Well we are watching the live funeral of #32.

RIP Rozy.....(-2)

Not to sure who's playing worse right now, Crow or Smith

F' this game.

Vinny late scratch, Rozy in? Showcase for Arizona to take Rozy back?
- ikeane

I think he's not showcasing so well.

Defensive zone coverage has been horrible as well...

early night for both goalies tonight by the looks of it...... Geez

This is the worst d-zone coverage the Hawks have had in quite a while. At this point it looks like the Hawks may have not been properly prepared to play a game tonight.

Four players watch the puck carrier and let vrbata move right on in behind crow

ok, wtf was that??

4 - 3 in 3. 2. 1

Defensive zone coverage has been horrible as well...
- SimpleJack

For sure SJ, Eddie O. just channeled his inner SJ and said the Hawks d-zone coverage has been non-existent. You da man SJ.

So are we trade deadline sellers now?

4th giveaway by seabs this period leading to a sog against. The campbell airmails it for an all expense paid trip to the box

Imagine playing this type of so-called defense against Washington or Pittsburgh

I agree Ebony but I would hope they're just playing "down" to their competition tonight. Because the only other explanation is that Vinnie is the key to winning the Cup.

The official (hometown) scorer has the Hawks with only 2 giveaways - both Seabrook. I'd say that is way short because Seabrook had more than 2 and there were a few other guys that coughed it up too.

Hammer didn't practice today and played only a few shifts before leaving the bench.

@Tracey Meyers
Prior to the game saw Hjalmarsson wearing a wrap on his lower back. Could wear it all the time for all I know, tho. #Blackhawks

So Hjalmarsson's last shift came with 8:22 remaining in the first period. We'll see if he comes back to start the second.

@ByScottPowers
Hjalmarsson played just 3:02 in the first period. He also sat out the morning skate. Probably explains why Rozsival is playing.

I'm sure that's that's a large part of it and we're only in February, so I know the yada yada mid-season talking points but still ... it's troubling they can't be better prepared mentally to face an NHL team tonight. Arizona is showing what any NHL team can do when the other team doesn't have their head and/or heart in the game.

Hopefully Q singes their collective backsides in between periods. I wouldn't be surprised to see Darling just so Q can emphasize his disgust in their poor effort.

So are we trade deadline sellers now?
- Dieselhead

Yes, yes we are.

Wow, why is Rozy playing, you know when JJ says they know more about hockey than we do? At times it boggles my mind certain players get ice time, it's time to take Rozy out behind the barn and end his suffering.

This team is garbage and needs a wake up call.

What really disturbs me this year more than any other, how quickly they give up 2 goal leads, really hope this doesn't continue into the playoffs

@TraceyMyers 8:38 pm
And just in case there was any doubt, #Blackhawks announce Hjalmarsson won't return tonight.
