It's not just the missed passes where the pass is either out reach or in the feet of the receiver - it's also the hand grenade passes where it hits the mark but the receiver is covered and has no room or time to do anything with it. It's like a team wide epidemic where even Kane and Toews can't make clean passes.

Lmao. This team is pathetic.
- EnzoD


Organization is a joke.....starting with McDonough who claims this is a playoff team.

This situation is all up to Rocky now.

Quenneville gone and the youth movement begins with Colliton. So it's time to clean out from the top down.

If Mac and Stan are here next year I'll be shocked.....and the season reservation holders will be bailing.

The Hawks have several players that can be moved at the TDL for draft picks or prospects..

Crawford is clearly healthy--and a proven winner. Some bubble team will over pay.

Keith is still a quality D man. He, too, can return pieces.

Please, someone take Seabrook.

I'm not convinced Schmaltz is anything more than a figure skater. He, too, should be shopped.

Kane?? Dare I say it? Should the Hawks decide to move 88, he should return a haul, some team will surely over pay.

But..... I dont want Bowman to make those trades.

A tribute to Q for those of you so inclined - comes in hoodies, tanks, t-shirts, mugs, etc.

He would finish off the Blackhawks.

Kane, man it would suck to see him moved, but he alone could get your multiple high level pieces/picks.

If you moved Keith, Crow and Kane you are looking at 7-10 top prospects/high picks. You could essentially rebuild the franchise overnight. Kane goes somewhere else wins Cups (which would be fine with me) while the new regime ascends.

But as you rightly say, Bowman can NOT be the man leading that change, though my sense is he is immune.

Is this shirt the Hawks campaign or just some other producer?

If there is a possible silver lining to this mess it would be McD gone. One can hope.

Kane, Toews, Keith, Jokiharju, and Cat....everyone else SHOULD be actively shopped. It’s painful to watch this team.

I suppose if you're going to be a bad team - be the best bad team.

Actually doesn't appear to have anything to do with the Hawks - just a fan. Of course, they will probably shut it down for that reason.

I got $40 seats to the Ducks game a couple weeks ago through an offer email I got from MB Ice Arena. No fees either. Had to do it.

Somebody tell Foley that OT losses are still losses, and that those need to be factored into calling someone a .500 team...


6-8-3 = 6 wins and 11 losses..that is NOT 2 games under .500......it's 5 games under

currently at #27 out of 31 NHL Teams

Sigh, missed the game.

Was it really as bad as the score would say it was?

Regarding Colliton - I hope they’re more realistic in private about what they expect from him this season than they are with us in public.

They should be measuring him in terms of improvement in the young players and keeping the remaining core engaged and involved in the improvement and implementing a system that looks like it may work.

I was just thinking the same thing. How is winning 6 of 17 games the same as 2 games under .500? It is not.

The sadder thing is that I don't think they'll get 6 wins out of the next 17 games.

The good ship Blackhawk has become the Titanic.

The Defense on this team is pathetic. I feel sorry for the goaltending on this team. No support what so ever. Seconday scoring? Hell there is no primary scoring.

Time for Bowman to go. Also time to say thanks for all you have done and ask 19, 2, 88, 7, 15, 20 and 50 for a list of teams they will accept a trade to. Tear it down and start from scratch. Let them play out their careers playing for a cup.

If Im a advertiser / sponser of this team I ask for a partial refund. Force management to make changes at the top of tge organization. I'm so glad I dont have season tickets !

At this point in our mediocrity why are we still dressing Kunitz who has contributed nothing and who should have retired 2 years ago? He has a NMC but sit him for 10+ games and he will be glad to go anywhere.
