I am absolutely livid with Q, as are many other 'Hawk fans...HATED the re-Signing of Rozival, HATED Q's reliance on his "veteran presence"...The guy has been AWFUL, despite Q giving him favorable zone starts, and padding his stats by putting him on the ice with the 2nd line O-zone much of the year.

If I had to use an adjective to describe Rozi, at this point in his career, that adjective would, at best, be "lumbering"...and countless LWs have blown by him, especially during this recent downslide. Also he has had a very NON-veteran habit of over pursuing puck-side, leaving opponent LWs clear sailing

Tonight, F'n Rozi was out there with Tarasenko, with a 1-0 lead and 1:16 to go...predictably Rozi puck watches and drifts out of position, leaving, yet another, opponent LW wide open. That goal doomed any chance of moving up the standings.

I'd rather have ROOKIES making those kind of bonehead mistakes...there is NO EXCUSE for a guy that has been around, like Rozival, to be so out of position that he can neither play the puck, play the man, nor clog the shooting lane...

Once the Blues secured the tie point, the 'Hawks were locked into 3rd in the Central.
