We need a leader out on the ice. There is absolutely ZERO team cohesiveness on the ice. Something has to happen in net whether it is a personel move or a
head adjustment. The team just does not look sharp. This is not Black Hawks hockey. This looked like something from the late 90's, pre-PK. We are
better than this. Was good to see some energy at the end but I'd like to keep those 4-1, 9-1 and 6-1 scores a little closer. I can see the talent, I can
see the ability but we got outplayed by Omaha and so far, everyone else this season. Let's turn it around tomorrow and use that momentum at the end
tonight and beat Fargo.

The team has its skill players, but the problem isn't up front. We have no leader on defense, and the one who is supposed to be leading the defense has too
many mishaps and has since he has arrived. During key situations in tonight's game I felt we didn't have the players on the ice we should have.
Goal-tending looked really sharp in camp but now it looks like the weakest part of the team. I think a few of the mistakes we have will be fixed with time in
PK's system, but I think until the goal-tending gets addressed we're going to struggle. It'll be an interesting year to see how it all goes down.

I think we have leadership. We don't have goaltending, but we have leadership. Success will not come until the Blackhawks can stop the puck from going
in. You don't practice being 5 goals down. When you go down by a lot of goals, I think everyone on the ice panics a little and tries to be a hero.
I'm not saying that is the right way to do things, but if running the system has got you down 5 goals, maybe it is.
The goaltending is weak right now. Omaha is a good team. With goaltending we would have probably won that game in my opinion. |

I agree with hawksfan. I think we have leadership, but we have a couple goalies who are struggling right now. I think it's important to remember all of the
great goalies we've had in the past and trust that P.K. picked these kids for a reason and has a plan he's going to follow. Also, remember our goalie
pick from the draft (who is the #6 draftable goalie in the U.S. now) did not come to play. Steady improvement in the crease will help both the offense and
defense with their game plans. Nobody likes to lose.... especially the guys on the ice. They haven't given up, so I don't think any of us should
either. Hope we have a sell-out Saturday night! Go Black Hawks!
