Lehner should pray to stay on the bench. At least his GAA will remain 0.00.

Kampf as your 3rd line center is a roster killer. He's a 4th liner. How the hell did Stan with all that cap space hamstring his roster like that? What was the rush to move AA anyway? And you can't tell me they were counting on Dach to be the 3rd line center as a 19 year old.
Maybe the tank is strong with this team?

Trying for the Blows model of being dead last in the league by January.

I won't say it's because of lack of effort, but they don't have any team speed and their defensive awareness is non-existent.
You let an 0-4 team beat you in your home opener. Should be a long year.

They look identical to last year...there is simply zero system or clue in tghe dzone...I really think Colliton is in over his head...I'm honestly not sure he ever got their attention.
He has no hint if a system...its just gucking pond hockey.
Crawford is officially finished. That d corps stinks.
Nothing good to take away from tonight.

The only improvement from the Flyers game to this was in the give a fuck level. They at least looked engaged tonight. Lost, but engaged.

To me..thats kind of how last year went...they checked out on Q, and just never embraced Colliton...the season was over by xmas. They upped the give a shit level in the second half, but were still a shit tesam...with no system.
That has bled over into this year. This is a poorly coached team...they play simple pond hockey...they only way they can figure out how to play defense is to try and win every game 6-5...but its untenable. I really dont think the team ever accepted him. He has no gravitas, and I do not think he has the attention of the players. I think Marc Crawford is behind the bench by 2020.

You want to wake up the vets, get the team's attention, and maybe spark a fire in their desire to play 200 foot hockey? You bench Seabrook. He's a fucking abomination. Then you sit a winger 2-3 shifts every fucking time their defenseman walks into the middle of the ice unopposed in your zone.. This team doesn't cover the point, doesn't block shots, and doesn't clear the front of the net. How the fuck can you expect to win hockey games in the NHL, in 2019, with that approach? It all starts with the veterans too. You don't want Kane and Toews blocking shots, but for fuck's sake, step in front of one every now and then and set an example for all the kids on this squad. This team just doesn't want to win enough, and NONE of the veterans are showing them how, except Shaw. If you took numbers away from everyone tonight, I would have thought Maata, Murphy, Shaw, DeBrincat, Kubalik, and Saad were the core guys that won 3 cups together. Because they were the only ones doing all the shit you actually need to do, to win a Stanley Cup.

The Sharks coming in losing three in a row and being PO'd does not bode well for the still fragile Hawks of JC. They came in 0-4-0. And you can't tell me they were counting on Dach to be the 3rd line center as a 19 year old. 18 year old.

It really pisses me off when teams like The Sharks that were off to a terrible start of their season come into The Hawks barn and fix some issues and win the game. They are just one example here. Want to get well play The once mighty Blackhawks. Crow I loved you once but take a seat. Hopefully Lehner can stay off the sauce after a few games in the net. He HAS to start Saturday night. I thought The Coach had some brains but maybe not?

It is still just one game, but....
#7 and #2 were not good last night. #56 generally cannot play defense and greatly weakens his pairing in his own end. None of that has really changed. #19 has not looked particularly good either. The sooner Koekkoek is in the press box, the better. Maatta and deHaan will be the Hawks best defensemen once both are healthy. Kane-Nylander on the same line is also a defensive train wreck, but that was pretty much expected and known by everyone except Stan and JC. The PK....where to start.
Once the Hawks committed to a 2nd $5 million plus goaltender, any thought of a legit 3rd line center was gone. The only possibility is someone in Rockford or in the kiddie corps really rises to the occasion.
What is the over/under on how long it will take before the Hawks realize Nylander doesn't really fit anywhere?
Kubalik looks more and more like a really solid addition.
Shaw has more energy and spark in one game that some of these guys will all year at the current pace.

They just aren't paying attention...its a combination of not listening tk the coach and a total lack of a system...I am not sure what percentage to attribute to which side of the ledger, but JC will be gone like shit through a goose if it continues.
Crawford and Seabrook are no longer NHL players. Move on.
