Perhaps most distressing for an organization that has been to the postseason five straight seasons is that, as the game was slipping away during the middle frame, there was no resolve, no sign of being able to arrest the game's shifting momentum.

In the locker room, the term "rock bottom" was bandied about.

"Hopefully, we don't have to go any lower than this," Alzner said.

Sadly, Thursday's loss gives no indication that this team has fully plumbed to the depths it might sink.

Damn.  Is it Baseball Spring Training yet?

So, Washington = Toronto?

[Neil]

I dunno.  Even if Toronto could somehow manage to beat the good teams in the East (the Habs would crush them in a playoff series, for example), Chicago looks pretty much invincible so far.  They've played a quarter of the season, and they've two points short of perfect.  That's ridiculous.

And Chicago has spent almost all of it on the road.

Meh.  The Hawks have all of the makings for a 1st round playoff loss.  They're winning, but they seem...soft.  It's hard to explain.

Lots of time left to add some toughness.

Chicago needs more Carcillo.

[C.C.R.]

Chicago needs more Carcillo.

Actually, yeah, that.  With him out since the first game (which I missed) I totally forgot about him...

That's right.  Rather than cutting off your energy, we're trying 'Let those Eastern bastards freeze in the dark!' via burying you in snow.  Expect more.

Poor Montreal.

Poor Montreal.

I'm finding a new interest for the Maple Leafs.  Up to now, they were just above the Canadiens in my least of all time favorite teams, but after this week-end...  nah
