There are a number of blotches on his resume, but the Crawford does know how to coach an NHL team.

But it is curious how he survived the JC & Brookbank firings and within 2 weeks was given what looks like a promotion. I don't think he was in any position to demand anything tho.

Notice any improvement with the blueline corps since he replaced Brookbank?

Personally, not really. The biggest change has been the Hawks goaltending lately.

Could the goaltending be better as a result of better defensive play?

Anyone watching the pre-game show on TNT? Kevin Weeks sounds like he is interviewing for the GM job.

Edit, maybe that is not Weeks on the pre-game show. I am only listening to it. Sorry

Who would you like to see as GM?

He's already there. Davidson will have the interim tag removed after Xmas is my guess.

What do you think will happen with the coaching? Will King be named head coach or will they move to Crawford?

It won't be Crawford. Pretty sure about that one. I guess it will depend on how the team performs under King. If it is Davidson as I guess, its going to be someone outside the org if King falters.

Its Anson Carter.

Did they explain why we only dressed 11 forwards?

That defenseman was supposed to be in his lawn chair in front of his own net, not 200 feet down ice.

My guess:
Hagel isn't healthy enough yet.
Hardman is sick
No one likes Gaudette.

Makes sense

Just saw that Tyler J is on LTIR for a sore neck...wonder if he's got a disc issue like Eichel. Feels like he's been out forever.

Kubs needs to have his stick on the ice. He would have had a chance on that rebound at the end of the period.

Cause dressing only 10 is a bad look? Plus, extra time for Dinky, Kane and Kubalik considering they have played once in the last 8 days.

Time ran out before the puck left Grubauer's pads.

I get the feeling we will never see TJ ever again. Must have taken him to the Khabby stairs..

Too bad they can't let him visit Huet. I believe they closed that loophole.

If you've not seen Hossa's speech at the HHOF induction, worth a watch. Hawks get plenty of shoutouts and there's a nice little teaser nugget at the end of his thank yous to the team.

Impressive player, impressive man. https://www.tsn.ca/video/~2323158

Thanks for sharing, great player, great person, and his AAV was $5M. He earned every penny with the Hawks, and then some.

The lawn chair is in Covid Protocol, hence Jones at other end of ice.

That DeBrincat kid has some hands.
