Yeah Bedard isn’t sniping NHL goalies from that high in the zone. He’s gotta play somewhere else

It has to be the bumper. It's all that makes sense with their personnel.

 

[x Tame Impala]

Trade Jones, Trade Murphy, send Brodie to the ECHL, trade Hall, trade Foligno, trade Reichel, trade Kurashev, fire the whole coaching staff

 

[MTU34]

How f***ing nonchalant can jones be in that scenario. No urgency to get that puck back up ice and then he spends a good three seconds dusting it off at the top of the zone

 

[Mrfenn92]

Hawks played fine. But a big disappointment after beating Colorado.

 

[Paul Allen]

Jones is not the guy to be out there when you need a goal.

 

[Callidusblackhawk]

The puck will never get to him there.

Is he just too small to be that low in the zone near the crease or what? I don’t get it. He’s never going to score from that high up

 

[HagelsBagels]

Worst record in the NHL. Way to go everyone

 

[Paul Allen]

The laziness to keep the puck in the zone before was even worse

 

[Tifosi]

LR and the Flus gonna be gone by January

Brayden Point plays the bumper on Tampa, and has for years. Unless something has changed.

 

[clydesdale line]

Early on in the season but that is a tremendous tank loss.

 

[Pez68]

The puck will never get to him there.

Yes, it will. Because you move the puck to create mismatches. If they just shade Bedard there, they are giving up the backdoor and conceding the net. The Hawks have NOBODY in the bumper that is really a threat to score, so opposing teams don't care about it.

Will LR sit Brodie when Martinez returns?

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Will LR sit Brodie when Martinez returns?

lol

 

[Paul Allen]

Will LR sit Brodie when Martinez returns?

KD simply needs to bury Brodie.

 

[SimpleJack]

Glad we lost tbh cuz I wanna maintain pace with San Jose for that top pick.

It just sucks to see 98 struggling to produce like he is rn. He wasn’t scoring that much the final 20 or so games last season either. Obviously the coaching and talent around him play a part in this but even with those things in mind I’m surprised he hasn’t broken out yet.

Hopefully this changes asap. You’d think eventually some improvement or increase in productivity will come. I was expecting he’d be at minimum a PPG level player by year 2.

 

[MTU34]

Brayden Point plays the bumper on Tampa, and has for years. Unless something has changed.

Has not changed. The more I think about Bedard in that spot the more I think it makes sense in the short term. That’s if you trust Teravainen and Kurashev enough to run the half walls on a top powerplay unit though

 

[Callidusblackhawk]

You have a lot more faith in the rest of the likely powerplay personnel than I do.

Why do that when you can rock

Martinez-Jones
Allan-Murphy
Vlassic-Brodie

I’d trust TT in that spot for sure

 

[TLEH]

That whole top line has to be better. Bedard included. Putting them out there with Brodie didn't help in the first but they need to produce against the worst team in the league. Had tons of time and space that they wasted and took for granted.

I think Kaiser is better than Brodie at this stage.

Bedard is double teamed and Kurashev and TT refuse to shoot the puck. Now explain to me how that line scores?

I think Kaiser is better than Brodie at this stage.

As if that matters to this toxic ass organization.

 

[Pez68]

TT is a really good passer. Kurashev actually has a really good one timer, and can pass.

TT on the left wall, Kurashev on the right. Foligno or Bertuzzi(barf) down low. Bedard in the bumper. Jones up top.

Folingo is always a threat to come across the crease for the stuff shot. That opens up the bumper for Bedard.

Its better than this 4 man perimeter garbage they are doing now.

 

[TLEH]

I already don't think Bedard touches the puck enough. Not sure I'd like him in the bumper although doesn't hurt to try.
