I wonder which team we’ll see tonight. The one that upset Dallas, or the one that got thrashed by the Pens. I’d like to see some scoring from the rookies – Greene, Moore, Lardis.
Based on points percentage, Hawks with the worst record and in the #1 draft choice slot. Just a week or so ago, the Hawks were in a playoff position. The standings are currently tightly bunched and a winning streak would surely move them out of the basement. With Bedard and now Nazar injured that streak is easier said than done.
With all that said, the WJC torunament begins Friday. Good time to watch some of the potential top draft picks – McKenna, Verhoeff, and Stenberg to name a a few.
Good call, Frenchy, on the Kraken trading Marchment. He was traded to the Blue Jackets last night for a 2nd and 4th round picks.
Danault also traded from the Kings to the Canadiens. LA gets a 2nd back. Good article here about the Habs taking the next step in their rebuild by trading away assets to get a player that help them now and next year.
Thanks for keeping the conversation going Frenchy. Let’s hope that 2nd line of Lardis, Greene and Moore meshes together well and gives us a good glimpse of what the future holds. Also, in Bedard’s absence, it’s time for Nazar to step it up along with the veteran cadre of Bertuzzi, Burakovsky, TT, Dickinson, Mikheyev and Donato providing some goal scoring.
Finally, a good opportunity for DelMastro as Lev serves his penance. I hope he has a good game. Maybe if he cements a position, Grzylec or Murphy will become eventual trade bait.
Thanks Frenchy. As I commented in your latest Hawks 10 game recap (https://hockeyhotstove.com/blackhawks-10-game-report-card-games-21-30/) this will be a good time for the youths like Nazar, Moore, Greene Levshunov et al to to step up their game in Bedard’s likely absence, show they belong, and learn how not to depend on one player leading the team.
Dad Gummit. That Bedard injury is not good news. If he is gong to be out for an extended period, say good bye to the season and his possible Olympic participation.
The offense is really going to suffer since he’s been involved in 44 of the team’s 91 goals – just about half. Time for Nazar to put on his big boy pants and start contributing.
