What team fires one of the all-time greatest coaches and goes on a big-time nose dive? Chicago.

Beat that.






And before Taco chimes in, remember, Chicago does not run #1 overall picks into the ground.

You clearly have not seen the prior 17-some games.

No, but I'm aware of their record, which makes it all the more frustrating that they outskated my team all night

As constructed, I suspect your team has giant holes as well. Chicago's is easy: Blueline is toast. Keith and Seabrook both are no 1st-pairings anymore...they need to be 2nd and 3rd pairing respectively. In place, a high-caliber puck-mover who is responsible and not stupid.

So, Chicago finally has Edmonton's problem on D. But at least I can say the Hawks won some Cups and did not run any lottery picks into the ground in the process.

And the Pens looked great again last night... for the first period, then stopped skating half way through the second period and gave up 3 unanswered to the Ducks just to add stress to my life.

Crawford out with another major concussion...He should start thinking about life past hockey if the rumors are true.

Oi. Hope he gets better but Hawks need a new starting goalie now.

We can't be successful giving up that many shots each night. What's even worse, the lack of defense isn't translating into a stellar offense.

The assistant coaches...namely Recchi, need to go. What the he'll does Recchi do anyway, manage the iPads on the bench? Need someone to work a more defensive style system from the defensive zone out. Where's Tony Granato when you need him....

For as bad as his concussion was last time, I couldnt agree more with the statement. Wasn't he to the point of battling vertigo last time?

Yeah, that was the rumor...and apparently, it was courtesy of your boy, Malkin too. Anyways, hockey play I guess but yeah, Crawford's career is now in question which is a pity, he's proven to be pretty good at what he does.

The Blueshirts gave the Leafs a tough time tonight. I dunno why they play this hard when they are supposed to tank this season. You don't need these two fucking points god damn it.

Kane also scored a hattie...so, I believe everyone got Big Macs too in Chicago. Though, I'm not there right now.

Hank is having a great year, the Rangers have been much better than tonight's debacle which was, as I said ugly.

Put The best goalie in his prime out there with no defense this is what it looks like.

I'm looking to see what time the Canadians are playing in the WJC's semis...but I'm not seeing the time?

Maybe someone north of the boarder can help me out with this...one of those hockey loyalists that started this thread.

Quiet as it's kept, yup.

Also, can someone explain to me how trading the best defenseman on the team helps a team that has defense, issues?

You're asking if the team that acquired the best d-man in a trade now suddenly has problems...? It depends on what shot the player is from and if it infringes on the destination team's current d-corp. There are alot of factors and not a matter of fantasy hockey. Which team are you referring to?

Rangers traded McDonough, they were defensively poor with him, now they are horrible at best. They got draft picks basically that have not played a game in the NHL.
