That first goal stands and I'm convinced this is a different game. Now it's a team that tries but wilts after they go down a couple, knowing they don't have the goal scoring depth to reasonably come back against really good teams.
This schedule, with all the heavy hitters in a row, would be brutal for any team, but for this team it's ridiculous.

Hawks cannot get behind. Zero scoring depth. D must feel like they're skating 30 minutes every night

Is this team almost as bad as last year's team?

Is this team almost as bad as last year's team? Until they figure out how to score, yeah. Having a Half assed trying kane and two good games out of five Domi made a difference. When those guys were on, they made the other team take notice. Until Lucas reichel starts becoming an offensive threat this team has Bedard and then zero to take notice of. |

Kane event at half speed and half effort. Toews at about 50% of what he was (except in the face-off circle) and Domi subtracted. Still a big step down this year on talent and skills. One might say the improvement on the Blue Line has been equaled by the deterioration in the forward lines. And you have to think this is by design where either talent rises to the surface that was unexpected and they progress that way, or they are what they are and another lottery pick is on the way. And the latter relies on fans' faith that they will pick the right prospects and become the new version of the Lightning or their former selves in the late 2000s.
Lots of indications in the last week that this is going to be more of a grind than last year, which is saying something.

The fact they can’t win a face off dooms them since they aren’t good enough to get the puck back and end up chasing for that entire shift.

Shutout. This offense is impotent.
Mrazek was fine, D was okay, even if Vlasic didn't play his best game. They just can't score. Reichel line a turd again. Bedard with a nice release on that PPG, except it never happened. Bottom six guys did their job, except on that breakaway against in the third that was the nail in the coffin. Not that it really mattered, since the Hawks never scored.
Raddysh is still useless. Kurashev is just as useless as he used to be before. Athanasiou is always in a hurry to do nothing. Reichel needs maybe a month in Rockford.
I don't know. It was an expected L, and they did at least battle for pucks unlike in that game in Denver. The Bruins were just clearly better, and the Hawks need a playmaker.
For a moment I thought Tinordi injured someone again, but it was actually Dickinson's skate. Foligno was good. Katchouk was alright. And at least no shortie against...

The only shortie last night was the one in Pain’s pants.

In retrospect, the schedule ramp-up has been unusually brutal for the Hawks. They probably are not as bad as things may seem, though they probably also are as far from being relevant as the results against the relevant teams have played out. The lack of ability to score and the general lack of goal scorers is not going to go away with this roster as currently constructed.
