wouldn’t want anything over a 10 min. OT.
Longer in-season OT has been suggested buy callers/emails in Friedman’s podcast a few times.
He always mentions that it’s a non-starter with the league.<p class=”userway-s15-active” data-userway-s15-styled=”true” style=”font-family: UDF, serif !important; transition: all;”>Was interesting to see Arty leading the D men in ice time through two periods.
I believe he was 2nd only behind Vlasic.<p class=”userway-s15-active” data-userway-s15-styled=”true” style=”font-family: UDF, serif !important; transition: all;”>Rinzel got the sheltered zone starts,and had a solid game.
<p class=”userway-s15-active” data-userway-s15-styled=”true” style=”font-family: UDF, serif !important; transition: all;”>Bedard’s FO numbers up to 48%,not bad considering how bad he started the 1st few games of the season.

I think the Kings only have 6 regulation wins,and have played 13 games on the road and only 7 at home!
Montreal and San Jose – both doing well in the standings,but both have a lot of OT wins.<p class=”userway-s15-active” data-userway-s15-styled=”true” style=”font-family: UDF, serif !important; transition: all;”>I think I’m in the minority when I say I hate 3 on 3 OT hockey
I hate 3 on 3 and the shootout. Can’t say what would be better but wouldn’t want anything over a 10 min. OT.
Anybody else think Bedard got tripped before his empty netter?
I thought it was a trip,but he got the empty netter anyways.
Nice save by Arvid too,right before 98 hit his EN.I think it could come in handy on the PK at some point.
Throw Mikheyev a bone too,I’m sure he could do the same.Was interesting to see Arty leading the D men in ice time through two periods.

I don’t think anyone would have thought that Chicago would be top 5 in GA/G and GF/G both at around the quarter point of the season. The team is a +16 GF vs GA on the season through 19 games. I know the momentum will slow down but it’s giving the team confidence that is helping these young players push each other. Fun to see them taking steps towards being a solid team.
Bedard is really breaking out now after maturing for a couple seasons as a teenager. I would argue that offensively he is every bit as dangerous as Patrick Kane was at his peak, but this kid is only 20 and still likely to improve. I spoke a lot last year about how he needed that explosiveness on the attack to put defenders on their heels and he has delivered it. He makes some unbelievable passes to set up teammates, but I have to say he is really good with his feet too, and his ability to pivot and attack with speed is evident. Glad to see him finally getting to the point where he isn’t pushed around so much by the physical play in the NHL. His overall game, even away from the puck is growing as he just battles better, wins more pucks and makes a bigger impact.
The kid pretty much shattered the narrative that Chicago needed to “Get him help” by adding big expensive free agents to his line. He just needed time to mature more than anything.
Overall it’s been nice to just see more overall offensive depth. Donato/Teravinen/Bertuzzi were the supporting offensive pieces after Bedard, but adding Burakovsky, Nazar, and recently Moore, the Hawks are just a more balanced attacking team, especially when you consider the little extra we get from Mikheyev, Greene, Dach. We could be scary good offensively down the road here with some of the talent coming up.
