There is NO energy from Kane, Toews Saad, Keith ect. Well, they brought it in the 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is NO energy from Kane, Toews Saad, Keith ect. I was just thinking that recently. It seems the Saad trade as well as all of the moves this past off season have caused them to take another step back this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statistically I am not sure there is much that supports "lack of energy" unless I am missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statistically I am not sure there is much that supports "lack of energy" unless I am missing something. They are right up there in shots per game, but also near the top in shots given up per game. It just seems like their shots aren't of the highest quality or very dangerous chances. On Friday night, they had 51 shots, but in no way did I think they should have scored more goals. They seem to just be happy getting it to the goaltender, which might work better if you have a big net presence up front, which they don't.

southsider2k5 Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 Paul Skrbina @ChiTribSkrbina 1h1 hour ago Cody Franson likely out Tuesday for Blackhawks. Quenneville said he'd like to get Hartman back in. Said "we'll see" when asked whether Panik would play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Q finally puts the kid DeBrincat in the top 6 and the Toews line gets 6 points. I guess better late then never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 7, 2017 -> 07:50 AM) With 3 straight home games against the 3 worst teams in hockey coming up, the next week will tell us if it's time to panic yet. 6 out of 6 points is taking care of business, but can't say it changed much of my opinion. One home game left in 2017, so they'll have to make up some more ground on the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Dec 11, 2017 -> 06:16 AM) I was just thinking that recently. It seems the Saad trade as well as all of the moves this past off season have caused them to take another step back this season. Not sure I would blame the moves. I know weird time to say this since now they have strung together some wins but Toews is a good player just not what he was when the Hawks were winning Cups. What is this like the 3rd year in a row he hasn't been as productive as we expect he could be ? Also Keith absolutely sucks on the PP. I have seen him make so many telegraphed passes. He's just not creative enough and scoring no goals thus far isn't a big help either. I was actually pleased to see Franson getting more time on the PP. WHen you are glad about that something is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea if you think of it as replacing Hossa with Sharp then that is a move that has hurt a lot. Nice win tonight though against the Wild for the 5th win in a row. Crow is on a roll. And some of the role players recently are stepping up like Wingels, Hinostroza, Oesterle, Hartman and Kempny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Hopefully they can get the PP fixed. Looked better today, but everytime I have to watch Duncan Keith kill another PP, I die alittle inside. He and Sharp should not be on any PP unit.

I had NO IDEA a guy name Oesterle was on the Hawks, ha. That was a beautiful long stretch pass that sprung Kane on a breakaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
