Bedard basically invisible. Was active on the PP but just blends in 5 on 5

 

[NyQuil]

The Hawks' Ryan Donato.
Having a really good year after stumbling and bumbling through his Bruins, Sharks, and Wild tenures.

That said, he is a pending UFA...and he MIGHT be Fool's Gold.
Wouldn't surprise me if someone gave him a nice fat contract based on this season, and goes back to being bottom sixer extraordinaire...with the pedestrian numbers to match...

Looking at his career, his 17.4% shooting doesn’t look sustainable.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

I was thinking why the Lightning didn't try to trade for him, or even sign him in the off season....but again...I worry based on his track record.

He either FINALLY broke out and this is who he is.... or is playing way above his head and someone's gonna get burnt on a contract.

He is the epitome of complete wild card.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to overpay for him, but I think he'd be good with the right linemate

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Nashville scores early and makes it 1-0.

No worries...plenty of time for your boys to get back into the Empty Cup playoffs.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

How the hell do you call that a hooking penalty?

There was no hook

 

[Summer Rose]

No worries...plenty of time for your boys to get back into the Empty Cup playoffs.

They should have reverse playoffs for the 16 teams that don't make the playoffs. Loser of each series advances, and the loser of the finals is awarded with... okay I haven't really thought this out.

 

[Gjman2019]

And I'd say the Sedin Nucks were better

They did go much further but i just was never sold on them for some reason..........Not surprised Boton out scored them 23-8 in the finals.....

 

[Ghost of Murph]

PP looks awesome with Demidov on it.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Reichel draws a penalty... where is his head and his game in all of this? Seems he desperately needs another opportunity in the NHL with someone else.

Hawks like d. Mailloux for Reichel.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

The East really has fallen off a cliff....this Habs team is horrific.

Yea, because one, still very young Habs team is representative of an entire Conference.

Top of the East has real contenders, and really, Montreal is STILL learning how to win.
The fact they are on the verge of a playoff spot at this stage of their rebuild against the powerhouse East teams is impressive on their part.

Horrific is hardly the word I'd use for them.

 

[DearDiary]

The Hawks PK is pathetic. Habs look like they're playing on European ice

 

[Pablo El Perro]

They did go much further but i just was never sold on them for some reason..........Not surprised Boton out scored them 23-8 in the finals.....

But the Naslund-Bert teams never came close

He's, I believe, a Rangers fan, so it's understandable

Year 3 of a rebuild. Go talk to Detroit, Pittsburgh, Boston, Buffalo, NYR, NYI, etc

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

He's just not a very effective 5v5 player at this stage of his development

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Ohhhhhh.....yea....that....errrrrr, hmmmm......
Train....mmmphh....wreck....hmmmphhm...hmmm....

If I was the Hawks I am throwing 15M at Marner. He'll have Bedard scoring 40 minimum and give him some legit support. Marner is good enough to carry the line and he'll get better playing with him. Also covers his defense.

 

[BB79]

Pittsburgh, Boston and the Rangers have been powerhouses for years, and those at the top today inevitably will be at the bottom again tomorrow. Cycle of life of an NHL team. Except for Buffalo because bad ownership is much harder to get rid of

I mean, 4 of those teams have either just started, or not even began one yet.

I don't get your point..."These teams are worse" ...Sure, if I stated the Habs were the worst team in the league, you may have a point.

 

[Summer Rose]

Utah ties the game at 1!

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Gets to put on an absolute show in the best arena on the planet right now , lucky kid , when you're good you're good. He was ridiculous on the last powerplay

 

[Ghost of Murph]

Lol. Zero point to putting the stick into the skate of the goalie behind the net on that play. Elevator not going too far up in Moore's head on that play

 

[BB79]

Utah ties the game at 1!

Go Yotah!

You’re complaining the east is shit and Montreal doesn’t deserve to be fighting for a playoff spot. Montreal is actually overachieving. It’s your tone that sucks.

 

[Gjman2019]

But the Naslund-Bert teams never came close

No sadly they never did. (like i said above, not enough in net)
