GDT: Hawks @ Blues, 08 Feb 2025, 6 PM CST

[Hattrick Kane]

Donato can stay (or come back July 1st) if he keeps making these give and go plays.

I liken it to an engine redlining. You’re getting the most out of it right now, but at some point, the engine is going to fail. Donato isn’t going to keep this up forever.

And think about what his contract demands will be, but for the guy he previously was.

 

[BobbyJet]

It's nice to see a first line that plays at speed and that doesn't totally rely on Bedard to create offense. Slaggert should be here to stay.

 

[GIADF]

Ffs


Bad play by Nazar. He’ll learn from that.

 

[Callidusblackhawk]

Nightmare start to this second period. Yikes.

 

[WarriorofTime]

That one is brutal

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Nazar absolutely terrible there

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Nazar oof.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Launch Brodie into the sun

 

[TLEH]

Way too many forwards blowing the zone right now

 

[GIADF]

Feels like the Hawks haven’t had a SOG in forever unless I missed one.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Absolutely horrible call

 

[GIADF]

lol “trip”

 

[Hattrick Kane]

It’s hard to watch when it’s so obviously rigged against the Hawks.

 

[Tifosi]

Fking joke officiating

 

[BobbyJet]

So cheap.

 

[GIADF]

If I had a tin foil hat to put on I would have to say Bedard did something to piss everyone off behind the scenes. Perry banging his mom thing, recent media against him, outrageous calls against him and his team.


It doesn’t make any sense.

 

[Panzerspitze]

Kyrou the diver

 

[Putt Pirate]

Might be running gout of gas from last night.

 

[GIADF]

Rough shift for Bedard in his own zone.

 

[ello]

Bedard is so prone to d zone turnovers after being hemmed in. It's like he just forgets basic hockey 101 and just tries a soft pass into the middle instead of bearing down and banking it out

 

[TLEH]

Bedard definitely has to learn to manage the puck better but a lot of it comes from not getting off shifts in the correct time.

Agreed but I do wonder how much that would improve with having proper top line linemates. It doesn’t excuse him for now, but it does cross my mind.

Him lazily floating on defense and kind of just hoping a lazy play will flip the ice drives me nuts.

Not asking him to be Selke level defensively but come on man skate and play hard at least.

 

[Putt Pirate]

Bedard hasn’t had a proper NHL coach yet either. They need to get that right next hire.

 

[GIADF]

Alright nice basic play by Bedard there for a change.

 

[Callidusblackhawk]

Mikeyev's passing makes me cringe.
