There are few things i find more aggravating than Keith shooting the puck, especially on the PP from the blue line. Maddening.

He insists on that long, slow, deliberate wind up and slapshot that allows the defenders to get into the shooting lane. He seldom uses a snap or wrist shot to get the puck quickly to the net as soon as he gets it.

i won't miss watching the hawk goalies get getting throttled and having to do headstands for them to have a chance...its getting very old...

preds have turned it up and the hawks have no answer...

good teams figure out how to weather the storm and get things turned around; hawks have been really poor in that area...

Forsberg, 2-2. It was only a matter of time. Not a good period.

The hawks can't get the puck, it's their weakness all season poor defensemen and poor team defense

Hawks point coverage been trasssssssssssh since '14 WCF or prior.

Handzus was a whipping boy for some but he laid out time and again to block shots.

Haven't seen a Hawk sacrifice the body since Hammer left.

Soft team under soft management. 4th straight (2 first round exits/2 complete misses) early tee times for this 'dynasty'.

Paul, just stop replying to my posts. 3 trips by Nash not getting called, I call that fixed. Yes, refs have bad days, but man when you make it this obvious you have to call it out.

From what I've seen of Ward this year, Hawks might be smart to bring him back for another year.

Easy to take liberties when the league has your back. Preds know they will get all the calls, so they can trip and interfere without the fear of getting called.

Nahshville fans are idiots.

Yeah they are...the booed the ref for calling offside when it was offside by 10 ft . Plus the stupid chant. Know nothing fans. No class.

Panthers tied the game with 2 minutes left (we might not actually pass them).

Philly lost tonight.

Best draft position for the Hawks is now 11, if we lose and if the Wild win..

The Hawks haven't been blitzed this badly in a while. Can't handle the Nashville forecheck and gagging up the puck all game long so far. If not for Ward this would easily by 5-2. I really don't care if they win the game but I didn't want to see this kind of piss-poor performance in the final game of the season. Grow a pair boys and up the compete level several notches ... would ya?

No one is fixing anything. Bettman and the NHL do not hate the Blackhawks. There is no conspiracy. At the end of the season all teams have a similar number of missed penalties against and for. If you don't want to be negatively replied to , don't post silly stuff.[/img]

Whoops. I'll change that. That's a typo.

Best position for the Hawks is still 11 though.

I say heck with it, the Hawks should just pull down their pants and slide on the ice in the third (with a nod to Dr. Sidney Freedman).

Very few Hawk players can win a puck battle. If they can't defend they can't stop the pressure.

Where are all the stars paid half of total team salary, 19,88,2,7 and 20? They did not look impressive or noticeable except for Toews penalty of course.

The Preds are outplaying the Hawks. The refs have nothing to do with that. In fact I'm surprised the Hawks haven't been whistled for more penalties which is usually what happens when they get running around in the d-zone the way Nashville is dominating them tonight.

It's all the puck mismanagement. Keith was guilty of at least 4 turnovers and Adb about 2 in our own zone. Rinne is weak, just stay on him.
