QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 08:31 PM) What's his system? http://www.coachesclipboard.net/HoibergTra...DragScreen.html Basically, the personnel on this team isn't right. GarPax have committed to changing the team by hiring Hoiberg.

QUOTE (ozzfest @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 08:26 PM) I know like Draymond Green right? How many teams passed on Draymond Green? You're so good at complaining about a front office that continually makes the playoffs often in a top 5 seed. Unless you can magically turn this team into the Warriors or the Cavs, you have no plan.

QUOTE (ozzfest @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 08:17 PM) All of you GarPax lovers, nice draft picks! Niko, Snell, McDermott! Great playing tonight! Those are the types of picks you make when you're above average for so long. The Bulls would have to be awful to get a decent draft pick.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 08:04 PM) Why would anyone want to keep Hoiberg? Unless he's your friend I guess. His system is wasted on a team like this.

The Blackhawks are even in 5 on 5 on the season. That needs to improve.

Old team, new tricks. Keep Hoiberg. Lose everyone not named Butler

Blackhawks have a backup goalie problem. 4-0 Panthers

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 07:35 PM) Meaning you don't want to see them in the playoffs in general because you don't like them or because they're a tough matchup against the Hawks? I would love to see Florida in the playoffs. Tallon really has done a great job rebuilding that organization I don't want to play them in the playoffs. Thankfully we likely won't have to.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 07:23 PM) Darling not having a good night. Hawks defense isn't helping him much either, but 2 of those goals he should of definitely had. Agreed. These teams are even with Crawford in goal. Luckily we aren't in the East, because I don't want either Florida team in the playoffs this season.

3-0 Panthers after the first.

The Panthers are completely clowning us in the first.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 03:34 PM) He seemed to be fine with the locker room, it was the front office that he was extremely bad with. Players play hard for him The Rose/Butler rift was as bad if not worse under Thibs. Butler is just so petty.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 03:22 PM) Borrowing from hockey, I think he ends up going the Mike Keenan route of bouncing from team to team every few years because he either burns the players or management out. The funny thing is, Thibs would be an excellent assistant under a guy like Hoiberg. He's a savant at X's and O's. He's terrible at locker room type things.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 03:18 PM) After the way LeBron bullied Blatt, does anyone really see a strong coach like Thibs working out in CLE? I sure don't. It's telling that the Thibodeau rumors have been sparse since his firing in Chicago.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 03:08 PM) Ha what a scummy move by them, negotiating behind the HC's back. Anyone thing they're better off with Lue than Blatt? If you do this I think you have to hire someone like Thibs, or at least do it at the end of the year. Which is crazy to me because they have locked themselves into Lue. Really stupid move. They're not a championship team either way with the way the Western Conference juggernauts are playing.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 03:03 PM) It's gonna be thibs Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojVerticalNBA 5m5 minutes ago Assistant Ty Lue has agreed to a multi-year deal as new Cavaliers head coach, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

Already calls for Thibodeau. Whatever. Good luck with that 2nd grade offense. Edit: Nevermind, they have signed Lue to a long term deal.

QUOTE (Tony @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 08:51 PM) I don't wan to be a total prick here, but lets not get back into the past Kane rape case again. It took up a large chunk of this thread, and for good reason, but lets leave it in the past, until something legit comes up with any of the recent news. Amen. Holy cow my feed is way behind.

QUOTE (Tony @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 08:30 PM) It should be 4-1, at least. Just a bad performance so far, but again, this was coming at some point. It literally had to. Agreed. Crawford has really done a good job overall. That too many men penalty was rough.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 08:06 PM) Ya fabricating evidence was a brilliant move. She went to the police, got a rape kit done. That's what you're supposed to do in that situation. Twitter over a year later is not the proper place to make accusations. Kane has never been found guilty of rape, but his victim was never found guilty of "fabricating evidence", either. Stop with the childish victim blaming.

2-1 Bolts

What is this team doing right now?

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 07:17 PM) I hate that the best player on my favorite hockey team is portrayed to be such a f***ing tool. I also wish that one of 2 things would happen: 1. these stories would stop (if they're lying) or 2. more people would come out (assuming they're not lying) so this jack*** could just go to prison. I have finally accepted that Patrick Kane isn't a good person. He's great at hockey and makes the Blackhawks good, so for now that will have to do. Not ready to call him a sexual predator based on twitter posts. Give the Buffalo accuser a lot of credit. She did all the right things from a procedural standpoint.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 12:50 PM) I disagree on Toews' line. Toews and Shaw have been great offensively lately. Toews has 6 points in his last 5 and Shaw has 3 assists in his last 5 Shaw is not a real scoring threat. Ideally, you want some combination of Shaw/Teuvo as your first line winger in Saad's old position.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 07:03 AM) So the Spurs and Cavs were lucky. The Cavs are lucky the best player in the world (at the time) was from Akron. The crazy thing is, he might not ever win one in Cleveland. The Spurs were terrible at just the right time to draft Tim Duncan, who was the true king of the Kobe era. They're also fortunate Aldridge had no interest in playing anywhere except San Antonio. All the great teams get lucky. The best you can really do with no luck is maybe one championship season or the Bulls.
