southsider2k5 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Faceoffs are a big thing to think about. If we are winning 45% of our draws in the playoffs, it is going to make it really tough to win a series against a team like DET or SJ.

They'll be hard enough to beat anyway, you can't give them that much puck possession. Isn't Toews the only center with a winning faceoff % on the team (with significant numbers of faceoffs, I mean - if someone is 7 of 11 I don't care)?

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 The Hawks are near the bottom in overall faceoff percentage wins and the penalty kill hasn't been very effective the last month and a half. The Hawks will need to create cap space to try and solve both these problem areas. I still think the Hawks have a shot at Dominic Moore of Toronto.

Â Quick note -- Moore was held out of last nights game... definitely a signal of a pending trade somewhere. Â Also, espn says that hawks are interested in Mark Recchi -- hes a UFA at the end of the year but would be a nice Gary Roberts type pick up for a playoff run.

MurcieOne Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I really like the move. I can't imagine we gave up too much -- Moore rejected an extension offered by TOR and was going to walk after the season. I'm actually glad he is going to be a UFA, because he's having a career year (contract year) and you'd hate to have a guy turn back into a pumpkin and clog up your cap. Â Nice move Dale.

Dick Allen Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 LeBrun (2:15 p.m. ET): Just a quick note on Martin Havlat. He's close to signing a multiyear deal, but it won't be completed today. But they're close enough where the Hawks are not going to move him today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
