It's unbelievable how the wheels have fallen off for the Hawks! I was (mostly) just messing around projecting a 10 game losing streak, but now it looks like an almost certainty. Going up against the hottests team in the East with a 0-9-1 record going into the game ..... At least the Blue Jackets are waiting on the other side of the Rags for some relief.

I am starting to wonder if they'll defeat the Blue Jackets.  They are playing badly in every facet of the game.

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.

Let's go Yoooteess!!!!! I think it's 7 straight games with a point (6 wins 1 OTL) if I'm not mistaken? They can't handle the desert baby!

Much thanks to Radim Vrbata's career year, and Mike Smith doing amazing between the pipes.

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.

Amp you should be watching Chicago now as they got Colombus and the chance you were hoping for.

Colorado finally beats a division rival. Well, it was my division's equivalent to Columbus, but still a win.

Datsyuk... just... wow! I don't care who you cheer for as a team, you've gotta give it up for what this guy does on the ice. Last night was textbook Datsyuk. The first things that come to mind when trying to describe how he plays are selfless and skill.

Datsyuk is an idiot and a loser because of the team that he plays for.  :p

All the the red wings players are the spawn of Satan literally hence the red and wings signifying fallen angels.

Also, when the goals I see by him are done it is usually against team I like so I usually think, "I hope somebody gets in a fight with this guy, or cross checks him into the boardsknocking him out  before he can do more damage."
