Player Discussion: Brandon Hagel

[aylib]

The guy does not lose 1-1 battles.

 

[Pierre Larouche]

It's funny to remember how wrong I was about this guy during that first year.

Then again, I'm an idiot.

Me too

This guy goes from "can't crack the 2019-20 Blackhawks" to "one of the best all around forwards in the league" in 4 years. You just love to see it.

... and gives it his all every shift, doesn't take the night off or give up on any plays.

Coop on Hagel after the NJ game:

"When Ondrej Palat use to play there (with Point and Kucherov), he was one of the guys that would piece the whole thing together. I wasn't sure you'd find somebody of that type of player. Ironically Pally's in the game, and Hags does a lot of the same things that Palat did. They're just 200 foot players that never say die. They never quit. Hags is one of those guys, and he can play with elite guys, and he's been showing that for a long time now."

"I think if you're going to pick MVPs on our team Kuch would be leading the way, but you'd be hard pressed not to say, especially since we've come back from the break, that Hags is right there with him."

Career year in assists and points for Hagel. He’s had a great season!

 

[Zwui21]

75 points in 82 games. And some people thought we got fleeced in that trade lmao.
Always giving 100%, every shift and every game.
What a gamer, can't wait to see him full force in the playoff!

Cooper was like I'm not surprised, seen better. Lol.

So we let Stamkos walk, get Tavares for 50% and we have ourselves a 2nd line!

Tavares would have the best shot of his career to win anything more than a meaningful handshake.

Tavares sucks. No Thanks.

All of his goals from this past season. Almost all of his goals are impactful, in close games. He's a big reason why we made the playoffs, hopefully has another big year in 2024-25.

 

[neelynugs]

is hagel gonna be the net front guy on the PP this year, or guentzel?

obviously strategy has to change somewhat with stammer not there firing away.

Looks like it could be Raddysh or Hagel or ...

Bump after last night, huge goal when we needed it most

 

[StammerHammer]

His intensity is really fun to watch.

 

[FromChaos22]

still no room on PP1 for him, gotta have Raddysh out there 5 on 3

Made up for that extremely bone headed play on the 1st goal.
