BTW...listened to Q post game...looked and sounded resigned to the teams fate and most likely his...very subdued...even he has no energy or interest left...

maybe he ends up in montreal with that trainwreck or the oilers

I’m surprised no one has interviewed Hossa
Starting to think he saw this coming and jumped off the Titanic when he had the opportunity

Everyone talks of being sellers- who goes?

Is Q not playing Murphy to send a message to Bowman?
Playing with Kids careers is wrong.

I’m starting to think Q wants to be fired.
Something will give before Feb 26th

Montreal just signed their own Dinosaur 🦕 For 5 Years- meanwhile Boston thrives with new coach.

I think
the Wild is a possibility

Yes bad OZ penalty for sure. But remember something else, during the penalty Saad breaks in alone shorthanded and as usual absolutely no result for about the 25th time this year. Could have made it 2-0 which 'might' have made a difference at least temporarily, it sure would have lifted the bench for a bit.

And have you ever seen an NHL team use the body on so few opponents - this team plays an absolute non contact version of the game. 50 year olds play non contact, not NHL teams.

And anyone who attempts to play a physical style on this team sits (Murphy, Hayden).

I was very happy when the Hawks reaquired Saad but it just isn’t happening for him. Never bought the chemistry with Toews argument - have always thought he plays more effectively with Kane and stats bare it out. Have been saying all season the Forsling and Rutta can go a whole game without touching an opposing player. Seems to be spreading too. Dirty Ulf is a Moron - get rid of him or stop listening to him - terrible hire. Start playing players where they belong, where they can succeed, with players they are complimentary with. Hartman is a nice player but not as Panarin’s replacement with Kane - has absolutely no finishing talent at this point. Useless to even set him up as he will always shoot the puck into the goalie’s crest. On and on it goes.

Maybe we can get our second round pick back for Q's rights. Didn't Toronto do something like that for Babcock?

I have a friend who hasn't watched consistently in a few years. Says it's like watching a glorified A level mens league. I had nothing for that, couldn't argue with him. Or you.

During the Mike Keenan era, losses were easier to take because we at least showed some enthusiasm and banged a few heads. You still felt like you got your money's worth unlike these sleep walking recreational skates.

bouma...wingles...or sharp would likely deadline departures

It is ridiculous. Goes further - the less Bouma does the more likely he dresses. If Bouma is our big crusher we are in trouble. Hayden gone - what is Bouma doing that Hayden wasn’t? Bouma has no descernible talent - Hayden does. I find it hysterical to watch Forsling, Rutta and Oesterle in their own zone - it is as if the opposing players have the Bird Flu as these Hawks are not going to touch them. Kempny plays hard, has heart and takes the body sits. Murphy, who Captained the Team USA World Championship team plays hard, has heart and takes the body sits. On and on.

Also when Murphy gets back in treat him with respect and play him on his proper side - he can be a Monster.

Sharp has an expiring NTC which he is not likely to wave. Unless he does it for the team and if anyone is interested.

I've been thinking the same thing

Hartman will probably sit next game.

Q needs to be moved on from, yes we may not have the talent
but the constant not showing up to games is on him.

Keith is where I would start in the selling process, Seabs next if possible
Arty 3rd only cause he could possibly bring a decent return, and Kane
if necessary but only for the Duchene motherload.

Secondary would be Cat, Hartman, Duclair, Wingels, Bouma, Sharp and
Franson, Rutta...Kempny and Murphy is a given especially if Q stays.

This could all change if Q stays or goes to pasture.

take away the two blow outs pens and sens...the hawks are -15 in goal diff...

they have no defensive structure at all...they get beat regularly...the goalie are in a gawd damn shooting gallery game after game...46 last night; and the isles owned the front of the net all night...

what we have are 2 types of pains: the death pains of the glorious core and the growing pains of the under 23 group...

other than crawford/kane you have a core of toews, keith, saad, seabs producing at about 50% their contract value of about 29 mildo...

flag football teams have more contact

Enjoying watching yout team sink. I mean really enjoying. Not as much as Rinne’s shutouts in Game 1 and 2 but close.

Really??

You pick the mouth breathing, sister marrying sh1thole capital of the world - Nashville - over ANYWHERE else???

Now that is funny!!!!!

Your ignorance just keeps shining through every time you post here.

And in case you don't know the definition of igorance - and my guess is you don't - it means dumb!!!!! And I know you gave heard that your entire life!!!!!!

That will bring back a boat load🤔

What a mess- starting to think Hawks need to start at the Top with a creditable GM who has played at a high level- a Ron Francis type -

I see April as pink slip time for Bowman and probably Q -
If the players like Dineen he gets the job and if not anyone’s guess but I think per another poster they go young and stop recycling the Torts- Julien- Types
Maybe Kirk Muller gets a shot

Why do people insist on responding to the Nashville troll? With dumb responses no less? IGNORE him and he'll vanish. Simply scroll past his posts, it's not hard to do.

It's time for a bold move and I have zero confidence that Stan will do that. This team won't make the playoffs and shouldn't. You are stuck with 7 and 19 but the player to move is Keith. If Stan were wise, and he's not, he would try to dish Keith to a contender that can afford him, like TBL or other and get a return for the future. In March you can still get a first rounder - plus for Duncs. In the summer, maybe not. You need to hit up a team that's going all in this year.

If the team is serious about being back in a contending position in the next few years during Kane's prime, then you need to put aside the worries of alienating the fan-base and get down to business.

If not, then it's going to be like this for a while, with overpriced tickets to a mediocre product and future gimmicks. What's next, Kyle Calder "One more lap" night?

It's been a great ride for Hawks,but time has come for them to try and get rid of few vets and bring in new blood.Its going to be very difficult for Bowman to get this done.They also have to say goodbye Q.All coaches have there favorites ,and Q has over use them and they now have slowed to the point where they don't have much left to give.The Toews,Seabrooks have had their injuries over the years and now have slowed them down quite a bit.Q as far as I'm concern has mlss used certain players on this current team and over used others.Its time for this Hawks team to make major changes to staff and players.We all have enjoyed the 3 cups and it's been a great team to watch over the last 8 years or so,Go Hawks Go.

You are a looser. Only looses take their time to trash talk. Ever consider being a positive person. Why do you even want to come here and talk trash. You need psychological help. I should pray for you. Maybe you can find some help in church because you aren't getting it from here.

1- I would like some clarity on who the Too 4 D Are going forward and I’d keep Keith

2- I would package Seabs with whatever it takes to unload him-even if that includes 3 other DMan and a roster forward.

3- Biggest Need is a First Line Centre and a creditable GM / president of Hockey opps
