Before anyone gets carried away, putting too much weight into these 4pt games, let's just remember the Hawks are a last place team: Hold your horses. beauty of the endless 3 point games. everyones a winner and gets a juice box.

I would think that the "braintrust" of the Hawks have to see this as the tipping point of the buy/sell at the deadline game.
I mean WE know where they truly are and that not making the playoffs is for the best (assuming a kick ass pick position of course), but...do they?

Hawks just aren't bad enough to out-tank the bottom 5-6 teams.

I still see the Blows finishing as one of the final two WC teams.
As far as tonight, I’ll go 3-1 Van

Just keep winning baby. I like it. Hey at least they are making it interesting and aren't pathetic right now anyways. Any of the UC Crowd and Blackhawks fans still missing Q?

If Q had hired Colliton as an assistant to run the PP he would still be the Hawks head coach.
(Or maybe Barry Smith, or both, but if we blamed Q for the Pp woes over the years, I think we have to praise Colliton for turning it around the same way).

With the deadline, the gap between the top four teams and the rest is going to widen. It doesn't mean a hot goaltender could not steal a series.
I'm not a fan of the tank in sports and tend to agree that there should be another system that doesn't reward a team for playing for the top three picks.
Agree completely with the consensus. If they can secure another major trade coup that helps the long-term, do it even if it sacrifices this year. On the flip side, don't deal picks or anything of value to bring in a rental. The team just as likely to have a major injury (or the league adjusting) to torpedo this run as they are to sneak their way into the top 8.

Hawks with a win actually dropped a point further back, as St L leapfrogged vancouver for the 8 seed...crazy...hawks still in last in the division but just 4 points out.

They really did not need to give the Nucks that point. It hurts. That was ground lost.
But win the next game, please. I don't want Wangs fans thinking their team destroyed the Hawks playoff hopes.
As for the game, the Canucks were at least as good, but again the Hawks PP came through big time. I have not seen a Hawks powerplay connect with this frequency. Certainly not during Q's reign, maybe never. Whenever you think they must cool off at some point, they score again. Scored twice this game. It's crazy.
Toews plays like he wants to win. A brilliant GWG. But I have to say. Get him off the PK! Toews is trying to be too cerebral and falls back and half plays the D position in the formation. He needs to play looser and harrass the puck carrier nearest to him. He caused that tying goal.
I mean, Frolik never had great D awareness. But he played that PK forward position with aplomb. He'd go after the puck and go insane. He was also faster than Toews, but you can't just cave in all the time. You need to break up plays, too.
31st ranked PK. Maybe it's time to try killing a penalty without the Capt.?
