Hawks playing them even early on. Interesting youth on this team. Time will tell.

Holy Fuck Subban is even worse than advertised.
This is as embarrassing as we thought it would be so far.

Should be 4-0, but a bogus call saved Hawks. Stanley Cup Champs vs.an expansion team here.

Only the own Subban goal was bad. Everything else was no d coverage. A Colliton special.

He's not getting any help, for sure, and he's made some fantastic saves after that, I concur. The D coverage is awful. Good thing we have Colliton extended so he can work on making it better!
The bigger problem is that Subban or the others CANNOT allow that one shitty goal ever...the team will have zero confidence they can absorb a mistake sooner than later (if not already). It's not fair to any of the goalies, but I suspect bad goals will break the will of the team very easily this year.

What future is up top ? This suter kid?
This team will go down as one of the worst ever barring some major changes.
Also lololol the hawks have the 2nd most money bet on them of any team win the cup.

I head that and loled legit. Was it just me or did the hawks look disinterested most of the game? Like they knew 1-0 was death. |

The fact Tampa made them look silly was not surprising. I’m more interested to know if Detroit is better than them. That’s what matters more.

I just finished watching. Hawks got dominated for 55 minutes, and then looked their best the final 5.
A terrible game overall, and the Bolts were just better at everything, but if you switch the goalies and Hawks have Vasilevskiy and the Bolts have Subban, I feel the Hawks would only lose 2-3.
Vasilevskiy took 1-2 goals off the board, big saves and stopped a breakaway etc, and Subban hoovered in a couple that shouldn't have gone in. He goes down a lot and is so deep he looks small in his net.
I saw the Hawks forward lines, but I couldn't grasp how they play together at all because they got outplayed so bad 5-on-5. Couldn't connect passes and Tampa just moved the puck too fast for then. Can't even blame Hawks D too much (though De Haan is to blame for 1-0 + Subban was there hoovering loose pucks again), because the forwards just couldn't help at all by gaining zones. Just got nothing going at all.
Hawks lone goal... is that how they draw up the PP? Strome scored that fluke PP goal, but was basically useless 5-on-5.
Of the new guys... Pius Suter had some jump. Wallmark too.

In my best Foley cheer- Hawks avoid shutout! Hawks avoid shutout! Completely by accident. But hey, Strome is pacing for 56 goals. Can he be traded now? |

New faces will complicate chemistry with a short preseason, though chemistry improvement will then highlight lack of talent.
Too early to judge Boqvist, but he kind of looks like the same guy that was deer in the headlights many times last year...we'll see.
The Hawks do not match up well with many teams, not least of which is the 2020 Champions.
