Well start with goalies that can't stop a beach ball let alone a puck. Right about now they must hate coming to the rink and are counting the days till the season is over. The question now is what are the Hawks brass going to do about this awful awful season? They'll roll out a red carpet for Brent Sopel and Patrick Sharp at a suburban Giordano's and have Jim Cornelison sing the anthem before dinner and thousands of green jerseys will be there to cheer it. Problem solved. That will do. But only if all three will wear their Cup rings, and the place will sell a special newly bottled batch of exclusive UC championship ice at a discount.

Its a real concern seeing how many holes are in this team. Anyone thinking Nailmov can replace Crawford is high. I havnt seen him play a game this year, but last year I did, and he wasn't all that. I dunno, maybe Forsberg can move forward next year accepting a backup role, but again, if Corey hits the sauce, Hawks are waist high in shit again. The best time to move Crawford is right after he wins his first game back.

Is there a somewhat decent UFA-goalie to be that Stan won't be tempted to throw five years and 30 million at? A short-term fix, if you will?
Or are we resigned to either a bad signing for bad money, or more of the same shit next season?

Bite the bullet, and tank for the next 3 seasons. Only way this gets better is an overdue rebuild of the farm system. It's natural to burn up your draft/prospect capital when you're winning 3 Cups, but that time has officially passed. It is now time to pay back Peter after he was robbed by Paul. Foolish decisions to sign expensive FAs at this point only makes matters worse.
The Hawks' cap structure is totally FUBAR. They have the most NMCs of any team in the league and missed the playoffs by a country mile. Who the fuck is running this team? Oh, I know.
The good times are over. It would be prudent for management to acknowledge this and accept reality that is lower revenue going forward as the fanbase abandons the product on the ice.
They can get back to the top in due time, but it won't involve anyone other than maybe 88 being part of it as a hold out from the last "core".

That Greenskeeper job he claims to have keeps him close to the hoses for said practice too. The jig is up. and gone.

Trust me, I only brought up Nalimov for comedy's sake (& BWC), though he is 24,and been in the 'K' for a few years.....It could be Wouter Peeters....Yah, I don't know who that is either.
