re the Bedard 2nd period breakaway:
He needs to learn that he doesn’t need to stuff the puck in every time.
With his release and accuracy, he can beat a goalie 1 on 1 from 15 feet out.He has to get away from the 11/7 split. If you have to worry about these defenseman so much, maybe they don’t belong in the NHL.
Excellent way to put it.
Murphy is due for a groin injury flare-up, give him a game off here and there.
They have 19 games in the next 40 days, perfect time to go 12/6 and see who is ready for the grind.For sure. You have to get thru games in a season where the calls don’t go your way, you’re frustrated against a muck it up team, not let your frustrations put you in the box, goals that are deflected in for when you played the sequence perfectly, when you don’t get any puck luck, where you lose players in game and forced to play shorthanded and on and on. No team that is a serious threat in the playoffs has not learned these things along the way. … None of them.
Nobody can win anything meaningful without conquering adversity and you don’t learn without games like this one………. And, Bedard knows it. The guy who will be on the ice the most and take every single important minute of every season. After the game he said I have to be better, I can’t put my team in bad spots like I did.
I agree with every bit of this.
I’ll add that I’m very disappointed in Blashill for going easy on Bedard after the game.
Hopefully he was tougher on him in private.They just learned the hard way hockey is a 3 period game.
Well said, sir.
Too each his own but I hope the Hawk’s takeaway is nothing like your post, Dots. Keeping your mouth shut in a tied game, that your group gave up 2 3rd period goals to lose the lead with 2:30 left is Hockey 101 for a 15 yr old. ……… Watching the SEA feed Eddie O pointed out the ref didn’t put his arm up until Bedard reached the blueline sniveling the whole way. Ref will give you your bitch but don’t be a punk about it or you go on the PK and lose games/points.
Well said sir! I’m 100% in agreement with you, Mr Ricochet.
The ref let Bedard get away with a LOT.Note: I was also very disappointed with Foligno’s behavior last year after being named Captain.
He acted out like a clown several times, which did not set a good example for the youngsters.Well said Mr Ricochet.
Character builder tonight for sure.Fancy stats wound up rather even overall.
Regardless of particulars, Seattle earned a hard fought road win tonight.Late in the 2nd I saw Arty and Rinzel carry the puck below the Seattle goal line.
I could live without that in the 3rd.
Not needed with a 2 goal lead vs a team ranked 28th in goals per game.
Wait for them to pinch, get behind them and make it 3-0.Make them go 200 feet again and again and again.
Somebody did that to the Hawks earlier this season. Just smothered them in the 3rd with a lead.
