Nice to see Foligono in the bottom 6, where he belongs.

Nice to see Burns still not playing any D. Nice pass by Hall but that should never get through.

I will miss Donato when he is traded.

This team really needs to figure out how to play a second period. What the hell is their problem. They go back to passive and hope passes.

Long change? It's a team full of lazy vets just looking for paychecks, you know?

If you look at the Blackhawks aka "Hocks" website "Hockey Operations" is listed below the General Manager.

Well we should of had a 5 on 3 when Aho slashed Bedard, but you know that's how it goes

I’ll say this and I don’t blame the kid with the garbage he’s dragged around on his line but Bedard seems to have a lot more to his game including some hustle now that he has Nazar to skate with.

Kid was def in a funk and/or kinda half a***ng it the first part of the season. Why losing so much can be a bad thing.

Much more engaged
All over the ice
I think the coaching change did him good
And if they can find a good coach next offseason it should do wonders for 98's production!

Dollars to donuts KD is keeping Sorenson as coach.

If you haven’t listened to Davidson’s interview on the 32 thoughts podcast, the way Davidson talked about Sorensen, that is how I read the tea leaves.

What’s the expected return?

Donato says he wants security with his next contract, I don’t think he will sign an extension by the TDL, so might as well get that third round draft choices. Think KD would offer him 3 x $2:5 ?

He’ll keep him in the organization, but I really don’t think he stays as the Hawks HC.

Do you see Donato here long term? I don’t. Apparently KD has been personally scouting Colorado. I wonder what he’s looking for and looking to move? I’d love to see him pick up Cal Ritchie.

Bedard with some dog poop decisions in this game.

I don’t want KD to sign anymore Smith’s or Maroon’s, let the young guys take their place, however I would sign Donato for that. The kid brings it every night, can do a lot worse for a 4th line center.

How about that last shift by 4, hahaha, damn he sucks

So does the GM for not expunging him from the team. He got rid of everyone else.

This team sucks because most of them defer. So many opportunities to put pucks on net and they always try to pass first.

What happened to the good hockey they were playing?

I said I would miss him, didn’t say KD should sign him. Figure if Brandon Taney got 6 x $3.5, Donato would ask for 3 years. Some team will probably give it to him.

The Dad,s trip is over.

Outshot 48-25, the more talented team and better coach won the game. The Hawks play good first periods, then the other team adapts, and the Hawks just can’t match the other team’s talent.

Firing the GM before many of his draft picks turn pro is a good way to end up in a perpetual rebuild.

KD has at least two years before his seat gets warm.
- Elbows15

Ummmm, you would be incorrect in that assumption.

Just ask Doug Collins about whose name is on the six trophies the Bulls won with Michael Jordan.....

KFC is not on the hot seat for his draft picks, but for his Sega '94 NHL view of assembling a pro roster. He spent a lot of money this offseason, and the results have been worse than last year's team.

He is no longer the shiny new penny in the room.

And that's the kind of thing that gets a G.M. fired.......

Ok - so maybe I should have started dumping on Kurashev at the start of the season - he might have been on a pace of 160 points if it weren't for my non-expression of an overly negative attitude.
