GDT: GM06 | Vancouver Canucks @ Chicago Blackhawks | Tue. Oct 22nd | 5:15pm PST | SNP | That's a Weird Start Time

[SeawaterOnIce]

I can see it now.

5-2 Blackhawks
Mikheyev 3 goals, 1 assist
Dickinson 1 goal, 3 assists

Mikheyev will then go 50-something games without a point after.

It's absurd how the NHL runs in terror from the NFL.

NFL is an event. In terms of games it’s almost a 5 to 1 ratio compared to the nhl. If the nfl ever got it right and gave an extra bye week, then Thursday football games will be better with teams having 10 days off vs 3 days off before playing that game.

At some point the nhl does have to play its games as the nba is going to begin soon so they can’t only have tue to sat at all of their arenas.

Fair to say JT Miller sustained some sort of injury in pre-season that will probably linger with him?

Here's hoping Hoglander-Pettersson continue to show good chemistry.

 

[wonton15]

I’d be fine sitting JT for this one. We should win this without him.

They re scratching Kursahev ? That's odd.

Not too odd,. He's 25, had a decent year offensively last year (mostly playing with Bedard) but is not great defensively (from what i sounds like). He's not some hot-shot rookie where you keep giving time to and let him work out the kinks.

I'm at the point where I'd rather see them start PP2 instead of PP1. If nothing to embarrass PP1 into being better.

 

[Phrasing]

Certainly looks like Debrusk and Garland have traded spots on the PP, but I think patience is needed. Debrusk needs to learn the bumper shot Horvat provided and that will likely come with reps.

Bains on pp1 is jimtarded put Heinen , Hoglander or sherwood there Rick no galaxy brain pls

Potential trap game. Already been a successful road trip with the 2 wins, and their 3 best players will have a little extra motivation for this one.

Be a good time for the PP to wake up and get us a goal or 2.

Can't have a subpar effort here, and need to take the 2 points. Good test for this team's mental fortitude.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Can’t wait for people to lose there minds when they see Bains on pp1.

He's a 5v5 sink and basically just leached points from playing with Bedard and being on PP1 last season. He's not going to get those opportunities this year.

My largest pre-season bet was the under on Kurashev's point total.

Looking over that Chicago roster. Bedard and Vlasic are probably the only 2 players on that roster that you would put money on to be there whenever they do return to the PO. Everyone else under 25, still up in the air.

Not a fan of having someone up in the NHL one season, then the next season down to the A. Not sure if that was the best thing for Korchinski last season. Was he unbelievable like Dobson was in the Q when he was playing 30 minutes a game in his D+1 season to warrant moving up to the NHL last year?

He's just taking Millers spot while he has a maintenance day

I think we all know who should start but just in case you didn’t. Also, love that the Oilers have two goalie in bottom five.

Holy f*** Georgiev lmao

"maintenance day"

 

[Bgav]

"maintenance day"

I'd be more concerned if that had an actual full time NHLer in that spot for practice

I'll be less concerned if jt takes face offs tomorrow

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

I'd like to ride your hot streak...

I feel like 50% of your posts are just tacking on “I’ll” to the start and whatever OP said.

Is this about Kurashev? The others like, idk, I don't have an opinion on. Didn't mention them.

Why? Even just a filler for Miller for practice, having Bains practice with the number 1 unit is a net loss.

I’d prefer if someone actually competent was there instead.

Would you put money down on him to be there in 3-4 years or however long it does take Chicago to make the PO again? I wouldn't. He's one of the older youngsters at 25, so he'd be late 20's at least and a UFA that the team may move off from in a couple of years.
