Keith was absolutely atrocious tonight........

So were you ok with Subban sitting on that Sunday game against Tampa when he single-handedly won the Friday game ? Even Foley stated that Subban should have been the first,second, and third star of that game. Tampa should have scored 10 goals with all their prime scoring chances. Hey.... I really like Lankinen and the year he has had, but when a goalie stands on his head and plays a fabulous game, He deserves the right to start the next game. JMO. It's called coaching... and sticking with a hot goaltender.

you stick with a hot goal tender if you're trying to play for a cup...not when the whole season is based on development.

Absolutely not.... They have overachieved because of goaltending and surprising rookie seasons by several players. Now let's get a coach that can take this team to the next level.

Really so none of this had to do with coaching and player development.

If you had to make the call right now, do you keep Suter? I do, but I'm a little reluctant.

I doubt he costs more than $1.5, for that I would keep him.

I was tagging on him all game also, but watching the way he is laboring to turn, I think his knee is giving him big problems, and he is trying to play thru it, ala Seabrook.

Yes, but on a 2 year deal probably around $2 million per season. He’s still 5th in rookie points and 3rd in goals.

Players I could see going? Strome, Kubalik, Nylander, Zadorov, Delia, Carpenter.

I don't think Kubalik or Zadorov go anywhere both are young and improving players Nylander is a big maybe the rest I could take them or leave them .Got to win the next one or we might well start Delia the rest of the way ..

Kubalik is the only player out of those 6 that I would really miss. I'd like to give Zadorov, Strome and Nylander another year to see if they could start living up to their potential, but wouldn't shed a tear if they're traded.

I could see Nylander for Poehling.

New blog! A recap of the Blackhawks deserved loss to the Predators due to lack of execution, sloppy play, and constant losing of battles.

Plus, a look at how Hagel and Kalynuk's absences could shake up the lineup.
