So I guess the Hawks are returning to the strategy of...

...not showing up for period 1.

Recently they'd been experimenting with...

...not showing up for period 2.

this narrative that the hawks know how coast and conserve energy is just nutz...
they aint doing either...they are getting outplayed

how can any team or player decide which games are expendable which are not is nothing but hubris

Way to go Dunc's...

Break out that wonderful PK.

I have a suggestion...

...how 'bout calling a damn slash on the B's!

Multiple in one shift...nada.

Both teams getting away with shenanigans. Keith got away with several before being called.

Boston can't win in those uniforms. I'll bet they got little footies on em.

GO HOCKS

Just totally getting out-muscled by Boston. The Hawks have won very few of the one on one battles which is why they're spending most of the time chasing around in their end and very little time in the Bruin's end. It's like big brothers against little brothers and that doesn't usually end well for the little brothers.

Did Boston even need to scrape the Boston end of the ice, after that first period?

Yech.

Shmaltz is a keeper. You can't teach skill.

Hawks getting sloppy defensively here

I would really like the first PP unit attack the f'n net, what a waste

I think we need some time with 88 & 72 apart. All they are doing is trying to pass to each other and it's getting read every time.

They look almost lazy trying to enter the zone.

Have the Hawks had more than ....perhaps 2 scoring chances so far tonight?

Way to go Jon...take a penalty while on the PP in the Bruins zone.

So much for that...

What a dumb penalty by the Captain, just put him on IR, he's just horrible this year

I think we need baastin to score. We don't seem to play well unless we're coming from behind. It's the 2017 rope a dope. (Dope a rope? Smoke a dope?)

Yep, at 10.5 per to boot. That has to be one of the dumbest penalties i've ever seen. Where's the presence of mind with almost no time on the clock??????

That's a LAZY play by our Captain. Instead of moving your feet, let's just put a good ol hook on em !! My Gosh he's lost it physically and mentally.
Too many concussions ?????????????

I don't know about anybody else but watching this team play lately I get more and more aggravated. Very frustrating to see all this talent play like poop. I know someone will say they're almost in first place and blah blah blah, but to my eye this team right here right now is not very good, mediocre at best

Careful. Don't want to be branded as a Negative Ned.

Most nights, even if they find points...

...they're just dull.

Unless you're one to get excited about Hawk defensive zone turnovers.

Look'n like first goal wins...

- kinigitt

He should stay in the lineup if he keeps this up. Hounding the puck a lot more.

aknowledge the good with the bad. nothing wrong with that.

Not much good happening lately. that will likely change.

Team doesnt look hungry. They dont look like theyre having fun. More than a tad complacent. How much of that comes from the vets floating?

It's a real drag seeing Panarin settle into a rut. His creativity and feistiness needs to be exploited. That one-timer is world class, but he can bring so much more.

Tooth draws his second penalty....good work.
