B/U has been a problem, but the team in general just doesn't have the compete level that it once did to give a B/U a chance on a nightly basis as was the case during the Emery and Darling eras.

Have to agree Forsberg and glass stink. Definitely on hook for 5 or 6 points.

It's too bad the Hawks have invested so few draft picks on goalies. Aside from a bunch of 6/7 rounders. Then Simpson and some kid who's in the USHL who they picked in the third round.

Just another in a long list if Bowman mistakes.

Doesn't matter who's in net when you can't score one fucking goal yourself.

Neither of those guys were Bowman draft picks. Even if they were, that shouldn't dissuade a team from drafting a position high. The run of awful picks on forwards didn't stop the Hawks from drafting forwards anymore.
And it isn't even about 1st rounders. Investing more upper-middle rounders on goaltenders might have been a good idea. It would have been perfect under the Hawks' philosophy of drafting guys who wouldn't be NHL ready for 4-6 years, since goalies usually take longer to develop. Instead they decided to just get lucky with end of draft guys and now the Hawks have nothing in the pipeline. And Crawford is 33, so even without injury it be important to already be looking for his eventual replacement.

Drafting goalies in any of the first 3 rounds is just dumb. It's really not all that hard to find a competent goalie.

Which is why I said "And it isn't even about 1st rounders."
But that article ignores the fact that goalies picked in the 1st round are still more likely to make the NHL than goalies picked in later rounds. I hate you for making me do the work, but at lunch I'm going to run the actual numbers and I am sure that they will back up my claim.

Quit cryin, and do what you're here for...And I was being ironical about where they draft (shitty) goalies.
