The writing was on the wall with Reichel. If he couldn’t figure out KD had a type in drafting guys who competed defensively that’s on Reichel.
I am 100% for developing and giving your prospects chances, but if that player doesn’t have that inner dog in him it’s always best to cut ties with them.
Reichel never showed any game, either last season or this season. He obviously didn’t show much in practice either. If he thought he was cutting it he was way off. I don’t think we’re talking about Patrick Sharp going from Philly to Chicago. More like Alex Nylander.
Boiler i read that article by Frenchy which was good, it wouldn’t let me post.
I saw snippet somewhere that said the last time or only kid his age was over a point per game in the KHL was Kaprizov.
You know me boiler I’m really excited about the pipeline. One day they are going to be suffocating as a team.
Yeah it’s great knowing that your pipeline has some youth that are associated statistically with superstars at a young age, with Kantserov being mentioned with Kaprisov, and Frondell with Pasternak and Nylander. Of course these are just stats, and anything can happen, but just watching these two with the skills that they possess, it’s just exciting to imagine what this team will morph into.
Thanks Coach for this write up. Made my day. Now hopefully the Hawks take it to the Kings!

And some of the other prospects had good games last night.
Boisvert with an assist in BU’s 3-1 win.
Mustard with a goal and assist in Providence’s win.
Vanacker with a goal (empty netter) and assist in Brantford’s win.
Nestrasil with a goal and an apple in UMass’s loss.
Gajan give up 1 goal in UMD’s 4-1 win. He is now 7-1 on the season with a 1.25 GAA and .938 Save %.Frenchy wrote about Kantserov today.

Yea i saw all that info by Powers.
I personally feel the Blackhawks are creating way more pressure on the puck in the defensive zone, so less time and space and limiting the opponent to less assists across the middle of the ice.
I equate analytics to this, the 1985 bears had one of the best defenses ever, the 1986 Bears defense set the NFL record for allowing the least amount of points against in a season. Analytically the 1986 bears defense was better but everyone knows the 1985 Bears defense was probably one of the best ever.
From Scott Powers’ article today:
“Hawks are allowing, on average, more shot attempts, more shots on goal, more scoring chances and more high-danger chances than they did last season.Also,
overall:
defensive zone percentage 43.8 ranks 31st
offensive zone percentage 38.3 ranks 32ndat even strength:
defensive zone percentage 42.8 ranks 28th
offensive zone percentage 38.7 ranks 29thAs disappointed as i am that Reichel could barely find his inner dog, I’m excited to see the team defense get better and knowing we got a few kids at the Rock that have that compete in their DNA.
Wow, you’re going back a lotta yrs if you were reading Al at HB. Sucks you couldn’t post but I remember you from somewhere. I don’t get around to too many message boards on the internets but I could swear I know a Haru from somewhere. .. You post anywhere else under that name?
No. That’s just the name of the central character of a Japanese TV drama about hockey in Japan.
