All that talk about how the org puts on a great production and how they need to put more pucks on net?
I’d be happy with playing tenacious defense and some actual puck possession with actual good passing from one team mate to another.
All i see is a bunch of individual hockey being played still, I’ll call it ISO hockey and if this continues coaches are going to be losing their jobs pretty soon
I said this in another area but I’ll also add it here, i thought Blashill was going to bring the Bolts defense here? If you have a team that is based on speed especially the forwards why are they not allowed to smother the player in the zone? Or the neutral zone. So much time and space for the opponent everywhere on the ice its disgusting and whatever they are doing doesn’t make them available for outlet passes, I’m so confused by what I’m seeing on the ice.
A prime example of a play, why did Moore go for the fake backhand skate and allow Quinn all that space on his forehand that ended up as a goal. Then on another goal Moore was covering empty ice in his own zone instead of engaging the player coming into the zone that ended up scoring the goal.
Even little things like Vlasic not tying up Eichels stick on the LVGK goal. I don’t understand how it appears to me the little things are not being taught to these players.
Could not agree more with your assessment. I thought bringing Blash in was a mistake. I don’t think he has the ability to younger players better. He proved that with the Dead Wings. You can say all you want in a press conference to make yourself or other players look good, at the end of the day this team is still hot garbage.
Have to think if we don’t see some steady incremental improvement game to game, Blashill might not make it to game 10 of this season. I know they are a young team, but to start the year with this much regression in their play on the ice is concerning. The inability of the coaching staff to make adjustments that yield any pushback. Young players not progressing on errors they continue to make all last season, like the powerplay entries. Forwards not supporting the D to exit the zone, forwards getting caught deep and the team giving up several off man rushes a period. Last season, the team was icing the puck a lot to relieve the pressure, now they seem like they can’t even get that far, as they are just burned in transition. I just think Blashill was only “okay” last season, and this season has been a monumental disaster so far. It doesn’t look like a lack of talent, or just a few guys slumping, it looks like a team not ready to play and with poor structure on the ice.
Nice review Coach!
Saw a clip of Pierre McGuire saying he was worried about what he was seeing with Chicago after the 1st 2 games.
My question, if the Blackhawks are still playing like this around Thanksgiving(USA), do you see any changes happening? Trades,Blashill being let go,Davidson being let go etc..? Some sort of a shakeup to try something different?
The Chicago Blackhawks finally found their offense in Buffalo, and it still was not enough. The Hawks led 2-0 early and 3-2 late in the second period,
