Nick Schmaltz a train wreck on the backcheck......

Say it ain’t so, JJ. Best of luck in your future endeavors. Tweet links to your articles. Much respect to you.

Hawks fans, what do you think about the flyers? I think we have a good squad.

Love your squad this year.

The young talent on this PHI team is silly. The defence will be an area of strength with plenty to go around to build around, as well as deal off for offensive/goaltending help in the future if need be.

It's been cool to see how Hextall has been building the foundation in PHI.

And that used to be touted as one of his strengths.

McD and Rocky are not going to be thrilled with the empty seats and quiet crowd for a nationally televised game.

It’s been a joy to watch Hexy work and see his vision bear fruit. Goalie remains our Achilles heal, we do have a few promising prospects.

nothing personal...but i could give a rip about the flyers...

18 strt pp's and a great big 0....and this one almost ended with the flyers scoring

It's time to let the 4th line start the power play.

Why not. They couldn't do worse.

Franson's shot is deadly from the point. I like him back there for that. He's not a PP QB, but a trigger man for sure.

That last chance with :05 when Toews threw that puck out front, there should have been 1 or 2 Hawks going to the net.

You're instincts as a hockey player is to rush the net in final seconds of a period (even more so if you're on the PP).

I agree Franson has a heavy shot, they had a opportunity to shoot the puck on net after the puck went behind Elliott only to play catch with their passing prowess....

however the hawks could desperately use a guy like simmonds..i like him alot..

Woo-hoo... Finally

well WTF...shot on net...rebound and 15 cleans it up...

nifty move tazer...open that 5 hole and slide it through...yeah

take it easy, guys.

like, slow down or something.

WELL poop real point shot on the PP and look what happens.

Nice to see Toews has some moves still.

Schmaltz looks fine to me. At least he tries to backcheck. Kid can move with the puck.

Still worried about contact coming though. Makes some bad decisions under pressure, like turning back into his own d-zone to avoid a check and turning it over, rather than just clearing it up the ice and out of the zone
But thats definitely not the biggest problem on the team
