1/3:24 7pm CHSN Habs @ Hawks

[Mrfenn92]

Soda looks great. Dach looks 10x better than Nazar.




No one is saying he isn’t. He just looks like a guy who go needs more seasoning in Rockford

Ok

I get it's nit-picky but he's 21 pretty much all of 2025, birthday is in a few days, this time next year he's basically 22.

it is

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Jones isn’t playing much

Good. He sucks. Maybe he got traded.

 

[GIADF]

Plays like that makes me think it’s just a lack of confidence thing for 91.

 

[Callidusblackhawk]

Soda looks awesome

 

[MTU34]

It 100% is. He looked phenomenal at this level last year when he was buzzing coming off a strong tournament for Michigan. I think he takes off once he gets one

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Teuvo babysit soft and can’t win battle and clear. Results in penalty.

 

[GIADF]

That was another fun period.

 

[Tifosi]

Soda should be G1 from now on

 

[deytookerjaabs]

it is

Problem is it's a top line forward's job to produce and your early 20's is the time to start showing serious potential.

Nazar isn't projected as a depth guy, if he doesn't start to make moves in the big league next year that will be a problem.

 

[BobbyJet]

Still can't find that penalty call to end the period.

It’s his 13th NHL game. Step off the ledge.

Nothing but time my man.

That's why I said "next year."

But given how good he plays in the AHL I did expect more from him in this stint so far....which isn't much. It's not good at any age to be in that purgatory where you can dominate in the AHL but barely crack a point in the big league. I'm not "on the ledge" but I recognize that solid in the A whilst awkward in the NHL is a hard place to be for any player.

5 SOG for Dach. Hard to be upset there.

He doesn’t seem like a guy who is going to create instant offense, so given the lack of talent he’s now playing with in the NHL…. This isn’t far off from what I expected, to be honest.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Big kill needed

 

[GIADF]

Another good play by 44.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Kaiser putting on a clinic

Beautiful

 

[MTU34]

There is no reason for Crevier and Brodie to ever dress ahead of Kaiser

 

[GIADF]

What a f***in pass by Smith.

If you ignore points I did expect him to be more confident in his puck distribution and tenacity in the slot shift to shift regardless of linemates. He's had a lot of ill advised moves with the puck well after his first couple games in.

Obviously I'm rooting for him to find his best self here.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Good for Fat Pat. He’s been working his ass off all game

 

[Geoist]

I really don't know why so many of you don't like Maroon.

 

[Mrfenn92]

f***ing Crevier

I really don't know why so many of you don't like Maroon.

Pat has been fine this year at least to me

 

[GIADF]

I really don't know why so many of you don't like Maroon.

He’s legit one of my favorite players on this team this year.
