I just want a multiple point night from Bedard to get that point per game pace closer to 82 on the season. Last multiple point game for him was 1/08 against Colorado. He's due.

There's been an uptick on his line with Nazar/Bertuzzi in scoring chances. I myself would love to see at least a 60/40% in total possession time, SOG, & faceoffs won. But not necessarily in the Hawks favor against the Canes.

But not necessarily in the Hawks favor against the Canes.

Probably not, but it's certainly possible we get the backup goalie again and a relaxed effort from Carolina playing down to their opponent and taking the night off.

Regardless, being able to see Bedard and Nazar play together is reason enough to watch the Hawks for a good reason. It's refreshing.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

If Bedard, Slaggert, Dach, Nazar or Reichel show anything it's a win for me. Vlasic, Allan, Crevier being invisible is also a positive for defensive defenseman.

 

[MHO]

Invisible is an interesting word but I get what you're saying. It just makes me think of Brodie and how 'visible' he is. I don't know if you guys remember Kimmo Timonen in the 2015 final against Tampa but every time he was on the ice, I got this feeling that something awful was about to happen.

I get the exact same feeling with Brodie.

I let out an audible groan about half the time I see Brodie on the ice for a shift.

I'm just so over him being here. He serves no role or purpose whatsoever combined with his atrocious play.

Just reading Kimmo Timonen's name gives me PTSD flashbacks.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

I’m so sick of this shit

KD needs to trade one of these vet Dman. It'll get even worse when Murphy comes back.

or just cut his losses and send Brodie to Rockford.

 

[Beukeboom Fan]

It physically hurts me to see Brodie in for either Allan or EDM.

 

[BHFAN92]

this GM needs to pull his head out of his ass and waive someone like Brodie or trade Seth Jones/Murphy... why bring up young kids who are sparking this team with energy only to bench them for lazy useless vets

 

[Drumman44]

or just cut his losses and send Brodie to Rockford.

Yeah just waive him. Sorry. Ride the bus for your millions TJ

I don’t mind Allan and EDM not playing every game. Yes, we want them to get experience, but they don’t need to be grinded down by playing every game. Rotating in and out, watching some games can be beneficial to development. Plus the vets help the tank cause.

More and more teams seem to be practicing load management for their young guys.

Vlasic’s a beast but he kinda looks tired lately. It’s a long season.

While I agree that an occasional game off is good for any hockey player to keep them fresh - Allan specifically is spending much more time in the pressbox than I'd like.

If we're really lucky, he might be inspired by Saad

He has looked good for sure

 

[Crow]

Oh no, Brodie again.

 

[clydesdale line]

The Teuvo revenge game.

 

[WarriorofTime]

They'll probably waive Brodie next year, but just rotate around the scratches the rest of the year. Del Mastro probably goes back to AHL once Murphy is cleared.
