It’s on the Teravainen turnover primarily but if you’re the last back (Jones) you can’t step that far up the ice until the puck is either deep or controlled in Calgary’s zone. No reason for Backlund to get behind him there
Exact same play he made on the PP to cause the SH goal.

Meanwhile no one gave the called back goal a second look. I swear the puck was in before Donato pushed the pads in.

Did Folingo really touch that puck at the last goal? Wasn't sure he did, if not Bedard would have another point

Bedard goal and 3 point day, Nashville won, and SJ somehow managed even a loser point against Edmonton. All while the Hawks had a regulation loss.

Good day.

Nazar again Zero shots on goal..Also Reichel zero shots on goal.

Brdard credited with 3 shotsvon goal..Dickinson with 2 shotsvon goal.


Means our 4 centers got just 5 shots on goal combined.. siggest not good enough..


Hawjs won the 54.5% but this mainly duecto Dickinson who won 14 of 20 draws..

On the plus side we might have the Bertuzzi that was promised and Bedard finally gets his linemate.
They've always been together on the PP.

5 on 5 is a different kettle of fish. It was the same situation as last season when many seemed to think Kurashev and Bedard should be line mates because they clicked with the man advantage.

I thought that was the whole point of the signing? A guy who goes to the net and opens up space for Bedards shot and cleans up the rebounds.
Some have short memories. Bert began the season playing with Bedard and they weren't clicking at even strength. I'm not against trying it again but I'm not sure Bert is quick enough to play in that role.

No, they began pre season together. The entire preseason. And then the dumbass coach we used to have thought it wouldn't work and never put them together again during the season (outside of a handful of shifts). Bedard isn't the quickest either, but at least Bert goes to the dirty areas and can make plays.

Maybe in the preseason? But no. Bertuzzi was never given frequent time with Bedard. The spot a couple weeks ago was it.


Bertuzzi was playing bad until those few weeks ago, but it seems to be a combo that should stick together more.

Who cares about short memory. If it might work now go for it.

Talk about short memories. Bedard opened the season with Teravainen and Mikheyev. Mikheyev was replaced by Foligno. Not sure Bertuzzi has started a single game on Bedard's wing. They have just 65 minutes total at even strength together (which is the sixth highest with Bedard among forwards) and have much better results with each other than away from each other

I agree.... but tbh, I think a player like Mikheyev is what 98 needs.... maybe the combo of 95-98-59 might work.

That's because he didn't pinch a bit lower a few seconds earlier. he put himself in no man's land and it blew up on him. Several indecisive moments in his 1st game back.
Who cares, the game was over the moment TT f***ed up the entry with less than 30 seconds to go.

Bert is known for his slow start, lets hope this game is what he needed to get this season going. I absolutely loved that subtle lift of the ops stick to score his second goal.
