Take that Rangers...

HaHa, the Blackhawks colllapse has looked like the avalanche's collapse last season in which they almost lost them all in the back half. It would be really cool if this victory over such a good team is the first sign they can get back to winning.

I just hope that they make the playoffs so they don't get their coach fired.  It's honestly not his fault. 

They should be ashamed of themselves how they are playing.

Quenville is one of the better coaches in the league as I would know from him being in Colorado at two points. Teams can be quick to release coaches which can be a mistake. I know it worked increadibly for the blues, but i would say coach Q is too good to let go. The Avs made that mistake and they have certainly not gotten any better head man since. Have not seen many hawks games lately to really ayalyze the mistakes. I just know the first part of the season they had reliable goaltending and a very consistant offense. So whatever happened if they get back to winning the goaltending must be good. Keeping the games below two goals a game to ensure at least a point every game will have to be the key.

The goaltending actually isn't the problem.  It's everything else.  The goals scored on the Hawks are usually from give aways in front of the net.  Also, they have been scoring less than two goals a game during their losing streak.  Not good.
