giveaways, mental gaffes, no concept of team D..that beats this team game after game...

now they have to dig out again and chase the game...

stars got beat 3-0 yesterday...correct...

come on in to the UC and get healthy

other dman pinches..the hawks lose the puck and gus is sleeping in no mans land...

one of these games the hawks may play a 1st period without giving up a goal...

they ahve to be the worse 1st period team in the laegue...wow they give up chance after chance in the 1st...

PooPoo lost a blade after getting his ass knocked off the puck. Gustafsson still thought it would be a good idea to think about pinching and gets caught. Then didn't even skate hard after the guy and Ward can't stop a breakaway to save his life.

Washington beat Zuccarello - less NYR today in OT. Surprised if NYR trade both Zucc and ex Blackhawk prospect K Hayes. Noticed T Wilson now has 17 goals but just 44 gp. Maybe he really could get 30 in a full season.

Also another regular season not far from completion and two former Russian firward prospects haven't reached big scoring numbers. Kuznetsov is better than Burakovsky. They never clicked big time but Strome in Chicago with DeBrincat, Kane, Gus around seems like he will scire more poibts than those Russians.

Jim Montgomery paying off the refs again. They miss an obvious hook on Kane behind the stars net and then a goal down at the other end. Yea, another team that needs help to win. Bettman sucks.

Screw the refs - Hawks losing this on their own - no one back to help a clueless Gus on the first, terrible pass by Forsling on the s3cond, little help from Ward on either.

Let’s review.

Koekkoek loses a blade, Gustafsson forgets that he’s the last man back, gets beat for a break away. Goal #1

Forsling thinks a diagonal, cross-ice defensive zone pass is a good idea. Goal #2

So, these are the defensemen who give the Blackhawks the best chance to win? Excellent!

Montgomery has Stars clogging up centerice and making Chicago advance difficult. He is a smart former collegiate coach.

The remark about officiating: can we ever know each sport ? You know Bettman would never say if he authored his memoirs.

Im sure Pitt would take em (Gus and Forsling)

Hate to put on one game but if the Hawks don't turn it around and win this game I dont think there is any chance for the playoffs . Let's Go Hawks!!!

KoekKoek skate brakes and that is Gus fault?

The future is that these or other newbies are not turnover machines. Their back end is not going to be a compilation of veterans added through transactions..

Zuccarello with Seguin and Radulov minus Benn who is being evaluated with injury suffered early this game. Oleleksiak re-acquired by Stars. We need to have a return of (no not Leddy) but D Wilson and Chellios

yeah once again their high octane offense can come back and the stars will make their share of mistakes to give em a chance...

but really when you need to score 4 or 5 every game to have a chance game after game...forget about it

yeah...he needs to be aware he is the last guy back and not get caught skewed to strong side of the ice...

Will be a greater challenge against the coaching more so than the talent on the Stars team. Greater challenge than against last two opponents

also my comment was in agreeing with you...he is either not smart of lacks simple effort...

in my book...its both

not the his partners skate breaking

And wait for it.... Bowman has no intention to trade Gust he is just a stop gap for boqvist and by the way doesn't play defense very well either. Sell high and trade Gust tomorrow because he is not going get any better at defense he is what he is a rover.

Yes, as th3 2nd defenseman his job is not to let a skater from the other team get behind him to accept a break away pass.

I believe USA hockey teaches that at the Pee Wee level.

New it was flase hope.


Wtf .


AA with a female dog Ss clearing attempt.

Womp womp...back to reality and back to the basement we go!

Field goal by the stars... There's that... What a joke this defense is.

I think Gus views playing actual D as something he HAS to do. His effort in that area is awful. If its not an effort issue, its a between the ears problem.

Kunitz! Trade him while value is high.
