If #19 reverts back to the form of two years ago, this will be a lottery team with a high probability of another high pick.

I never tire of seeing both D go chasing in the corner, and there's 92 in the slot....No Sharks yet, I'll go to the corner too...Both team's D were a Chinese Fire Drill and yah, CrOw-ugh.

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. Kubalik looks more and more like a really solid addition. 8, 64, 20 was great in the 1st period. Scoring chances, controlled the puck. And how did Colliton handle the hot line?....broke them up for the 2nd period. He said he wanted to get 19, 88 going. They will get their goals, theyre not a worry. But when youve got a 3rd line thats controlling play and getting chances, why in the fuck would you break them up?

Inexperience. Can't forget Colliton is pretty new at this, on any level really.
That is something that could very likely bite him in the ass with the hawks brass always preaching "win-now", and Colliton esentially agreeing with it by stating to Wideman in the pre-game that this should have been a playoff team last year.
He's setting himself up for a Christmas exit with that.

He hasn’t earned the benefit of the doubt to be here till Christmas IMO. If they shit the bed with these next 6 at home then make a change and right the ship before it gets even more out of hand.

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. Not sure the Sharks fixed any issues. They were terrible defensively. EK65 particularly sucked, was partially responsible for at least 3 of the Hawks goals. The Sharks managed the W because the Hawks sucked even more. Once they play a real team, they will go back to losing again.

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? I agree about Kampf vs Anisimov and how it's a downgrade, but really, when vegan-Toews centers you top line and plays the way he does, it almost doesn't matter what bottom-sixers do. The game is lost. Too much of a disadvantage to overcome even if the filler players were better. Top guys need to be better. Hawks lack a top D-pair and 2/3 of a top line. And yes, let's see what Lehner does, please. He is supposed to be a miracle worker, right? The Hawks could use one right about now.

This Exploitation lines are a big deal now, with the elimination of straight checking and energyines any more...having legit secondary scoring is important. Not having it is death

19-88 don't need the new version of Patrick Sharp to be an effective line that scores goals (though that certainly would help). That isn't happening. They are better off trying someone like Perlini who is at least difficult to knock off the puck and can play in the crease when motivated. But then Stan's big ill-advised pickup has no place to slot. And that, unfortunately, is probably the big reason JC is the coach.
Can Kurashev play left wing?

Perlini should definitely get to play in the next game.
Something needs to change. At least Perlini should have a chip on his shoulder. Make these guys fear for their ice time.
Also, if Lehner plays and de Haan plays, there's still room for improvement.
Hawks can't afford to go on a 4-5 game losing streak. They aren't good enough to make that kind of ground later, as evidenced by the 2018-19 campaign.

He's stans guy, Stan won't jettison him earlier if at all. More likely he tries a "fix it" trade first. He's also Stan's guy, in that Stan took a flyer on a guy with little experience on a team that management expects to compete. If Colliton crashes & burns, it should be Stan's head on the chopping block too. So my guess is that Colliton gets a LONG leash on this one. Hell, the Hawks just extended Stan. Rocky isn't going to throw all that money away for nothing...
