Another bad start. Turnovers every where. A goal. 2 breakaways. And now a penalty.
I haven't seen ONE tape to tape pass yet.

Yech.

Ah Good thing we got Panik in there

Bad turnover but crow kind of needs to save that wrister from the blue line... capt looking like crap again. He can’t even stick handle.

Good penalty by him too....

2-0.

Hawks on Christmas vacation.

Game over.

Only the fourth line and 88 with any give a crap tonight.....

Sadly Sharp looks like the best player on line 1.... wth has happened to Saad?

What's the Hawks record vs teams in the top 8 of the conference this year? I'm guessing it's pretty atrocious. Lazy stick infraction penalty on 19 and it's 2-0 seconds later. Devils skating the Hawks out of the building so far.

88 had a pretty crap start to the game so far, holding onto the puck too long and the Devils get it back. Panik brutal too. The only player that looked engaged in the game to me is Keith,

He's preparing his statement for the postgame about how the Hawks were not prepared for this game.

The holiday trend continues.

This is a poor excuse of a start.

14 minutes of garbage hockey so far.

Embarrassing

The third goal not on CC

3 guys standing around watching. Oesterle was a statue.

Wingels blew it on that one.

Nice effort Keith. Bowman needs to sell assets for futures bc 19 and 2 don't give a (frank) anymore. Just out there collecting a paycheck and going through the motions.

When does 19 take a seat for a game?

Highlighting the fact that they need another C.

Wingels has been solid this year but you can tell on plays like that... he aint a centreman.

Keith did his job, but he can't cover everyone. Oesterle just stood there and Wingels did an awful job of covering his man.

Tuned in late...

...turned off immediately.

Winnipeg was a fluke.

One point trip if the Hawks get lucky.

Yeah, the lack of experienced NHL C could end up being the downfall of the team this year.

How about Keith taking neither man nor puck at the top of the circle, then coasting back to the slot to watch an uncovered devil put it into an empty net?? Toews are Keith are half of what they were (or maybe they're only trying half as hard? Saving it for the playoffs is the excuse, right?). Whatever the reason, 2+19 not playing at an Elite level means that this team is no longer Elite, either.

Somebody count the Devil sweaters out there. It seems like New Jersey has 9 guys on the ice.

Damn they're quick.

I disagree. He didn't take his man or the puck at the top of the circle and then lolligagged back to the slot where an uncovered Devil scored into an empty net.

Patrick Kane is pretty much the only guy worth watching on this team. 88 still trying to make plays and go hard.

He kept his man to the outside, which was his job on that play.

Cant sell jerseys if #19 is in the press box....right McDonough?

Not sure how bad it has to get before he gets taken off the 1st line and PP....and its been pretty bad for a long time.

I have to agree with Enzo that the so called core are just mailing it in way too often.

Totally unacceptable performance.
