Hawks should consider themselves very lucky to get out of that period 1-1. Not a good showing so far.

Good showing by Lou, he's been our best player!

Hawks look dreadful. PK getting exposed. Way, way too passive just as it was last year. This team sorely misses Keith.

Worst effort of the year so far. Seabrook should sit for the 3rd.

Seabs has had his head up his ass a lot this year.

Just a completely gutless effort to this point. So dissapointing, probably will ruin the rest of the week after watching this.

The PK has suddenly devolved into exactly what it was last year. Extremely passive. The aggressiveness of the PK earlier in the season is what got us a few shorties but they've abandoned it. This team is really bad on D without #2.

pretty intense game tonight, good to see the canucks were able to shut down chicago without burrows and salo.
should make for a good game in vancouver next week......

Hawks haven't been playing very good for a while. Eddie touched on it toward the end of the game and I was glad he brought it up. It's good that they've been getting some wins, but their play has been anything but inspiring.

The team is still lacking a top-6 forward. Sharp - Kane - Hossa has been a good line but that leaves Toews carrying around a lot of dead weight. Now that Kane has started to suck at faceoffs, it gets hard to take Sharp off that line otherwise that line runs the risk of being completely victimized at the dot.

Hope Keith is back on Tuesday, otherwise it looks to be a long night against a team playing under a new coach.

This team needed a wake-up call despite their record so hopefully tonight was a blessing in disguise.

Unfortunately, it's going to look a lot like this if the Hawks continue to field the same lineup, playing without any edge or back-bone at all. When Kane was crushed by Kesler early on, what was done about it? Nothing at all. I thought we picked up guys like Carcillo and Mayers to prevent opposing players from taking a run at 88 and 19.

All signs point to mediocre play continuing. Looks like Stalberg's little blip of success was another little flash in the pan. Pretty unfortunate that the best player on the team is stuck playing with 2 bottom-6 forwards. It's a damn shame that the hard work Toews puts in every game is being used dragging around Brunette and compensating for Stalberg's lack of any awareness at all. Time to bring up Smith or Morin because this team badly needs some top-6 help.

They get a slight pass because Keith was not in the lineup. But that doesn't really excuse the play of Seabrook and Hjalmarsson. They both looked slow, unwilling to throw any body checks, and were getting burned by the Sedins' skating all night long.

Can't say that game surprised me all that much because you could see it coming from the drop of the puck. Glad I'm not drinking the kool-aid like bonzo and lockman. But I do hope their optimism is warranted. The big question is how the team responds as a group. Unfortunately, I think the players are much more likely to bounce back than the coaching staff, which has run the PK and PP into the ground.

Tim "Glass" Connolly hurt out for 10-14 days. Not a good pick-up by the Leafs. Believed he got hurt on the PK in the first. He should not be on the PK, as good as he is on it, he is such a little girl when it comes to resilience

all we need was one game like this, and all of a sudden you are 100% right :rolleyes

solid blog put it perfectly: "I couldn't help but recall last November. Then, the defending Conference (and Cup) champ was inconsistent, a bit injured, and having a hard time being motivated for every game. They struggled out of the gate. They had just been embarrassed on the road. They showed up at the arena of their biggest rival with their fans salivating at the thought of stamping a new order on the league. And the home team got gorilla stinkfisted. You remember, right? Was it the Hawks 7 - Canucks 2 that night? Felt the same, just on the other side of the looking glass."

NOT saying the Hawks are excused for last night, because it was embarassing. I'm saying, calm the fuck down. It's November, and there is no team in the West that has been consistently as good as the Hawks aside from Edmonton and Dallas.

Edmonton and Dallas....that's the joke.

That's a great point. I'm trying not to over-react and I don't think the team is going to fall apart because of this. Just saying that they do need some work and Stan could definitely pick up another player. This team has a dearth of very solid prospects and there will be a logjam on the NHL club in a few years, so might as well spin off 1 of them for a legit top-6 guy. Or, try out Morin if he's healthy and send down Olesz.

Apparently Keith will be back tomorrow night, though, so that's great news, and the top-2 D pairings in practice were 2-7 & 4-8 so that sounds good.

a) I was busy being told that Boston wasn't having a hangover, but now apparently they are over the hangover they never had.

b) If I had a dime for every time I thought the Hawks were over the hangover, I would be rich. Not saying that the Bruins' hangover will be as long, it won't, but it ain't over
