An embarrassing performance by the Hawks at home in the playoffs, losing 3 straight. They had only 8 regulation losses at home all year, and now lose 3 straight to the freakin Coyotes?

 

Officials were not much better in the series, it seems like the Coyotes could literally mug the Hawks without getting a call. The Coyotes got away with 4-5 calls a night whereas the Hawks might get away with 1-2 non-calls.

 

The Hawks really missed Hossa. Crawford needs to go. Hawks need a little more size, they were manhandled all series, and for some reason they looked slow.

 

Also, what an absolute atrocious Western Conference with the Hawks, Red Wings, Canucks, and Sharks all gone. Now the Hawks get to watch Versteeg, Campbell, and Kopecky.

As I said b4, the Hawks need a new Goalie but they also need a Brent Sopel type Dman. Not old and slow but a stay at home shot blocker.

A new goalie is an understatement. Crawford's season totals: 31st in GAA, 35th in SV%, and 0 shutouts. The Hawks did not shutout a single team the entire year. They were the only team without at least one shutout. The Hawks were in the bottom five for the Power Play and Penalty Kill, that needs to be fixed as well.

0-0 after the first period, you knew the Hawks were doomed. Smith stole one. I don't even want to know what Crawford's SV% was tonight.

.800 on 20 shots.......

A lot of people were very happy to dump Campbell's salary, but boy could we have used him this season. And boy could we have used the funds we got from freeing up some salary a lot better.

Yeah all that depth surely paid off.

 

Some new signings: Brunette -12, O'Donnell -6, Morrison -5, Mayers -4 = brutal

 

Then Crawford and Frolik 3 year extensions, Crawford is worst starting goalie in the NHL and Frolik was -10

 

The only bright spots were Carcillo and Montador who both ended the season injured.

 

Also, what ever happened to Ben Smith?

Smith had a concussion at the beginning of the year and missed a lot of time and then suffered another injury recently that put him out.
