Hey Tracker...Working nights means that I have to watch the games later on DVR...also was traveling, my youngest received his BS from Southern Utah, and we have traveled to look at a few Grad Schools...he wants to pursue a Masters in Occupational Therapy...but as to the series...
The 'Hawks have played with some complacency, getting virtually nothing from the top guys...credit to the Kings and more to Quick, for shutting them down.
I'll post more later, but I gotta get to work...
But I posted this on a 'Hawk form after last game...
The 'Hawk puck handling was AWFUL tonight...and D-zone turnovers were brutal...Kings got some breaks, and took advantage...Sharp needs a bitchslap for taking a stupid penalty early...You guys were all over Bollig for an interference, and you are gonna give a guy that wears an "A" a pass on a selfish roughing?
They better speed dial YP to coach up some Centers, tomorrow, because our guys REALLY need to win some draws...Toews was completely snakebitten, but Bickell was able to clean up on the 2nd goal.
On the PK...SOMEBODY HAS TO CLEAR THE SLOT...LEAVING A GUY UNCHECKED IN FRONT OF THE GOALIE IS A LOSING STRATEGY! And they next guy that makes a soft clearing attempt needs one upside his head too!
Well, this team needs to wake the hell up and play a COMPLETE game...Some here are blaming Q, but, the PLAYERS are responsible for effort, and the bottom guys were outplaying the top guys all game 4, IMO...that isn't on the coach, necessarily, for if he limits the minutes of his top guys, then the 2nd guessers will be all over him...but #19, #10, #88, #2, #7 need to play better (and #8 needs to be a LOT better...on both ends...a lot of bad decisions by the kid, and as bad as the 1st pair was, the 3rd pair had to get a regular shift.
Well, it's sudden death for these guys in this round...they have to play better, coaches have to coach better, and they need to win out, or a decent season will be wasted.
