GDT: Hawks @ Utah 9pm ESPN 10/8/24 First game of the season you clowns

[Taze em]

Pretty decent, signs of life. Bedsy got his points. On to the next. Shrug

 

[SimpleJack]

disaster first period. brodie and smith shouldn't be in the nhl. this is gonna be a long march.

March? It isn't even November yet....

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

As expected.

disaster first period. brodie and smith shouldn't be in the nhl. this is gonna be a long march.

Honestly felt Brodie was fine after 1st period

Martinez was worse tonight IMO

 

[Kevin Musto]

Takeaway?

Foligno-Bedard-Teravainen work together

Kurashev and Hall work together

 

[bwanajamba]

Watchable game
Bedard two points

Everything else is noise. Luke better hope he can clean up that sleepwalking start though. How on earth does a team start the season like that

 

[Tifosi]

If they can figure out the PP to just be average at best this would be a close game.

March? It isn't even November yet....

march as in walking but it sucks.

Honestly felt Brodie was fine after 1st period

Martinez was worse tonight IMO

take your pick honestly. neither is inspiring confidence to start the year.

I mean it’s so blatant Brodie sewers every single partner he has.

 

[CanadianHawks]

PP is awful

Breakout needs work

Thought sticks were in the lane for the Hawks D especially

Kurashev blew coverage on the one goal but that’s to be expected he hasn’t played C. Thought he was very good from the second period on

Hall and Bert seem to work together, just like in Boston

Keep Vlasic and Jones together

Allan looks solid. Very encouraging

 

[HagelsBagels]

Chart matches the eye test

 

[clydesdale line]

Bedard took 15 faceoffs. He went 53%. That will do.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Chart matches the eye test

I disagree

Allan was good every time he was on ice

He should have played more than 10 minutes

Martinez should not be playing 24+ minutes a night in 2024

 

[WarriorofTime]

Had pretty rose-colored glasses on for Allan so wasn't watching super critically but he seemed pretty good compared to that chart.

 

[Northernhawk]

I actually like Martinez guys?

Well the encouraging thing is they have played a lot better in the 3rd period.. but Utah gets the en goal to finish it.

Bertuzzi almost got it tied before but hit post.

NYWAY..Hawks liked better and more cohesive in 3rd period..

A very poir start...lost game but much better in 3rd ..but now 5-2on a re-direction goal past Mrazek.

Bottom line: 2 goals for is always a recipe for failure..As are terrible starts.
Ugly score of course.But also Hawks had sone bad luck go agaibst them..Each team hitc2 posts so that cancels..but own goal deflection and and an en goal caused 2 GA...so there is that.

Hawjs missed finishing on several grade A scorong changes in 3rd period..It could have been a far different score and outcome.

The positive you take is that the team pkayed better after LR juggled the kibe combos and 1st 2 d-pairs(..

The Dreadful start of that awful 1st period dod the Hawks in...Chased the game after that.

Hopefully way they played in thex3rd till that en goal late and then that quick scoreafter,you hopecthey can carry the posession like they did most ofctgatx3rd period ..

I just hope it Drew's not take 2 period every game before Hawks wake up and pkay with morexenwrgy and purpose..Also hope finishing scoring chances getsxbetter.

Bedard confirmed good at defense now. He was a +1 so I know it's true.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Had pretty rose-colored glasses on for Allan so wasn't watching super critically but he seemed pretty good compared to that chart.

I don't think the chart makes him look bad

Says that his offense was poor, but defense was neutral

That's fine for a young stay at home defenseman

 

[ploppsdman]

My takeaway from this game is: how the f do you play the fourth line as your 2cd PP.

Stupefying.

 

[Kevin Musto]

I mean it’s so blatant Brodie sewers every single partner he has.

Kaiser is going to replace him very soon

 

[ploppsdman]

TJ is done. No idea what they were thinking.

 

[TLEH]

Yeah giving TJ the extra year was a very odd move. He’s cooked.

 

[statswatcher]

alec martinez with more minutes than vlasic is questionable at best.

 

[Kevin Musto]

TJ is done. No idea what they were thinking.

He'll hit waivers at some point this year and be an overpriced vet for the kids in Rockford

It's not my money, so I don't care

 

[TLEH]

Martinez played 24 minutes. Vlasic played 19. No reason for that. And Martinez played 3 more minutes at ES. Maroon played almost 14 minutes. Get real.
