Bad weekend for the Hawks after losing to the Bruins they get easily beaten at home by the worst team in the western conference (Avs)5-1.

The Hawks just seem to be treading water at the moment,they can't get higher than 4th and until recently they had a big lead over the 5th placed team but they need to start picking it up again or the rest of the teams will be catching them up in the standings.

Seems the team have suffered from losing a well liked & popular character in Wisneiwski. Sounds like Pahlsson may still be a couple of weeks from icing for the Hawks.
Hopefully Hawks are just settling for 4th place and home advantage now. Quennville didn't sound a happy guy by his comments. Worry is now Havlat may be out for a while.

I see a lot of games went to OT and SO again last night giving points to both teams.I think it makes for a close playoff race but I think it's time to give more incentive to teams to win in regulation so it should be 3pts for a win in 60 mins and 2pts for a win in OT or SO.

Chicago lose again last night and what these last few weeks have shown is that Khabby will be the starter in the playoffs as Huet hasn't stepped up while Khabby has been injured.

Leafs go to OT for the 22nd time this season, turning a 3-0 deficit into a 4-3 SO win against the Lightning , John Mitchell getting the winner.

Hawks lose again this time to the Devils making it a season high 3 game losing streak. Since Wisneiwski was traded the Hawks have been poor, admittedly they are missing Sharp but thats no excuse for the poor performances. Its as if they have given up for the season.

Hopefully Quenneville can regather the players and get them to focus for the remaining games of the season to keep hold of home advantage for the first round of the playoffs.

Still think questions need to be asked why Tallon traded Wisneiwski for Pahlsson as this seems to have ripped some of the heart out of the team.

Had recorded the game and watched it last night. Admittedly, I haven't seen too much of the Hawks this season, but they didn't look like the team I saw earlier in the season.
