Thanks, Frenchy. Man, would be nice if Dach grabs this chance by the throat. When the Hawks get a surprise in the system that outplays his draft status and predictions, I hope it’s a power forward, a Kniess type. Don’t think Dach is a Kniess but he don’t have to be to be effective, especially with Bedard whizzing around and hopefully getting 4 SOG. … North-South, work the walls and make something/chaos in the crease.
What’s Blashill saying. 45-50 starts for Knight this yr or does he want him fresh for Saturday at home v MTL?
Korpisalo is a bottom tier borderline starter last I saw him. Always good to miss Swayman. Hawks have a chance to get to Korpi a bit. …… Interested to see Rinzel after his first bad NHL game. Bet he comes back pretty good.
Bedard has the look, man. The most surety in his game I’ve seen as a pro. Add what his offseason training/skating has done for him and I’m more excited to see him play since his first 15 NHL games.

Bedard one-timer.
Great snipe, 1-1.Dach great job keeping the play alive
I’m becoming a fan of Greene

Dach great job keeping the play alive
Hopefully this means Burakovsky already understands his primary job out there.

I don’t care how much Tab likes him. Dickinson is a liability.
Yea that was dumb of him for not continuing to attack the forward from the opposite side of the other Blackhawks player, does he have zero hockey sense?

Yep, I’ve seen enough of him, move Greene to the third line.

Just gotta say don’t trust a coach to much if he can’t take advantage of am extra guy on the ice, this is concerning
I was somewhat concerned in the preseason but have to admit this is embarrassing
How is that on the coach? The players have been taking a crap all over their face-offs and entries.

Bedard one-timer.
Great snipe, 1-1.snap shot.
Loved that he didn’t wind up for the one timer and instead a sweeping snap shot off in a blink. Combine that with that rocket 1 timer Bobrovsky saved and that’s being super dangerous twice in 2 games off that 1 timer for the kid. Beauty hands/play/feed from Burakovsky. Pass right in the wheelhouse.

OK Rico, for as much as I think Crevier is “just a guy”, he certainly knows when to take an open shot. Love to see it.
6ft 8in, RS Dman, balanced skater. I can make room for a guy like that. Love he’s the 7th Dman so Blashill can spot him to succeed and not overload him. ……. Really wanna see the group get this win. 6 periods now of honest effort. Hope they’re rewarded.

The Hawks have plenty of guys we would all be fine with if the team was good.
Go look at the Cup era team rosters.
Dozens of guys that would have been nothing if the team was bad like now.
They were elevated because the team was so good. -

They really tried to give that game away today. Soda gets the point for this game.
One forward has got to protect the center of the ice in the dzone to many grade A chances for Boston.
Might as well let the kids play if you continue to play 5 and 48 together, yikes
Yeah, Gryz is just a guy there. Outside of not clearing that puck out of his feet hard, he wasn’t horrible, but he’s nothing to get excited about. Outside of Kaiser, Vlasic, and sometimes Murphy, there are a lot of “hope” passes from the backend that become turnovers or icing. Hopefully after about 10 games those numbers come down.

The Bruin’s IMO are definitely in on the McKenna sweepstakes. It is Pasternak and a bunch of third liners and has been
Yea LA, Bruins don’t look like they have much. Didn’t impress in any way.

Anyone notice how often the Hawks come in waves? They gain the zone and often enough they have a man coming in the 2nd tier and then another after him. They’ve done this a few times and it creates fantastic chances. Did that v Florida a couple times too….. Really tough to defend.
You can see the glimmers, it’s just ugly right now. There is very little consistency, and if one guy is having an off night, the entire line just gets buried. The Nazar-TT-Bert line tonight struggled to maintain much of anything. TT couldn’t handle anything on his stick and Nazar looked like he didn’t know what was going on in several occasions.
If Burakovsky can bring this 75% of the time he’ll have a good year.
Off topic – I still don’t know why the D-men are so reluctant to shoot. Especially after Crevier scored, that should have gotten all of them to be more aggressive taking shots from the points. Rinzel seems to mostly take them if he skates it in, and Lev seems kinda lost as to when he wants to shoot (although his move to set-up Burakovsky was really nice).

Well, we found out that the hawks have two pretty good young Goalers
Arty really wants to use his hockey skills to be a difference-maker, but has be seeing doghouse after teasing us with upside and killing the tempoes for his parent club
Complain?
What’s the point? They got a point.Leaf’s first rounder shows why they chose him, not why they traded,Fraser Minton.
