But hey Hawks didn't play terrible. Hawks forwards were completely totally awful and useless and should be shot to the Moon. It was an abomination. They barely generated any scoring chances and all those powerplays resulted in nothing. Easiest shutout in the history of the league. Ukko-Pekka should buy dinner for the Hawks assistant coach responsible for forwards (Derek King?). And at least dessert for GM Kyle. I don't blame Soderblom for the goals against really, but he also maybe could have stopped at least one of them with better positioning, or like better posture. He was caught off guard bad when a puck came when he wasn't expecting it. At least cover parts of the net. But yeah, Soderblom didn't lose the game. Hawks offense did. That was dreadful to watch. None of them looked good. The Sabres didn't exactly play great hockey, but the Hawks had nothing to throw at them either. Just hoping for a 0-0 tie (shootout). Reichel doesn't belong. Fucking Pitlick doesn't belong. Raddysh, Joey Anderson, Reese Johnson, whathisname Stanford. It's just like 12 random guys from my nearby outdoor rink, and somebody just gave them jerseys. In fact, I may have seen Entwistle at the rink this week. If it wasn't him, I couldn't tell the difference. Anybody can lob pucks and skate up and down. Including me. I could have done what the Hawks did in Buffalo. Which is nothing. And you don't need to pay me a million bucks to do it either. Somebody please show me a worse 12-man forward group in Blackhawks history:  |

Don't tell me the ABC-line and Yakubov/Vorobiev/Igor Radulov couldn't take that forward group. One diarrheal lineup vs another, I think I'll take the 03-04 Hawks.

Really there is no reason any of them should be back next season. Kurashev and Dickinson stay just because of contracts. Anyone that is UFA or RFA, GTFO!

I’d be inclined to break Bedard’s jaw again just so he doesn’t need to be exposed to this. It may damage him permanently.

It may damage him permanently. The jaw-breaking or the playing on a line with Philipp Kurashev? |

Somebody please show me a worse 12-man forward group in Blackhawks history: This is a perfectly fine AHL lineup. Before they get nothing from Reichel, send him back to Rockford. Let him have some success. |

That's a memory I buried a long time ago. Thanks for the PTSD. Which one of our Russian busts had the unibrow again? Or the other one that came up and scored a bunch of goals, but disappeared forever... first name started with a D and last a N I think? I don't remember, but I thought we had the next Mogilny for a second. |

It came to me thanks to a quick search: Dmitri Nabokov Traded him for JP Dumont right? An actual good trade from back in the day. |

It came to me thanks to a quick search: Dmitri Nabokov I thought of Nabokov just yesterday, just see the Islanders gameday thread. Now because of you, I'm thinking of him again. So with this short sample size you could say that a day rarely goes by without me thinking of Dmitri Nabokov. |
