GDT: Hawks @ Jets 10/11/24 7pm CHSN for some Wgn radio for the rest

[Hattrick Kane]

The effort was there all game which is huge. But if you can’t score, this’ll happen a lot.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Lines looked good.

Soda was great.

As far as changes are concerned, I think Allan should play over Kaiser.

And Nazar should be up over Anderson.

Takes:
- The Hawks have more hockey IQ on the ice this year. The guys who left didn't seem to know what they were trying to do, or maybe more importantly, what their linemates were trying to do! That includes not only the fake NHLers iced last year, but Raddysh too. That doesn't make the Hawks a good NHL team though (obviously), but they're not a half AHL team anymore.
- That was a GD crying shame for Arvid. Too bad.

 

[BobbyJet]

Strange shot from teuvo. Yeah, it was on net, but a super easy save and immediate possession to Winnipeg

Exactly. Possession is the name of the game in OT.

TT hasn't changed. Good hockey player who always leaves you wanting.

On a limited sample size the Hawks take much longer this year to sag in the third period when having a lead.

The mount Carmel Joliet catholic game on marquee is student produced and announced and it’s higher quality

It is Mt. Carmel!

Guys, Vlasic might accidentally be a 1D

Vlasic-Levshunov FTW.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Feel bad for Soda. He didn’t deserve that. Bad decision by TT and horrible play by Kurashev, but ultimately comes down to this team not being able to win faceoffs.

A change in coaching and culture is badly needed

3 goals in 2 games. Not got to win much doing that.

Nope. Kaiser and Allan. Although I thought both Martinez and to lesser extent Brodie were solid. And Reichel in for Anderson. Nazar will get his chance.

If Brodie and Martinez play the way they did tonight on a regular basis, Kaiser becomes the designated 7D.

And that's not because I think Kaiser was bad. I just think as long as those guys are playing well, you default to size. Kaiser is the smallest D on the roster.

It’s kind of insane how he’s progressed. And they have him on an insane deal to boot.

 

[Kevin Musto]

It is insane, because not a single person anticipated it. Not even the Blackhawks.

The contract is the crazy part. His caphit is looking comically low. KD got a 50% off coupon.

 

[Kurtosis]

I think this team will have the D figured out moving forward. We really need to find some impact forwards next draft. You still have to put pucks in the net.

if Rantanen hits the market do you back up the brinks truck for him? these guys never seem to but eventually one of these guys has to test the market

 

[WarriorofTime]

Almost the shutout but can’t win with 1.

 

[Kurtosis]

Within reason. He turns 28 this season so it’s kind of a question if they want to tie him up for 6+ years when they have a lot of draft picks and young talent coming up that are going to need contracts.

The Vlasic contract looks like it is going to help a ton.

You'd have to consider it for sure.

Followed by McDavid in 2026

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Wish they’d try Vlasic on PP1. Can’t be any worse.

He'd easily double his points from last season if he was on the power play
