Quoting: Weezley
Just saw the scores for tonight’s games. I was wondering what sparked such a dramatic diatribe. 😛
People who can’t see any positives with this club. They only need to go back to last season and see how bad defensively they were then. The have improved.
I HAVE BEEN SAYING ALL YEAR. IF THE POWER PLAY WORKED THIS CLUB BE HIGHER IN THE STANDINGS. I would rather be on the side of 3 -0 lost, and know in my heart as a team we played well enough to win, than to be outshot/outplayed and the goaltending made it closer than it was.
If you can’t see this club is better than than how they were in November, then you sadly need to educate yourself about the game of hockey. The Hawks are not the Bruins, the Capitals, the Lightning, the Penguins, the Blues or the Avalanche. The are NOT Kings or Red Wing either.
In November, I was in favour of a rebuild. My view was based on the speed of the team. This team can skate if they have the will do to so. The pieces are there. Starting with Lehner. Trading him for a draft pick doesn’t guarantee, that pick will play next season, or the Hawks will have a suitable replacement. There are other players that can be moved to improve this club.
