    Well that sucked. How the hell did that shot from Seabrook not go in?!? Hit both posts and bounced along the goal line. Unbelievable. Great series all around with a disappointing ending.

    Yeah, I can't believe that shot didn't go in.
    While I'm pissed it's over, I'm not really shocked by the outcome. The Hawks are still a very good team, but I think anyone watching them over the last 2 months could see they had some issues. They still had the ability to step it up when they needed, but they didn't have all the pieces they've had in past years. That and it seemed like they lacked focus at times thoughout the year and the playoffs. I said it many times over the season but it truly seemed like everyone was just waiting for someone else to do something.
    The lacked the depth of quality players they've had in the past. In the past, the 3rd and 4th line, while they'd never burn up the highlight reel...they could still worry the other team.
    Need another solid defender and at least two more forwards...especially since Ladd will be gone now.

    Finally get rid of that Bickell contract. It's too bad that they had to throw in a young guy like Tuevo just to get someone to take Bickell.

    I'm not to hurt over losing Tuevo. He certainly showed some flash and some potential last year, but I don't see him being more than a 15 goal/yr kind of guy anyways. And the dude turned the puck over so much!
    I'm just glad they freed up some cap space.

    Gives us some room to re-sign Shaw and hopefully work an extension to Panarin.

    I'd be OK if they moved on from Shaw and brought in a free agent. Shaw has been solid over the years, but you can always count on him for a stupid penalty at the worst time. Drives me nuts. I just don't want a Shaw contract to keep the Hawks from re-signing Panarin. The salary cap keeps going down so it just keeps getting tighter for the Hawks.

    That wouldn't bother me at all. I'd much rather get Panarin locked up for a few more years. Shaw is replaceable, Panarin is Kane Jr. in the making.

    Exactly! Panarin IS the future. Was so fun watching him play last year. Looked like a young Patty Kane.

    Yep. Hawks already had to trade Saad and now Tuevo because of this brutal Bickell contract. Don't want to see it happen again by them overpaying for Shaw.

    So long, Shaw. Had a nice run here and won 2 Cups. Apparently he as looking for $4.5M per year. Way too much for a guy like that....right decision by Bowman. This NHL salary cap is brutal! That damn canadian dollar sure is making things hard.

    Re-signed Brian Campbell of the 2010 Stanley Cup team for cheap. Ladd to the Isles.

    Good move bringing Campbell back. Will fit right back in as a top 4 d-man.

    Bit of a rough start for the Hawks. Nice to get a win on Saturday. Penalty kill has been awful....think they've give up 7-8 PP goals already. It's going to take a bit for the team to gel with so many young guys on the roster...

    penalties and penalty killing is the problem right now...even strength they are fine... but one thing i will say is that they arent very deep and look a little slower this year

    Check out prices on stubhub....no chance you're getting face value for those tickets for Sunday with the Cubs in the world series.

    I may try and go Sunday night and sit in the 100 level for a decent price.

    Hawks are on fire. 6 in a row. Anisimov and Crawford are both playing great right now.
