I am not sure who is the worst coach in Hawks history but I would have to say Colliton is right there with the likes of Alpo "bark, bark" Sohonen...

Well if you go by win percentages, Trent Yawney was pretty awful

Well, the silver lining is they'll be pretty rested for the 3rd.

Yes but he was a good coach in Norfolk developing players especially with the defensemen and has had been a pretty good assistant coach elsewhere.

Not just the blue line buddy.

I agree and disagree, i would even argue that if teams switched blue lines it'd be very difficult for the Canes to do anything. I do think Canes forward group are better but that blue line is light years better than ours.

Who on our blue line would dress for the top 4 dmen on this Carolina team

It depends on who is injured.

Very nice, hahaha

My question is how much is the over rated Dougie Hamiltons next contract is?

In theory, yes, but the majority of our forwards are barely even skating tonight, so it's hard to say anything definitely

Probably because they're so busy chasing in the defensive zone tonight

Playing defense and being forced to stay on the ice for longer shifts because you can't get the puck out of your own zone, game after game after game takes a toll

Canes scored because of defensive breakdowns & 1 Subban flub. Not the forwards fault. Maybe a poor pass or whatever by the forwards, but Canes makes us pay because of poor d play.

I can't argue any of that. What I will say is that they can't establish or maintain any time in the offensive zone at all, which would cut down on the exhaustion, and put more pressure on the other team.

And the better dmen help sustain pressure in the ozone, that's why I'm glad Bowman is drafting all these dmen

Agreed. Getting dump-ins would help as well. Canes good at shot blocking too, really helping keep those numbers down.

Liking Delia in the game so far.

Let me get this straight, from what I’m reading here their defense is light years ahead of ours and their offense is better than ours, and yet many are surprised the score is 4-1, interesting.

I would love to get 51 back on the PP, in place of 2

I'm not sure who is surprised? Most label us as "suck."

I'm not quite sure what your idea of "many" is here. I'm not happy with the way they are playing at all, but I sure as heck didn't expect much better.

What's up with Svechnikov cross checking and elbowing everyone

Hahaha unfortunately, sigh

They should put Fields out there

I would love to get Zadorov off of the PK, and then off of the team.

You and I both. The silver lining is that we have some good young Dmen that will be around when we make the playoffs, and there’s some good young middle six forwards as well, then there’s about four or five guys that belong in the AHL.

Necas falls a lot

W.C.?

Adb 4-2

Nice, Hawks getting chippy, like it
