Description
Yikes Not a Great Start

I liked the way Captain Serious Looked. Kane needs to be better. Kabalik looked decent, nice awareness on his goal. Kurashev is building on from last year. Johnson should not be 2c. That brings me to Dach. Dach should be playing 2c and Johnson should be playing 3c. Dach played decently considering not having normal linemates. DeBrincat was playing well and should have a great year. Hagel was good and created some chance. Carpenter looked okay, didn't notice him much. Khaira looked decent not great but strome 100% should have taken his spot.

Jones was terrible. 27 Minutes of nothing. I don't want to hate on him but he needs to be better. He is a good skater but he needs to develop his shot and quick release. McCabe wasn't great on the first goal he embarrassed himself a little but I have no worry for him. He will easily prove his worth he just had a below average night. De Haan wasn't great but ok, his contract expires next year so its not as bad. Murphy looked solid and hopefully he can be their #1 defenceman. Mitchell and stillman looked decent for being young however they need to play consistently in the defensive end.

Fleury was decent but you can't blame him, the whole team didn't look great.

KEYS TO A BETTER NEXT GAME:

1. Figure out your roster and get the lines right in a way that everyone can thrive.
2. Figure out how to play defence. The #2 pairing is the only hope of defence the hawks have.
3. Be consistent 5x5. They were to much up and down last game.

I'm not sure I agree with some of what you said in your review. Based on the totality of play by each player (not based on 1 mistake only)...

Met expectations: Cat, Dach, Kubalik, Toews, Stillman, Murphy, Hagel

Average, not all that noticeable: Kane, Carps, Entwistle, Mitchell, McCabe, Fleury, Khaira, Johnson

Below expectations, poor performance: Jones (way below expectations), De haan (just out position constantly), Borgstrom (worse version of Strome), Kurashev (didn't show he should be on a top line role, looked like a 3rd liner on a top line)

Biggest change is Strome should be in the lineup over borgstrom at this point. Very similar players but Strome at least creates a couple or more good offensive chances per game; Borstrom really didn't create anything per se was simply involved in offensive plays.

IMO Johnson should be in below expectations… although it’s hard to say I personally had expectations for him to begin with. If you haven’t heard of game score I recommend https://hockeystatcards.com/single-game-card/13006 as a more objective evaluation of a players game outside of expectations.

I agree based statistically but there were things Johnson was doing well away from the puck that I noticed. That said, he was a 4th liner in Tampa and should be a 3rd liner on a decent team like the Hawks so that's where my expectations are; he's being forced into a role above his ability much like Anisimov was as another example.
