I went to the game last night with a couple of old friends. The parking cost is ridiculous. For twenty dollars more, you could buy a ticket. I thought they looked quite lethargic. Five minutes into the second period, they had four SOG. What’s that? They need a better coach for the defense. They constantly leave the front of the net to go halfway up the D zone. What I can’t stand is all of the noise in the UC. It is constant. You can’t talk to the guy sitting next to you. I love this team, but I hate that place!
50 points in 51 games not to shabby
71st game last year to get to 51 points
Even though Nazar hasn’t scored he’s an effective hockey player just like Moore.
It’s just nice to see this rebuild working out better than expected and quieting down the insta crowd.
The fun part for me is watching the vets and seeing their limitations on the ice, soon to be replaced by talented top kids who will take this team to another level because of the depth that is going to take place in the next 3 years.
I guess for me this site has its kinks but I’ve figured out if i don’t see the same day game thread, i need to sign in.
Thank you, I really appreciate that. I’m glad the articles are still useful and informative for you.
I understand the frustration with the site — you’re definitely not alone — and I’m thankful you’re still here reading and supporting.Frenchy
Fun to watch Greene, Moore, and Lardis play. If you didn’t notice, they each got a point on the only Hawk goal last night – Greene with the goal assisted by Moore and Lardis. And the othe night Lardis scored in regulation with Moore potting the winner in the shootout. Let’s hope they keep that up.
Especially where’s Boilermaker
I’m still here, but mostly to read Frenchy’s informative articles and not to post comments. I can’t say this enough – there is great content here, thanks to Frenchy. But, as others as mentioned, there are times I’m frustrated with the workings of this site.
Thank you, I really appreciate that. I’m still delivering the same level of work, even if I’m now covering a few teams. Yes, I’m French Canadian and I cover the Canadiens every day as well.
I’ve always tried to write the game with a different pair of eyes — to help fans understand what’s really happening on the ice.
Thought Soderblom tracked the puck and his reads were as good as he’s able… The point earned is as good as a fan could hope for against a cup winning coach/systems after winning on the road the night before at Carolina that makes you earn every inch of ice.
Blashill’s systems/structure is really starting to take hold as players are bought in and are damn near being properly placed allowing execution up and down the lineup by a really young team developing at the NHL level.
But, I came to post about Guentzal since they play TB. After watching Lardis play at least parts of 25 games post draft and a bunch of film I struggled for a comparison. And then Guentzal popped into my mind…….. The main similarity to me was his uncanny ability to find dangerous open soft ice and if the puck finds him in that open ice he’s an assassin.
Pucks fly of his stick in a nano second, he’s deadly accurate with his shot, he has a goal scorers instinct in that he knows how the goalie will be moving and uses the goalies movement/physics against him, he handles bad pucks at an elite level allowing him to get hard, quick accurate shots off with wobbly not flat pucks and his one timer is elite. IMO Bedard watches Lardis more that any teammate especial Lardis’ one timer.
A lot like Guentzal. …… Right now Lardis is the deadliest Hawk in high danger zones, just like Guentzal.
