It's always the next pass with this (frank)in power play

God dammit Vinny

Another dogcrap PP. F-cking call Oates and fix this sh0t.

That's where I like Kempny, guy tries to fake him, he plays the body and rides him off the puck.

He looked good. Solid play all around. Decline the Powerplay??

I have said this before - I hate the idea that a ref calls a penalty shot. A new rule should be a team can decide to take a penalty shot or 2 min man advantage. Maybe then there won't have to be the stupid shoot-out to see mono-on-mono play. It will be part of the game.

AA is good when he is on, but I don't think he has played a good game since November.

That goal was on Forsberg and his not moving the puck. Not AA

Common, defense starts with the center

Next season the only d-men I’d like to see return are Keith, Seabrook, Murphy and Forsling. Oesterle could return if he’s the 7th d-man. Gus, Kempny and Rutta can all go.
- DarthKane

Yep! Theyve been playing with 3 NHL dmen all year - Keith, Seabrook and Murphy

What the EFF is AA supposed to do whwhen he goalie is holding the puck behind the net with his two outlets ready - but he doesn't move it???

Anyone that's played knows you have no idea what the goalie is thinking or going to do when he is standing there with time - and refuses to move it. And when he does, it's when all the forecheckers are there.

It is 1000000% on Foreskin to mkve that puck.

I'm not saying it's AA's fault, what I'm saying as a center you see both your dmen behind the net, the center has to anticipate the worst since he is the only one in front of the goalie to play defense, that's all

Cute passes at the blue line almost cost us a goal

Wow no penalty

Schmaltz taken down on a forecheck....play on!

4th line has been the best line tonight. Winning a lot of battles and races to the puck.

And what I'm saying is, AA - and not one of the other 18 Hawk players or the coaches -ever anticipate an NHL goalie to sit and hold the puck for that long. AA was skating towards the puck from the blue line in, and the was waiting - like the rest of the free world - for him to move it one way or the other

The fact AA made it all the way back to the end line before Forsberg lost it, AA was hung out to dry to try to retrieve the puck.

You anticipate what you practice, not for "the worst"...and I bet the play is for Forsberg to move the puck.

At this point Jurco, Kampf and Hinostroza are all better 4th line options than Bouma or Wingels.

Jurco with some nice to see spunk.

The might get promoted to 3rd line. Hartman - AA - Wingels can be the new 4th line.

JC...can't anyone clear the darn puck. Hawks chasing in their own end.

Sharp-AA-Hartman.

Sure but I also believe any play they have designed isn't one that includes AA going behind the net? Or maybe it is

this pred team is a load when they get it going in the offensive zone...

this is going to be a tough one to finish

(frank)ing stupid penalty Hartman.

He should get demoted to the 5th line if they give up the lead here.

- EnzoD

yep...no reason for that initiating there...the puck was gone

(frank)ing stupid penalty Hartman.
- EnzoD

Yeah but with the holding they're ignoring in the hawks forecheck, they call it when Josi is diving in the NZ
