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

If this team had anybody else in Rockford worth calling up right now, Dach would be so sent down.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Outside of one board battle, Bedard a non factor that period. I don’t know what the solution is but something has to give.

RW

 

[Callidusblackhawk]

Dach oof those passes were so nice to get him there.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

We need to have a discussion about why every single line mate Bedard has immediately forgets how to play hockey around him.

 

[Tifosi]

Stop forcing Dach with 98/91 ffs

 

[WarriorofTime]

So the solution is ride it out and wait until his 21 or 22 and take it on faith that he’ll be great?

No clearly the solution is to panic and trade everyone under 23

 

[Kevin Musto]

Stop forcing Dach with 98/91 ffs

Yeah he should never play above the bottom 6

Just not the kind of player he is

 

[Crow]

Bedard is splitting time on 3 lines it appears. Waiting for him to play with maroon and reichel

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Hawks with a lot of turnovers

 

[BobbyJet]

Your solution to Bedard having endurance issues is for him to work on his....strength...and spend less time on the ice? Lmao

Less ice in practice time, I said. Let's hear your version .... oh yeah, forgot, nothing to worry about. Well, that's certainly not what he is showing right now. He looks pooped. Are you trying to say he is strong enough, especially on the puck and in the corners when he ends up there? Ops are rag dolling him at will.

 

[Crow]

Terrible pass by bedard, along the blue line but not out of the zone

 

[Backyard Hockey]

That Bedard line is just a mess on D.

 

[Callidusblackhawk]

Sanderson is just terrorizing the first line.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

I need Nazar to stop being a pumpkin. He’s not trying out there.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

funny thing about Bedard is he is one of the quickest ever to 100 points and honestly think he's brought his B- game to the NHL, so much room to grow for him and he's still producing at a high rate...he needs to get in the lab seriously on his skating for the next summers, go hire Kane's guy Pelfry or whatever his name is

 

[Pez68]

I wish more people who aren't on my ignore list were actually posting in this thread.

 

[Crow]

I think we should try Bedard on defense

Yep... he needs more explosiveness in his first 3 strides.

 

[Pez68]

I can't wait to come back to so many of these posts in a couple seasons. It's like a total deja vu of Patrick Kane's first few seasons. Some people just shouldn't comment on hockey at all.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Pretty frustrating that Bedard can’t get it going

 

[Pez68]

Bedard missed a fifth of the season last year. He's in an even bigger sophomore slump than most players, as a result. As his body acclimates to the NHL schedule, he will be fine. Stop stressing out.

 

[hawksfan50]

Hawksvonly 13shog thru 2 periods..6 by the dmen ...so only 7shog by the forwards..None by Bedard,Nazar,Reichel,Dach ...the kids playing like they do not belong in the Show..awful. Slaggert has 1 shog.

Turnovers/Give-aways all over thevplave..Zero sloppy and ineffective ..

 

[TLEH]

In general I agree but he's coming off a two week break. Its not like he's just been slugging along. I'm not stressed about 98 in the long term but I've definitely adjusted my expectations.

 

[GIADF]

Anyone ever hear from DHF?

He's in puppy love.
