GDT: There’s a game today: Chicago-NYR 2pm cst ABC/ESPN+

[TheFridge]

So we should be happy with this team and management? We should be happy about our GM's worthless vet pickups who are our worst players and who just block kids like Dach (Who should have been up earlier) and Slaggert among others (Korchinski should be up fulltime)

You can't argue with stupid BWC. They're in a rebuild in which no one they've drafted outside of Bedard has arrived in the NHL. Literally every draft pick Davidson has made is 20 years old or younger.

Like my god you've been a fan of the NHL long enough. Figure it out big guy.

 

[deytookerjaabs]

At this point there's really not any more harm done to just cast some vets off the island and let the kids lose games on their own terms.

Sitting behind dead weight lackluster performances from the pros doesn't do any good for developing players.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Then that should be end of Davidson

The team is getting worse not better

If there is no signs of improvement than there is no justifiable reason for him to continue employment

Also stop with the old washed up vets for "leadership"

And get rid of Murphy already

They’re clearly better than last season unless you just completely missed last season or aren’t able to comprehend how they can be better but still bad enough to pick very high as people have mentioned for about a year now.

Anyways, nice for Nazar to get a point. He’s played pretty decently, so hopefully it starts to reflect on the scoresheet more.

Those unfortunate people who spent money and wasted the end of their weekend for this

The Silver lining:

#1 Mathew Schaefer LD futire #1D
#2 Michael Misa C ..54% on draws ..can actually drive a line..maybe best skater intge draft
#3 Caleb Dennoers C ...60% + on draws +35
a lready..been enough scoring last 11 games.
GETTINGBETTEr as season goes on..motor
compete.. physical ..2 way C who has accelerated as a scorer ..currently #10 consolidated ranking way too low.
#4 James Hagens ...his #1,ranking too high..Do nnotcsure ot want himas another to small (at 5'11 C) not sure his game will translate as he
was for USNTDP ..at B.C. more assists heavy than goal scoring..Benefits from playong with 2
great players (Leonard and Perrault) you will pile up scoribg with them but doubt he carries a kine himself solo e as "the star" difference-maker.
If we lfibish deadliest we rest assured of drioibg no further than 3rd overall..Socwe shoukd not have to worry about tradiing tge chance to draft Hagens for a haul...

I Anyway ...Schaefer,Misa or Denyoers can all really solve Hawks needs.to get the roster construction right..only can get 1 of them but hopefully we do getv1 of them.
Hagensxdoes not solve anything for us.

Soderblom looking like last year's Soderblom there.

 

[BobbyJet]

Foligno is at least showing some effort and gumption as opposed to TT who is truly going through the motions with no intention of asserting himself with extra effort.

Soderblom looking like last year's Soderblom there.

He should have been pulled after 2 periods.

 

[BobbyJet]

Keep shooting Frank.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Despite the awful showing, Nazar and Dach both looked good by my eye. Let’s find more young guys to drop these garbage vets out of the lineup.

 

[Praetorian Caps]

Guess The Hawks got to content from their win Fri?

 

[Pez68]

Just get rid of any of the vets you can dump, and play the kids. That includes Kurashev and Reichel. You're doing nothing for their value, or the team, by sitting them.

 

[hawksfan50]

Psst..you nhl team struggling? Have we gotcaxsolutuon for you!
Just schedule the woeful Blackhawks...Almost a guaranteed win for you unless there is a rare exception.

 

[GIADF]

I haven’t been watching super closely but -4 for Allan woof.

 

[Pez68]

Allen a -4 in 15 minutes of ice time? Yikes. Who was his partner? Didn't get to watch this one but this team is just rudderless. They have been pathetic since Jones came back.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Nazar with the least amount of ice time

This has to stop

 

[hawksrule]

Brandon Mannings brother

He was the best.

 

[Callidusblackhawk]

He was the best.

I think I liked when Brent Sopel's wife posted here better.

Wait what

I remember that.

Sitting behind dead weight lackluster performances from the pros doesn't do any good for developing players.

If KD gives the vets infinite rope in the hope they bail him out and make themselves valuable at the TDL that is strike one. He's got to make it clear that there is a line that can't be crossed.

 

[plank]

Send all the prospects back down to Rockford for the rest of the year, not as punishment but to keep them away from this shit show. Start picking guys up on waivers and play them, maybe you'll get lucky with one. Trade any vet you can for anything.

 

[Callidusblackhawk]

Wait what

Sopel had a Boxcar-esque superfan that would post here while he was a Hawk and IIRC there was actually some evidence it was his wife beyond posting here almost exclusively to defend him.

That’s hilarious.

 

[hawksfan50]

Well the dmen pkayed badly but the forwards were brutal too..

It would help if the action wre mostly in the opposing zone ..not in the Hawks zone.

Un gioco imbarazzante! Che miserable bruto!

Can you stand anyore of THIS?

1+41 to go...that is 42games remaining under the watch of Tank Commander Jones and another 5x82 after that...can you take it?

Will you be driven to insanity first before this mess and nightmare ends?

You can only build 1 brick at a time .so 3 seasons BEFORE Hawks are 3 years away from being 3 years away..

Yikes!

 

[hawksfan50]

Haws slopy all game...17 give-aways to justc4 for NYR..

Maybe should be 18 give-aways because Troy Murray on the WGN post-game show blamed Craig Smith for a turnover on a backhand pass that got intercepted and Hawks caught out of position leading to NYR score ..He blamed 1st goa onTTfor not getting puck in deep and the transition by NYR to attack resulted in a goal agaib
nst..So 2 vet mistakes cost us on their first 2 goals on us..

And more give-aways in bunches rest of the game.
Bedard had a terrible game...1 a b but after that he went invisible except for his errors.. Ended with Zero shotsvon goal...ZERO !
Only 1 shot attempt and 3 give-aways..he stunk..but so did many others.

17 give-aways maybe 18 since Smith does not have 1 on the official stats but Murray clearly blamed him on the 2nd NYR goal..

Also I agree with Murray..the Hawks were terrible on protecting the slot...too many open slot chances for NYR..Give'-aways..poor coverages..and lack of team compete level for too may of the Hawks led to this debacle.They let Soderblom get screened..And so on..just an all-round miserable game.
