I apologize for the lack of updates during the season, by computer seriously s**t the bed, and I was losing updates in the middle of posting them and it was getting aggravating to say the least. The playoffs are all set, and there are some new faces in the Western Conference looking to make a push. As far as the Hawks go, a very weird season, up and down all year. The one thing that remained consistent was the defense and goaltending, it was solid all year. The odd thing about the year is the offense disappeared for long stretches. It was a head scratcher as the team we built should have no issues with scoring. Seemed like when the top 6 was going good everyone was contributing, but when they hit the skids there was no secondary scoring. As the deadline came and went, we didn't make any moves, the thought was to possibly acquire a goal scoring RW, but the asking price seemed way to high for us. We will see how it goes, thanks to a weaker than normal division this year we were able to secure the top spot in the Central with 99 points. Home ice is important for us, hopefully we can make use of it on another run to the Cup. Thanks again for following, and sorry for the delay's.
