Very much an AHL quality squad, the only thing that remains a threat, from my guys, is the above average play of the Goaltenders. Mrazek and Stalock, have been standing on their heads, while, the Blackhawks' wretched D-men allow high danger chance after high danger chance.

Offensively, the only threats are Athanaseou, Lafferty, Kuroshev, or Raddish, leaking the D-zone for stretch plays. These are often 1 and done with no follow-up or sustained pressure.

This 'Hawk fan is counting down the season for a couple of reasons, the Bears end their misery today, the 'Hawk Tank is hard to watch (and as an anti-tanker, I hope it doesn't get rewarded, substantially), and the Foss retires a 45 year Pharmacy career on March 8.


See you guys/gals in the GT, good luck to your guys.

Congrats on your looming retirement! Your contributions and insights on the Hawks have always made this forum a better place.
