this is a darn crappy hockey team. who would have thought all those summer moves would result in the same record.

Depressing day for Chicago teams..... I can only hope for a couple of press conferences

Hey BG, not sure which feed you get, but Edzo is noticeably frustrated with this team. Refreshing to hear from his usual antics & such.

More frustrating that it feels as though neither Bowman or Colliton will be held accountable.

You're a bit late to the party with this one but way to completely prove the point of what me and a few others posted earlier. Cheers!

Yes, good example of not being to acknowledge that Stan did anything. In plain English, an example of what was discussed earlier.

Kubs with a rocket

Upside
- the organization clean house
SBow & JC gone

Downside
- Long 5 years in rebuild

Is this a character thing? Or, a skills thing? Or, a teamwork thing?

I'm at a loss as to why they are seemingly worse than last year. It's disheartening.

Seems like a lot of everything now. All I know is that I will not buy any of Rocky's booze until this gets straightened out! Wait, lost my head for a second.

The Hawks have just broken the NHL record for most minutes into a season without a lead.

hahah - good thing it's really hard to know which company was the distributor...easy to rationalize a purchase here and there

Sup Bread I'm watching the CSN broadcast. And yeah it's about time he was being serious and not his normal grab ass antics with Foley. Finally

Wait, maybe that’s the plan. Liquor sales down so use the Hawks as a way to pump up sales numbers. Drive people to drink.

Like you said, there seems to be a perception that any acknowledgment of something good Stan might have done or more precisely lucked into, will detract from his much larger body of poopty work, as the narrative would have it.

Looking at the results and looking at the empty seats and hearing that the Detroit fans are louder than the Hawks fans, if Danny et al don't do something, they are completely feckless leaders.

Maybe it won't be firing the both of them, maybe it will be firing some assistant coaches, but some action needs to be taken. This is a mess and stands a good chance of hampering development (and maybe the mindset) of a few very encouraging prospects.

If the Hawks were to tie this game at four, the win in a shootout, would that count as a lead?

I miss the soft serve though!

Apparently, if you factor in the teams who tied during that kind of streak, we'd have to be in the lead before 10:32 to go in the 3rd, so no.

For the sake of the record let's hope not.

I think the acquisition of Jones, MAF, McCabe, Johnson etc. and the return of Toews and a healthy Dach set the fan’s expectations high. But Toews, MAF and Jones are struggling, even with the points Kane isn’t playing his best and the team just looks out of sorts. Add in some terrible decision making and some bad luck and we see the results. I really don’t think the coaches have much to do with this although they're the easiest and most convenient to blame and they don’t seem to hold anyone accountable. To me this is on the players who are void of any passion, are making too making mental errors and just aren’t playing well. All that said it’s easier fire a coach than 15 players.

I miss the soft serve though!

You might be the only one

I hope the Hawks don’t recall Reichel and expose him to this circus.

You would wouldn't you🤣

Yeah - agreed on all that, and I think you're onto something with the accountability. Have to try it to see if it changes the dynamics and the defeatism we're witnessing.

Wtf ...

If Tyler Bertuzzi was taken off the ice because of a Covid issue, would the goals he was involved with have to be taken off the board? Or would they have to forfeit this game?

I miss the soft serve though!
