If you're going to eat up lots of money in a capped league, you better be dammed sure you're making up for the lost depth you're creating.

At least Kane is doing so.

Ya, just feels like a trap game for the Blues. Can't wait until that line hits +180!

EDIT: It's now a +110, how? The Blackhawks are playing with 11 forwards lol

Where do people think Toews and Co. learned to take half games off? Probably from Patrick Kane. The guy is great, and produces no matter what, I will give him that. But as long as he still floats and takes half games off he shouldn't be calling any one out for work ethic. Pile on me, I don't care.

Well then that’s their fault for not realizing Patrick Kane is a lot more talented and is one of a few players in the league who can do that and still positively impact the game.

They’re not Kane, they need to work.

42 point pace Toews learned to take off games from 100+ point Kane...that story totally adds up

Lol. He didn't call anyone out for work ethic. He said "your best players have to be your best players". Seems pretty f***ing simple to me.

When was the last time Toews was the Hawks' best player? For Seabrook, that was probably 2015....

Is that quote really calling out work ethic though? I look at it more calling out Cat/Toews/whoever to start producing on the score sheet.

 

[Pez68]

Remember when there were arguments about who was the more important player to the Hawks, Kane or Toews? And both sides had a valid argument? That's a f***ing laughable discussion today. My how times have changed.

Toews was probably winning that debate through the last Cup run, right?

Toews also had hall of famer Marian Hossa attached to his hip, and Kane had Kris Versteeg and a nearly fully broken down Brad Richards.

To be fair Toews usually faced better competition. But yeah, since 2016 it hasn't been close.

True, but he had Marian Hossa to help him do it. Also, lots of teams tried to get their best shutdown lines on Kane.

Yeah, I misread the statement. Point stands though.

 

[Pez68]

Kane works harder than all of them in the offseason, so you don't really have much of a point. He's one of the most dedicated players in the league when it comes to improving his game and being the best. He plays how he plays and has only improved as the years have gone by. It's a silly argument considering his point production....

If anyone can call out the best players for not being their best players, it is Kane. Because he's consistently their best player....
