There are a lot of "IF"s in this thing. IF all these people had done something different all this never happens now. Like when Kaner had the taxi driver thing, the police were involved before the Hawks were. Also the girl "rape" thing the police involved first. That's why I have said Kyle should have gone to the police first and I believe the Hawks would have sided with him if he was truthful. Much like they did with Kane when the world wanted Kane kicked out of the game and life in prison. Just my take on it. I’ve had enough of you kicking my ass around. Have you peeked at the score lately? My gawd, at least the losers on my side can put in a half assed effort. It’s not even quarter assed right now!!! I have a 1.4 lead on you tonight so far. One goal and you jump a head. Or worse I'm playing a goalie who is -0.8 right now. |

Thanks for the shout out Vad. It took me a while to find you guys was real busy for a while then it was gone. GT found me on another site most on this site i like to call my hockey family. This year is gonna be rough one with everything going on I just hope we all come out of it cool with each other because for me I always enjoy everyones insight. |

NBC sports chicago is owned by the Blackhawks, Bulls and Whitesox. If you don't have comcast, then your provider pays an extra fee to them to have the channel. Dishnetwork told them no and NBC blocks Dishnet from broadcasting their games. |

I guess it's easier/cheaper to hire yes-men as coach, broadcasters and announcers, rather than hire hockey guys to put a good team on the ice that sells itself. Penny wise, dollar stupid.

IMO,other than the man advantage,the PP is good because our best players are out there together. JT wins FO after FO,keeps the puck alive behind the net and finds an open teammate,Kaner sets em up and knocks en down,D-Cat's money YO......gotta play him with a set up man and I still claim he's good for 40,Jones is good at the point and gets his shot through for rebounds.......gotta feel goals will come for him and JT both on the PP. You could insert Kubs as well but I have no idea what Potter's tryin' to prove with Carpenter.....could insert Hagel instead too. The PK also sees a heavy dose of the team's best players,lotta JT winnin' FO after FO there too,D-Cat is actually a good PK guy and always a SH threat and Jones plays most of the kill himself and Hagel's effective everywhere you play him. Refusing to regularly play your best players together and a lack of almost any transition will kill 5 on 5 offense in a hurry. We see times where Kane stays out after a shift and D-Cat/Hagel and JT jump on with him and we see a quality chance right away,many of the few 5 on 5 goals we've seen lately have come this way. Exit passes ain't exit passes here and I say that after concentrating on watching other teams lately. Our D-man make short passes up the walls or through the middle all the time and opposing forwards jump these passes now. We never see exit passes actually 'EXIT' and hit a forward in stride and we rarely see any of em except Jones attempt to skate it out because he can and he does it out of instinct. Gus the Terrible can also skate the puck deep and get trapped in the O zone too......that's the extent of our transition IMO. Jones actually sprung D-Cat with a sweet stretch pass and D-Cat did the rest not too long ago but let me ask this......how many other stretch passes have we even seen attempted? |

This is one of the worst starts I can remember in the almost 40yrs I've been watching, with the players they have I didn't think it'd be like this.
The scandal and Colliton being stubborn and clueless, this team is rattled. Their shooting percentage is barely over 5%, the league average was 8% last season.
Murphy being the only dman to score a goal so far is ugly but Colliton insists on playing 3 stay at home dmen on the top 4. Gus doesn't play well at either end and the young guys he plays with have to try and figure out what he's doing and cover for him.
A couple posters said they don't wanna fire Colliton and get another coach because Wirtz doesn't want to spend money till the summer. How is letting Kunitz or Brookbank spending money?

Didn't they give Potter a raise when he came up but regardless,what could they possibly be paying him now? Do top HC's make more than our staff's here and in Rockford combined. SB also fired ALL the assistants when Q was booted so the team was paying a bunch of coaches back then 2 HC's and 4 assistants.......no? If it's only money Rocky cares about which should surprise nobody,then promote an assistant until they get a Prs/GM.......there's NO way they could do worse! |

(I know, I know.....he probably couldn't get the right combinations of crates together any better than he can put hockey lines and d-pairs together, but at least, then, we wouldn't have to watch him do it.) |

Colliton is signed through 22-23 season I know he is. that is why I don't think they'll fire him now. they pay him to pound sand after the season when the "new crew" is hired and wants bring in their own coaching staff. that is, unless Danny Boy decides he wants to maybe try a sell a few more tickets this season... |

Do you think if they ask him be fired or return to Rockford as coach he would take that? If they fire him he knows well that he won't be able to get another HC job anytime soon. He probably get an AHL job for a couple years at least and maybe come back with another team like Dallas Eakins did with the Ducks. |

Any of the 5 could play better then Gus! Oh I would as well, Gus should've never been signed and he would've been playing in his spot if he wasn't signed. Beaudin's alot smarter, reliable, younger, and should be part of the future, not Gus 🤢 Can't believe Colby butchered his name like that, his turtleneck bro finally corrected him but there's no way a local teams broadcast shouldn't know how to pronounce a players name. Well maybe with Altybarmakian lol but they should talk to any player they weren't sure about and ask them. |

Hawks are 7pts behind the Sharks and Kings who have 15pts each.
It's not that unrealistic for them to get a wild card spot if they can go on some good winning streaks and minimize their losing streaks.
They shouldn't take the Yotes likely and if they beat them they'll be on a 3gm winning streak before going on a Western trip. That'll hopefully help them bond more with some more wins 🤞
The Alberta games will be tough but the Oilers record is very generous and reality should catch up. 6 of their 9 wins were against non-playoff teams. They're 1-2 against the playoff teams and the Flames look a lot better than their first game, which was a 5-2 loss to Edmonton. And being 50% on the PP isn't going to stay that way thru 82gms.

If Tyler Johnson becomes available does Reese J head down? I would assume so, although I know King likes him. I’d like to see Borgstrom in a couple of games to see what he has now that the relief valve has opened on the team. Maybe replace Gaudette on that third line with Strome and Kurashev. Three center types playing together. |
