It's just pathetic at this point. The Kings just can't beat them with this roster.

Hawks best team in the league on to the next game.

Muzzin had a good game , Jones was awesome.

 

[Bandit]

Well, what the hell would YOU have to talk about from the Kings point of view? They sucked.

 

[Live in the Now]

One or two guys need to hit waivers or get traded really soon.

 

[BigBrown]

Well deserved victory for the Hawks, as usual. On to the next game.

Its too bad Lombardi and Sutter praise grinders. When will these guys understand you need skill to beat teams like the Blackhawks?

 

[HYORI 1963]

Sutter has better options.

He just needs to be smarter.

 

[Oh Snap]

Sutter has better options.

He just needs to be smarter.

That's asking too much.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Players gotta actually play too.

The Hawks could of just played keep away with the puck all night. The Kings were not going to catch up.

 

[KingsKnight]

It's alright guys, the last three games was our December slump. We'll be fine in 2014

 

[Little Psycho]

Not looking forward against the Benn line- owned the Kings last game.

I've lost all faith in Sutter. The guy seriously needs to pull his head out of the deepest part of his ass.

I was a big Sutter fan, but this certainly seems to be going the same way many Flames fans warned us. The guy is obsessed with grinders and low skill players, the use of stiffs like Lewis and Clifford just shows that.

The two highlights (for comedic value) were Lewis trying to stickhandle around Roszival and Keith catching Clifford. It was like watching a junior kid toying with a middle aged man at pickup.

The Hawks have support players like Saad and Shaw, while we have Clifford and Lewis. Kings did a good job against the big guns, but it's hard to shut down a team that rolls 3 lines capable of scoring, wish Sutter and Lombardi could see that.

i think richards needs to start stepping his game up

Was it? IMO the score reflected the play, they barely played better then the kings did. saw a LOT of turtle-ing by the hawks when the puck would get within the circles of the net.

thats 3 losses in a row... if were going to play ****** like weve been the last couple of games, it may be even 6 losses in a row with the schedule we have

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Time for Lombardi to get to work

 

[TonySCV]

6 goals total in 4 games isn't going to get it done, period.

Just in time for Quick to come back .....Guy can't catch a break.

Our need for an elite left-winger was on display tonight.

 

[Oh Snap]

Our need for an elite left-winger was on display tonight.

As well as our need to get rid of about 4 players from our roster.

So we can all agree it's some combo of Lewis, Clifford, Frattin, and Fraser that need to be moved for a LW, right? Is there really anything else to discuss?


Edit: Yea, yea, "+ prospect(s) and pick(s)." Let's already assume that.

None of those guys land you a LW that can play true top six minutes. Niether is s combination of that trash get you one.

Have to draft them and develop them like Chicago did.

Well, I said Richards had to be one of the best players on the game. He was like 2nd to 3rd worse player each time he stepped onto the ice. Is he playing with a hole in his stick? C'mon!
