Blackhawk fans are in full panic mode...Timonen, Rozival, and Rundblad have been less than useless, and have been dragging Keith and Seabrook down, as Q tries to cover for them by breaking up the natural pair...Vermette has not developed any chemistry with either Sharp and Hossa, or Saad and TT, so the 2nd line has suffered...Bickell, Carbomb and Dejardins are hot crap, and Richards appears about done, so the 3rd line has been totally ineffective...Only Kruger/Shaw/and Nordstrom seem to bring effort every shift, but they are offensively challenged...Sharp, a notoriously streaky player, has had an off year, and Hossa is starting to show a little age, he is still great on the backcheck, but is not consistently dominant on O...Toews is Toews...and Crawford has had to have been perfect, to get ANY points with the continuing problems with D-Zone turnovers, by the mentioned, less than useless, D-men.
Kane appears to have been the glue holding the lines together, and he is sorely missed.
Sorry, Flame fans, I am not too optimistic about my guys, that have only been at about 1 goal per game, recently...
