and realistically the hawks even after having that tough month still can make a great season, they are only a few points out of 5th or now in 5th
this team still is not tough enough though, they did nothing in the off season that addressed that problem and its going to cost them...I think they will make the playoffs, but barring any personnel moves I don't think they are going to get far for the same reason they didn't last year....against the better teams the Hawks struggle becasue those teams have players that not only can score but they play physical as well..Detroit, San Jose, Vancouver, St louis (even though they beat them today, i don't think we could beat them in a 7 game series) it took a flukey goal today just to get ahead
I just don't know what Bowman is waiting for, is he waiting for another early exit in the playoff to prove that his off season moves sucked?? we have 7 million in cap space and its clear this team still needs help.
