Bedard did pick up a couple of pucks in space North of center ice but he just can't accelerate enough for some reason and gets forced to cough it up.???

I mean... it was an absolutely ugly game that they really had no business winning. Mrazek is probably the sole reason they did win it. I don't see anyone complaining about the win, just discussing aspects of it.

But this wasn't some great chances Florida was robbed and robbed of games. Florida wasn't dominating control & getting tons of Higher danger chances. There were a couple netfront loose puck scrambles and that's it for most of the goal threats.

This was a defensive win, not just some goalie win, that's what I don't get from those who watched.

Sure sounds like bitching.

The Hawks, the worst team in the league, beat the reigning Stanley Cup Champs and people have the frickin' nerve to complain about how its done......some of the people on this board need to up their meds.

I mean if you want people to just ignore how ass LuRich is just because the team managed to eek out a win good luck with that.

So on a "discussion board" specifically about the Blackhawks organization, we're not allowed to discuss anything regarding the team, players, coaches, or their performance, or it's "bitching"? Sounds like you don't understand what a message board is, and is used for.

So as someone who loves the Hawks but never played/doesnt know details about coaching, what would you guys say is the main reason Bedard is struggling? I hear comments about line choices/crappy linemates/always faces the other team’s best players, but wasn’t that true last year too? Any input is appreciated, thanks in advance!

What f***ing game were you watching? They got DOMINATED in puck possession. Almost the entire game was spent in their zone.

The fancy stats back it up, as well. Scoring chances were 25-15. CF% was 61% to 39%. XGF% was the same. Oh, wow, they didn't get shit stomped in high danger chances. Perhaps because the Hawks were content to just let them have the puck the entire game, and collapse to the middle. It was garbage hockey right out of the mid 90's.
