GDT: Senators @ Hawks, 5 Mar 2025, 6:30 PM CT, ESPN+

[BobbyJet]

Once again, Bedards linemates are in the blender. Nice job, Sorenson!

The line would be fine if they could keep possession.... otherwise a tough task for Dach trying to cover for those two linemates. I won't be surprised to see the blender back before the first period has ended.

If he isn't injured, Hawks get a failing grade in their treatment of Allan

 

[Sinbad]

Bedard has got to get "involved" ...goita get out of his slump..He cannot just sit back and let Nazar and Dach feed each other without him touching pucks or carrying it in then dead ending it so that Nazar and Dach not touching the puck..he has to work with his wingers not watch them...He has to mess with his linemates not be off doing his own thing...ineffectiveky ..If he does his own thing effectiveky(hogh shots or high danger creativity that is ok
..but if his "thing" geys stymied which limits Nazar and Dach or forces then to do their "thibgs" without him then the libexas a whole will be limited.. We mist see Bedard pkay better himself butcalso show he can make hisckibemates more productive..if this FSILS and Bedard goes pointless again...with low shots again the we all have got to be alarmed at such a regression to nothing.
So I am coming hom out to show us again why hexwas picked #1...no more justc29 excuses..no more giota have better help excuses.. HE has gotvto pass our eye test and the stats test both.


Snap out of the doldrums CB!!!

How about letting Bedard have the same linemates for a few games, the continuous line juggling has been absolutely ridiculous. What is this, the 40th different combinations this season?

Possession has been a problem for Bedards lines.

Allan was sent down 5 days ago.

Soda gets the start tonight.

While there's no reason to move him, one has to wonder if Kyle is getting calls about him.

Gotta think the only way they move him is if some team gives up a good forward prospect which would be crazy.

Is this ESPN+ only or nationally televised?

I canceled ESPN+ because I wasn't using it.

It will be on CHSN if you either bought the app or if you went through the effort of installing an antenna to watch them OTA

Yeah I have the app. Hopefully it works today. Will bring it upstairs and hopefully it works.

 

[Chuck Testa]

This is true. As a sens fan, I always bet my hawks fan friend at work a coffee...whoever loses buys the winner a coffee.

I feel like I've bought him 10 coffees and never gotten one back.

I'm not sure what it is, either.

I mean, I understand the Sens struggling to beat the powerhouse Hawks teams circa 09'-16' but even these past few years with pretty poor Hawks teams, the Sens have seemed to struggle with them.

And I have a soft spot for the Sens as well because I run in to Drake Batherson's grandfather at the local gym from time to time (and Drake used to play for the local QMJHL team the Screaming Eagles)

Soderblom + Toronto 1st for Nate Danielson?

Soderblom for Sam O'Reilly?

Soderblom for Gavin Brindley?

if Donato gets hurt tonight, I'm punching a hole through the wall

ESPN + is complete trash. Very low quality stream.

I just bought a small antenna off amazon and connected it to the tv upstairs and had no issues so far. Had to buy a stronger one for the living room tv but it still is basically only the size of a pencil which is nice no complaints so far on it

Works great for me.

I live 55 miles away from downtown.

Not that it is reliable but my guide says it is not on CHSN tonight...only NHL network.

 

[Pez68]

It's not at all. I watch a ton of hockey on ESPN+, on a really good TV. No complaints at all, aside from the occasional hiccup.

I really like the update they did to the app a month or two ago. Navigating it before was my only complaint but now it’s super smooth.

I was literally telling my buddy I'm shocked he's playing tonight. You would think you would let your most valuable trade asset you have left be a healthy scratch for trade purposes. If he gets hurt, Hawks brass should absolutely get ripped apart about it.

 

[hawksfan50]

Since they do not knowc if Brossoit ever conescback or of hecwill be ready next season,best not to trade Sida..

Will need 2 goalies to win thru 82 games..

If Brossoit shows he is back to form at training camp,THEN make a deal trading him Or Soda to a team looking for goalie help.

No it doesn't make sense. Unless the Hawks are extending Donato.

 

[Crow]

Works great for me.

I have no issues with any other apps except peacock which is also trash (according to me). ESPN plus is so blurry i can barely make out the players numbers. Not sure why.

I don’t get it.

 

[Crow]

It’s not my tv or internet. Tv is a brand new mid range one. Not only do they work well on other apps, but I know how to test the speed I’m getting to my fire stick.

What are you guys using as a streaming device? I have a fire stick 4K max. I also have an Apple TV but I haven’t tried it yet it’s been in the box on the floor a couple days.

 

[BobbyJet]

Of course, I'd prefer that he be traded as a rental and then re-signed by Chicago in the off-season; but Donato playing tonight leads me to believe that the GM has not received a serious offer.
It wouldn't be the worst thing to extend him .... especially if KD is being lowballed for Donato's services.

I have a Samsung and LG tv with the ESPN app built in. Maybe that’s your issue if you have something plugged in.

Neither of my TVs were anything obscenely expensive.
