Post-Game Talk: Hawks beat VAN 4-3 in SO

[x Tame Impala]

I think people are giving too much importance to shootouts...

Absolutely. 7-7 last year, 2-3 today. If you go .500 in them you've done your job, IMO.

Plus, there are no faceoffs when the real season starts.

I think they need to have a shooter(Hossa) NOT a deker in the middle of Toews and Kane.

No! You have to have your 2 best and most consistent shooters go first. If the other team scores twice, you don't want an unreliable shooter taking the second shot.

And bingo was his name-o.

I'm assuming you mean shootouts.

when I saw it, I was worried because of the speed he has had.

SPT, you talked about the Nucks a bit? (with your Avy being removed )

They know better than I do, of course, but every time I watch a shootout I think players should be coming in with MORE speed. Circle around, pick up the puck at full speed, barrel in on net, back the goaltender in and snap it or make one quick, decisive deke like Shaw did. They seem way too deliberate most of the time, giving the goaltender every chance to visually pick up the puck and follow it. And yes, I know they're doing it to get the goalie moving laterally, but it hardly ever seems to work.

I can't believe how bad the Canucks defense is for how much they have sunk in those guys.

Salo used to kill the Hawks. I am sooooo glad he left.
