GDT: Hawks @ Pens - 6PM CDT on...The U?!?

[Gurglesons]

Thought the Hawks young kids looked great in the first.

They look absolutely horrendous in the 2nd.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

1 shot all period.

 

[TLEH]

Even with that, he still looks better in his end than Korchinski does being a year younger and 70+ less games of experience. Might be the perfect example of the Hawks botching Korchinski's development in that sense.

I just feel like Korch just doesn’t impose himself on the game. He’s just trying to survive. Probably considering he played his entire 19 year old season trying to survive.

I can't tell you impressed I am with Rinzel. This kid is a natural.

Yep. Just smooth and love his passes, very crisp. Crazy that the kid isn't close to filling out his frame yet at 6'5" at 195. Which is fine I know at Minny they talked about not having him gain to.much to soon, wanted like 5-10 per year. Don't want kids over doing it and add to fast.

 

[Geoist]

Nazar tripped. Easy call. Wasn't called.

*edit* I guess it was a toepick.

 

[hawksfan50]

Bedard had a Generational one-timer shank...swing and a while..

Awful...

 

[hawksfan50]

Pp turnover by Bertuzzi..
Yikes!

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Everything about that period sucked.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

the f*** is going on there with Korchinski and Nazar to end period

 

[hawksfan50]

BAD period by the Hawks..

 

[Hattrick Kane]

I don’t know what Nazar has to do to get on PP1. Bertuzzi is f***ing useless and Donato literally is gone in 5 games.

 

[deytookerjaabs]

Been getting casually dismantled.

I’ll tell you this, there is not a chance in hell Korchinski is playing next game.

 

[clydesdale line]

Even Rinzel's entries on the PP are the smoothest out of anyone on the D. I still think Levshunov will be the guy longterm in that spot but Rinzel may very well not give it back.

 

[deytookerjaabs]

Kinda sad to say that Rinzel, Lev, Moore & Nazar all look so solid because....

What does that say about the development of Korch, Bedard, Reichel, Dach, Slaggert?

Maybe Hagens should be the pick this year. Besides Vlasic there's really no "home runs" being developed in house.

they need a few more top 5 picks to address forward

 

[hawksfan50]

I can believe Hawks have 20 Giveaways in 2 periods.. I cannot believe Pens have 16 giveaways.. butbit is officially so...the difference is that after Hawks give it away it stays in our zone with pressure by the Pens for great lengths of time ..but when they give it away to us,our cobtrol of the puck is very short-lived ...

I would still pick Misa BUT if I'm the Hawks, I would also let him go to college for a year instead of coming straight into the NHL.

 

[Crow]

Tough to watch

 

[deytookerjaabs]

And let those picks go to college where they can get proper development. I don't know how confident I am in the Hawks just putting more top picks on the ice as they just aren't getting anyone to over achieve so far.

I think it is too late for that, Rinzel is already #1 or 1b on this team.

#1 on the PP for sure.

 

[Callidusblackhawk]

Nice Murph

 

[TLEH]

I’d rather see Korchinski free wheeling like Lev and playing fearless to generate offense. I don’t even need him to be stellar defensively. But impose yourself. Lev is a mess but he atleast does that.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Feel good about the development of Levshunov and Nazar. Korchinski they f***ed up badly by not sending him back to junior but at the same time there are zero flashes of high end ability with him for being a 7th overall pick and he's played a lot of games. Does it mean he never will who knows but the sample size of nhl games is increasing on him.

 

[TLEH]

We’ll see where he is after the summer l. I’d like to just see him in Rockford all year.
