Need the defensive help AND forwards who can help the defense turn the play from defense to offense.

So... you’re saying this team is close to putting it together?

Would you trade Dcat for Nurse straight up? Pretty much the same money and term.
- Dieselhead

No, did you watch Nurse against the Hawks.

Yes, and he was bad.

Not 5x5 they aren’t - again / still no transition game, no ozone time, no pressure on MAF.
- StLBravesFan

I said something similar earlier. Gotta score one on this pp opportunity to start the third.

Too much climbing from behind. That's not a good recipe for teams who wanna compete.

He’s no Cale Makar...
- Chief4Feathers

Or Quinn Hughes...

Yes, and he was bad.
- Chief4Feathers

I said that every game he played. I thought he sucked.

That's why it's good he's getting this experience - so he can get better and be ready sooner than later.
- EbonyRaptor

It's not bad as long he isn't being intimidated or it isn't ruining his confidence.

Bowman and company on notice this offseason. A lot of charmin soft players on the hawks. Size speed physicality and the willing to body check with authority forecheck and willingness to do whatever is needed to win those things are missing on this team. So we will see what happens.

Hasn't he been on notice here since 2011?

Toews needs to bury that...

I have to say, I like what Kane is bringing tonight. I think the Hawks could really use a goal off his stick.

Start polishing the golf clubs boys !

Pretty much...

Until just now...

We have a pulse

1 down 1 to go. For now.

Fleury let in a softie for an old teammate.

Nice jinx

Finally some puck luck.

That’s exactly what I was trying to do...

Its all gravy given they had 0.00001% chance of legitimately making the playoffs.

Need a goalie and defense help and they can compete again.
- EnzoD

no they need a defense..they rank near the top in almost every category: chances against, high danger chances, etc etc...

who are ya going to get come in here and play goal through UFA or trade...

they have no room for goalie at more than 4 mil per..

Caggiula got away with a penalty there

That’s exactly what I was trying to do...
- Chief4Feathers

I did the same with Koek & Maatta. I know that old trick.

Lehner

Kane needs to hit the brakes and take a couple of wacks at that puck.
