Yes, I see now that Q was the problem
One of the many problems is that you have Gus, who should be playing somewhere in Europe, and not the NHL, continues to make weak, chicken sh*t back hand turnovers leading directly to scoring chances, and then gets out battled 1 on 1 for the puck on the 3rd goal.

And Gus is playing on the 2nd f*cking pairing!

Would love to see a homemade sign on the glass. "We are NOT a playoff team. #Q"

That was embarrassing!!!

well if any of you were expecting mental, physical and emotional turn around for this team....ummmh that would be an emphatic NO...

I wonder if McD and/or bowman would fire themselves...what a miserable 1st period that was...

I still don't like that this team doesn't put a body on the opposition, even when there is an opportunity to do so. That is on the coaching style. Is that Scotty?
Teams have no fear playing against the Blackhawks.

It was pretty obvious last year he can't play in this league but they re-signed him. Stan saw him as another David Rundblad rehab job

Still won't protect the house, all they do is chase the puck, many of these players have very low hockey iq

Whatta ya mean....according to Blowman and McEgo they're a playoff team...…...in another universe maybe

Defense is a disaster - but Crawford has allowed 6-4-4-now 3 in the first.

Not his fault? Ok - but at least 17 GA in 4 games and a save percentage well under .900.

Goalie doesn't have a chance of the dman doesn't cover the backside, powerplay was weak defense by Keith 4 attempts from within 1 foot

did he have a chance on any of those

1. first goal he makes the save and the cane made a great play
2. pp with williams hacking/wacking with not a concern in the world
3. 3 on 1 20 feet out after another give away..

for gawd sakes he's not a miracle worker

17 GA in 3 1/3 games.

He bears his share of the responsibility.

Why is Saad wearing the face shield?
Did I miss an injury??

Then if they believe that especially McEgo, Bowman will be gone by the end of the year

Took a puck to the face at practice.

Keith has got to tie Williams up on that PP, but no stick check Keith strikes again

Same ol Same ol.....
Soft as Charmin.
That's his game.

i would agree his positioning has been off and has loss his net...but i think he is trying to overcompensate for the poop D in front of him and guessing to much..

Anybody that thought they would wipe the Q stink off in one game was mistaken . It will take a week or two for the changes to come into effect .

I'm going to guess that Pat and Eddie were pissed to see Q get launched and are going to remove the filters from here on out and call this steaming pile of hot garbage what it is.

Agreed.....Foley just waiting for the right time to unload on Schmaltz.

De Haan, come on JL, say how you wanted him, haha.
4-0. Mercy rule?

That'll tell you everything you need to know about the hockey intelligence of our management.

Good thing Quenneville is gone, that guy was the real problem!

All that's left is a mustache of memories.

Ahahahaha!! You forget it's the same terrible roster.

Like i said this team is great at being in no man's land watching 1 guy play defense with absolutely no defensive awareness

So if the ghost of Blackhawks Future visited you on the night the Hawks won their last Cup in ‘15 - and showed you a vision of November ‘18 - with Q fired, crap roster and a very real chance of missing the playoffs for a second year in a row - you’d never believe it. But yet here we are...

Burr was pissed, he said after that period, it's evident Q wasn't the problem.
