Hope it’s benign.

4 & 44 already on for 2 goals against.

As were 90 and 88.

Can’t lay a terrible 5x5 showing on one or two players - the whole team couldn’t complete an outlet pass, couldn’t transition, couldn’t get any puck time in the ozone.

Night all, work in the morning. Long season, but damn, what a piss poor start. Won’t go nuts yet, but a little frustrated, not going to lie.

I have watched hockey for a lot of years and that was one of the most disorganised defensive efforts by a professional team ive ever seen. Jones looks awful.
- SaskHawkFan

I just watch their spacing in the defensive zone, it's terrible and if they are chasing the play, very hard to block a shot.

Jones randomly falls down way to much on the ice.

Oddly, Mitchell didn't look too bad out there. I've liked Stillman's game thus far as well.

Hope it’s benign.

It is. The Khaira-rhea on the other hand ...

Granted i get the Avs are a damn good team, but you have to play some sort of structure. chase and run does'nt work with this team.

It was almost the equivalent of a Bears offensive effort. Two periods to play and they looked better as the game wore on...low bar I know, but hey the dreaded 3 goal lead can evaporate no?
- HawkintheD

A 3-goal lead reduces the forecheck and opens up the center ice…

It’s all how Colliton drew it up.

Notice every time Colorado rushes, they chip it behind deHaan every time because of how slow he is.

Hard to complete a pass when your defensive system has you chasing the puck and more times than not you have 2 guys in the same area

I said it before and I’ll say it again, that line is going to get pinned in their own end for long periods. I’m not a fan of and all smurf line.

Hawks will be 3-6 at the end of October.

What the heck is going on with Kane? Struggling mightily.

So now it is the coach rather than the terrible players? I have whiplash!

It’s the coaching

Anyone got a running count of how many turnovers the Hawks have in their own end? Asking for a friend.

It’s JC’s system that the Hawks handle the puck like a grenade in their own zone.

Haha. Yea, it's like they dipped their hands in broken glass before the game.

Why the hell wasn't that a penalty WTF, Murphy gets hammered without the puck
