Hi there Hawks fans…..this is going to be somewhat brief cause I’ll be super busy this week and the only time I can write this is now. Anyways, the Hawks are 22-18-3 overall. They are 3rd in their division and rank 11th in the conference. Hawks have 47 pts and there are 4 other teams with the same amount of points but they have a few less games played. The Western Conference is a tight squeeze between the 4th to the 11th only being a few points off of each other. In the last 6 games, they were 2-4-0 . They got 4 out of 12 points in those games. They have only won the last game….hopefully they can keep up the momentum up and go on a winning streak.

In the last 6 games…
Power play as been at 23.5% with 4 goals in 17 chances with at least a man advantage.
Penalty kill has been 68.2% allowing 7 goals in 22 times of being short-handed.
Can’t really do a report card because the only thing the Hawks got going for them is their power play and goaltending. My suggestion would be if you have one the worst PK in the league….you might want to stay out of the box. Here’s an interesting stat about their PK…..39 short-handed goals were allowed all of last season….this season alone they are already at 33 goals and were only half-way thru the season.
Here are the scores and interesting stats for the last six games

Overall, Hawks need a lot of improvement. They struggle in every game. My suggestion and I know it sounds crazy but maybe you might want to scratch one of your core players. It might send a message that they might need to get their game together. Here’s who works well together. Skille-Dowell-Stalberg…Bolland-Brouwer-Bickell….Kane-Sharp…….Kopecky-Hossa
Here’s my suggestion
Kane-Toews-Sharp
Hossa-Johnson/Pisani-Brouwer
Bickell-Bolland-Kopecky
Skille-Dowell-Stalberg
Or
Kane-Toews-Brouwer
Hossa-Sharp-Bickell
Pisani-Bolland/Johnson-Kopecky
Skille-Dowell-Stalberg
Who knows what in the world I’m talking about….all I do know is that all the players are healthy so lets start some lines that have some chemistry….even the D needs to switch up…..Yeah that’s right…..the top pair D ain’t working up to par. Stay out of the penalty box cause your PK is killing you guys. I will be missing tonight’s game so let me know if you see any improvement!!! GO HAWKS!!!!
