Trust....we AIN'T WINNING PHUCK ALL in the playoffs if we don't OUTHIT people.

This team will not out-hit people: not built that way, not coached that way.

Better hope speed, quickness, short passes is enough to maintain puck control.

Does anyone else think there has been something up with Oduya the past few games. Maybe an injury or something?
- Hank3Henshaw

Just Johnny being Johnny

You'd rather be even in hits and lose??
- andru2797

Why does it have to be one or the other? Couldn't the hawks hit AND win?

I'm starting to think momentum is a real thing.... At the end of the 2nd Stalberg gets destroyed with no retaliation, the Hawks sorry ass power play does nothing , again, then St. Louis scores to tie the game. Dammit

Well the Hawks can't punish anyone with that miserable power play. If you get a key pp and can't lay some offensive hurt on the other team, then that team is more willing to up physical play, win battles, get shots on net.

Aaaaah cmon not again.....

Team that hits more is WINNING now...and ONCE AGAIN..

not a soul closing down the point entry shot....phucking deserve to lose with such LAZY PHUCKING PLAY.

PHUCKING KIDDING ME

Third period meltdown...again.

Lol, physical play has the Hawks turning over the pucks and rushing plays all nite, but don't worry we're faster goal line to goal line

and here we go again...another 3rd period at home cluster....almost every damn gme is like this....

Totally agree. The Power Play should have been addressed at the dead line.

physical crash the net hockey.

hawks need a breakaway, havent had many

reminds me of beer league no-check hockey!

Again, Hawks have lost complete control of the third period: this more than a trend, it's become a signature.

Cracknell - first two goals.

Backes - first goal in 14 games.

Eliot - stopping everything.

Come play the Hawks and resurrect your career.

These guys are too worried about talking about how loud the building is, how everyone gets chills during the anthem...blah PHUCKING blah...

How about SOMEONE, ANYONE...even with an active stick....CONTEST any shots or passes by the opposing point man ? How about that ?

Trust me....we AIN'T WINNING THE CUP if we don't OUTHIT people.

We didn't outhit most teams in 2010.

- mrpaulish

Yeah, I agree. Getting a QB on the PP would have been nice.

The third period nap.....

We were a lot more physical than these ballerinas....

At home the Hawks have lost 3rd period leads against The Blues, Canucks, Kings, And Ducks..... There is a common denominator here......

I swear to god Dave Bolland has forgotten how to play hockey

Yeah, I agree. Getting a QB on the PP would have been nice.
- Hank3Henshaw

Disagree on QB. Toughness in front of net was needed.

I was just thinking they were making Eliot look good.
