southsider2k5 Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 The Hawks 14 game winless streak is their longest since 1959-1960. They are on pace for a 57 point season, which would be their worst since getting 55 pts in 1957-1958 (without the benefit of OTL) The are also on pace to score 156 goals which would be their lowest total since 1956-1957. (By contrast the Hawks scored 156 goals in 48 games in the strike shortened 1994-1995 season). Also Steve Sullivan leads the team with 15 points, which is tied for the lowest total to lead a team in the NHL. and finally, combined Anderson and Leighton are 1-14-3 this year.

BridgeportHeather Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 This just shows you how valuable Jocelyn Thibault is to this team. Unlike Craig Andersson and Michael Leighton, Thibault can actually steal games for the team, and he has! Furthermore, this team has more rookies composing it than any other team in the NHL. This lack of experience speaks for itself. Finally, the coach has shown that he doesn't have a clue about what he's doing by putting sub-par lineups out there (until Karpovtsev got injured, he was logging nearly the most ice time on the team on the top defensive pairing, though he's the worst blue liner on the squad deserving to be on the third defensive pairing). This just scratches the surface with regards to the problems of this organIzation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSteve Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Contract the Hawks. Shut hockey down for awhile. Most don't care anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of Hawks fans out there who care...They just aren't like Cubs fans who simply go to be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 The SlackHawks fanbase is going the way of the Edsel. There's no reason to cheer for them anymore. The ownership sucks, the coaches are saddled with young and cheap or old and cheap players, and if any young players should happen to develop ( read: get paid ) they are shipped out for young and cheap OR old and cheap players in return. Fans are expected to pay major-league prices to watch mostly minor-league talent. Players are expected to take less money for the HONOR of wearing the Indian Head sweater, and ownership tries to make them look greedy for asking for fair market value. The Hawks are dying, and I no longer care.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 There are plenty of Hawks fans out there who care...They just aren't like Cubs fans who simply go to be seen. The number of Hawks fans that actually give a s*** is getting smaller with every passing day. The ownership doesn't care about winning, the players and coaches dont care about winning, only getting a paycheck so why should any of the fans care?

southsider2k5 Posted December 9, 2003 Author Share Posted December 9, 2003 Well according to today's Trib Steve Passmore is getting serious consideration for a call up. It would be nice to have at least someone with some NHL experience under their belt. I would have to guess that Anderson would be the one to be sent down.

BridgeportHeather Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I would have to guess that Anderson would be the one to be sent down. I would hope so...You have to cover your eyes when Andersson's between the pipes...At least Leighton's displaying signs of life there.

Anderson just isn't ready to be here. You can tell Leighton is learning as he goes along and is improving. Anderson just is a deer in the headlights right now. Let him go back to Norfolk where he can get his confidence back and get ready for the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passmore is recalled, Anderson is sent to Norfolk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Dollar Bill Worst and Pullme are the two worst sports executives on the planet. I can't think of another duo who have f***ed up a sport in their city as badly as these two. It seems like our biggest moves are to piss away talent and spend $$$ on drug addled, worn out their welcome everywhere else, players. They have managed the impossible, making JR and KW and JR and Krause, look like executives of the year. Hockey is more popular in Dallas f***ing Texas than in Chicago where the NHL originated! These cowboys had never seen a puck before and in a season or two had built a bigger fan base. What's the ration of misses to hits with these two 10-1 maybe. The last guy we had that had a clue was Keenan and he scared the s*** out of these guys. And finally are we through with mamma Suter's children? Are there any more we can hire? The Blackhawk Christmas party must lookm like a family reunion. Dammit, you got me started again. Poll idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wong & Owens Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I repeat: The Blackhawks are the worst organization in the history of professional sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Before I fully agree; did Dollar Bill own the team in 1961? I thing they haven't screwed up, the Hawks have the coolest uniforms in pro sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
