'Hawks are having a dismal road trip...losses in Winnipeg, Edmonton (without McSavior), and shut out by Vancouver.

Slumping badly, the 'Hawk PP has given up better SH chances against than they have had chances for.

Expectations in the Chicago's press and fandom is that Stan Bowman is nearing the end, and that the 'Hawks will certainly be sellers. A recent article had Gustafsson saying that it is a little distracting that the trade rumors for him are building, but, he is doing his best to carry on. (BTW, THIS 'Hawk fan can't wait to dump this defensive liability, who he likens to Phil Housley, in getting caught out of position when jumping into the offense every time.)

Colliton looks, more and more, like a stone cold failure, and again, many 'Hawk fans (me included) thought that Q shouldn't have been fired unless it was a total clean out, including Bowman.

The 'Hawk defense has league lead in high-danger chances against, and the pressure seems to finally be getting to the overachieving goaltending that we had been getting from BOTH Lehner and Crawford. With the recent sputtering offense, we are like Glass Joe from Punch Out, just a tomato can to be knocked over.

Hoping for an entertaining game, but expecting your guys to be able to take care of business at home.

Will be on the game thread...hope to have some fun, and good luck to my Flame Fan friends here...
