Not a Hawks parent, but c'mon. Bashing a defense for giving up an average of 3.3 goals a game against some very good teams is a little silly. Not sure who #50 is either, but he'll probably cringe if he sees dad's post. I get wanting to stick up for your kid, but the Hawks don't need it because their play does the talking.
And to the anonymous posters criticizing these kids: Why not put your expertise to work helping your own kid's team? I'm sure after 1 practice with you your kid's D would have all their communication issues and slide packages fixed.
Also, the Hawks coach must be some kind of genius to take all of these soft, untalented defenseman and turn them into the stingiest unit in the DMV. Can't have it both ways haters: either the kids are pretty good or the coaching is pretty good. Or maybe even both?
