It's time to tank for a high draft pick, trade some bad contracts at the deadline and hire a coach who knows how to develop young talent.

I guess that the only good news is that Rockford is doing well, and those kids are learning how to win.

Get some of them up here, so they can teach Toews and Kane and Sharp and Keith and Seabrook and....

I feel that this game will end up with Elliott posting a Shutout. If this does happen where does Q go from here with line combinations he may just over heat and blow up the blender. Is it time to hit the panic button and start making moves using the Rock shuttle or bigger changes on the way. Does Q and Stan keep thinking about it?. I hope I'm wrong and the boy's win with a better effort in the next two periods because this is embarrassing to watch.

2-27 and not even a shot or set-up....this is beyond

outplayed...outshot...out chanced craw...so what's next bouma or wingles on the top line after this coming debacle

This team as constructed and coached will not make the playoffs

Gotta keep thinking - there’s still 66 2/3 games left - they ARE better than this - no?

So be it...unwatchable down year. The likelihood of being in the lottery increases with each awful performance. So we have that going for us I suppose.

Gonna be a long winter.

I think people just need to admit and accept these guys just aren't very good right now.

Another lousy period.

The question now is--what if anything will Stan do to correct it.

have the hawks come from 2 goals down this year...i dont think so

i am an agnostic...i think they will put a run together...but i doubt their ability to sustain it

i'm trying extremely hard to be optomistic but with each passing game my optimism is dwindling. they look awful all over the ice except in goal, no structure either.
i like to think they have the horses to turn this mess around but by the time they

Not ready to play, not playing well, 5 odd man breaks. they look
lost disinterested and afraid to make mistakes, McD will soon need
to learn how to market this, aint gonna happen.

They’ve barely SCORED 2 goals this year.

Came back to win after being down 1 to Habs, Preds, Arizona. (I was surprised when I just looked that up).

Well I had a late appointment and I'm in Mountain Time so I missed the 1st...sounds like that's a good thing??

yep as expected those line combos didn't survive the 1st period

Dale Weise goal post on a 3 v 1.....

another (frank)n odd man..and weiss hits the post...they should be down by 4

Justin,

Did you notice in preparation for today's game that our opponent has even more youth on their Blue line. The only veteran is Guskas. So this begs the question, how are the flyers dealing with all that youth? Do they have a coach just for the defensemen?

The Flyers have Giroux and Simmonds up front to match us in accredited star power. I bet their players play their system closer to the vest than Chicago has shown so far.
And i bet they have net front presence on a power play and a true qb on the pp.

Can we match

Hey Hawk -the Flyers young defense are studs. Some high draft picks and great scouting has really set them up for a long time!

They have been very patient with them. Also they have able to grow together in a winning culture with the Phantoms, their AHL team.

A very good thing. It was not pretty for the Hawks.

That goal was a result of 88 AFRAID to get hit to make a play in Flyers zone.

GO FIGURE!

Well that's 3 zip. Not a smart play by Kane at the offensive blue line. Keith not taking his man or his stick....yikes.
