[Crow]

Y'all are being a bunch of downers. Have a Red Dog.

Downers is a great little town.

 

[Alex Keilback]

So what was that first PP Unit?? Toews was out, correct??

 

[JaegerDice]

Then why does anyone play it?

Nobody does.

Except the Blackhawks.

honestly red dog would be my go to beer if they distributed it in this truck...wirtz should drop bud light and get RD to be the sponsor

 

[AmericanDream]

Red Dog God rewards patience my friends...our boys are just learning to skate again without a 350lb anchor attached to their backs....just wait for it...

biggest problems of the year so far:
1. zone entries. they can't stop them or get them. seriously, count how many times the hawks have to play the dump and chase compared to the opp. it's embarrasing. even worse, they only rarely win the puck back, so it keeps setting up situations where the forwards are in on the forecheck, don't win the puck, and give up an odd man rush (or, more typically, a partial break when a replacement level opp forward beats the slow d-man).
2. clearing the zone. a corollary of 1. forward movement is not this team's forte. when they aren't getting stuffed by forechekers they're just giving the puck away because of...
3. missing passes, muffing the puck, and general unawareness. this has been constant. the poise on the puck simply isn't there for everyone not named alex debrincat.
4. there is currently more than $32 million worth of cap tied up in four players worth about 1.4 points per game. take away kane from that equation, and you get $21.5 million invested in about a half point per game.

Toews was in the first shift (he was the one who got kicked from the draw which the Preds won cleared). Saad came in after that.

Then we can change the Rockford IceHogs to the Rockford RedDogs

Except forcLehner a Hawks No Show/MIA/Surrender...Slow...Incompetent checking/losing all the racesxznd puck battles...looks like Nashville we blood -doped...jacked on energy and want...Hawks looked like they would rather be doing something else for a living...

The only "Orofesdional" that showed up for Chicago was Lehner..

The rest of them played like Sh☆t..

Schooled...Domonated...shown up..

Hawks lucky score just 1-0 Preds.

JC should be ripping them...but seems they might care less.

The usual 10/60 ..probably get 1 "push" of good hockey for just half a period in 2bd or3rd and that is it for the game.

The Country Club is back!

The period started fine and then the ice tilted. The Hawks need to defend their points (need to be tighter) better as the Preds generate a lot from their back end.

This PP needs to change their entry. Unfortunately they like many others still do the long drop because they think it creates space/separation when in reality it just clogs the PP entry and slows forward momentum. This part is on JC.

 

[AmericanDream]

Come out hungry and silence this crowd. We need a goal in the first 5 minutes

....hahahahahhaha....I f***ing can't do it.....hahahahahaha.....I just can't type without laughing..

Toews either loses the draw or gets thrown out.

Nice way of censoring fiddy

Sure, he does that perfectly.

#1 is due to our D hesitating during transitions. Gus is the worst offender of this. You have to just go. The Hawks over handle the puck and/or stop skating/lose momentum far too often. This makes it easy for opposing teams to clump up the neutral zone.

 

[BobbyJet]

i don't think anyone said he was the sole problem, but like you said he is a problem and therefore should sit most games...

They don't say it but they act like it. We see a multitude of breakdowns but it's Seabs play that typically gets dissed. Well welcome to reality folks.

 

[Sir Loin]

And we are back

[clydesdale line]

Strome draws a penalty.

 

[goldenbladz1]

Preds fans are the worst. Simply the worst.

Hate the Preds and their fans. YOU SUCK!

Generational draw
