Actually been catching some of the recent Hawks’ games. I’ve also seen how the Western Conference is shaping up. For the first time, my confidence is wavering. For the first time, I could see the Hawks not making the playoffs; imagine that. It’s an all out Hawk Alert over here.
The Vancouver game was pathetic. Foley dropped an interesting nugget. The Hawks are 27th in the NHL in blocked shots. Didn’t this used to be one of our strengths? Who is missing? We know Hammer isn’t around any more; he was constantly blocking shots. Murphy is a nice player; we don’t know what Dauphin will be. But I’m missing Hammer.
Pat went on to say that now, with a backup backup goalie starting, would be a great time to sacrifice the body to prevent a couple pucks from making it through. Is the want just not there? It certainly didn’t seem to be there in Vancouver on that evening.
Without Crow for the short term (hopefully), who is now in the middle of his second IR stint, the Hawks are in the danger zone. They did pull off a nice victory against the Oilers, in a game which they almost blew. Every single point counts. They got one more chance to earn some before the calendar turns to 2018 with a game in Calgary on New Year’s Eve.

The Hawks are going to have to play consistent high level hockey; I think I may have mentioned it before. But I was really just saying it to say it, like stating the obvious…figuring the Hawks would be just fine. But I really mean it now. I’m worried.
I know it’s been consecutive first round knockouts, but to miss the playoffs?!? It would be the first time in ten years. That was the end of a streak of missing the playoffs in 9 out of 10 years (10 of 11 if you count the strike year). If we did miss the playoffs it would be a fluke right? We’re not going back there are we? We wouldn’t blow up the band would we?
Ok, maybe I’m overreacting. Maybe I just need to be a little more concerned; maybe we all do. Maybe the Hawks do too. I’m still having a hard time dealing with that thought though.
Tell me I’m wrong. Tell me not to worry. Tell me that everything is going to be ok. Do the Bulls really have a better chance at making the playoffs than the Hawks? I’m not ready for this. I’m not ready for this window to close; this glorious run to end. Make me wrong boys. Let’s go Hawks!

The stat about blocked shots definitely shows how much the Hawks are missing Hammer. He was the human blocked shot machine. Are the new guys not sacrificing their bodies enough? Bad positioning? Probably a combination but still, guys have to get in front of more pucks. Another stat that always baffles me is the power play. I just saw that the Hawks are 29th out of 31 teams…really? Like always, I can’t believe that with so much talent, the Hawks just flat out suck with an extra man. Why is that? Seems like an every year thing that just can’t get fixed. Who’s to blame for this one? Yes, the Hawks sit in last place right now in their division but still not at the midway point. A 4 or 5 game win streak would catapult them up pretty quick. Worried? Maybe a bit but still not panicking just yet. Keep the faith. Panic time with like 20 games left. GO HAWKS!!!
