first a powerplay goal AGAINST us and then a SHORT HANDED goal?
whats this mini-slump were hitting?
at least muskegon isnt playing tonight with the opportunity to go 6 points ahead of us (at this point of the game)...
AND, what took Kostadine so long to fight Schrock? i mean really, he wasted 1-1/2 whole seconds?
i tell ya, were slipping here...
EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT
so we tie the game and give up the go ahead (winning) goal FIVE SECONDS later?
and then another goal less than a minute and half later?
okay, im not joking around now, we ARE slipping...

Whats the deal with Drulia not pulling the goalie? Were down by 2 with a minute left and he just gave up. After being so critical on players after the effort against Flint you would think he would set a better example. I'm not one to jump on the fire Drulia bandwagon, but tonight was by far the worst coaching I've seen this season by him. Drulia should get his sh*t together and practice what he preaches.

Okay, first off, relax. It's two games. I wasn't there nor did I watch the game online, but it's a slump. We've hit a wall the past two games. It happens, but we as fans can NOT be asking for the head of the coach because we lose two games in a row and because we don't pull the goalie with less than a minute left. The chances of scoring one goal with a 6 on 5 is low, but to score 2 in that time frame is even lower.

I agree wir48, pulling the goalie with 1:30 left in the game and faceoff in FW's end was a no-brainer, I'm still scratching my head. Gotta hand it to FW, Sims had them well prepared with a good game plan, and they stuck with it and kicked our butts. They took it to us physically from the opening faceoff, hitting everything in sight, and wore us down. We were looking over our shoulders all night, unable to make plays. The Hawks did fight hard, but what a disappointment after tying it up and then letting in the two goals so quickly. Yes, It's just a mini slump, and we're still in second, but we need to refocus and step it up physically. Ref sucked also, status quo there though lol.

I cant believe we loses in front of a Sell-out crowd and loses last night against fort wayne if we keep playing like this it we will be in third place by the middle of this month. Come on Druila get your act together get a first place team going. we play like this we can kiss are ass good bye in the first around.

What's odd is in the pre-game show on the radio Sunday, Stuckey was talking about how upset Drulia was that hit team didn't complete their checks Saturday night. And of course they didn't finish too many then during Sunday's game either...

This could get ugly by weeks end.. we could be looking at a 6 game losing streak. I think the boys are getting a little complacent after all this success. Don't look now but Fort Wayne is in our rear view window and coming on strong.

its actually three games...
i know youre not addressing that to me, but ill chime in (if you dont mind) im not questioning the coach or the strategy...
youre right it COULD get ugly. and if the boys dont pay a little bit more attention to execution, we might have a few more no-point games. i dont know if well lose the next three but...
Fort Wayne could very well race on past if we dont take care of fundamentals. complete passes to OUR teammates and completion of checks...
not a hockey player (anymore) not a hockey coach (ever) not a hockey commentator (ever)
just my 2 cents...

I agree Were just in a MINI slump right now, Its gonna be alright! We cant play the whole season perfect. But the last few games our Puck handeling has been sloppy. but we sure did have alotta chances to score against fort wayne. Lets just hope our Hawks can came up with some Wins on the road this week.
