If this is Soda’s standard game and not the exception, the Hawks are going to be in good hands in net this year.
Soda’s been solid for awhile now in games where he limits the rebound chances. He does a great job of squaring up the shooter to make himself big but when he moves his body upward in doing so, his pads go from slightly inward downfacing (which causes the puck to go downward) to flat so if the puck hits his pads while he’s in the motion of squaring up, he’s extremely vulnerable to giving up juicy nuggies on the doorstep.
Watching last night one thing was obvious team speed is nice but the team that played with more discipline and structure won last night. Something i hope Blashill instills in the team.
As is normally the case. The most disappointing thing to me yesterday was that Blashill said he wants to get everyone shooting more. There were more deferrals yesterday than at a college admissions office.
I like Dach, but I don’t think he’ll be much more than a bottom sixer. I just don’t think he can play at the higher pace. (not just based on this game)
Outside of the chance in the 1st, Reichel was invisible to me.
Lafferty is still where puck possession goes to die.
Kaiser seemed to be the most effective defenseman. I think he’s a great partner for Arty.
If this is Soda’s standard game and not the exception, the Hawks are going to be in good hands in net this year.That last goal is completely on Bedard for a garbage turnover win his own zone.
With a devil may care attitude, Chunk. The turnover was weak the “attempt” to get the puck back was pathetic. … Bedard looked the same to me except he’s a tad thicker. .
Well that kind of depends, doesn’t it? After a turnover in your own zone, what are his responsibilities? If I had to guess, he’s not allowed to just chase the puck all over the zone until he gets it back. It was bad, but it’s also preseason playing with a bunch of guys he hasn’t much in practice and who likely won’t be with the club to start the year.
Point it out, learn, and move on…
I want to see how he does with Burakovsky and Donato. I’ll also hold any judgement on Nazar until I see him back with TT and Bertuzzi. They both looked very disjointed and unsure to me yesterday.

Nothing to read much into though. A bunch of lines that won’t be playing in the reg season. Not great to see EDM struggle so much. Soda being a brick wall was nice to see.
For sure. There were not any “OMG” jumps from the youngsters, woulda been nice.
Soda still kinda swimmy and some rebounds seemed kinda off. Thankfully he looked like last year Soda and not ’23/24 Soda.
EDM and Arty showed us why Gryz is here.Big pile of ~meh~ tonight.
