I believe trouba will be a ufa not a rfa but i could be wrong since he only signed a one year deal simlar to stone. Panarin i would love to come back but d and center is where the hawks needs are.

Just checked capfriendly. Trouba, rfa, arbitration. Stone, ufa.
I do agree with you on team needs.

I know he does. Lol

I am just saying that there are players on the current team that may not fit the mold of the new coach and those are the pieces that the Hawks could use in trades.

What you don't get in a trade you then sign a UFA to fill a much needed hole or holes.

Hahaha. I understood what you were getting at. I agree. There needs to be A LOT of player and management evaluations.

This defense including forwards have no anticipation at all, constantly chasing the play

Ward ... that's all I need to say so far.

Ok thanks

Surprised to see Schmaltz actually not see him playing tonight.

Getting out-quicked to loose pucks big time.

I swear Toews is closing his eyes when he passes

What does it say about this game that freaking Kunitz is the best forward on the ice?
The D is just chasing.....

Schmaltz not playing tonight?

This game reminds me of last year - ok, we just got a PP - cant wait for the....wait for it...PUSH EM BACK ENTRY and some odd man breaks by the OIL

Passing is bad again tonight - either rushed and off the mark or those weak one hand on stick little girlie passes.

I get that Kane is all world, but there is no way he should be on the ice tonight. He has nothing in the tank right now.

I don't understand when the opponent has the puck the forwards of the Hawks, don't engage, stand off to the side and far enough away to not make any kind of play on the puck or stop the pass? So many of them do this.

Indeed. It is amazing that you can actually time slow down when that line is on the ice.

Kunitz on the PP and Keith the guy taking the shots ... good plan Q

Konroyd seems like a nice guy but as a color man he says some really stupid stuff - he just said Keith has a sneaky hard shot. I mean ... how can he get away with saying something like that? Last night he said Crawford is one of the best puck handing goalies.

Where's Eddie-O this trip ??

A dreadfully slow start, Ward came up big early, also had a post save him. It turned more in the hawks favor last 6-7 minutes. Better finish, but nothing to show for either side. Hope they pick up in the 2nd where they left off in the 1st.

He gets away with it because Foley is saying Foley things. They are on different pages of different books. Haha.

1-0 Caggiula. 18 secs in. In between Ward's stretched out legs.

He beat Joki, right?

Odd question, but those of you watching NBC Sports Chicago, were you guys hearing weird static sounds?

He beat Joki, right?

Yep

Yep

Yeah, thought so. Not a good play to open the period.
