The Critic Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 Halfway through the first period. Hawks look AWFUL. Not hitting anyone, scrambling around, disorganized. This is NOT the team I got excited about in the preseason. ...ugh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSteve Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 I think you guys may have overhyped some of their young talent as of now. I am not saying they will not be good, just not yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted October 18, 2003 Author Share Posted October 18, 2003 I think you guys may have overhyped some of their young talent as of now. I am not saying they will not be good, just not yet. I never thought they'd be a Cup contender this year. I thought with a little luck they MIGHT sneak into the playoffs. What I'm disappointed with so far is the lack of aggressiveness. They look lost much of the time, and they have ZERO offense. I expected that, but I was HOPING that someone would step up and force the play in the offensive zone. 3-1 at the end of the first - Sullivan scores in the last minute of the period on a short-handed breakaway.

IlliniBob72 Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 I don't understand all the Ruutu hype. In the games I've seen, he's been invisible. I'll tell you who has impressed me though. Pavel Vorobiev. He was the only one out in Columbus who made an impression. He was flying out there and showed some flashes. It's going to be a rough year.

The Critic Posted October 19, 2003 Author Share Posted October 19, 2003 Just another note: It's really cool to see some of the Wolves playing up in Atlanta. The Wolves play the game the right way, and I hope those guys like Pasi Nurminen ( sp? ) and JP Vigier have some success at the NHL level. 5-1 Thrashers....looks like a thrashing to me. Thibault has a seat - Leighton gets to play in front of the Keystone Kops for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mean the team as a whole, I meant the youngsters, ie Ruutu and all of them. BTW, how do you lose 7-2? 7 goals, wow, that's alot.

NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 1-4 and dead in the water trying to sell season tickets, when play stops, I bet the phones are ringi ng off the hook Anyone who would pay thousands of dollars for season tickets and parking and concessions to Dollar Bill Wirtz is the very defenition of a sucker. The slackhawks could lose all 82 games & he wouldn't give a s*** as long as he gets 10000 suckers to pad his pockets every game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is NOT the team I got excited about in the preseason. ...ugh... You know what really sucks about all this is that Brian Sutter will probably be fired during or right after this season. It really will suck to see him take a fall for really is the fault of Mike Smithov and those above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the 33 Sutter's currently or formerly employed by the SlackHawks have done s*** in their time in Chicago. Sutter's=Over-rated.

Queen Prawn Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 At least the Hawks have a couple wins. My team (Hurricanes) hasn't done better than a tie. That's what happens when you have no one that can score and a goalie that can't stop the puck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
