ParticipantYou know MH you are correct the goalie had a bad night, that happens but what doesn’t happen in the past couple of years is the Blackhawks don’t take advantage of it.
Thanks, I like being correct.
Unfortunately, I cannot figure out what post of mine you are responding to.🤣 I’m old.

ParticipantWith 7 in 11 games, 18 year old Frondell is tied for 3rd for goals in the SHL.
Really excited to read this ! !
He is actually tied with former Blackhawk (2015-2017) legend Dennis Rasmussen.
Okay, I’m not so impressed now.
🤣
The stats are much appreciated though, thanks !

ParticipantFinally figured it out—–
Frank Nazar is ticket scalper Mike Damone from Fast Times at Ridgemont High.“….Now beat it kid. You’re crampin’ my style.”

ParticipantLevshunov is tied for the league lead in 5 on 5 goal differential.

Blackhawks have outscored opponents 6-1 in nearly 55 minutes of Lev 5 on 5 play.I noticed he was doing well there, but I also noticed the Hawks are shooting nearly 30% when he is on the ice.

ParticipantOuta all the stats I’ve seen/heard this is the craziest…… Thru 5 games Bedard has 5 SOG!! 5 shots in 5 games??? On 19 shot attempts!! Tad less the 4 attempts per game. ……. He always had a lotta shots blocked but with his added speed getting him past defenders in the D zone, the overall team speed and danger causing defensive breakdowns, and the kid is looking to dish, the eye seems to think he’s firing the thing.
Bedard has the greatest shot I’ve ever seen and I wanna see the kid in the top 5 of SOG every yr and really, so far, he still hasn’t yet seems dangerous every time he’s on the ice. The kid really is just scratching the surface.

Lev’s PDO is 128!! Playing fantasy a 100 PDO is what shows a mean. A 128 screams regression. ….. Kid has been sheltered big time and he should be in his draft +2 yr at this level. 71% Ozone starts and the kid has responded with a 58%CF.

ParticipantDots, it jacked my response to you about who’s more dangerous, Bedard or Nazar. Last try……. When I posted that question to you before the FLA game I was asking myself the same question. IMO no doubt in that snapshot in time it was Nazar and I was thinking thru what that meant. Since then as the season has gone on it’s Bedard who is more dangerous. .. Forget what your eyes have seen the last 2 yrs of Bedard playing under 2 questionable NHL coaches in the first 2 yrs outa a total teardown. Bedard is trending towards being a top 5-10 most dangerous player in the NHL. .. The switch has flipped on top of Bedard being a very hungry talented player
Nazar is gonna have some bumps. If we see him as being dangerous so do other coaches. He’s not sneaking up on anyone, he’ll get attention and schemes to slow him down………. My guess is the next time, if ever again, we discuss who’s more dangerous Nazar or Bedard it’ll be 4-5 yrs from now.

ParticipantAs the Hawks go for 4 in a row tonight it’s setting up nicely. VAV played in Dallas last night and Bamford reports Lankinan will get the start. ….. All eyes on Reichel I’d assume and I wonder if Blashill will stick with what’s won for him, the 11F 7D lineup.
Some real tough lineup decisions ahead when Slaggert returns and especially if Reichel shows any kinda consistency. …….. I think 4 yrs of drafting BPA has finally resulted with real roster competition, and another wave coming, at every position at the NHL level. Add a hungry young talented team bought into a system that seems to be working we see some damn fun and meaningful hockey.
October 17, 2025 at 4:25 pm #42959Mr Ricochet
ParticipantBamford has the lineups. Reichel in, 11F 7D lineup that’s unchanged from the STL tilt except Knight is in.

ParticipantHard to believe that they still have seven 1st round picks not yet playing with the big club, and two more this coming draft. There will not be room for all of them, however not at that bridge yet.

Allan
Boisvert
Vanacker
Frondell

ParticipantYo LA, My Guy Casper is DET’s 1C flanked by Kaner and Dcat on L1….. He’ll go get the puck for those two, play 2 ways and add giddy up/nose over the puck for that club.

ParticipantIsn’t that their second line? I thought that Larkin and Raymond were part of their first line.
