Anusmuffs extension was a joke at the time, and an even bigger joke now. Every good team eventually makes a move or two that starts the tailspin, even subtly. Question: was that The Hawks move? Or was there another one that started us towards where they are today?

Crawford is more likely to score than Kampf. After that breakaway just now I agree.

Thst deal was odorous when it was signed...its absolutely hideous now. He does nothing well. Slow, plays small, no offensive ability, lazy and shitty defensively, putrid on the PK andr epic fail on faceoffs.
All for the low low price of $5 mil per.

Hawks score then Preds 8 seconds later. That drives me F-ing crazy 3-2 after 2.

If you're gonna lose, please do it in regulation time.

That was a fun game. Hawks went toe-to-toe with Nashville the entire game. Entertaining.
How about that Blackhawks' power play???

Yes PP improved The Cat is doing his best Ovechkin impression on the left side. Conversely Hawks PK still is underperforming. Hawks aren't pathetic anymore but they just don't have enough to beat the better teams on a consistent basis. We will have to settle for entertaining losses and the occasional nice win the rest of the way.

The PP is actually starting to move around in the zone compared to years of standing still, holding the puck, and firing a blind shot from the top of the point. This is one area the Hawks are starting to look more competent in.

Watching these young defensemen and hearing the reports on the guys in the system, it is starting to look more and more like Toews and Kane are going to run out of prime time before the Hawks have a blue line that can seriously contend again for the Cup. The team will be entertaining for sure, especially if they do the unwise thing and bring back Breadman.
Maybe Joker and Mitchell can evolve into those kind of defensively very reliable players. I don't see it in the others right now. Unless Delia becomes Brodeur or Roy.

Unless Delia becomes Brodeur or Roy. Pierre said the Predators bench called Delia a rebound machine.

Hawk PP has achieved less distance between stations...the D arent on opposite boards any more...the whole 5 man unit plays on half ice now...its easier to make a point to point pass and it keeps the opposition box or diamond compressesd. Cat is getting these looks because the hawk dmen are squeezed closer together, creating open ice and passing lanes at the left circle that were not open before...kane running the show from tje right half boards is really humming...I've said ot before...I'm not sure there is a better sauce passer in the game...he reallly has filthy mitts.
