GDT: Hawks @ Flames 10/15/24 ChSn 8pm

Did they say Al Mac cut off Theibaults finger with a shot!?!?!?

I've seen some really nasty finger injuries from pucks, even in beer league.

Spoiler: Gross

This was from me putting my hand up to block a deflected shot that was heading at my throat.

Answer back

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I don't see it with Kaiser

He looks very pedestrian and underwhelming when on ice

 

[GIADF]

Reichel never makes that play on the PK that Anderson did.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Good answer to kill this one at least

 

[Pez68]

It's amazing what being aggressive on the PK will do for you.

 

[Callidusblackhawk]

I'm not sure what Kaiser has done to receive such hate this game lol. He's looked fine to me playing with Murphy who is struggling pretty mightily.

So far, and its still relatively early, the bad is the Hawks aren't getting scoring outside the first line. If that trend continues they should be managed for asset return and not bubble (unrealistic) aspirations. I would ice AA, Hall and Reichel together and move Dickinson's line down to the fourth line in the hope that AA and Hall can score some and make them attractive TDL candidates. Nothing else makes sense to me because winning a few more games this season and while still failing to be a bubble team is counterproductive. I'd rather have the Hawks on average lose in higher scoring games than lower scoring games.

Frolik sold me on this being true.

 

[BobbyJet]

TT .... just shoot the puck in the corner and go chase it, not a weak shot to the goal allowing one last good chance by Flames on the PK. His lack of intensity drives me crazy.

 

[belfour30]

Mrazek isn't as locked in as last year so far.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Brodie yeesh

 

[hawksrule]

Brodie is so bad I can’t take it.

 

[TLEH]

Brodie and Martinez both aren’t good.

 

[GIADF]

Brodie is the new Tinordi.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Brodie is so bad I can’t take it.

Can’t play Allan though

 

[TLEH]

Brodie is the new Tinordi.

Which is a massive improvement ironically.

 

[belfour30]

Brodie is the new Tinordi.

The extra year.....oof.

 

[deytookerjaabs]

Mrazek isn't as locked in as last year so far.

At this point last year he'd have over 30 SOG.

 

[Pez68]

Brodie has just been abysmal so far, outside of a shift or two. Give him a press box game and get Allan in.

 

[BobbyJet]

Brodie yeesh

His Gustafsson impersonation.

 

[GIADF]

Brodie is like 35 too so it’s gonna get a lot worse before it gets any better.

 

[TLEH]

Craig Smith sheesh x2. Donato was our best fourth liner makes no sense

 

[Pez68]

Brodie is like 35 too so it’s gonna get a lot worse before it gets any better.

Narrator: It doesn't get better.

 

[GIADF]

Narrator: It doesn't get better.

Nope, I guess what I meant to say is I didn’t realize he was that old until we signed him. That second year will never make sense.
