Boiler i read that article by Frenchy which was good, it wouldn’t let me post.
I saw snippet somewhere that said the last time or only kid his age was over a point per game in the KHL was Kaprizov.
You know me boiler I’m really excited about the pipeline. One day they are going to be suffocating as a team.
Yeah it’s great knowing that your pipeline has some youth that are associated statistically with superstars at a young age, with Kantserov being mentioned with Kaprisov, and Frondell with Pasternak and Nylander. Of course these are just stats, and anything can happen, but just watching these two with the skills that they possess, it’s just exciting to imagine what this team will morph into.
Thanks Coach for this write up. Made my day. Now hopefully the Hawks take it to the Kings!
Wow, you’re going back a lotta yrs if you were reading Al at HB. Sucks you couldn’t post but I remember you from somewhere. I don’t get around to too many message boards on the internets but I could swear I know a Haru from somewhere. .. You post anywhere else under that name?
No. That’s just the name of the central character of a Japanese TV drama about hockey in Japan.
Thanks, Frenchy!
I am glad (along with the rest of us “Buzz-bums”) that we are here with you!
Appeciate you,
Wiz
Agreed wholeheartedly, although I never was able to post as a BuzzBum. My account never worked, so I was reading all of you in the background since Al C. was the blogger.
Nice article Coach. Kaiser’s development has been a pleasant surprise. He’s still young, but he has matured his game so well for the last 2 years. He’s a gritty guy who’s not afraid to mix it up along the boards, and his decision making is quick and his agility makes for a great shut down type of guy. Appreciate the analysis on Kaiser. Hawks’ future on the blueline looks great.
I like your assessment Coach. Knight is playing as advertised. So smooth. His glove saves seem effortless at times, looking like a catcher “framing the pitch” waiting for the ump to call strike.
And the youngsters are playing with confidence and doing their thing. Bedard and Nazar are playing with such high tempo. They might be feeding off each other in that respect.
Vets are doing what they were supposed to do last year. I think Blash and the coaching staff’s influence might have spurred that growth.
All in all, fun start to the season and thanks for your contributions to us Hawk fans.
Anyone else see Middleton light up Dutch center ice and then absolutely pummel the living shit out of Petrovic (who stuck up for Dutch)? I believe that Petrovic landed 1 right and Middleton scored 3 rights, 2 uppercuts, 4 vicious rabbit punches, and finished him with a spinebuster.
What??? No suplex followed by a figure-four leg lock??
One nice thing to see from this young team is getting points inspite of the refs on the ice.
Totally blown call. Lankinan is in the seated splits facing the half boards. He can only spin to his right or left while seated or snow angel while Bertuzzi is whacking at the puck. He chooses to rotate towards Bertuzzi allowing Bert to whack at the exposed puck. Ref must think Bertuzzi’s stick caused Lankinen’s rotation. Only way Bertuzzi could do that is if he whacked with a sledgehammer. Another tell-tale sign was after the puck went in Lankinen was trying to fish the puck out of the corner of the net. Goalies will be the first to tell you they were interfered with.
Finally figured it out—–
Frank Nazar is ticket scalper Mike Damone from Fast Times at Ridgemont High.“….Now beat it kid. You’re crampin’ my style.”
Also, it looks like Lafferty is in the dog house already (or maybe he is injured?). He and Reichel are sitting due to the 7D lineup
I think one of the prior games he had maybe only 6 minutes of ice time but took 2 penalties in that short time.
And if Mikhelev keeps playing the way he does, I wouldn’t be able to trade him, i was so impressed with his effort and defensive play vs the Habs.
Agreed. Also might help out Kantserov if/when he gets here.
