GDT: 4/14/25 6pm Hawks @ Habs CHSN

[Mrfenn92]

don't think they will stay patient?

They will stay patient.

 

[BobbyJet]

Naw. You don’t make bedard into a dump and chase guy when no one’s there with him. Get him some f***ing help besides Donato and mikheyev who I both like.

When it's the only play you gotta take it!

 

[RememberTheRoar]

I just hope the FO stays patient and doesn't try to 'speed this up' by doing stupid things

If someone like Sam Bennett comes in, I wouldn’t really mind. He should still be solid throughout a seven year deal

 

[Toews2Bickell]

If Chicago loved Lev so much, they could have drafted Demidov and traded back in for him. They did it backwards.

they offered the same trade to MTL who might've made it if Chicago went Demidov 2 and selected Levshunov at 5

 

[Mrfenn92]

Good stick lift by Donato

 

[Toews2Bickell]

If someone like Sam Bennett comes in, I wouldn’t really mind. He should still be solid throughout a seven year deal

I'm not paying Bennett top dollar with term given the type of game he plays and he's a 50 point forward, that contract might age like milk

 

[Mrfenn92]

If Chicago loved Lev so much, they could have drafted Demidov and traded back in for him. They did it backwards.

Leshunov is probably in Anaheim then

 

[Deputy McRizzy]

Nice to see Lev already looking more comfortable and willing to throw his body around more.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Good play by Reichel

 

[belfour30]

Leshunov is probably in Anaheim then

You beat me to it.

 

[MTU34]

If Chicago loved Lev so much, they could have drafted Demidov and traded back in for him. They did it backwards.

And why exactly are we so certain that Levshunov would’ve lasted long enough to trade back up? Or are we just making up scenarios to justify being unhinged about things for no reason

 

[MTU34]

6’5 humans should not be allowed to move like that

 

[RememberTheRoar]

I'm not paying Bennett top dollar with term given the type of game he plays and he's a 50 point forward, that contract might age like milk

50 point forward playing down the lineup on a loaded team. Also trusted to play on championship club and national teams. Funny this guy isn’t wanted when the “I’m mad at these vets” sentiment exists.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Rinzel isn't a 1 according to the mainboard lol

 

[Kevin Musto]

Rinzel will be a generational 1D, perennial Norris contender

 

[Callidusblackhawk]

And why exactly are we so certain that Levshunov would’ve lasted long enough to trade back up? Or are we just making up scenarios to justify being unhinged about things for no reason

Well none of the teams that picked after the Hawks picked Lev so obviously he still would have been there!

 

[Deputy McRizzy]

Like seeing Greene go to the front of the net there.


Good shift here.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Good shift

 

[Deputy McRizzy]

Think I’ve decided Nazar is my new favorite Hawk. I just love everything about his game so much.

 

[RememberTheRoar]

Rinzel isn't a 1 according to the mainboard lol

Well Vlasic was a 1 just a few weeks ago. So maybe we all pump the brakes on calling these guys “generational” until they establish themselves and show consistency.

Rinzel is obviously not a true #1 right now, he has played like five games. But he’s also showing great form in this limited time.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Hawks going on PP because of hard work of Reichel

 

[pvr]

Hawks Globetrottering it out there, just couldn’t score.

 

[Kevin Musto]

let's get that PP going

 

[Mrfenn92]

There you go Lukas

 

[Backyard Hockey]

shouldn't be any seriousness

Lev is in the NHL right now way earlier than any of us anticipated

his development is looking ahead of schedule

defensemen take way longer to develop than forwards

The issue is that the

Naw. You don’t make bedard into a dump and chase guy when no one’s there with him. Get him some f***ing help besides Donato and mikheyev who I both like.

So the solution is try to skate through 3 guys like a first year pee wee?
