GDT: Kings @ Hawks, 3 Mar 2025, 7:30 PM CT

[Darkstar]

Me and the b’ys went tubing in Hexwasxa right before Weird Sudbury

Gotta set the tone.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Jones w 3 shots, 2 blocks and 1 hit tonight. Wow. Cant remember last time he blocked a shot here or had a hit.

Good riddance.

thank you Seth for landing the Hawks a generational goalie

Wut? He's always had a standard high blocked shots number over 100 each year. The utah game he had credited 5 hits and 4 shot blocks. Acting like he didn't try is bizarre

[Darkstar]

No maybes on last two and Im throwing Reichel in there too

He'll be part of the package for Cozens and Quinn.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Toronto 1st+?

 

[Darkstar]

Toronto 1st+?

I'd imagine they would want a decent prospect also.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

I'd imagine they would want a decent prospect also.

Dach for Nazar seems like a decent comp..so Toronto 1st and Reichel for Cozens could make some sense give or take some other pieces if Quinn is in the deal, Reichel plays with Peterka, get a late 1st and 6m in cap savings, Hawks get a cost controlled forward with ppg upside that gets a change of scenery, would prefer to keep Reichel and still get Cozens but if they want a young forward back fine

 

[x Tame Impala]

Was at the game tonight…

-Knight was very good, well-earned 1st star and he was loving the standing ovation at the end there. Great way to welcome the kid to the city.

-We’ve done a great job in this rebuild so far drafting and developing defenseman. Kaiser moves around really well, I saw him make probably 3 great plays based on his skating alone. EDM is fun to watch too.

I think we need a Dman with more offensive threat to his game though. Cycling back to the Dmen on the point is really just keeping possession, I don’t think goalies or defenses worry about them much. Yeah we need a forward in this draft but landing a great 2way guy in Schaefer would be phenomenal.

-Bedard needs more speed/quickness to his game. Yes, VERY true he needs more talented forwards around him but he’s not a significant enough scoring threat on his own (yet). His game will get better as he gets older and he fills out but he doesn’t look dangerous out there other than making passes his teammates aren’t good enough to get or finish.

-Gotta give it up for Drew Doughty. It’s my first time watching him live. The guy is simply a really smart player. He knows where to be and what to be doing at all times, he makes it look effortless out there and like he’s one step ahead. When I was playing baseball as a kid I was taught “if you don’t know what you’re going to do before it happens then you’re already too far behind”. Doughty plays that way and it was sick to watch him in person. Kopitar too.

Really too bad Toews and Seabrook aged out as poorly as they did. We won one more Cup than LA which is all that matters but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t jealous they get to watch their all time great 1C and 1D play this well and for this long.

 

[Chuck Testa]

Team Misa all the way we desperately need a center like him. But I also believe in Vlasic KK Lev and Rinzel as a top 4D

Ideally, the Hawks are able to draft Misa or Schaefer. I'm good with either or.

 

[eklund2chicago]

Sooo Teravainen is a top 10 scorer in the NHL since the middle of December with 35 points in his last 31 games. Didn’t expect that.

 

[rockymtnoyster]

 

[bwana63]

stoked about how Dach played. lotta grit and physicality. if he can do that consistently, he'll be with the Hawks for a long time

 

[Taze em]

I saw a stat that the Hawks are 5-0-1 in last 6 without jones? Is that true?

They played really well when he was out with his foot injury

terrible signing by KD 3 Y at 5.5 or so is a massive overpayment for a 65 pt winf in UFA.

Yep. The criticism of Jones' play was over the top when he was here - it seems some posters want to keep sticking it to him. He will get the last laugh in the playoffs.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I really dont understand what Kings are doing with Clarke

If they trade him, it will be yet another Blake blunder

 

[Hattrick Kane]

He needs Del Mastro to cover for him like he did at the world juniors.

 

[Behn Wilson]

he played the worst hockey of his tenure when he came back from his injury, the criticism was just. The crowd did not boo him for no reason.

In fairness to Seth it is likely he returned to soon and was probably not at 100%

 

[giza]

I was at the game last night....first period was as ugly as it looked. Nice seeing eye shot by Martinez stopped the bleeding a bit, but Kings just looked physically imposing ......Hawks need much more size with the forwards. The 2nd period, the Hawks speed was insane and you could see the Kings were a little deer in the headlight ....the counter attack was great to see and they deserved to come out of the 2nd with the lead. That early goal in the 3rd really might have hurt their mindset as they began to sit back a bit. Knight was solid throughout....tracks pucks, square to the shooter, in control---that has to help a young team---knowing the goalie is playing well and is in control. I thought Reichel was pretty noticable last night---seemed to have more urgency to his game. TT and the Russian were solid. When the other team has to contend with Reichel, AA, Nazar, the Russian,......that's going to make the other team's D sit back a bit. Dach with a nice game and look away feed to AA.....great game to go to!!!!

Is this sarcasm?

A 65pt wing at $5.5M is a great signing.

No thanks to clarke

 

[bwana63]

especially when the Hawks have money to burn
