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.
Bedard’s gonna take a ride on the pine if he keeps trying to stickhandle out of trouble behind the net.
Well, we played one good period (the 2nd) in that first game. The first period was rough and made worse by the weak penalty calls on Levshunov. The team still looked a bit disorganized in their own end, forwards late to get to coverage. We got burned for a goal on Grzelcyk being out of position, which is pretty much the book on him (or so I’ve been told).
While there were a couple bright spots, that was a sound beating the Knight kept close.
That’s going to happen for a while with a team this young.
Thanks Chunk, i think another key point is from what i hear is Blashill had a convo with Reichel and informed him of how he needs to play if he wants to get into the lineup. Is Reichel willing to accept that his form of floating around hockey is not going to help any team win?
I don’t think it really matters at all. If he doesn’t figure his crap out, he’s going to be a UFA and can try and get a gig somewhere else. The Hawks have so many guys that are about to push for an NHL spot. It’s all on him to make them play him. I don’t think he played that poorly in the preseason, but he didn’t stand out.
I think one of the most important things that Blashill has to maintain is that playing time and situations are a privilege. If someone is playing more responsible, they should get the time.
After the first period, they looked like a real hockey team. Obviously not the best, but lots of kids trying to get their footing in a reg season game. I thought most got better as the game went along.
Didn’t work last season. Can’t believe he’s still on this roster. Flip him with another guy elsewhere that also needs a change-of-scenery and let’s go. Shit or get off the pot.
Guessing you are talking about Dots post about Reichel?
He’s not in the way at all. He’s literally an extra. You don’t want one of the other kids sitting if they are up on the big squad. He’s the Crevier of the forwards. Are you going to force whatever guy you get back in trade into the lineup? What does that accomplish if he has the same issues as Reichel?
If someone offers something that KD wants for Reichel, he’ll get moved.

With the Greene emergency call up, we know who is first up. I’ve not seen anything on Slaggert or heard anything the entire preseason. Did he make the team?
Not exactly. Slaggs is a defensive forward in the bottom 6 and that’s what Greene will be so they called him up over Moore but just my opinion. Wondering if it means Foligno moves up to 3rd line wing and Greene centers line 4?
They had Dach as the 3LW in practice with Greene centering the 4th.
