GDT: Sabres @ Hawks 10/19/24 7pm Chsn

[TLEH]

Hall is like a slightly better AA. Guys got nothing up top.

Thought our top line just wasn’t good enough tonight.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Can we all collectively agree that AA should never play another game as a Hawk?

Bedard was very quiet for sure.

He was invisible. That's not a bad thing.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Foligno and Hall killed us. Reichel with a great night.

 

[Kevin Musto]

He was invisible. That's not a bad thing.

It is when he's taking a spot away from AHL superstar and Rockford leader Frank Nazar

Looks about right to me. I hate Brodie. He's this season's Tinordi. Ice is just absolutely tilted towards the Blackhawk's net every time he's on the ice. Worthless. Give me any of the rookies over him.

Lines up with the eye test tonight. Brodie cost us the game and Reichel was buzzing.

 

[Weltschmerz]

Reichel looked good, hope he can keep it up

 

[Pez68]

Words really can't describe how bad Brodie has been. It's insane he has another year after this.

 

[CallMeShaft]

A pretty good game altogether. Reichel showed he still has a shot at being an NHLer. Hawks controlled play. Was close to the final minute. Didn't hurt the tank any.

Just a shame Bedard was held off the score sheet.

 

[hawksrule]

Couldn’t watch, was at the symphony. Looks like the top line didn’t show up? How was Allan?

 

[BobbyJet]

Hall has been a turnover machine all night, trying to force his way through traffic.

Which is why Hall needs to rejoin line 1 where the offensive talent is. And by tonight's performance, 98 isn't getting the offensive support he needs either. Trying them again together only makes sense to me.

1C (Bedard ) Fail...only 2 SHOG ...no points by his line...
2C Fail (Kurashev) only 1SHOG ...no points by his line.

3C Fail (Dickinson ) Zero SHOG ...no pints by his line..

= a Top 9 big Fail..


Depending on 4th line wine games is asking too much..When 4th linevis your best linevof the noght and produces 2 goals ,they are wasted when the top 3clinrs Fail so miserably to beat a goalie.

So pretty easy to blame top 3 lines for no shows tonight.

Allan was steady.... line 1 was invisible.

He's entirely invisible in the best way.

I’d give Reichel a few games on the top line. I mean, it can’t be Foligno all year. If Reichel can still play with that jam, it could be magic.

The Hawks are a better team this year, but they still don't have enough o power on the top 3 lines. Against the Sharks, they should have had more goals, especially on the 5 on 3s. Against the Sabres, Reichel came alive but the Hawks got nothing from the top two lines. That's the reason the Hawks will be a lottery team again this year because game-to-game so far they just don't score enough. Its a roster thing.

Can the Hawks get someone better than Hall and AA to play on this team without giving up too much? Is it too soon to call up Nazar? If you say its too soon to do either, then get ready to be disappointed all year because the 30 to 40 extra goals that is beyond the skill of this roster as it is will be the reason why they are a sub-500 team.

Reichel had one of his better games. He needs to show up on the scorecard though.

He had two assists my dude. He was fantastic tonight.

They don’t work together at all. Hall has never worked well with high end talent, and that experiment should not be tried. Even when he won the hart, his linemates were plugs. He’s a one track mind who works best when his linemates stay out of his way.

[mod]

One, if you’re gonna develop him as a fourth liner, just let him go. There’s no point to that and is not at all helpful. Two, he has actual skill to be able to play with Bedard and TT and not botch every pass like say Hall will.

Now, before that happens, they need to sit Reichel down and have him understand that this will not work if he doesn’t play exactly like he has the past two games. There’s a major opportunity for him and he needs to truly grab hold this time or he’ll just go back to the press box.

Giving Foligno and Hall these opportunities no questions asked makes no sense. Because by the time the Hawks are ready to compete, they’ll both be long gone. And then we’ll be bitching about how none of these kids have any experience and look lost because guess what? Vets blocked them the whole time so they had no room to develop.

2 assists and got robbed of a goal
