What a huge disappointment Bertuzzi has been

We haven’t even finished the 10th period of the season…..

What a huge disappointment Bertuzzi has been

He started out slow last year too. He's also hit 2 posts so far as well. Battling some bad puck luck.

Bedard still cheats way too much.

What a huge disappointment Bertuzzi has been

He’s a notoriously slow starter. Ideally he gets going at some point and you get him up with Bedard and Teravainen. As good of a fit as foligno is there, he doesn’t have the legs to play 18 minutes a night for 82 games anymore

 

[Taze em]

Bedard too cherry picky in that period for my taste.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Solid

Great minds think alike.

Hopefully Frank will be up by the time they start easing up on Foligno's minutes

Bertuzzi and AA taking turns going one on five is not exactly what you want to see.

The warning bells went off on Bertuzzi's game last season in TO. As I said then, he wants to play a heavy game but doesn't have the size to pull it off. He's another Andrew Shaw in my mind.

Promise?

Bertuzzi did it with no one else around deep in their end, with 5 seconds left in the period, not as big of a deal as AA skating through the middle of the ice doing it, imo.

Hello Hawks fans, Flames fan here. Just wondering how y’all like Rick Ball’s play by play? We loved him in Calgary and I think he is truly one of the best in the biz.

Have a great season!

C'mon. Bert is 6'2 200 pounds. Shaw was like 5'10 180. They aren't remotely similar in size.

He’s been a welcome addition compared to what we had

You also

Bertuzzi hasn't looked great, you can tell he has the talent, but it seems like he mails it in too often for my liking. Hopefully he picks it up.

Seth has been great, he's a #1Dman when he plays like this, if he can do it for 70-80 games this year, we should be thrilled with his contract, but tough to see it happening, when it hasn't happened for a long time.

Maroon is completely useless. Lost in his own zone. Why he is here baffles me. Slow af, useless offensively, and we already have Foligno for vet presence.

That was one of the things Wing and B fans warned about him

It very much is concerning but let's wait a while to see if he shows more. If he is still playing like this in December then it very much will be issue

Bedard still cheats way too much.

Nah. This is modern hockey. He's been the guy deep in the zone in on the forecheck, and F3 coming back in the zone. You just swap positions in the defensive zone when that happens, so he has opportunities to cheat.

All your high level offensive talent cheats in this day and age.

 

[Taze em]

The biggest difference this year from last year is the D being a threat offensively.

Last year Hawks knew if they took a low % shot from the point they wouldn’t see the puck again in that shift.

Now they are bombs away I think partly because they have faith in their ability to get the puck back.

So many 2023-2024 games where we’d just pass it around the perimeter because possession itself was a huge W to them.

Here’s my view of the Xfinity Center Ice preview for tonight’s game on my TV.

Don’t make me side with the Hawks, Comcast.

It’s not winning hockey in the playoffs right now. Could be in 2027 when we’re ready, but right now you need to play below the puck.

Jones looking good in the early start to the season.
