1) Did no one involved in coaching or decision making notice those couple of power plays last week in which The Hawks moved the puck and moved their feet and they scored some goals?
If so, why are we being forced to endure the same old get-the-zone (eventually, if at all) and play-catch-while-we-all-stand-still? This is ridiculous.
2) Has the so-called Push-em-Back power play breakout scheme ever worked? This is such a huge waste of time and, almost hilariously, they mess it up half the time, anyway (I'm lookin' at you, Gustafsson). Yeah, I understand that they want to have Kane, primarily, enter the o-zone with speed, but what's the rush? IF they manage to gain the zone everyone just takes their positions and stands there, anyway. It might be smarter to decline power plays, going forward.
3) When was the last time Keith completed a pass?
Otherwise...
The Hawks crushed VAN in Corsi and chances. Only one Hawks player was south of 50% Corsi, most were 60-70%, yet....
The Hawks' goaltending is garbage, full stop.
Sharp was stymied once and hit a crossbar.
Hinnie had a sure thing tipped away.
Seabrook maybe should have a penalty shot? (which he would have gacked, but that's not for now)
Schmaltz was excellent, so there's that.
But, wow, The Hawks have allowed 26 goals against in the last five games and were -14 in that run. I need a drink.
