GDT: Hawks @ Nucks, 15 Mar 2025, 9 PM CT

Levshunov , Nazar , Reichel were ok , the rest crap

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Levshunov is a much stronger on-puck defender than I anticipated at this stage. Biggest issue so far seems to be conditioning/staying engaged when he gets caught on a long shift. But I'm pleasantly surprised with his defensive game so far.

Yeah I really thought his problem in college was that he going to be a defensive liability, but he’s not at all. Skies the limit for him.

 

[Taze em]

The problem for this team is no longer the D. The wings and center are getting beat like a drum on good breakout passes from the D. We’ve solved one problem that has exposed the next problem. Which is awesome progress but still bruta to watch.

When your 1st line doesn’t get a single SOG in 4 straight periods including 3 against the worst team in the league, that’s a big problem

Give Sorensen his walking papers, another game they don’t start the first period.

i really don't get how you could get exactly what you wanted out of firing lurich, see that i was right and that the results would be slightly different but basically just as bad because the personell just isn't there, and then turn around and sincerely believe firing the *interim* coach three months after firing the other coach will have a different effect. it is the definition of insanity. obviously i'd like to see them bring in an actual coach for a change, but they could put the reanimated corpse of jack adams himself behind the bench, it won't give the blackhawks a real first line or first pairing to play. firing another coach also seems like a great way to make potential candidates think twice before signing for the gm with 2 sacked coaches in 4 seasons leading the front office.

Having both Donato and Bertuzzi on the same PP unit is so stupid.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Donato

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Donato having a hell of a night

 

[Pez68]

58 seconds for the 1st PP unit. Lol

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Another abysmal PP

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

The passing has been terrible and no one wants to shoot the puck

Unfortunately, 3/4 of those periods Bedard had 3rd liners on his line.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

I honestly hate Reichel. He’s worthless.

 

[Tifosi]

Hawks kept Donato and now he’s playing like shit cool

 

[Backyard Hockey]

2 of the worst PP we’ve seen all season. Zero sog. 0 for the last 11.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

f***ing looking for perfect pass and getting nothing as a result

 

[CanadianHawks]

I honestly hate Reichel. He’s worthless.

Just don’t see a spot for him. He hasn’t really figured out a role for himself under two coaches, incompetent as they are

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Martinez turnover leads to extended d zone time and Bedard takes penalty

 

[Putt Pirate]

Bedard needs to stop the dumb ass penalties.

I don’t think he’s an NHL player

Neither Martinez or Brodie should play rest of season (Well ever again for Hawks but we are likely stuck with Brodie for another year)

Well I question if he was actually doing amazing work down in Rockford, or if the kids were just close to ready.

Doesn’t seem like he does much coaching. But the tipping point was not being thrown out last game on the bullshit misconduct. He barely looked like he moved. That’s not the kind of guy I want in Chicago, or Rockford, or anywhere really.

A limp dick coach leads to these limp dick efforts.

Hopefully a buyout for Brodie.

 

[Pez68]

My ignore list is reset. UGH.

That was a great Davison move. Bring in a ‘vet’
who was planning on retiring.
