Post-Game Talk: Jan. 28, 2014 | Hawks leave Calgary with only one point

[BronYrAur]

Pretty sad. Team is riding some serious bad luck but also....wtf?

This has become synonymous with the Hawks losing in OT.

 

[chicagoskycam]

Hawks are supposed to be a great 4 v 4 team, once upon a time.

 

[Salvaged Ship]

Embarrassing OT effort, we hardly had the puck. Might as well just give the other team 2 points and not play the OT to try and avoid injuries

 

[WJSN]

Thank god there's no 4-on-4 OT in playoffs

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

we added another to our league lead in loser points.

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

OT ended when they made a play similar to the one that lead to Montreals OT winner.
The lack of finish in this team is embarrassing. Literally embarrassing.

 

[Marina]

I seriously don't understand how we have zero overtime goals. Like, how? It's just so weird.

 

[chimairainc]

im hoping to god that its just the olympic mentality thats screwing the team up and its not that the hawks have lost the edge

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

This month so awful

Oct = 8-2-3
Nov = 12-2-1
Dec = 8-3-3
Jan = 4-4-5

This will be known as the Polar Vortex slump. Sounds like the next GDT.

I lost, HGF lost recently, NFS lost. Someone new needs to make one.

We can't even blame the olympics anymore. Yeah maybe one or two games after the team announcements, but when they have played like this for a whole month, you cannot blame something like that.

There is no question we have lost the edge, it is long gone. Only question is if we can somehow get it back.

We could be in third place in our division very soon. Really slipping here

 

[No Fun Shogun]

And with the monumental amount of effort I put into my GDT, too...

1 bad month out of 4 = Not something to worry about

Season is long ,, If team is still struggling come March then we might have some problems

 

[chicagoskycam]

The OT is an indication of hitting the wall so to speak, short break after the cup. They are getting outworked nearly every OT and many 3rd periods. A break for some of these guys would be good.

That's the thing.... I'm honestly not even at the concerned point.... yet. Just annoyed.

Much like how earlier in the year I never discounted the Hawks out of any game, I'm not discounting them for the long haul yet.

if it was against teams like the Ducks or the Blues, i wouldnt be as upset.

but this month, we've lost to the islanders, rangers, canadians, red wings, jets, and the flames.

a lot of people are saying its just a bad month, i wanna believe that. but if we are constantly losing against average or below average teams, thats doesnt look like just a bad month

 

[ChiGuySez]

Hawks are on a roll.

 

[zytz]

it's almost like this team doesn't frequently have an extended losing slump in jan/feb every year

Playing not to get hurt so they don't miss the Olympics?

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Every team has peaks and valleys. The Fact that we are playing .500 hockey and it's considered "terrible" says a lot about this team.

 

[neodydan]

Always want some pizza when Hawks play Flames and a certain Flame defender is mentioned

Lol. I'm stuck in SE Kansas (originally from Chicago). What they sell here shouldn't even legally be allowed to be called pizza. Even the frozen pizza in Chicago beats anything you can get here.

Giordano's is a good pie. I worked at Gino's East for 5 years. Miss the pizza for sure.
