This team had been winning by playing awful defensive hockey for far too long. It was totally unsustainable.
Hawks give up 34.6 shots/game
Worst in the league
They have the 2nd worst shot attempts percentage and 4th worst shot differential per game
This is an awful team, still, defensively.

Pretty well showed what happens when EVERYBODY ignores playing D...Lankinen was a rubber ball sadly. I swear I didn't think Laine was playing until Foley said his name in the 3rd.

Got too high on themselves up 4-2, sat back and let the Jackets attack the rest of the game.
Goals 5-6 from Lankinen were awful, but he’s been overdue to come back down to earth.

Missing Murphy did not help that cause, although letting the kids play more is something we should embrace...just been a little harder while they've been winning and losing close games in OT.

I can't believe they blew this game. So deflating. Lankinen needs to make that final stop in a close game like this. I'd like to see Delia get one start. He has to come out spitting fire though. I think this 4-2 lead in the third period may end up being the highwater mark for the season. They had a real good run the last few games. It was nice to see Beaudin and Mitchell score, but I wish at least one of the new d-men could play actual defense. And don't get me started on Bowey. And at times the Hawks got away from their more recent, tenacious backchecking. I know the Jackets are an exhausting opponent though, so maybe they were just too much. Interesting Pat has been very snarky at Max Domi tonight, calling him out on a few plays/misplays specifically and is now talking about him being "less than impressive" for the last minute or so. Not sure what Pat's beef with Domi is if any, just seems odd he's centered on his play specifically tonight on at least three separate occasions. Domi was terrible. Is terrible. His dad should give him a spanking. Laine was also atrocious, skated with his back straight like he just didn't care when Soderberg was killing a penalty and pinned the puck between his skate and the boards. I don't think this Jackets team is going anywhere built the way it is now, but they were still too much for the Hawks. Which is sad. Too much of the Hawks offense goes through Kane. Imagine how bad this team is if Kane got hurt?

Domi was terrible. Is terrible. His dad should give him a spanking. Understood, but why was Pat specifically going after him was my question. Three occasions at least and the last one was a lengthy discussion about how unimpressive he has been vs. the Hawks. That seemed excessive, deserving or not.

Pat definitely has his targets lol. I remember early on in Campbell’s start with the Hawks Pat would always point out his unimpressive +/- over the past few games.

Pope Pius? He seems to finish his chances, but I don't see anything that special in him. I'd say it's just Kane. Kurashev or him aren't real top six forwards.

Suter at least isn’t afraid to go into the dirty areas. Kinda like how Gary tickles Jim’s brown star with his tongue.
