“A decision like this isn’t made on one game, one play, or one specific thing,” general manager Stan Bowman said during Tuesday’s press conference at MB Ice Arena, the Hawks’ practice facility. “It’s sort of a collection of things. Certainly the road trip was concerning. But I think even heading into that there were some elements to our game where they weren’t where they needed to be. It’s not just based off the record of the team, so it’s more a totality of circumstances than it is just based on one specific game.”
