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

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.

I'm genuinely baffled by this conclusion.

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 goals that is beyond the skill of this roster as it is will be the reason why they are a sub-500 team.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing. The team plays hard and are still in line to get one of Hagens/Martone/Misa/Frondell/McQueen next summer.

Can you please stop with this? I know it’s your schtick but unless you’re trying to aggravate people it’s a bit unnecessary.

I think the Hawks are in a rebuild, aren't they? I don't blame fellow hawks hfboarders for being frustrated because the Hawks are icing an authentic NHL team this year (even if it is limited in what it can do) as opposed to the ahl team it iced last year due to injuries.

Of course the one post we can understand of yours is a critique of Bedard.

Ok, smart guy. Who on this team should play with Bedard. We saw tonight that he isn't getting the open ice he needs to be effective. Who?

Bedard and Teravainen lead the Hawks in points

Foligno is tied with Bedard for most goals

That line works

They just had an off night

How did Lukas look

It "works" but Foligno isn't really made to be doing that anymore.

How did Lukas look

He was robbed on a one timer, set up Smith with a cross-ice pass that Smith converted on a nice shot, and then took the puck to the net, shot it and Smith converted the rebound. He had a good game and even took the body and completed his checks.

i'm so bored of people suggesting that player x needs to be put with bedard to "get them going". all that matters is bedard. give him what he needs, he's not running a halfway house on the first line.

How did Lukas look

Looked decent. Skated hard. Played physical.

For sure. No one expects him to be there all season.

But saying the line is ineffective is wrong.
