It’s also nice to see a team that wants to attack the puck. Win 50 50 puck battles play in the hard areas, block shots.
Vs the Flames they made them look old and slow, McLellan said after the Wings loss we need to be harder to play against, we need to go to the dirty areas and win 50 50 battles
As much as i wanted Kurashev and Reichel to be better it’s nice that we pretty much got rid of our last 2 floaters on this team.
It’s so hard to motivate someone when they don’t have it within themselves. I appreciate this scouting department realizing that is an important trait in a young hockey player.
I’m liking the vets that have brought in. Burakovsky for nothing has been a great add, Mikheylev for a 2nd round draft pick and price retention another great add. Teuvo and Burt. Made a mistake signing Brodie, addressed it, brought in Grzelcyk on a Pto and signed him to a very friendly deal.
If and a big if, they keep performing the way they are so do they trade Murphy? I can see Dickinson definitely being traded.
I actually like the under 20 minutes for the rookie defenseman, dressing 7 of them a night. Crazy how Arty takes over 1st PP unit duties and the PP comes alive.
I just gotta say i think my wish is coming true, i think KD is one of the few insightful hockey minds who are running a NHL organization.
I can’t believe how many of his draft picks are playing in the NHL and playing well. I said last season the trade for Knight and a 1st rounder for Jones made him GM of the year in my eyes.
I didn’t know what to expect from Blashill but what i did know i really liked the brand of hockey the lightning played and I’m grateful that he’s been able to bring that brand to Chicago, it’s nice to see a team skate with a purpose.
Don’t know Frenchy maybe they are all in shock.
I will say when i was looking for today’s game log it didn’t pop up until after the game which was weird to me.
But man this is great, Soda played fantastic today
Man what a game vs the Red Wings. 3 in a row, only accomplished that once last season.
Bedard and his line are on fire this run has been so much fun to watch.
What a great road trip.
It took all of last season for the Blackhawks to win 2 games in a row 3 times? This season they did it in 15 games.
It’s interesting to watch other young teams making their mark, impressed with Sharks turn around, it’s a long season but the young teams are coming.
At 1st i thought Arty should be in Rockford. What do i know? He’s looking better and better every game now
I still think a few games in RFD would help him, though it is extremely unlikely to happen.
3rd period, he made a great poke check on defense to steal the puck along the boards.
He immediately spazzed out and shoved the puck to try and clear it but there was a D-man near the blue line to keep it in.
His steal became a turnover.
He needs to stay calm after a good play like that and take stock of the situation.I have not seen an update on how KK, EDM and Allan are doing in RFD.
Have any of them played their way into a callup?Personally from where Arty was in the beginning of the year to where he is now he’s vastly improved. Blashill’s system is built on supporting the puck, bonus is he didn’t throw it to the center of the ice. I can live with the one mistake in the game considering how many times he controls and makes the right read with the puck.
I also like the minute distribution when Murphy is getting the least amount of minutes as your RD man that’s an excellent sign for this team and team defense.
