The 4th line seems like the only one generating real chances. I have been pretty disappointed with Wright's play. He has not been a negative, but we need more production from him and his line. Maybe he needs to sit for a game or two.

Even when Wright looks good, he doesn't make much happen. Sitting him a game might be a good idea. Or juggling linemates--it not as though the other lines are clicking except for Gourde's.

I don't know that it would be as noticeable if half the forwards on this team weren't complete passengers.

I don't even know if the issue is that we have passengers. I mean, I know we do but to me it's just more that they don't keep things simple. Drive the net. Park yourself in front of it. I see that happen all the time. Skater behind the net, but nobody to pass to infront of the net. So many passes just go through.

We don't really have players who can dangle all the way to the net and score a highlight reel goal. Play to your strengths. I know I am oversimplifying it but geez. Go to the damn net.

On the positive side, we're definitely not getting dominated that period. This looks like a very winnable game to me if we can muster more effort.

Yeah, they're creating a lot of chances and (for that period at least) felt like they had control of the general flow of play. They just need to turn some of those chances into the "high danger" variety.

Looks like hand/arm/shoulder area for Eberle.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Not ideal.

Wasn't sure if it was bad or not, but seeing him needing help to get down the tunnel didn't look good.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Stephenson needs to have a better quality shot than what he just did there.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Olczyk and Forslund are hilarious

 

[Bear of Bad News]

YES! YES!

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

You knew McCann man was putting it over and bang Beniers hammers it

 

[kihei]

Bless you, Matty.

 

[Fuhrious]

Slightly deflected by the Hawks player, too...impressive to still wire that just under the bar

 

[Cisse]

Beniers has a nice shot. Needs to get to use it more.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Let's Go Kraken ,Let's Go!!!

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

That was a great shot by Matty. He has really been good over the last few games.

 

[The Marquis]

Nice to see Matty put another one in

 

[Fuhrious]

This Blackhawks team does not seem very good...

I'm not sure I've seen the Kraken have easier zone entries than this all season?

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

This Blackhawks team does not seem very good...

LOL. Was just going to say that but they have won only 1 less game than we have. So I dunno.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Bjorkstrand totally whiffed on a wide open net.

 

[Cisse]

How can you miss on that?

 

[Fuhrious]

LOL. Was just going to say that but they have won only 1 less game than we have. So I dunno.

Oh yeah, I noticed that specifically when I was making the GDT subject.

C'mon Bjorkstrand...that's f***ing shocking.

 

[Fuhrious]

This super-passive "Dump but don't chase" style the Hawks are running plays perfectly into D'Accord's puck handling ability.

 

[kihei]

Chicago looks awful. Yet they are within a goal.
