Not surprised they won, but I'm surprised it was 7-1 and not, say, 7-6.

Amazing Hawks have only given up 2 goals in the last 2 games. JT 30 goals must have given up the vegan lifestyle. Such a streaky team these Hawks are. Too bad there's been more bad than good streaks.

It's just too bad they decided to fire Q this season, instead of the offseason. This is 100% a playoff team if Hawks fire him after last season.

An engaged, healthy Crawford covers up a lot of other problems. I'm not there yet with this squad. I'm still attributing 50% of this mess to Stan Bowman, but his moves this year have been solid (f-ing finally). The Debricat pick was also big. In my mind it allows the team to focus on the blue line and filling one top six forward instead of two. And if the Perlini from the last five games becomes the Perlini going forward, all the better. I think we need a bigger sample size (like the next series of games) to see what they have in Perlini and how much Kampf being back helps the bottom six. If they pick up a top 4 defenseman that isn't 33 years old somehow, some way without giving away big assets, combined with the offensive defensemen they have in the pipeline, there is hope. Still, there isn't much in Rockford short of Joker to have much excitement about and they have not shown the ability to play with the top six teams in the conference - when we see that I'll happily eat crow.

Nothing wrong with a 33-year-old d-man if he is good. Fans overrate youth anyway. You can chain good 33-year-olds and fill a spot like that much easier than acquiring a young d-man via trade.

Fair, but I'm not liking the free agent pickings, and the Hawks probably can't afford to have another big overpay contract. He probably needs to be able to play the left side if they think Joker will be in the rotation next year.

My worry is Stan is itching to lock up Perlini to an extension after this latest stretch. You know he loves prematurely signing these players when there’s zero outside market for them.

Make sure to lock up the entire future core, Perlini, Caggiula, Kampf and Kahun. Long-term. Overpay if you must!

As far as the younger D signing instead of the older vet goes, Stan tried that with the hammer trade and the results have been underwhelming. An established vet may be better. Depends on who is available...and Stan, of course.
Fuck off for mentioning a perlini extension...that's soooo Stan it hurts to think about.

Improvement of Strome/Perlini is more on Colliton than Stund. Perlini does have Bickell numbers in the last coupla weeks though.

Strome was put in a position to succeed in Chicago and, with his hockey gifts, he has. No Idea why Arizona didn't want him based on what I've seen. Playing with skill like Kane and the Cat on a PP that actually works helps, of course.

Don’t say I didn’t tell you so come Summer 2019 when Perlini is given 1-2 years.
It’ll be spun as a piece of a saavy trade made by Stund Bowman that was part of the Hawks “rejuvenation” in the 2nd half of the season.

Jonny at 71 pts, Career high is 76. Looks like 85-ish this year. Such a waste of career years from him and Kane and Strome and Cat.
