Character ....Hawks win!

 

[Mrfenn92]

Good win for the boys

 

[bwanajamba]

Fun one with a happy ending for once

 

[Backyard Hockey]

TT with with his best game of the season.

 

[BLKHKhockey]

Good to see the boys get a win

 

[deytookerjaabs]

Nice to get a W, even more so off a late game Bedard goal.

 

[SC116]

So say you know your star player is flagging -but you cannot send him to the Rock - what do you do? You send the coach from the Rock to be the coach in the show - and just roll with it.

I think I see what the front office was doing. Lovnig Murph- not only was that a 190 foot goal -it was dead center - he'd have put it through the centre of the screen and won a car if it was between periods. It looks like I picked the right 7 minutes of the game to watch.

 

[Tifosi]

For once a Chicago team didn’t ruin my Sunday

 

[hawksfan50]

The irony is that Bedardxdid nothing 5x5 all game......except for last minute heroics...which might not have gonebi had not Serokin trying to prevent goal actualky tapped it in with his stick...Tge Bedard assist was 5x3..But other than those 2 points on 2 shifts hecwas pretty useless the otgercsgiftscwhere hevcreated nothing..
Still you take what you can get ..

Tt had hus best game..Halk had so e great shifts. Earlier in the game.

The PK was great..Vladicvis a stud and Murphy pkayed very well esoecialky on the pk with Vlasic.

Personally I do not miss $9.5 at all.


CREVIER MADE A DIFFERENCE...no more Kaiser fumbling pucks ..gettingboutmiscled..turning it over...and FTC's.. Crevier bring physicality.. can rub guyscoff the puck on the boards..Evenbhad 1vnicevattack rish abdcshot..Justvketvhomnpkay..I just do not think Kaiser is bigvenoughborvgoidcenough ..
.Allan isvok in3rdvpairing minutes even if he has no offense..but he can mich sone at kept goidcenough 3rd pair minutes.

Brodiecand Kk had their problems on2vofvthe Iskandersvgoals.. Still do notcsee much offense fron Kj to make up for his D mistakes ..and BridievuscBridie..also goita find better.

Hopefully we win the lotto and draft Schaefer ..

Donato is such a dumb hockey player.

Really??? ... because he got pissed on a borderline call with 3:30 to go in regulation? Give me a player who takes that shitty call in stride and you got a quitter. Donato took that emotion and created the winning goal! Is that dumb?? FFS

 

[hawksrule]

Couldn’t watch. How was Nazar?

 

[BobbyJet]

Couldn’t watch. How was Nazar?

Not bad. About as expected. Over hyped and could use more time in the AHL.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Couldn’t watch. How was Nazar?

He's a good fit.

The points will come.

 

[hawksfan50]

Nazar has had no production or even danger threat in thec2 games up in the Showcso far..

Look theboirtle guysxcannotcalk just shine on Pps..There mist be linecdrive ,creation and finishing in Evenvstrenth pkay..butvthecsmalk guys get easily handled.. andcshovedvoff pucks on the boards orvinthe middlevofvthevive...

Nazerxwull get fitter tests but if he does notcstartvinpacting with production then send him back for more marinating I Rockford...

 

[WarriorofTime]

Pretty solid win overall. Outshot and stuff but you know, they won, Bedard game winner and multi-point game, Teravainen justify the contract type of day. You take it.

 

[MHO]

Is Louis Crevier like....decent?

 

[TheFridge]

Really??? ... because he got pissed on a borderline call with 3:30 to go in regulation? Give me a player who takes that shitty call in stride and you got a quitter. Donato took that emotion and created the winning goal! Is that dumb?? FFS

No.

Because he took a stupid penalty 200 ft from his own net with <5 mins to go in the game, on top of all the other things that make him a dumb hockey player: tunnel vision, holding on the puck too long and skating into pressure/running himself out of time, tunnel vision, no playmaking ability, tunnel vision.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

He had a good night for sure.

 

[MHO]

He had a good night for sure.

I'm starting to think they should extend him or trade him. It would suck to lose him for nothing. At the very least, he could be a sweetener with another vet for a better draft pick.

[MarotteMarauder]

nevermind

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Donato is a Swiss army knife. He's decent in a pinch anywhere in the lineup but you could do better. Dare I say Kopeckyesque.

I think we will get the most value/interest at the trade deadline for Donato. You nailed it by saying he is a swiss army knife. He is the kind of guy that playoff teams want because of his versatility and willingness to do whatever it takes.

My Brother in Bedard, @hawksfan50, is there a single player you speak positively about? It actually might be time to start looking for a new team with how negative you've been. I hope everything is alright at home. Always around if you ever need to chat.

Yep. Donato seems to fall a lot and isn't the most skilled player but his 100% effort and determination are to be admired. Too bad some of that grit wouldn't rub off on a few of the chronic floaters who often go through the motions.
