Greene surprises me of how strong he is on his skates
Dach keeps his play up he’ll replace Bertuzzi on the top line
IMO it’s shaping up that we’ll see both Greene and Moore sent down. I think Joey Anderson will get sent down through waivers once healthy. I think Slaggert will get slotted in on line 3 and Lafferty on line 4. Reichel will probably stick around unless traded or injury gets him back in or he gets a shot in the lineup.
To me, they still have Bertuzzi in the top 6 when he isn’t playing up (last season) to the level of a top 6 guy. Plays small for his size and unless he is fed backdoor goals by more skilled players, doesn’t accomplish much. If he doesn’t improve I hope they send him a message by moving him down the lineup and giving someone else his spot in the top 6.
The Detroit goals were basically.
1) Bad turnover with Bedard carrying the puck over the attacking blueline followed up by a bad pinch by Murphy which resulted in odd man rush against. It was a couple mistakes that you don’t want to see come regular season and the two Hawks back EDM and Burakovsky were in a tough spot, but also didn’t manage to do much either.
2) Breakdown of coverage left a Redwing wide open in the slot as they moved the puck around and behind the net.
3) End of a powerplay and Rinzel got outworked by a fresh Redwing just on the ice (I believe he came out of the box) as he stripped Rinzel of the puck and set up a goal on the rush.
All in all, the Hawks are still adjusting to the new scheme but we are seeing the odd rookie mistakes or mental errors. Overall, it’s only 4 games in the preseason (small small sample) but they are still playing like a bottom 5 defensive team. (so far) I’m curious to see how they are playing after the first 15 games or so.
No comments about the game? I still am cableless and watch the games via the App on my iPhone. The Detroit goals came when I was eating dinner so didn’t see their quality. The Hawks looked decent offensively but couldn’t capitalize on chances- especially the PP. Good puck movement though.
This thing back up? Per their Facebook page HHS is migrating from a shared server to a dedicated server. Traffic capacity and database needs to be increased. Looks like we lost some of the September 30 posts.
Our Chicago group crashed it.
The Wings structure is really good. They look so much like the Bolts style of play. Constantly on the right side of the puck with support
Can Dach play like this all season? He looks great

Alex Vlasic is day to day with a lower-body injury and will be reevaluated in the coming days, per the team
Hopefully not the dreaded AA groin injury.
There’s a lot of speculation that he got cut with a skate blade. If not that, I’d say Knee/Ankle injury looking at the replay of when he got injured.
