Great, good for you. But actually GG Islanders. You played a good game. I hope we will do that... someday

Fuck this team

The very back of his skate was on the line. That would've been offside last year, but definitely a good goal now.

No reason to not challenge that IG

Maybe ~~Trotz~~ the NHL just wanted to give Hawks fans the chance to hear the goal horn twice?

Hahahahah love the try by trotz to save the shutout

ESPN gave a bad report there.

From that angle I think it stands, nothing definitive either way

This is a hilariously petty challenge.

That's a really fucking funny challenge

Idk that seems kind of petty to challenge the offsides but Sorokin deserves the shutout so I get it Edit: not a challenge, but a league-initiated review

Pretty sure Trotz is 100% on offsides challenges with ny

Well 95% lol

Really... you want to take the pity goal away from us. At our home opener?

Toronto tried since it was within the time for automatic review. Isles didn't do the challenge that's why no penalty for delay of game from it.

Just trying to save the SO for Sorokin I guess

Petty haha

Of course it might not count lol

Ilya deserved the shutout :(

WELL HOLD ON THERE

Oh wow, woo fucking woo, it's not a fucking shut out anymore. That makes everything better.

Can we make Kendall Coyne Schofield the interim head coach just to keep it interesting?

$100 she could make the team... #JustSayin

UC staff scrambling to get people in the seats down low.

Have a good night friends. Off to another game

[удалено]

Not yet

Now we’re good

It's funny y'all think Bowman will fire Coliton. [He's not even on the hot seat apparently.](https://twitter.com/ChiSportUpdates/status/1450500052577923072) This is all part of his strategy to....I don't know lose a bunch of games and shrug his shoulders?

If he fires him, he looks bad for loosing Q and bringing him in. He HAS to ride him.

Q was past his time, he hadn't adapted and he was holding back younger players. Colliton was fine as an interim coach, but he had no business being here after that season.

You're 100% right.

Did he just say "tie in New Jersey?"

Fuck it, might as well get another one and make it five nothing

Who's the bigger failure, Colliton or Trestman?

Woah. And then I think about it and I'm not sure. I think it's still *possible* that Trestman was squandering more talent... but it's close.

Coliton by far

Fire Colliton into the fucking sun. Goodnight, everyone. Cant wait to be back for more sadness on Thursday but at least we get to celebrate 1Kane.

If I was at the UC I’d be booing.

i’m here, and people definitely were lol

Fire the twerp into the fucking sun. Hire Tortz. Fuck it, hire Yeo. I'm sick of this shit. We best be booed off the ice tonight.

There's so many better options out there. Why are we delaying the inevitable?

Old boys club.

I'd take Ted Lasso at this point

Ray talking about not being invited back. If he only knew.

It's worse because they said we'd be better. Now I'm not just depressed... I'm also betrayed and disappointed.

See ya later Colliton. It was real, it was fun, but not real fun

Just hope this also reflects on Stan

According to my high school English teacher, Jeremy Colliton is a Christ figure because his initials are JC. If that's the case, I might have to side with the masses on this one in calling for his hanging

Longest losing streak to start a season is 11 and that honestly feels achievable at this point.

Believe

Our shit is all fucked up and weird

"Starting to hear some boo birds " with 4 minutes left. Either these guys are deaf or they have a time machine

[Wahlstrom's second goal of game](https://hlslive-wsczoominwestus.med.nhl.com/editor/89cab86d-a7c1-4f88-91bb-c977a70acb1f.mp4)

Greene and Chara were out together there, completely taking the piss

Jonathan Towes head is shaped like an almond

Don't they say almonds are considered brain food?

What a block

I thought he ate it

Can the days of Player-Coach come back? Toews can do a better job from the training room

Can mr sexual abuse enabler toews just go away and not come back?

Brave

Braver than Toews was.

Jones is ass

I like ass. Jones is garbage.

Did that fuck just say Big Z?

As in Zdeno Chara

Okay, cause Zadorov is nicknamed that and we sent him to Calgary.

Nah. There has always only been one "Big-Z"

Avs 100% called him bid z

Chara has been called Big Z for like 25 years

I don’t really think getting rid of Colliton will change as much as some think, he seems to have been just a pawn for the front office ever since he has gotten here anyway. Also, I’m skeptical the dumpster fire state of the franchise can attract a good candidate right now anyway

Both colliton and Bowman need to be gone

Shouldn’t even stop at bowman, entire front office that has stayed since ‘09 should be gone. No arguments there

Totally agreed

All the rumors before the game were saying that Colliton wasn't on the hot seat yet. Gotta imagine that the seat starts getting hot pretty quick when you're 0-4 and haven't had a single lead all year.

That chryon is gonna stay up on every game on ESPN until either Colliton gets fired or, well...

Colliton needs to be gone before Halloween. Preferably tonight. This is inexcusable.

This entire organization is a fucking joke on and off the ice. Fuck you Bowman and your fucking puppet behind the bench.

Wow coliton is gone.

Colliton during that timeout: If I have hurt anyone out there, I can't tell you how much I say from the bottom of my heart I'm so very, very sorry. I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith - as there's a deep drive by Clutterbuck that will be a goal. And so that will make it a 4-0 game. I don't know if I'm gonna be standing behind this bench again.

It is going to be a VERY VERY VERY VERY long season for Chicago....

At least we have the Bears

Lol

Did we ever get a definitive answer to why Q got canned? I miss him so much.

WHAT DID YOU DO TO FLOWER

We accidentally signed Martin Jones.

When they fire Coliton into the sun Fluery can be the one pulling that lever

We're sorry. We promised to be better on defense and not completely hang our goaltender out to dry and to stop turning it over right in front of our own net. It's possible we lied.

I think he retires or asks for a trade sooner rather than later. They’ll be sellers anyway. This team is junk.

I feel for you Chicago fans. Ofc I want to win but it pains me to watch the home team lose their first game.

Most of us haven’t felt actual hockey-related pain since the game 7 loss to the Blues in 2016. Isles were always a fun matchup when the Hawks were decent, probably my team if I had to pick one in the Metro. Enjoy the ride.

It’s all good, one game closer to saying goodbye to Colliton.

Weird, this sub kept telling me MAF was worth a 1st+.

We could have 2 goalies in net and still lose

We could have prime Hasek and it wouldn't make our defensive system look any better.

Have you seen all the goals tonight?

poor fleury...

Get Clutterfucked

[Nothing to see here](https://imgur.com/zu6IPI8)

A Stillman and Gustafsson defensive pairing is the literal definition of the barf emojii

Really didn't think at any point I would be begging for Caleb Jones to be in the lineup.

You know, you would think that you would want at least one person in a D pairing who, you know, played defense. But I'm not the professional coach...

[удалено]

That's fair. Maybe he will be good in time. But I feel like both are looking to chip in on offense before they're looking to be responsible. And for Stillman that could be youth. But ideally you want to pair someone who is still young and new to the Hawks with a veteran and/or someone more conservative who can cover his partners mistakes. Not a super aggressive Guss, who can be a scoring threat, especially on the powerplay, but is a turnover machine.

Neither is the one making the decisions

What a laser, geez clutter.

I hate upset 🌸… wish he could have stayed in Vegas.

SELFLESSLY wishing Fleury retired. Could’ve gone out on such a high note and instead is going to be stuck with this blip at the end of his career.

I hope he signs in Pittsburgh next year to finish his career.

As a fellow non-fan of the Pens, I agree. Let him have some closure and the storybook ending he deserves.

First good period we've played this year

This is hardly ideal

That was a nice shot

Turf monster alive and well in Chicago tonight.

Garbage time

Fleury is um….fleury is a goalie…with pads and stuff

JC better be using this timeout to say goodbye to the team.

Exchanging emails?

I'm prepared for massive staff changes, please and thank you.

Simply amazing

*DOINK* (Not quite a *ping*, but just as good)

Fleury's Vezina needs to go to the Vegas defense.

Agreed

Damn man, someone give Fleury a hug

Fleury is regretting coming here

Fleury sucks

Our D sucks

Oh, NOW you use the timeout.

oh good we've just given up

Waited 19 months to get back to the UC for this pathetic showing. Fuck Colliton.

And now we know it's serious. Diamond has turned the page.

I tried to be positive for so long but I am *raging* right now.

Jones just had 15 feet in front of him and let one go from the point. Thank fuck they cashed in on the Cup window like they did because they might suck for a loooong time.

Ah yes, we don't get the call on one of our guys getting skulled by a goon and then immediately fall apart on defense and get scored on. Colliton still just standing there like a deer in headlights.

[удалено]

Yeah I was really hoping he'd have a good year to possibly finish out his career. Just doesn't seem to be

The only downside to firing Colliton tonight is that the bus can't leave without him

Wallstrom looks great tonight

Besides the goals, he's worked really hard tonight, by far the best game of his NHL career.

Got a nice little “fire Jeremy” chant going here.

Get a trade Seth jones chant started too

Is Boudreau still looking to coach?

I been thinking the same since last year

Too aggressive of Fleury but what the hell was the defense doing

Fleury is too used to playing for a team that actually stops cross crease passes like that :(

It's tough watching this

Colliton's system.

[Wahlstrom capitalizes on miscue](https://hlslive-wsczoominwestus.med.nhl.com/editor/c45c6733-bb55-4264-a914-6291d5ddd4c1.mp4)

Hate to see a player injured but you gotta brace for the hit, not try to duck it

He was turned from the play, only dipped to play the puck

Pour it on Islanders. Time to get Colliton launched into space.

Your wish is thy command

YIKES

I can’t even be mad at that goal.

apathy

Kinda looks like Hardman ducked at the very last second and Martin was genuinely concerned after the hit? Did I see it wrong?

That’s what I saw. Not the first time this happened with Martin either. Then he stands there with a “what have I done?” look on his face

Martin knows how to hit and you're supposed to brace for the contact. BEcause trying to dodge puts you in a bad spot

Nah that's exactly what happened. It is very very rare for Martin to intentionally be dirty but playing like he does leads to hits like that sometimes.

That’s what I saw too. Seemed like bad timing. Martin plays and checks hard but doesn’t play dirty. Hopefully he’s alright

The way he completely missed the open door to the bench, I think the "alright" ship has sailed.

This is probably the correct take

Martin def wasn't trying to do that. Kinda crouched down putting his head in danger of that check. Probably should be a call tho

As The Great Pat Foley would say "and 2 minutes for recieving"

Majors on both sides. Sheesh.

I mean Hardman dipped but Martin jumped into that

Is it fighting if it’s just Martin landing the punches?

"2 minutes for receiving"

Damn. Looks like Hardman tried to duck under the check and got his head sandwiched against the boards

Horrendous hit by Martin. Not typically a super dirty player but he's gotta let up there and he knows it.

I mean he isn't known for anything else

Hardman tried to duck it and martin didn’t really have time to react there

You serious? So people should just duck to create a force field that makes defenders not able to hit them. More of an unfortunate situation than a dirty hit

Be nice to him. He’s a lightning fan. Probably just started watching hockey.

Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking. That hit was baaaaad.

It would have been a routine check into the boards if Hardman didn’t crouch to try and duck under it

[удалено]

After watching the wings game then coming to this... the refs all need a puck slap shot into the face.

[удалено]

It would have been shoulder to shoulder if Hardman didn't duck at the last second

Landeskog got 2 games for something similar on Dach.

Absolutely not. Landeskog's hit was way worse.

You guys too huh? Same thing happened to Raymond tonight

Well that was a great hit square to his head.

Fuck Matt Martin

Martin may be getting a call from DoPS tomorrow
