GDT: Red Wings @ Blackhawks 7pm NBCSN

[RayP]

I still don’t think Colliton is the right guy to coach this team

What coach out there is going to get more out of this team than JC has this year?


And I ask that as a guy who was pleading for JC to be fired last year.

Subban gonna Subban

Re:
-Pathetic lazy performance tonight - Not really
-Subban was garbage - Yep
-71 like 17 is useless - I don't see it
-Boqvist’s skating needs work - unquestionably
-Beaudin should take that spot until this guy is actually ready - definitely
-the team simply wasn’t prepared - Hawks had an excellent first period but couldn't overcome mediocre goaltending
-thought this was gonna be a cakewalk - seriously? Why would this team think they can have a cakewalk against any team? Shit happens and it happened tonight. Win tomorrow, then move on.

One other thing - Seeing how the Hawks were snake bit a little with the Hawks outchancing the Wings through a large portion of the game, to break the ice it seems the Hawks really needed to open it up a little and create even more chances. Instead of doing that, JC stood pat, prolly thinking opening it up might hurt the team more over the long run. Long story short - did JC make any adjustments during the game? If he did, I didn't see them.

 

[Panzerspitze]

Sort of could see, from the previous game, that it's only a matter of time before this Detroit team starts converting their chances.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Annoying loss. But we're 7-3 in our last ten, so just gotta shrug it off.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Hawks lost because of Boqvist. What a terrible player.

Hawks lost because of Kane. If only he was Bonino.

I mean... According to this logic Calvin de Haan is a better player than Duncan Keith.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Lankinen starts today, thank god.
He will get a W.

 

[BK]

Dunno why Boqvist is rushing the puck up on the PP and then throwing it 20 feet behind him to someone else.

This is coaching.

nvm

Hot takes for $1000, Alex.

 

[plasmonresonance]

Don't think I've turned away from a Hawks game since the first couple against Tampa. They clearly didn't have it. Not sharp at all. Hawks play anywhere close to that level over the next three weeks and playoff talk will become a distant memory.

Last night sucked; hopefully today is better.

This is coaching.

The player gets some blame too. I also don't really see any other defenseman doing that.

Then you are not watching much hockey. A lot of teams are doing this. I hate it personally.

I’m watching plenty of hockey. Very few players throw the puck that far back ever. Hopefully it was nothing more than an isolated mistake, but it was a mistake nonetheless.


I remember Keith doing it a bit but it always looked like he was doing it to get onto the stick of a better playmaker.

This is just wrong.

 

[RayP]

This is just wrong.

Of course. Boqvist is perfect and all his mistakes are not his fault and always the coaches fault.

 

[BobbyJet]

This is just wrong.

Hawks' version of the back pass can be 35 feet or more. Other teams use it but not nearly to that extreme. It can be effective when 12 and 88 can interchange in leading the attack but in general, I don't like it. I prefer the team takes what the ops give them on the PP.

Agreed. I’d rather see quick entries and one timers for Kubalik and Soda up front for a screen and rebounds. Simple simple simple.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

The Hawks have this wonderful PP weapon in Kubalik and they refuse to use him. He should be used on the right side like Laine and Ovi are used on the left.

Weak deflection. Every team basically does the stupid drop pass.

It should be used as a second option not the main one. I am not a fan of it.
