Not sure if you guys noticed, but EDM played over 23 minutes last night, and I don’t have the stats but he seemed to be on the ice every time Thomas was on the ice. He was also a +2, however I know the plus/minus could be a skewed stat, unless you’re Bobby Orr and end up the year at something like +127…
Here’s tonight’s actual lineup.
Chicago BlackhawksRyan Donato — Connor Bedard — André Burakovsky
Teuvo Teräväinen — Frank Nazar — Tyler Bertuzzi
Oliver Moore — Ryan Greene — Nick Lardis
Samuel Savoie — Nick Foligno — AJ SpellacyAlex Vlasic — Sam Rinzel
Wyatt Kaiser — Artyom Levshunov
Kevin Korchinski — Nolan Allan
Ashton CumbyDrew Commesso (starter)
Arvid SöderblomSubstitute Mikheyev, Dach, and Reichel for Lardis, Savoiee, and Spellacy and the forward group is ready to go. Add Murphy and EDM on the backend for KK and Allan and rock and roll on 10/7 against the Panthers.
Hey Rico. I tried quoting you, but it got lost in the ether. Regarding del Mastro.
I must be seeing something different. I really like del Mastro, but I’ve seen a very tentative and unsure player in the games he’s played. He’s made some good plays for sure, but he’s been slow on passes and decisions. He worked so hard in Rockford to make quick decisions and drive the puck the other way, it’s been kind of disappointing to see him tentative. Looks like he’s getting this game off along with Murphy.
Pretty much the expected starting lineup playing tonight aside from the Dickinson/Lafferty/Mikheyev line. Lardis, Spellacy, and Savoie playing tonight (not sure on what lines).
He definitely got caught out of position and was exposed a few times pretty badly in that last game. IMO he is only kind of average mobility and quickness so it’s gonna be more about that decision making and experience to help him avoid the pitfalls.
MH, like rpete I have trouble with the quote and too many times my post was flushed. I’m trying to figure out the funk here and avoid the quote most times. And when you don’t quote too often things get lost in translation. ….. A page ago you asked what a deal for KK might bring back. That is what I was answering……
Gotcha. I do get a bit confused myself, esp. when I’m replying to posts from a couple pages earlier.

How did Gryz look yesterday?
In my best Q voice: Fine
How did Gryz look yesterday?
To be honest, I never noticed him.

That’s possibly his exact job if he makes the team.

If you don’t notice Grzelcyk, that’s a good thing, because I’m not a fan of his defensive game.
How did Gryz look yesterday?
……………..
He looked like he always did and what I hoped he’d look like. Gryz showed mobility, the poise of a vet you’d hope for with this young defensive group…… …. He was what you’d hope Megna or Martinez would have looked.
The fancies ain’t too too bad but I liked the D tonight. Artie played well and had his 45% corsi lead the defense. KK had poor fancies but my eye saw a kid maturing physically. ….. No doubt though, IMO Gryz will skate 20 minutes a night for the club.
Really liked the jump Bedard had, a lot. He was hungry and engaged and as the game went on I thought the kid is quiet in a good way. He, and all the top 6, had nice fancies. 54 corsi, 57 fenwick, 9-3 SOG advantage, 4-3 HDCF. Nice night for the kid, very nice. ……. 2 games in a row I like what I saw. How long until MN got a SOG, 10 minutes? The structure was good again and I do realize MN sat at least 4 of their top 6 from what I counted off the top of my head. Regardless, this is 2 games in a row where they showed some danger, didn’t get hemmed in, were connected, acceptable structure and a group that seems like it’s getting the coaching.
For those unsure of Burakovsky you can see the skill and speed this player has. If he’s healthy and has some chemistry with Bedard he’ll be a legit skilled add. Nothing outa Spellacy and Foligno was bad. I hope this ain’t the cliff older players face as they hang on too long.
I didn’t see Vlasic on the ice in the 3rd, is he okay?
Pang and Ball said he was hurt on a play at the far boards. He waved towards the bench for a sub as he skated off. Hopefully it’s only for precautionary reasons.

Thanks, hopefully
I agree LA Kaiser looked good Arty was better, i really like Moore, think Lardis will go to the Rock but if he keeps making the effort he is hell be up here sometime this season.
