Keith and Seabrook have been (frank)ing awesome lately. They are playing with passion and leading by example and it's a pleasure to see.

Anyone who knows sports knows that winning hurts nothing. The idea that you turn off the switch to lose and think it will set you up better to eventually win are absolutely crazy.

The NHL today is the most competitive league ever. The margins from top to bottom are razor thin.

The tone around here is that if you were in an elevator and gave a wink and nod to a handful of players, they would all be like...yeah...we are trying to lose to get better. The best you get is laughed out of the elevator, in the old days you would be have your ass handed to you.

What some have not connected the dots on is why Q is gone and how it happened 2 years too late. You lost a handful of guys who would be great here now. The hawks are learning on the fly to play a style that allows them to compete in the league. Man to man fast paced hockey. See Paul's posts.

Instead of focusing on the prospects and potential picks and what any hockey greats sperm may one day become, embrace your team and the effort and energy you get with them every night.

Put to bed and keep to PM the lose on purpose BS...makes the board look more like a fantasy board.

Wrong dude. Nowhere did I suggest they TRY to lose. I simply stated...and correctly so IMO....that the lower we finish, the better player we will likely draft. Sure, nothing is guaranteed. But, we ain't making the playoffs anyway, so the higher the pick...the better.

Although, after a period and a half today it makes one wonder why the heck we as low as we are. They have played a very complete and "Team" game so far.....

He has been great. Tremendous hockey IQ.

I think he gets better every game.

Looks like Hayden is gunna have to throw his haymaker right hand today.

He's just so methodical in his movements. Analytical and always thinking about his next move. Its why his lack of high end speed is not an issue

Anisimov will be the next voted off of the island...

Just triggered as the young kids say.

When paired together, I completely agree.

Nope. Young kids don't say that, haha.

I think JC might have seen this $€!¥ show coming today. Prob better that joki not have to deal with Willy Wonka and ovi being themselves

Hawks to pp. Kempny in the box.

It's all good fella. It's tough times. Just hoping we can be back to Cup contenders a quickly as possible. Not stuck in gloomy times like I have lived through during the 1998-2008 dead zone, where we missed playoffs NINE times of TEN and out first round the one time.

Thankfully, toward the end....1st overall and 3rd overall picks Kane and Toews began us on our "Glory Days" march for the next ten years.

Don't want to endure that 10 year span from 1998-2008 ever again.....I am too old for that!!!

Delia doing all he can from letting Wilson find the back of the net.

Orlov made it 4-2.

That was quite the 2nd save in that sequence just before the goal

It's so odd that Delia is either an absolute legend or a softy today. What a crazy sequence prior to that goal

The highlight reel saves don’t matter if you don’t stop the ones you should

Can’t make enuf great saves to make up for two awful soft give-ups.

Listen smart ass, there's always a straggler who doesn't see the game or misses something. I provide the evidence if people want to go back and talk about it. It generates discussion if I miss something or get a name wrong. The post got 5 people talking.

Apparently you can as long as the Hawks are in the lead

But, seriously, I think we're lately seeing the result of teams being able to scout him and find the weaknesses.

It made me think of the Marty Brodeur commercial.

It absolutely generates discussion. Ignore anyone who wants to complain or make a thing of it. Let em get worked up over nothing
