STOP WITH THE PENALTIES

Stop playing Angie!

At least cut the penalties you get called for in half, hahaha

Shouldn’t be hard to do.

Even though they had all those penalties called on them they competed hard the entire game. I thought they would become passive.

Like to see a lot these hockey players leave their ego in the locker room like Murphys retalatory hit, bank what happened and during the game pick a spot where you make that player pay.

Colton Dach — Connor Bedard — André Burakovsky
Teuvo Teräväinen — Frank Nazar — Tyler Bertuzzi
Ryan Donato — Ryan Greene — Ilya Mikheyev
Lukas Reichel — Jason Dickinson — Nick Foligno

Alex Vlasic — Sam Rinzel
Wyatt Kaiser — Louis Crevier
Matt Grzelcyk — Connor Murphy

Good point Dots. Big reason Murph is on the team is to show the rooks what to do and what not to do. Must’ve gotten his dad’s temper (Gord), eh?!

TY Frenchy, for continuing to put out steady info.

first power play: 100% ass

Last year Donato buries that shot.

If he did, it would have qualified the Hawks for the
“worst PP in NHL history to produce a goal” award

Bad unforced penalty by Rinzel.
They got away with it, but the PK did not *look* good.

The end of period 2 was horrible.
The Hawks were performing their famous “5 on 5 Penalty Kill”.

9 SOG in 40 minutes, not great Bob.
Hopefully they can hang on.

🤞

edit: Knight looks great.

I’m usually pretty optimistic but the Hawks are pretty lucky to not be down a couple right now. It’s a young season so far but arguably playing worse 5v5 than last season. Losing a lot of puck battles, not protecting the puck, just giving it away at the wrong areas of the ice. Knight (and Soderblom) have kept them in games, but they have yet to have a 60 minute effort where they looked good. Just not impressed with this start to the season.

The third line just trying to work and will the team to their first win of the year. Have to admire the effort from all three guys on that forward group right now.

Hawks win 2-1.

On pace for 60 points this season.

Hawks win 3-1.

Just an ugly win, but a win. Utah really gave that game away.

I really hope Blashill stops going with 7 D and considers getting Mikheyev/Donato into the top 6. Down the stretch last year we had a top 6 like this

Donato – Bedard – Mikheyev
Bertuzzi – Nazar – Turbo

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think Dach is a top 6 player at the NHL level. Bertuzzi has been mostly invisible for long stretches for most of his Chicago career. I would be considering moving Donato and Mikheyev up the lines and Bertuzzi and Dach down to the bottom 6.

Man what a win tonight. The time and space the team is taking away is fantastic, keeping Utah to half the ice was frustrating them, it became the iso show in the 2nd and 3rd period for them.

I disagree with the popular opinion, i believe the harder working team won tonight.
