GDT: 10/31/24 Hawks @ Sharks 9:30 Spookyvision

[GIADF]

I haven't watched much the last week and a bit. He was impressing me in the first handful of games, compared to what I was used to seeing, but sounds like he's right back to where he has been almost his entire Hawk career. Disappointing.

Agreed he gave me some hope to salvage the contract the first few games and I was being overly optimistic…. But once that stretch ended it’s just been brutal. Admittedly I didn’t watch periods 2 or 3 last night but he was awful in the 1st period I did watch.

 

[shakes the clown]

here is your prop bet for tonight: Assuming I go to bed at 10:30, what number is greater....the number of goals the Hawks score in the final 2 periods or the number of times I wake up to pee during that same time frame?

Full disclosure: I'm old and have a questionable bladder.

I definitely won this prop bet and it wasn't even close.

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

I just watched the 2nd half of the game. Is this what you took from last nights game?

Except for the play of Brodie I thought the boys had a good game as a team. Blackwood was lucky and good. (those two shots by Bedard off the knob of his stick pretty much defined his game)

A few comments: Too many good looks resulted in shots going wide. That giveaway by Connor on the Sharks goal was a deflection off of the official.
Seth had so many chances, just couldn't buy a goal. Bedard mostly out of sync with his linemates. TT has obvious passing talent but his lack of intensity seems will never change - it drives me mad. Donato was one of the better players once again. Bertuzzi was better. Vlasic continues to play well. Hawks defensive coverage still porous at times, especially in covering ops players at the blue line. A tough loss but the effort was there - shit happens.

Does anyone think it’s a notable disadvantage starting to play a hockey game at about 10 pm local time?

As a large sample...Compare Connor Bedard to NocovHischier over lastx25 NHL reg season games...

Hischier 13H GP + last 12xof ladtxseason...vs.Brdard last14 from last seasom+11GP this season..

Just comparing goal scoring...

Bedard has compiled led 75 shotsvon goal in last 25GP and Hischier had 70 shots pn goal last 25GP...
Pretty close on shots hitting the net.


HoWEVER Hischi 14 goals on his last 70shots =20% shooter

Bedard has only 4 goals in his last 75 shots .= 5 33%..

Bedardnot just "cokd" as a goal scorerr...he is notboroducibg as a firstvkibercshoukd in filling the net.
Not expecting hom to shoot 20% +

But hevought to be producing goals at least in thex10-12% shooting efficiency range.


25 gamesvisxavlargexsample to see if a pklayer deserves to be relied on for goals or not...if he cannot do it,Hawks are doomed.7

Sure, but we were playing a team that, at the time, was the worst team in the league. If it's that huge of a disadvantage, I'm sure the Sharks would have a much better record than what they have.

I guess but St. Louis is the only other central team that has played them at home this year (blues won 5-4 @ 9:39 central puck drop). No eastern teams have played in San Jose.

Okay, then their record should have been better last year when they finished 32nd in the league.

Both them and Anaheim have this 'advantage' yet they've both been bottom 5 teams for a few years now.

Maybe eastern teams don't love playing in the Pacific division, but it's hardly been advantageous for those Pacific division teams.

Pretty sure at some point Bedard will stop hitting the knob of the goalies stick and his shooting percentage will endup in the 12-14% range and plenty of goals will come.
