Just call this game. I can't stomach this. Unbelievable destruction. Hawks are completely outclassed in every facet. This may be one of the most ridiculous beatdoewns I've seen in years. Somehow it's only 2-0. I bet we could get a lot of Rob at the TDL. He's really good.

WTF...the preds are just toying and skating circles around the hawks...

lehner just amazing tonight...he has no help

This is a savage beating. RL is keeping it from being 6-0, and Toews is not the reason for that. It's a total team situation.

This is the first truly excellent team they've played and it's beyond ugly. Not even remotely competitive. Perhaps I misjudged this talent. Or coaching, or something, but holy poop this is atrocious.

I just don't think they are in hockey shape yet, well in shape to play the 200 feet of hockey where they will compete against a team like this

There is a predator in the hip pocket of every blackhawk

They are not "in shape"? That's the thing? LOL. What I am seeing is a vastly superior team against a vastly inferior team. This is an absolute poopshow. Hawks have had a pretty easy schedule so far, this was the first seriously great team they played and it's embarrassing.

So, can we conclude the Blackhawks are better than the Kings but not as good as the Predators?

Looking forward to those 20 game evaluations!

Keith with a subtle shot during a between periods interview saying the Preds are effective using right/left shot d-pairings. DeHahn is a lefty playing on his off-side with Keith. That's while Keith's buddy Seabrook, who is right-handed sits.

that's a problem...murphy and seab both RH are out...

all lefty dmen out there tonight...

I noticed that comment as well, very interesting.....

Yeah well too bad Seabrook can’t play anymore, so what’s the point of putting him out there? Just because he’s a righty? Give me a break.

must wait to the aves play these guys...

Why is this a shock to Hawk fans?
Hawks are a bottom 5 league team with a great goalie
Reality check everyone

Hawks continue to outhit this opponent. They'll grind them down in the third.

As we've seen so far this young season, the last two years were no fluke... No difference making talent on this team anymore.

Effort is there- talent is not

This season is on Bowman

I can understand the comment on Gus, Seabrook, ... but what other players would fall under not talented?

After watching that 40 minutes, no argument.

Lehner deserves 2 of the 3 stars of the game. In other news, can Seabs come out & play?

I think that's why they've had trouble scoring since JC ripped them and had them skate,

The Hawks every period in this game are looking slower and slower, Preds looking faster and faster, to me that says they aren't in the same shape as the Preds.

Varsity vs JV tonight. Dach might be watching 19 too much bc he’s not moving his feet tonight either. Toews looks like he’s skating with weights in his boots.

33 funkn scoring chances in 2 periods...rinne probably worked harder during the pregame warm-up

There is also the slim possibility that Nashville is just way better.

This game is egregious.

he is getting beat all over the ice...and dach has deer headlights tonight

Remember when the Hawks were the fastest team in the league?

They look like molasses in January compared to the rest of the league.

Also take Kane off of the PP.

Dach has nothing for this team. He's a solid prospect, far from any type of generational talent. Hawks should send him back to Junior, get a top pick an rebuild. This game is beyond comprehension.

The way this team is playing it's not fun watching them anymore.
