Bedard looks like he has the weight of the world on his shoulders. He needs to relax and have fun out there.

 

[Hakoon]

Embarassing

Playing for Luke Richardson has to be an unimaginable nightmare.

If the alarm bells aren’t going off, they should be

Someone had to with Seth out.

I’m really not worried. It’s not just him, there’s absolutely no offense at all happening on this team.

 

[nmgrbhfn]

Bring up Nazar and play him with Reichel and Smith. Maroon doesn't move fast enough.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Nazar, Dach, Savoie and Slaggert up. Season is over, let’s have some fun at least.

 

[TLEH]

Well it doesn’t help that they play a style of game that is cycle and try and get pucks low to high and crash the net. They limit rushes for and against. It’s low event hockey. It keeps you in games but that’s it.

 

[GIADF]

Bedard clearly needs good linemates to be effective.

It’s a damn shame we will be waiting for him to MAYBE have decent linemates come his 3rd year in the league. Embarrassing.

 

[Styles]

Bedard you want some linemates? Best I can do is a guy who shoots no matter what once he gains the zone and a wannabe great value Datsyuk.

I'm worried. He's a mental mess right now and you can see it out there.

 

[hawksrule]

I'm worried. He's a mental mess right now and you can see it out there.

Yeah, he’s frustrated, he’s forcing things.

 

[Callidusblackhawk]

Its a slump friends. It happens.

 

[MicronMega]

Soda has played very well this season. The team in front of him has absolutely failed him

This happened last year too. Soda had a good start against TOR, VGS, COL and BOS, he got no goal support and it started to wear on him. This is not an easy team for a goaltender, let alone a young goaltender. But, he seems to be handling it much differently this year. He deserves more help but I don't see it coming with this group. Hawks needs some better players for these young players. Can't blame much on Bedard either, he has nobody to play with

 

[Styles]

Imagine Hagel on a line with Bedard but I know I’ll be met with we wouldn’t have Bedard if Hagel was on the team at the time.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Not worried about Bedard. There is not a player in the league in a worse spot than him.

Davidson signed two free agents to play with him, and they aren’t.

Luke has decided his job is more important than helping the team, go figure.

 

[SimpleJack]

Again with the linemates….I don’t get it.

Who were his linemates the first 20-30 games of the season last year when he took the league by storm and was playing at a high level/almost always our most noticeable forward??

Just watch HIM, without looking at who else is out there, something doesn’t look right and I think it’s he himself he should be focusing on, without getting worried about the state of the team or his teammates. He should understand and expect the rebuild process to be tough without much help at first.

I’m being hard on him because his talent level warrants this kind of expectation. Hopefully he gets some solid positive reinforcement and some good advice on how to be mentally tough during this period. He’s gotta fight through it and start playing like he’s capable of. Even as a rookie he was twice the player I’m seeing rn. I know it’s there.

 

[Game suspension]

5 sog in his last 5g.

Totally agree. There is so much bullshit hype around him it makes you wonder how much he is believing it. Even as a kid Kane would rise to the occasion of playing in his home town.

And stop making excuses about his frigging linemates FFS. Kane was was playing with Tory Brouwer on line 2 and producing lol.

 

[TLEH]

Relaxxxxx

 

[TLEH]

Can’t score so better scratch Hall lol
