I feel like an overarching theme in this game centered around the same problems as last year. Number one, our defense just sucks. Forget just stopping rushes, we cant pass the puck or even trust our dmen to skate the puck in general. Number two, this team is SLOOOWWWWWW. My god I cant stand slow teams and the hawks have always been known for speed. Albeit 3 plus years ago. So I'm a little nervous for this season for the first point, but I'm terrified for this team because of the second point. Also, small note, but besides Toews, we don't have a single center on the team or in the system that can win faceoffs. Jesus......
A bigger issue now is how do we fix this. I know this is one game, but this is not a playoff team. Suffice to say, I don't think we have any players either in the farm system or we could trade for that could change that. We need skaters, we more speed, and we really need to get dmen who can actually move the puck. Unless our prospects in the AHL take a big step this year, we could be in some trouble for a few years as well. I know I'm being a pessimist, but I really need to be realistic with this team considering how terrible they've been for two years.
