Hawks are the poster child of ROPE A DOPE. They start to suck you think lets tank, then they win a few and its lets go playoffing, then its back to suck, wash, rinse and repeat.

I keep trying to tell people there are still too many teams to climb. They need to get over a couple of teams before its a real playoff chase.

He will blame everyone else before he mentions himself.

you are right on que...

Crow should have started this game. He would have been pumped to face Q.

I am NOT blaming this loss on RL, but he sure does seem to have a bit of a narcissistic streak in that nothing is ever his fault.

Lehner really (frank)ed us tonight

This was a big game and he absolutely choked

He’s been great this year but maybe he shouldn’t run his mouth as much if he’s gonna do poop like this. I hope he calls himself out after the game and takes blame for the loss.

I’m disgusted.

Don’t count on him taking blame, he never does.

Had they won tonight they are ONE game out the playoffs. Not sure how that's so insurmountable.

you are right on que...

Not my problem you think he is elite.

Dach!!!!!!

Because of the 3 point games and the number of teams in front of them that play each other.

Edit. Some of the teams have games in hand, too.

Yup

and these were 2 HUGE points that he screwed us out of
- SimpleJack

This is this team's MO, they can't focus on the game, they are looking past it and their plans. Do this every year. That's why i won't go to a game before a long break or the 1st one back

Nice goal by Dach

KD!

Pull Lehner !!!
- oldduffman

First 2 goals really weak. #3. Ehhh.
Wasn't Lehner in the net for the 7 - 1 fiasco against the Devil's in December also ?????

3 point games when you are ONE out with 30 games to go? Nah. They have a real chance, or had.

True. Keep them playing on the road for the rest of the season. Aways one step forward and three steps back for this team.

Not my problem you think he is elite.
- Elbows15

well you have been pretty quiet for his last 10 games...

did i ever say that...

UC bumper music is now auto=tuned bullpoop. Lets get back to the ROCK!

1st one was seeing eye off rebound
2nd one didn't look like Lehner ever saw it, Cat didn't help by turning the puck over

well suddenly the "embrace the tank" winsock has been hoisted...

How many teams are front of them? 5-6? Until there is less than 3, they odds are stacked against them.

I’m at the UC tonight. Without looking it up, CHI has a large advantage in scoring chances. Bob has been very good, and Lard Ass gave up the 3 softest goals of the season. Can’t fault the D in any of them.

Oh yeah, and this isn't the game they really have to win, would be nice, it's win the games outright vs the teams they directly competing with for the last Wild card spot, long way to go

well you have been pretty quiet for his last 10 games...

- bogiedoc

Not really. I have consistently said to trade his fat ass. And you have called him elite multiple times.

The standings they showed had them last one out had they won tonight. Who are these 5 and 6 teams?
