Kane wasn’t in the play at all.
- StLBravesFan

Lol watched the replay. I was wrong wasn’t 3 on 2 but nonetheless pathetic all around. Saad was back but he and Gus both took the puck carrier.

Kane just sagged down low. 3 on 3 coverage looks as bad as 5 on 5. Wheeler left wide open to put a pass right in Schieffles wheel house.

The retooled lines worked well.... starting to think JC doesn’t have a clue and I was on his bandwagon last year.

6-4 last year
0-2-1 honestly they look better this year especially tonight with Dehaan only 2 goals given up in regulation

Keith and Murphy pairing works
6 and 7 solid

JC will have to learn to hide 56

We'll see but if they can keep teams to 2-3 goals per game in regulation instead of 3-4 this team will end up with a better record than last year's team

They keep saying they have to play 60 minutes instead of just 20 minutes

So is this team out of shape

Or are they lazy
- BetweenTheDots

Both !

I do have to give credit to Murphy he had a nice game today he definitely plays with effort and toughness, he doesn't think the game well or passes to guys who really aren't open but I appreciate the hustle, toughness and sacrifice.
- BetweenTheDots

i thought over all the blueline was played better...goona take a few games for dahaan to get his legs and mind in game shape..

matta was solid...keith was better...

hell the jets looked like poop the first half of the game...hawks could not get goal 3..

Me either!!!!
Roenick & vaive will turn this team around!!!!!
- dpard

Mike Keenan !

is that right...the hawks had only 7...didn't think it was that bad..
- bogiedoc

That's what they said on the postgame, Hawks had 5 quality chances

They keep saying they have to play 60 minutes instead of just 20 minutes

So is this team out of shape

- BetweenTheDots

that's been their chicken poop mantra for the last 3 years...

hawks used to be good enough to play a 20 or 30 minute game...not even close now

Both !
- GlennL

Hahaha, lot of watching going on

They said Dach played tonight -1, 16 minutes? I think that's what they said

Missed the point, eh?
- mohel

No. I understand that you’re using a juxtaposition of the 2 teams current records to show that even a HOF, SC winning, #2 winningest coach can have a period of marginal results.

3 games played our golden boys having problems:

toews = 0 pts
kane = 1G and 3A = 4pts
adb = 1G and 1A = 2 pts

2 goals and 4 assists from these 3 and they really have not looked good at all

Capt is MIA. On defense and offense.

Saad, Shaw, Caggiula, Kubalik, Carpenter - those are the forwards who have played well thru 3 games, IMO. Kampf has been ok slotted above his best level.

The rest - your three, Strome, Nylander/Perlini, Smith - not good enough at all.

That was tough .Kane was lousy all night . Better get Kane back with Toews and Caggiula ,and DBC back with Strome and Perlini . Shaw to the 4th line it a good fit for him . Lehner was very good tonight .PK was good PP was terrible . All and all tough loss . GO HAWKS !!!!

frankly i don't think the line combos make one psss of diffference...

where ARob to cheer us up...

its clear to me that nylander and perlini are passengers...nothing has changed with those 2...

smith...hardly notice him and this guy scored 25 goals 4 years ago...he is done
3.25 mil per for this year and next; he may be gone by feb/mar...

Is Bob Pulford still in his Chicago office ! Atleast you would know there was a coach behind the bench with his bright white hair.

Lehner's comments today were more critical of the Hawks than any goal tender I can recall and he hasn't played a game yet. Can't wait for this share the net soap opera to play out.

This tweet was before the game. Any of you know what Lehner said? I can't find anything.

let toews dejavu speculation begin

is he hurt?
is he done?
is it his diet?
is it his girlfriend?
is he bored?
he hates kane?

let toews dejavu speculation begin

- bogiedoc

(frank) all of that.

Just play.

No way to prove it, it's just a guess. But, I truly am beginning to wonder if there's trouble in paradise. Maybe certain core players have drawn a line in the sand. If true, they need to leave. Again, just some thoughts after witnessing game number three.

buh bye JC...buh bye SB...buh bye JM (wishful thinking)..welcome any available hard ass..

Thinks the NHLPA should have gone on strike? Did not appreciate his lukewarm endorsement of playing overseas. Think it to yourself, and don't mention the trip will be tiring. He's human though, like the rest of us.

We’re paying for those three championships, plain and simple.

He's right, that trip was an absolute joke, they go all that way for one game, why? Now they'll have to double up on games to catch up, btw, that OT goal was totally on Lehner, no one else, weak, weak glove side goal.

Or, otherwise said, there may be some trouble inside the locker room. NOT saying that's the case, but makes me wonder about the possibility for the first time in a long time.
