This team is fucking lost, top to bottom. They have no identity. I cannot tell you what they are trying to accomplish in any aspect of the game. They have no system or plan of attack in either the offensive or defensive zones... Yup. Recurring failings....no net front presence & ineffective perimeter offense; putrid PP that won't even put pucks on net; totally lost D...pretty much night in & night out.

This was always going to be a loss. I'll take the positive out of it.
- Murphy scored a goal. Must feel good after a rough start. Hope he turns it up.
- That Saad-Anisimov-Panik line at times seemed difficult to play against. Probably the only line that was.
- Bouma's been having a couple of decent games. He skates well and works hard. Got rewarded with a point and was the only player with a +1.
- Surely Sharp and Kane won't be on the ice at the same time anymore. Can we trade Sharpie for Matt Ellison?

The demise of this team is happening right before our eyes..A slow painful death. Not fun to watch. Is there a cure out there or is it like cancer research,a pipe dream?

The problem I see is there are short stretches when they seem engaged, and when they are engaged they look decent.
Those short stretches are far too short.
It's not like help is close by in Rockford so I am thinking Nurse Stanley will be making a trade or two at some point to both "shake things up" and try to get this team into a position to make the playoffs again. That could end up setting this team back way further than the summer moves did.
Could be/probably will be a long year. **researches tumor people pics**

Last time Stan made a trade to shake things up, he accidentally landed a critical blow on the defense.

I know. Thing is that's what GMs often do when they get desperate to not only turn the team around but to save their own skins. The last two years of first round eliminations got that process going in the summer and as noted it hurt the D badly. If that mindset holds for our resident Nurse GM, look out. A few more R******d-esque or Jurco-ish moves, at a higher level with better players being swapped out, could put the Hawks in a hole they won't recover from in the Toews-Kane-Keith era. Scary stuff, but I don't expect Stan to suddenly get trading right when the team is at it's weakest point.

Maybe he'll sign Iginla?

Sigh.
...but that won't do any long term damage at least.

#5, much like his predecessor with that number, is trash.

I've said it before, but Stan and Rocky's number one problem is greed. They should have Florida Marlin'd this squad right after 2015. 3 Cups out of one core more or less. That's a used car with 300k on the odometer. By now, they would be seeing the benefit of that decision. Total fucking idiocy from the front office.

By now, they would be seeing the benefit of that decision. Not neccesarily. I mean, Stan loved Jurco and R****Bla, and traded a key piece for Murphy. among other moves... It's highly likely that gutting the team in 2015 would have resulted in what's happening now, happening sooner, with few ways to right the ship at hand...just like now.

Trading for Murphy is part of the current disease. Hammer and others should have been dealt for picks/prospects not guys past their ELCs.
