I know you don't like him, can I ask what it is that you don't like about him? Doesn't worry me at all, each to their own on every player, but just intrigues me. Apologies if you have explained this already and I have missed it

He is a poser.
He is slow. He can't handle the puck to help out his D. Rebound control is meh. And as you have seen, gives up bad goals.

Plus he runs his yap.

Fair enough.

Thank you for your reasoning

Boy do they struggle with possession most nights

Crowd booing the power play - awesome

Np. He is an average goalie. Definitely not one you need to break the bank to sign. Look at the Islanders. They don't even miss him.

2nd PP unit looking pretty good - maybe start with them next time

It seemed to gain some traction towards the end of it. Hopefully it can translate to a goal. One can only hope.

Imagine if the first unit had as much movement as the second...

they don't need him....they have 3 centers.

Im sure there are other plenty of ex Hawks guys on this board can pine for.

GM's too.

- BetweenTheDots

They struggle with possession, Zone coverage, PP, forechecking very inconsistent - almost as if the team doesnt have any structure

They are much more talented than what they show...hence the reason they shouldnt sell too many players. They may regret it.

They did and had the Rags running around a bit. Hopefully the JC Saw that and flip the unit's to start the next power play.

In addition to a high AAV, breaking the bank also means too long a term which is probably what his agent is pushing for. Lamiorello rinsed him on short notice after last season.

There is enough available on the FA market this summer anyway.

20,000 suckers every home game to watch this crap. I was fun off this board on rails before the season started for saying that Bowman did nothing in the off season to make this team better and he will do nothing now. It will be status quo until people stop showing up to watch this garbage. Keep drinking the Kool-Aid, you know who you are. Lol

So people are suckers for supporting their favorite team no matter what? Fair weather fans that started watching and became so smart in 2009 like you are pathetic

64 years old brother. Been watching them a long time.

On the "Miracle on Ice" ceremonial puck drop:

"Well, I saw a Russian and an American facing off and I was like, 'There's not a chance I'm even going to risk this Russian winning that draw.'

"So I kind of looked at Kaner and I just fired it through his legs and he just kind of started to laugh."

One thing the Hawks seem to find is goalies.

Kubalik is a keeper.

So DeHaan, Maata, Lehner, Shaw, Carpenter and Kubilak....weren't upgrades/improve the talent level? (Along with Dach and Boqvist)

Agreed ! I guess as long as they keep packing them in , that's all that matters. I remember always hearing "they won't tolerate losing" !

Too man LH shots on that 1st PP

Exactly.....too difficult to maintain possession or get quality shots. POOR coaching !!!

Nice play by Nylander

Check on the temperature in hell, Nylander just back-checked!
