Little late to show you have balls now girls......

Guess those predictions of a Hawks win in 5 are looking mighty silly.

closest would be wings in 2013...won 3 str to go up 3-1; wings whipped them pretty good and then the flip switched

This team doesn't have that level of talent. Where is the leadership on this team? Hossa Schmaltz and Panik are your best forward? I don't want to see Crawford next game.

i said 5-0 after the 2nd and bingo...

I don't want to see Crawford next game.

WoW.

Crawford is certainly making it difficult to trade him this summer.

Hawks should really stop wasting our time and stop talking about showing more fight because they are all talk. They failed miserably. Preds get a ton of credit but two straight shutouts at home is just inexcusable.

so Hartman did replace Shaw in the stupid penalty department after all

Wings never shut the Hawks down in '13 like this sh$t show we're seeing now for two games.

Perhaps indeed.

I actually think we might be. And if I had to put $$ on it I'd say the Preds win this series.

But....my point is there shouldn't be anyone saying "it's over". There's still a chance. And it's worth staying faithful and level headed without jumping to conclusions.
- SimpleJack

I agree Jack....we could win 4 straight , you never know.

As bad as things are right now, I STILL think it would be foolish to count out our Hawks down 2-0 in the series. Even with 3 of the remaining 5 possible games being on the road.

Time to raise our level of play and gain momentum in Nashville. I believe it's possible.
- SimpleJack

They were shut out two straight games on home ice. The Nashville arena will be absolutely rocking and I don't think the Preds are going to come out flat the way this team has. I see absolutely nothing, not one sliver of anything that makes me think this team has any chance in this series. After game 1 there was some reason for optimism, but not after this game. Now they are going out like a bunch of punks taking cheap shots on the Preds, If you're gonna lose, do it with some digniy. Don't make it worse by showing your frustration and giving the other team the opportunity to laugh at you, which is what the Preds have done after every cheap shot. Now Hartman is likely out for next game. What a moron.

there is nothing to say. all they can do is prove it in game 3 in Nashville.

I'd be shocked if Crawford is replaced on Monday.
He needs to play strong and keep his value for the summer.

It's all on reputation. The team was smoke and mirrors most of the season. Goalies standing on their head early, a farce special teams, no real scoring depth, aging players, or young players. They got their 3 Cups, got paid and now they are playing things out for this year.

So is it Darling for Game#3? I would. Crawford wasn't sharp tonight. Goal 4 and 5 should have been stopped. It didn't matter in the outcome of the game but your goalie has to be sharp and Crawford wasn't tonight.

big penalty kill. and a pp that looked like one. with SHOTS ON GOAL!

Dont worry, Duncan's offensive prowess will lead them to victory.....
Night JR.

i would bench toews and kane...team needs a spark

- matt_ahrens

He will probably get a game and he should.

Good God. Steve Konroyd is an absolute idiot. Pat Boyle goes out and rips the Hawks and calls the effort a joke, but Steve Konroyd said he disagrees. If that game wasn't a joke, what is? 10-0? That guy just lost whatever sliver of credibility he had as an analyst. They were outworked, outmuscled, outsmarted, out everything and he's gonna try to make excuses for this team. Dumbass.

- Return of the Roar

He's being out played. It's not even close. Darling can't be any worse. Have any better ideas? This team is flat. Worked in '15 against the Preds.
