There goes the nice game by Raanta.

Make a save at a big moment. Can't let that one in.

Do either of our goalies understand the concept of getting out, getting big, cutting down the angle? He wasn't even at the top of the crease.

Should have had all three (especially one and three) - if not for the posts and lucky bounces when he didn't get back fast enough to cover the post, would have given up 8.
- StLBravesFan

Totally agree. Is it really impossible to just come up with a goalie win once? You have to know he's shooting from there, there can't be one inch of net to shoot out

The organization might have ruined that kid by keeping him here in Chicago.
- EKolb13

He has terrible positioning. His technique is awful. He is small and those thing are important. He doesn't cover the top of the net at all.

39 wins and 30 losses isn't fun. We may have got points in 15 of those losses but it's still disturbing. The only change that needs to be made is a stronger effort...NHL games are 60 minutes nothing less.

A backhanded saucer pass across the ice with 10 seconds left in o.t.
WTF?
- reeder16

That was mental , especially when he could of taken a shot on the forehand with 15 seconds left.... sucks. oh Well

lets hope the Blues are out on Rush St tonight as the Hawks wont be getting in til just after midnight...

Five third period shots.

No goals on a not very good goaltender in 56 minutes.

Raanta ok - but very, very lucky.
- StLBravesFan

it is the usual Q script - play for the lucky bounce and pray for the lucky buonce is not against. HArd to argue with Q's system - 2 cups

Versteeg better than Stalberg LOL. Raanta probably can't play anymore games, good luck Crow

I'd bet that the advanced metrics don't look very good for the Hawks tonight. They were outshot by 12 tonight. Blame Raanta all you'd like, but the whole team didn't play well tonight.

This.

But we've talked about this since Crawford campe back.

Nothing new with anything involving this game.

That's a nonsense statement
- dpard

He sucks

This team blows.

Thanks for crapping away a 2nd/4th on trash like Rundblad & Regin.
- JoeHawks88

How does Rundblad have any responsibility? He's played one game.

I think he will be good. He just needs to play more. It is a very tough spot for him. When he was playing when Crawford was hurt he was good. So now 14 out of 21 games giving up less than 3?
- tomcat24

No - he gave up 3.

[quote=rollpards19]

C'mon Pards, it isn't too reasonable to count on a goalie win from a backup who has played so rarely. Those are the games when the supposed best team in the league needs to play like it. They didn't, and that tendency is a problem.

As much as I'd like to see what TT can offer I don't see him playing with the big club this season. Rockford is the most likely and appropriate destination for Teuvo.

Was Versteeg playing net? A goal from the top of the circle? Please.
- Elbows15

Versteeg with the give away then was weakly hounding giroux into the hawk zone. but never really committed then gave up. Let giroux get the shot away clean as Keith was backing up. great d. Give kudos to giroux, strong on the puck with a good shot.

Make a save.
- StLBravesFan

That was my point Sage. Doesn't matter. They were losing in the shootout anyway. Raanta doesn't stop anyone.

I'd bet that the advanced metrics don't look very good for the Hawks tonight. They were outshot by 12 tonight. Blame Raanta all you'd like, but the whole team didn't play well tonight.
- mohel

Of course not - almost no pressure on a not very good goalie the last 56 minutes.

Did they make Emery go post to post at all tonite?

- mohel

Yeah, agreed. Outplayed all but the first couple of minutes. Flyers could have scored a bunch more. Multiple posts and plenty of missed WIDE OPEN nets. Raanta was just not very good tonight for a lot of the game, yes he made a few nice saves, but also got real lucky tonight also.

No, but just once it'd be nice to have a goalie make the big saves. It wasn't the teams best game, but can we get a shutout? At least a shootout there's a chance at 2 points.

Raanta can go away. He is terrible.
- Elbows15

Not too long ago Raanta was tagged as the goalie of the future and was pushing Crawford out the door. How things change quickly...

No way Raanta should have let that in.

Flyers hit 5 posts.... totally out played tonight . I m beginning to think its not just boredom on behalf of the Hawks, they are just not that deep.

I guess we'll see next month.
- mrpaulish

Suspect our lack of quality at center will be our undoing in the playoffs

Say whatever you want. That is a goal that can't go in.

true - only 23 shots and over 30 against.

Not from me DK. I don't like small goalies in today's NHL.

His presence was also the reason many here thought Crowford's deal was horrendous. How things change quickly.
