Southwest Sider Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Anyone think the Hawks might surprise some people this year? I'm not convinced or anything but I think they could have a pretty good year. Itd be nice if they turned into a Cup contender again. Hard to believe theres been 2 whole disappointing seasons since that letdown sweep by Nashville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Maatta was by far our best defensemen in this game. I mean that's cool but that's not good at the same time. Keith looked like he was 46 in that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoYoIsMyHero Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Come back stateside, get de Haan and Murphy in the lineup, and tighten up the goal tending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 It's one game overseas, but they looked like a bottom 5 team in the league today. Not enough of a sample size to draw any sort of conclusions, but I'm starting to question Colliton's system. Not ready to jump ship on JC yet but talk to me at Thanksgiving and again at Xmas.

TheTruth05 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 1st game of the season, I'm gonna give them time before I worry. Their defense and PK looked like the same old story though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the core guys (and I'll add DeBrincat and Strome to that group too at this point) that have been shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are as bad as they look, I don’t see how Stan sticks around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But De Haan, Maatta, Carpenter, Shaw, etc. have been fine. Toews, Kane, Keith, Seabrook, Crawford, Strome, DeBrincat have been ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) 33 minutes ago, Tony said: Given that three games in, Nylander is a healthy scratch, it could be a huge miss. Super early right now. The big guys should be fine, I’m sure it will balance out, but I just don’t know if this is a good roster in today’s NHL. Time will tell. Nylander was the most noticeable player in the first 2 games on that line. Toews and Kane are playing like ass. Every time Nylander had the puck in the opposing zone things were happening. Nylander wasn't the problem, 19 and 88 were. Nylander has some work to do in his own end but the talent is obvious. The only way that trade isn't going to be a win-win is if the Hawks sabotage Nylander by sitting him in the press box after 2 games in which he played well. The core forwards are all bigger problems than Nylander. Edited October 13, 2019 by Jack Parkman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Nylander wouldn't have been the guy I targeted in a Jokiharju trade, but he's still a good player. Is he rough in his own end right now? Yeah. But the offensive talent is ridiculous. If they could turn back the clock I would have seen if Alex Tuch was available because he would have fit the team perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defensive play was outstanding (kept McDavid scoreless which is hard to do), Crow was good and that 3rd line continues to play well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Ok Hawks can salvage this opening season home stand with 2 more victories against some tough opponents. Looks like Keith pairing with Murphy is the shut down defensive pair for now. Not sure the Hawks can play good offense and good defense at the same time. Seems like it's either one or the other for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if the Hawks continued to play Zone on D vs. the Man to Man version they're doing now, things would be fine. The fact that Bowman thought that this would be a good idea is baffling.

This was actually one of the better Hawk efforts this year especially the play of the 3rd and 4th lines. The problem is the power play went 0-5 and gave up a shorty. But as a team they generated a lot of top scoring chances but Holtby had his best game of the season. Stats favored the Hawks 84-49 Hawks in shot attempts, 43-22 in scoring chances. Washington blocked 17 shot attempts. I think eventually Robin Lehner becomes the #1 goalie though they will get near equal time in the near future until they have enough evidence to play Lehner more.
