Juicy rebound and slid out of the paint. Goal for Devon Toews

Well, we got 1 point in a game we shouldn't have any.

Losing race for Hughes to Blues, Avs via Ottawa pick or Kings (ahhh), not good from this angle.

Not the game I wanted, not the ending I wanted. I'm calling it a night. Have a good rest of your night guys.

No, not true, take a look at how many games those teams have in hand. Hawks have a legit claim at being the worst team right now. Question is, when will brass actually admit this season is over?

J.T. has a brother who plays hockey, but he was never really a prospect.

That's pretty horrible, but he did "fix" the Manning move, and Strome/Perlini for Schmaltz is at least a draw and the Hawks gain more cost certainly, so edge to Bowman on that one, though slight. FAR from me to defend Bowman, but lets see how he handles the rest of this season.

As far as trading off assets to get rid of contracts, that's part of Stan's MO, almost as prevalent as giving out NTCs.

My guess would be the trade deadline when they move AA and Keith. My prediction anyway...

You have ZERO proof of any of this crap. ZERO proof. Quit spouting off stuff that is simply not factual.

Now that we have your stock "it's all Qs fault" meme, maybe Q is the reason Bowman got Johnny Oduya and Antoine Vermette? Two of Stan's prime moves that helped the team win.

You probably wouldn't sign up for that as it would not fit your narrative,

4+8=12 in 30 games - 0+3=3 in his last 15....

Hawks have too many players with those kinds of numbers. Just another guy.

He was injured in early December....

Tough loss for Delia ,who should also have started the WC . That idiotic money grab hockey game for the NHL really broke up a nice run by the HAWKS .I swear with all the off ice crap going on around that game broke up some nice rhythm the HAWKS were getting into . Still got a point on the road against a team playing very well of late . NYI have some great talent young players ,and are buying into Trotz game plan .They could shock some come playoff time , if their goaltending get resolved, like it appears to be doing .Time to lay a beat down on Pitt ,I will lose it if Delia is not playing .. GO HAWKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice Straw man...all Q's fault. Clearly those were Q preferred guys. Go ahead and live in denial, but since he is gone, so are they. Coincidence? Not enough proof.

How bout the Hawks being forced to trade Dayley and Kempny...for nothing, because Q would not play them. Where is the "can't win cups with those guys" meme?

I said it the other day, and this is no defense or endorsement of SB, but do you really believe Hawk ownership and senior managment would have kept SB and fired Q, with all the facts we do not know in front of them, if SB was the problem?

If that is not enough evidence...then I do not know what to say. The logic is right there and not hard to grasp.

Said it the other day, Delia plays a lot like Jonathon quick.

Extremely athletic and quick.

You have zero proof that any of this is false also ,so why don't you stop spouting off about stuff you don't know ..
.Stan did mention they were Q guy's so their is that also . And Vermette ?? the one who had to be allowed out of the press box were Q had him playing during the playoffs ,Ya Q really seemed on board with that move .

whats the difference between the hawks once again getting blown out about 5 or 6 to 1..and actually having a chance for 2 pts?

the young mr delia...

out shot over 2-1 and allowing over 50 shots and getting out chanced almost 3-1

your prototypical blackhawk effort this year...

there is similarity but quick is more unorthodox and plays very low to the ice...

That is the modern NHL. If you do not have speed, you have no chance. Trotz has figured that out.

Barzal is sick, almost makes Kane look pedestrian....

Vinny on a very bad team ,and battling some nagging injuries this year .He is a good extremely fast player who speed and hockey IQ could have been very useful around here . Hartman another player that I believe would have been better served if not stunted by Q Neanderthal coaching techniques .Although Stan did a great job getting a 1st and prospect for Hartman ..

Team is finding it way ,it may be to late this year as the coaching change should have been made in the off season or earlier .

Surprised the Hawks got a point tonight, i just can't keep watching when the refs tilt the ice.

And Delia didn't start the winter classic? Sustainable probably not but kids got skills and he might be special

Now we just need to develop the dmen
