Although no goals, he’s been the best Hawk tonight, followed by Hagel. Stillman had one bad play, but otherwise he’s been decent.
- Angotti

Agreed. Dach is working hard - he’ll start burying those chances.

Love the Donut Don comment. I was just explaining that story arch from the 80s to my wife. More entertaining than this game for sure. Was it Jim Schoenfeld?
- Brownie's_Purse

Yes Schoenfeld.

DeHaan is just horrid. Why he’s on the ice 4 on 4 is puzzling. Stood at the dot afraid to handle the puck. Had 2 chances to shoot and has brutal turnover and kills play.

Play a kid over Dehaan.

No argument there...just needs some coaching on those breakaways and shooting in motion.

And even tho I tend to roll my eyes at Corsi, our new "#1 D man" is at 21.9%

The good news is he gets them. Needs to start converting.

Can we trade TNT JC for Rick Tochett?

Not saying he’s a bust. He can get chances. Finishing them has been another story. So is it confidence or a lack of finishing talent? That’s usually the dividing line between the top 6 and top 9 guys. Ability to score consistently.

And people thought Johnson would play wing…..
- SteveRain

He isn't doing too well as a center tonight. He has been in the middle of 3 Av goals.

He is not alone but he has been dogpoop tonight.

Hmmm, when Gretzky played here in LA, he had blonde hair, looks like he used that bald spot filler that Ron Popeil used to sell at 1 AM

Jones has company in the Corsi crap (5X5) - Hawks are at 36.92%.

SOG = 11-21 (altho 7-5 in the 2nd period)
SC = 7-15
HDSC = 0-8

Kane with 3 SATs, AdB has 3, Toews has 1. Five Hawks have -0- SATs.

It’s been a team effort.

The team misses Strome!

Not many are having a good night. 4 veteran d men are all -2. Murphy trying to run a guy in 1st caught way out of position. Goal.

Debrincat floating on back check coverage. Goal.

2 other bang in goals due to bad transition.

How many texts does fleury have waiting for him from lehner about all the grade A wide open chances this “system” routinely spits out? Hawks gap control is awful.

And this is without McKinnon. Only cement weighing down avs will be kuemper. He’s not the answer.

The good news is he gets them. Needs to start converting.
- SteveRain

His wrist did look like it was run over by a truck last year so perhaps he lost some feel and coordination. But if so he better learn how to deke asap.

No way that is accurate. How the hell is a breakaway not a HDSC. Dach has 2

yeaaaaah

@EvolvingWild
Six Blackhawks players have single-digit xGF% values through two periods. Impressive stuff.

- LAHawk

Ahhh, the late, great Ron Popeil.

He use to work a pitch for that stuff even in commercials for some other bizarre product he was shilling.

The team misses Strome!
- powerenforcer

Strome and Gus in the line up - it’s a completely different game.

They also made a Vegas joke….wasn’t it Gretzky and tocchet woves busted for a gambling ring?

No way that is accurate. How the hell is a breakaway not a HDSC. Dach has 2
- Elbows15

And a wide open slot shot in period 1.

- Elbows15

The numbers I used are 5x5 - Dach’s breakaway was short handed, wasn’t it? On the PK, NaturalStatrick shows them with 1 HDSC.

Altho I have no idea what the definition of a HDSC is.

When Lou Henson was bball coach at U of I, we used to call that a Lou do.

Johnson and McCabe were doing the foxtrot and were behind Murphy. Sorry, its too east to say its Murphy's fault when he saw he had help behind him and they collide after Murph slowed down the transition.

Can we pool money together and hire dach a finishing coach? 3 grade A chances this game and kid airmailed net from the slot and stoned 2x on breakaways.

Why did they get Tyler Johnson? Oh…..
- SteveRain

Dach’s weakness coming out of junior was, lacks finish.

Was thinking the same. Kuemper wasn’t buying on his move.

At least he’s noticeable. That much is encouraging. Many others are MIA
