To think one guy (Oduya) is responsible for this....is beyond ridiculous. Completely ignores the great play from Stalberg & Sharp, Kane & Hossa, Shaw, Kruger improving, entire defense corps, goaltenders....etc.

Didn't say he was the only reason but he has helped this team and made the Hawks better. Without Oduya the Hawks would be playing Lepisto, O'Donnell, and Olsen during this Duncan Keith suspension. We really needed a depth defenseman that is good all around and Oduya brings that. I shutter to think what would have happened this year if Oduya wasn't acquired. We might be in 9th right now.
I think it's mostly a case of effort level. It clearly didn't seem to be there during the losing streak. Last night was a good example. The Hawks outworked the Predators for a big chunk of that game. When was the last time that happened?

Yea, toews is an overrated leader clearly. The team loafed around when he was there. He's gone and all of a sudden, the effort is 10x better. We should trade him for two first round picks and future considerations, we clearly don't need him.

Not sure if you're trolling or completely missed my point....?

I actually agree with that statement in regards to one player, Patrick Kane. I think not having Toews during the stretch run has forced Kane to step up and hopefully Kane can keep it going once The Captain is back.

Could also be that Kane is simply more effective as a center these days.
1. P. Sharp
2. B. Seabrook
3. P. Kane
4. M. Hossa
5. Goaltending
30. Powerplay
All the above carried the team
To leave out the grit that A. Shaw and Bollig have brought is beyond crazy. Because of them, we are not only able to roll 4 lines, but we get to see guys like bickell finally finishing checks because these guys apparently have rubbed off on him. The softness of the team prior to that made me want to turn the games off.
