Crawford is not the problem

He’s not a shutdown goalie. He’s not among the league’s best either. But he is sufficient enough so long as the defense in front of him plays smart and the forwards commit to their two-way assignments.

Rinne on the other hand is a true elite goaltender.

by Coachtrenks on Jan 24, 2012 9:48 PM CST up reply actions  

actually it is off-side

Rule 83 – Off-side

83.1 Off-side – Players of the attacking team must not precede the puck into the attacking zone.

The position of the player’s skates and not that of his stick shall be the determining factor in all instances in deciding an off-side. A player is off-side when both skates are completely over the leadingedge of the blue line involved in the play.

A player is on-side when either of his skates are in contact with, or on his own side of the line, at the instant the puck completely crosses the leadingedge of the blueline regardless of the position of his stick. However, a player actually controlling the puck who shall cross the line ahead of the puck shall not be considered "off-side," provided he had possession and control of the puck prior to his skates crossing the blue line.

It should be noted that while the position of the player’s skates is what determines whether a player is "off-side," nevertheless the question of an "off-side" never arises until the puck has completely crossed the leading edge of the blueline at which time the decision is to be made.

If a player legally carries or passes the puck back into his own defending zone while a player of the opposing team is in such defending zone, the off-side shall be ignored and play permitted to continue.

no quarter around here

once someone has been identified as not playing up to par, they become target practice. cant do anything right, every mistake they make is enormous, gets no credit when they do make good plays.

I don't hate Crawford

but I just would love for him to cover his team’s ass instead of it always being the opposite. It seems when the defense does shitty we will not do well no matter what. He has kept us in games at times, but when will we ever see a spectacular game?

Peel back the onion on Kane's performance this season

I just look at his shot, assist and goal production versus opponent and home / away split. It is shockingly sobering. For people to DEFEND the play of Kane beyond a couple week stretch where he was a novelty act at center is assinine. And as point of contrast, Dave Bolland, a “defensive forward” with a shot that is uglier even than his mug, has better and more consistent offensive production.

Kane is a franchise player that is playing like a vagabound right wing in the NHL. It’s got to stop. Last season was non-spectacular and this season outright dogshit. It’s time to mature and live up to your insane billing in this league.

or near PPG player that he has been and it’s time to get rid of him? Very interesting?

I see a lot of people ripping on people for ripping on Kane...

…but I don’t see a lot actually telling us why they’re wrong.

Kane hasn’t looked particularly good for long stretches this season. On a night like tonight it would’ve really been nice to see him step up and, instead, he pretty much disappeared.

by bluekoolaide on Jan 24, 2012 10:38 PM CST up reply actions  

People get tired of saying

“Dude is really good but is in a slump” ? He has had a hell of a slump and still has more points than fuckin’ Kovalchuk, Iginla, or Ovie.

And a better +/-

Also. He’s better than Backes, too.

I thought he had a decent game tonight

i know he didn’t score 15 goals and kill 10 penalties all by himself, but I still think he looked ok.

by sapper16 on Jan 24, 2012 10:45 PM CST up reply actions  

I'm really not trying to be snarky here...

…but the fact that he’s slightly better than those three doesn’t help the Hawks at all. We really need this guy to step up and start living up to the hype and he’s simply not doing it. In fact, you could almost make a case that he’s regressing. Last year he at least had stretches where he was dominating. This year…nothing.

It’s beyond frustrating to watch, especially in a game like tonight where one goal would have been huge.

by bluekoolaide on Jan 24, 2012 10:46 PM CST up reply actions  

Are you just ignoring the stats I posted above?

How is he ahead of all of those people if he hasn’t had stretches of dominating?

I mean enough already.

I’m frustrated that he isn’t scoring at the pace he has in years past but man, the guy is in a slump, and anybody that has been in a slump knows that the longer it lasts and the more little things compound it the harder it is to come out of. He is getting chances. I mean there have been some pretty fucking spectacular saves made on Kaner of the last few weeks. The slump will end.

Patience my young Jedis.

Also, like kicks said.

He has been a bigger playmaker than shooter this year. (Look at the assists). The people he is with haven’t been finishing super well, either.

by ForAllYouYoungHockeyMoms on Jan 24, 2012 10:54 PM CST up reply actions  

I mean look at tonight - stalberg delivers on that breakaway - things look different

or any other number of times tonight. he can make the plays but can’t actually mind control the puck into the net when other people are shooting.

This

I mean, I have no problem with people talking about Kaner being in a slump, but there are only so many ways of dissecting his slump before you start having to make stuff up…

by VerStig on Jan 24, 2012 10:54 PM CST up reply actions  

That wasn't really direct toward you

But I think to say Kane has regressed might be a bit of a stretch. He’s in a prolonged slump and will snap out of it. I have just grown weary hearing that Kane is dogshit and an embarrassment.

See if you can guess what I am now.

by IndianHeadCrest on Jan 24, 2012 10:51 PM CST up reply actions  

You look through the threads and its there. Even look at the post from takeoff

I will lose my mind if i try to go through this again but I will say:

1) not scoring =/= disappeared. He is a playmaker first and I saw him set up a bunch of plays that other people did not deliver. If goals were that easy to score, everyone would be up there. Also, given what he said about how his range of motion has decreased after his surgery, I’m not surprised he’s had trouble in that area.
2) long stretches? its been a few weeks where he’s still scored some points. I think Foley said 4 points in 9. Is that ideal, of course not, but that doesn’t mean he’s not doing other things right. Also, he is a proven player and its a little ridiculous to not expect him to improve.
3) 41 points in 50 games – not too far off from being a PPG player. Tied for 11th in assists, and tied for 30th in points (and the gap is not too big to move up).
4) Despite what some say those first few months when he was really dominating DO matter.
5) You could say we needed a player to dominate about any player at some point. Including Toews, Hossa, et al. They just get given a pass, which frankly is bullshit.

i could go on but I’ll stop here.

Going forward...

Preds have superior goaltending play a disciplined system an plain out-worked us two games in a row.
We need Tazer and Sharp back and healthy. Hopefully the week off will help. And we need to sort out the goaltending. I’m not hanging tonights loss on Crow, but over all his body of work this season leaves a lot to be desired. Who in the Central does NOT have better goaltending than the Hawks (Columbus excluded)? Rinne, Howard, Halak/Elliott are all clearly a cut above Crawford this season. Given the current division race, that’s a huge concern. For the love of God, would Patrick Kane PLEASE show up some time soon!
