We’re almost 5/8 through the season now!
Only 3/8 more of this mess to endure.
I smell a win tonight maybe. Calgary thinks it’s good but they actually blow chunks. KD should buy Huberdeau from them for their next ten firsts. Maybe grab weegar too. Weegar is good on D.
Hawks 3 Flamers 2

I could see KD picking up Mangiapane in the offseason. 6 million cap hit through next year which helps get to the cap floor and no long-term commitment. Future 2nd rounder or prospect coming back.

I remember when Hawks were on these road trips we were happy for a 3 3 trip hoping for 4 2. How about 1 lousy win or at least not get shutout.

Maybe grab weegar too. Weegar is good on D. I don't trust anyone whose first name is MacKenzie. What about Dennis Gilbert? I hear he is good... |

What happens first?
Gary’s next erection or a goal by the Hawks?

Another shutout. This team is built to look like Luke Richardson. Big d-men, solid in their own zone, no offense. I watched the Sportsnet feed and they showed some footage of the last time the Hawks had a 19 game road losing streak.  It ended against the Calgary Flames, and there were some highlights shown. Mark Bell scored off a nice feed from Steve Sullivan. Of course they also fucked up Korchinski's height in the other segment.  Not sure if they used some pre-draft measurements, but he's at least 6'3" now according to eliteprospects. And it's quite easy to see as well. The Hawks played excellent D. Mrazek was solid again. But these guys just cannot score. This time it was Katchouk who was everywhere - two breakaways, a nice pass to set up another chance (to Sanford, I think?). But no goals, no points, no nothing. They need a scorer. With Taylor Hall, or even Athanasious, and don't even mention Bedard, this game is not a loss. Great defensive plays and positioning. They really gave little to the Flames. I think maybe Korchinski needs to be on PP1. He's probably the most creative offensive player on the team, at the moment. Sure, he sometimes challenges players at the wrong times (red line), but that's a chance you have to take when you're down by one. Vlasic is a great young talent, but he's not the best offensive player that's for sure. Seth Jones played well. I don't know if you could maybe expect some offense from him as well, what with his salary and his veteran leadership. But I imagine it's getting a little bit desperate when you're expecting your D to also carry your offense. But that's probably the likeliest scenario if the Hawks are ever to win again on the road. Reichel seems like he's good with the puck, but he's not ready to make plays at this level. He gets muscled out of pucks and he can't make plays in traffic. Kurashev is not developing anymore, and I wish the Hawks had kept Kubalik instead. At least he could shoot the puck and score some goals. Mrazek, Jones, Vlasic, Tinordi as well, the MVP's. Tinordi was very visible, winning puck battles left and right. I think everyone on D played well. Isaak Phillips made one bad play, but Mrazek bailed him out and Phillips had some nice plays the rest of the game. Even split the D on offense once. Big money bros Dickinson and Foligno provided nothing. And other "top 6" forwards Raddysh, Blackwell, Donato were shit as usual. And Joey Anderson. I think I pretty much mentioned everyone. Oh yeah, Entwistle was shit too. And Sanford - why was he on the powerplay? |

Great chance this team blows past that 51 teams road losing streak, next winnable road game isn’t until 3/23 at SJ.

They could run a powerplay with 3 defensemen, and that would unironically have the best puckhandling players on it. Has that been done before?
Kurashev - Reichel
Vlasic - Korchinski - Jones

Reichel doesn’t have it, a left handed Al Nylander
