Ruuta is easily their best D....Stan should try drafting someone like him.

Ruuta is the one who got steamrolled by McKinnon tonight behind the net for a turnover that got dished out to the front of the net for the first Avs goal, right?

Yeah, a big guy like Rutta shouldn't have gone down that easy. And also what the hell was Kempny doing in front of the net, letting Rantanen pot that goal in uncontested?

Keith is a fucking joke...nice pass, douche This team fucking blows 1st thing you learn in hockey as a kid .Don't pass the puck in front of your goalie. It's a shame watching DK get old and slow and now stupid. Actually more and more NHL d men make that pass now. I doubt it's taught at any level but the players will try it a lot when ts the only available lane. When it goes bad it's awful. But it's in the NHL d mans playbook.

Yup...inherently risky, but can be the only clearing option available. Nevertheless, drop pass, touch pass, zone pass, behind-the-back pass....geesh. What ever happened to the short, quick tape-to-tape pass? It seems the Hawks (even the high priced players) are struggling with fundamentals.

When the team concept breaks down (coaching?), players revert back to individual skill sets....and it looks incredibly ugly.
This is not a good team...especially on D...but it shouldn't be as bad as this ..completely disorganized and unmotivated.

They looked totally checked out, zero fire. Everyone just seems to be going through the motions and the PP is incredibly lazy and predictable for players of this caliber.

It would be in the players best interests to remember...you can't make the playoffs in the first month and a half, but you can more than set yourself up to miss them.

I don't know if it's the players being checked out, or if they just don't have the skills to compete anymore. The big stars are fading, and look at Saad the last few games as well - I think Toews infected him with some sort of disease, veganism maybe. The new guys are just fodder. And even if they did step up, you don't win with a rotten core.

And even if they did step up, you don't win with a rotten core. Except it isn't that they are fucking up the plays that actually take NHL level talent to execute... Most of their problem is passing....which is a pretty fucking fundamental part of the game. You don't just forget how to pass or catch a pass at the NHL level. These guys are not focused, they look rusty most nights, and their timing is off... This stinks of a team that isn't working hard enough or prepared to play. I said this before, but they look like my men's league team when we haven't played for a few weeks...
