GDT: Blues @ Hawks 7pm ChSn

[MTU34]

Yeah, about time we put that lengthy Martinez experiment to an end.

That Brodie guy has also played far too many games for the hawks already

How are you guys enjoying Ball compared to Vosters?

Who the F is Vosters...? I thought that was a fever dream...

 

[Kevin Musto]

Bedard has fire

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Bedard has fire

Imagine when he gets a coach and a team around him.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Amazing how everyone was popping off tonight, but Reichel remained a non factor

Off to waivers he goes

 

[MicronMega]

Ball is the best acquisition of the off-season

 

[Kevin Musto]

I'm burning down the front office if they send Frank back to Rockford

That's our 2C right there

Ball is one of the best in the business. Great hire by the Hawks.

1.It is nice to see Hawks AHL players outplay Blues AHL players...should be great watching Rockford this season.

2 It was a pleasure watching hockey without the goofs of the poir hockey sense of $9.5 and the slow pylon of Connor Barfy.. Team flow looked much better as pucks got up to forwards for much more rush attacks..
EdM was outstanding...KK though very inconsistent and caught watching letting guys go in free tajingbpucks to our net..Phillipscstill loses too many board battles behind our net ...had to be bailed out by others after he doesn't win the puck..

AaA was horrid...lost hos speed or just not up to speed yet..but hexwss awful.

Other than those few I singled out,the rest of the team played very well.. albeit vs. Not the Real Blues team..

He already didn’t make the team. He’ll get called up later.

Proved tonight they cut him too early.

Nazar is better than the majority of the Hawks roster.

reichel had a good night by his standard. trouble is, his standard is way below where it needs to be.

That's code for "Kyle is trying to get a trade set up before putting his bum ass on waivers"

it's actually code for "this is a secret message for kevin musto: please make six more posts on hf hawks about a player you've been actively rooting against since the day he was drafted. you are our strongest soldier in the war on our own prospects, and we are counting on you. godspeed son."

He's a real pro and much more enjoyable to listen to than Vosters.

Reminds me of my favorite onion segment

 

[GIADF]

That top line is going to get caved in and be responsible for at least two goals against.

Nailed it.

Admittedly when I made this stupid comment, I didn't realize this was a glorified AHL game. I haven't seen highlights yet but nice to see so many young guys on the scoresheet.

 

[hawksfan50]

Obviously even with the just playing a Bsquad of mainly prospects spring lied with a few bottom six and lower d-pair nhl vets by STL, that Bedard has more chemistry with Kurashev than any of the vet additions brought in by KD...
So they goita pit Kurashev as a winger with Bedard...Reichel aged better o that line witb those 2 than he did with any vets tried..

So maybe they should go with a "kid" line a day just designate them as the d line to relieve any psychological pressure on them?

BUT IF Hall and Tt are the wingers for line #1 who is the missing 2C?
They gotta eother trade or pick somebody off waivers ...a 2C vet to fill that spot.
Dickinson old be 3 C either Foligno and Micheyev

And line 4 could be 4C Smith with Donato and Anderson
..but the problem is that missing linex2 VEt center.

Maybe we get lucky on the waiver wire or they trade sonet assets to get that missing piece?


Aa was maybectgeceorst Hawks player last night..he us NOT skating well.. Should trade hom or wives hom if they can get that missing stop-gap but capable C vet for Hall and Tt.


Reichel if he learns to shoot more could be good with Bedard and Kurashev...not goibg to be a great defensive line ..but we need scoro g frl.them Allah a priority.

I'm just amazed how in a year and a half's time, Reichel has gone from our brightest hope going into the future to a likely waiver candidate.

Reichel's game is such a tease. Just like last night he will on occasion use his speed and skill to get into the ops end that will raise eyebrows but he won't shoot and he often looks lost once he arrives and the plays fizzle. Personally, I think Hawks need to shop him now as I doubt he clears waivers.

He was never that to begin with lol

Even when he was drafted, his ceiling was a 2nd line passenger
