ANOTHER team better than the hawks comes to town…oh wait. That’s every team at the moment.
Who are the Rags to argue? They’re pretty good. This one could hurt…as good as the D effort had been lately, they’re due for a meltdown.
Rags 7 Hawks 1

I think this is Hawks big moment and Mrazak makes the difference and Hawks win. Note. The opinion of this poster does not necessarily reflect the views of this web site.

This hawks team in the offensive zone is like five radim vrbatas out there. Lots of movement and maybe a perimeter shot after skating around with the puck for 30 seconds. Sheesh.

3rd straight 1 goal loss. Progress I guess not getting blown out. How was that not a tripping call against The Rangers on their winning drive?

I had a wild start to the weekend, so I only just now watched the game.
Panger is an obnoxious homer. Anytime the Hawks get a penalty it's embarrassing to listen to him.
*blatant hook happens*
"Oh boy oh boy, there was barely any contact."
*blatant high stick to the face happens*
"It was a really good hit. Jones looks so surprised he got a penalty for that."
Asshole homer like that just makes me want to root for the other team. We've got eyes, Darren, we can see what actually happened. Stop fucking lying.
And while you're at it, stop breathing as well...
For most of the game, the Hawks made it pretty easy for the Rangers. Couldn't establish any sort of forecheck and the Rangers kept coming wave after wave, creating chances and playing their game. Rangers offense is so good they gave fits to the (pretty good) defense the Hawks have. Hawks D just needed a little more support from the forwards. Even if you can't make plays in the other end, try to get the puck deep and jump at opportunities on forecheck. Rags D barely broke a sweat the first 40 minutes.
Looking at the difference in skill, the end result once again flatters the Hawks. I guess Master Luke is doing a good job coaching this team, but it's not enough to show in the W column (I count OTL as a tie though). I like how he stacked his lines in the final minutes, and the supermegapower top line ended up being Foligno - Dickinson - Kurashev. That is sad, yes, but also truly that is the absolute best this team can do.
Not all forwards are shit. Foligno consistently plays really well. He owned Ol' Gusto in front of the net on the 2-3 goal. Contenders around the league would have paid decent to get Foligno at the deadline.
I think GM Kyle undervalues what he can sign July 1st. Sure, now the Free Agent Frenzy will be easier for him since he doesn't need to go out to get veteran leadership, but with the money he threw at Foligno, I bet he could have gotten a BETTER player/leader. Plus the asset secured by trading #17 at the TDL. Having your cake and eating it too.
Same goes for Dickinson.
Also, if leadership is so important, he could have just signed Toews to be the 4th line center, for league minimum. Do you think he still wants to play?
Now I'm going to watch the Finnish presidential elections. The second round is between two identical candidates, except one is gay.
