The US lost to Billington in the 4 nations. Billington. US is gooning it up in an Olympic/IIHF event. They won’t last long. It’ll be another hotel destruction like the 2006 Olympics in Turin.
I don’t think ice size will make a difference as the KHL uses either the Finnish ice size (60mx28m) or NHL sized ice (60mx26m). They don’t use the Olympic ice size (60mx30m). Kantserov’s home ice is the Finnish size, but on the road he could be playing on either sized ice.
Did the Hawks youth hit the wall the last couple of games? If you were KD/Blashill, what would you do to get this team back to the way it has been most of the season?
So when is a head shot not a head shot? When it’s a head shot. Reminds me of when Seabrook got head shot near the net and there was no suspension because he was in the “hitting zone”
I love, for the most part, how this team is playing. One downer I will bring up is we are still in the middle of a rebuild. This is going to be interesting for KD if he goes out and gets another piece or holds pat. I think he will stay status quo as he has too many variables on what he has.
Was a fun game this afternoon. Didn’t see the 1st period, but the Hawks were firing on all cylinders in the 2nd and third. The PP and PK were on fire. Same with Soderblom. Had a good save on his brother and a 10 bell on Larkin with a toe save.
A friend was asking about Lev. Thinks he may end up a Calder finalist. Still early, but he is looking good and putting up points.
I recall many raving the Sharks rebuild? What is that 17 losses in a row going back to last season now? Goes to show no one really knows, good news for them is better odds for McKenna.
3 years in a row of SJ losing 50+ is a definite thing. Guess that is how a “real” rebuild is done. I feel sorry for Askirov not having any defensive support.
Don’t worry Coach, Blackhawks fans know how to do things in spite of technology 🙂
Fridays have been soft the last couple of years for NHL games. Don’t know why, just is.
Arty is only 19, and his play style is still that of a kid. He does generally catch on quickly so by game 10-20, he could be a completely different player. He has already looked better than he did at the end of last season. He could become a beast in short order. Most defensemen will get to where he is now in the age 24-26, so he is still way ahead of them.
Rinzel has been awesome. Sure, a couple of minor mistakes, but wow!
What will Rinzel or Lev get if they put up decent numbers the next two years?
Sportsnet was thinking Lev and Buium will be in the $10 Mil/season range
How did Gryz look yesterday?
To be honest, I never noticed him.
It’s looking like Behm may be this year’s Lardis. If Behm gets into the 50+ goal mark, it’s a success.
