GDT: 2024 Blackhawks training camp

[clydesdale line]

Wild broadcast saying Lardis was out tonight cuz of illness...

Boooooo.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Misiak rough on the PP

muffin + blocked shot + whiff

 

[clydesdale line]

That was almost an unbelievable save by Gaudreau.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Where did they get these idiots on defense? They couldn’t find anyone respectable from the CHL to give a chance?

It's been a long summer...plenty of rust.

Yeah I don't get it. The D depth is awful for this team.

 

[TLEH]

For a 20 year old and a very good OHL player, Hayes is so vanilla.

 

[clydesdale line]

Allan is a much better defenseman than Del Mastro. I see it with him.

Spellacy and Savoie just hit everything that moves.

Nazar has been underwhelming but he almost looks bored out there. Alot of the passes he's making guys aren't finishing.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

I like Dach a lot. Very physical and shoots everything. I feel like he’s the first call up if the injury bug strikes again.

Would have to be a really bad injury bug cause the Blackhawks have a fair bit of forwards signed. And if someone like Slaggert doesn't even make the team, he's getting called up before Dach.

I don't know if it's just me but it seems to me that Dach gets himself into bad situations on the ice that allows ops players to take advantage of. He needs to be smarter in protecting himself.

NAZAR TIES IT ON THE PP

 

[Kevin Musto]

HAYES ON THE PP

2-1 Hawks

 

[BobbyJet]

Ludwinski is slick.

 

[TLEH]

The fact that Heidt fell in the draft still doesn't make sense to me.

 

[Kevin Musto]

NAZAR TO ROLSTON!

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Goal and two assists for Nazar. The talent is obvious, but he needs another ten to fifteen pounds in the worst way.

 

[Darkstar]

The fact that Heidt fell in the draft still doesn't make sense to me.

I don't get it either. Maybe it was his even strength numbers and not doing much at the U18's.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Misiak empty net goal

4-2 Chicago

 

[TLEH]

Frank just needs to find a way to be a bit less wasteful and get better on his play selection. I love his compete though.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Much better game from EDM. But man his and Allan’s partner’s were dragging them the hell down. Good compete from the forwards all around.

 

[ello]

can’t tell if Nazar took so many hits because he’s playing nonchalant in this setting but yea he needs to protect himself a lot better and probably develop more lower body strength

I think he was the most talented forward on the ice today - he just has this shift to shift inconsistency to his game that is frustrating to watch

 

[TLEH]

I don't see a problem with his build at all. The guy who hit him is big and ran out of position and it led to a goal and he was fine.

 

[Taze em]

Frank forces himself and pucks to the middle. Middle drives for days. It’s what I like about him most. I’m so sick of watching years of Hawks teams rimming pucks around the boards and uselessly cycling while stapled to the boards. In my opinion the hawks have played that possession style since 2014 and it drives me nuts. Low to high, high to low. Rim. Cycle. Rim. Rinse repeat. I’d love to see the Hawks in-zone goal rate/60. Id bet it’s the lowest over the last decade.

It can be wasteful because it leads to a turnover 80% but a quality chance 20% but that mindset is what we need way more of. Bedard does it too.
