A game like this against the AVS is why I wasn’t impressed with Frondell’s hot start.
Yeah, makes me nervous tbh.
He has good size, hopefully he will be okay getting dirty around the net.A game like this against the AVS is why I wasn’t impressed with Frondell’s hot start. Instead of having 8 goals at the time, in the NHL he’d probably have zero. Just using him as an example, he had way too much space, too much time and too crappy goal tending.

In the NFL intentional or not, it’s at least a fine. Intentional is a suspension.
Powers:
“In 10:43 of Bedard and MacKinnon sharing the ice at five-on-five, the Blackhawks had a 15-13 edge in shot attempts,
7-4 in shots on goal, 7-6 in scoring chances and 2-0 in high-danger chances.”
Can’t be ashamed of that.I don’t want the Hawks to be speaking of moral victories.
But it’s okay if we do it.Corey Masisak:
The gap between the Colorado Avalanche and second place in the NHL standings is the same as between second place and 25th.At the game Bertuzzi kept pointing at the big screen. I’ve never seen it before but i believe they actually watched the video since the UC kept playing it over and over and reversed the call.
Watching them vs the Avs this team is so close to being really really good once their processing speed catches up to their physical abilities.
That was much better, but someone has to tell Levshunov to SHOOT THE PUCK! Kudos to the referee for correcting himself, taking away the penalty call. Colorado has such a smothering defense. The Hawks had their chances. It is a learning experience. We are going to get a lot of those this year.
hockey/sport is an escape for the majority of fans
This is true.
A long time ago, I learned to be conscious of the fact that this is a pastime, something to enjoy.
I never became a fair weather fan or bandwagon jumper.
However, I stopped habitually making myself miserable by watching something that irritated me.
I turned off games many times these past 2 seasons when they were making me angry instead of happy.However, there’s more to this issue: constantly, excessively airing one’s grievances on a public forum like this
makes it more difficult for others to enjoy what is supposed to be an escape.
I should not have to apologize for “venting” about what frustrates me, any more than anyone else.
I have just as much right to get frustrated by the ref complaints, as others do to get frustrated by the refs.Dots, you don’t have to explain or apologize for how you feel when you root for your club. There is no right or wrong…… But, and I think I mentioned to you 5-10 yrs ago, it’s too bad that bad calls take that much enjoyment outa the experience for you. .. When all is said and done hockey/sport is an escape for the majority of fans no matter the sport or continent. And we need it.
So, here is a suggestion for the NHL. Institute a rule that reads Any contact with the head, whether intentional or incidental, will result in a game misconduct. Then let’s see how often it happens.
I am fine with any rule change that enhances public safety. But the start of this conversation was about the ref’s cheating cause every call or non-call goes against the Hawks. I guess the Hawks are the only team in the league that complains about the refs
Maybe they still remember when Tom Lysiak dumped a linesman on his ass on a face off cause he didn’t like a call? Or when the old stadium was chanting Ashley is a bum (a very common trait) and Mikita stood in front of him making a conductor’s gesture?
IMO if Bedard wouldn’t have got in the ref’s face, and just skated away and said what he said, no call would have been made. I also thought that instead of a 2 minute penalty, he should have gotten a misconduct. Punish the player, not the team by putting them shorthanded in that instance.
