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

  • Xenforo Cloud has upgraded us to version 2.3.6. Please report any issues you experience.
Kaiser has got tobstop Stutzle there .. Overpowered..

And INO he did direct it in with his skate ...not just edged in but to me was distinct directed in..but who knows if that qualifies as kicking motion.. it certainly was skate re-directedvin with a "sliding motion"..for future time when a Hawks pkayer re-directs puck deliberately with skate sliding motion which I guess NHL rules allow..the difference with kicking motions vs.skate sliding motion is that the knee is not involved to make thecre-direvting motion allowing puck to go from skate into the goal.

Skate-redirection off a bounce of the skate was always allowed by accidental cn tact witthe skate...but deliberate skate sliding over to redirect puck in is more than accidental drflectionoff a skate .
SO TECHNOCALLY not kicked it because the knee did not move the leg forward to direct it in with a skate ..but now we see that a backwards move of a skate sliding over to cause re-direction in appears to be ok under the rules..

I do not think this kind of motion with thevleg sliding the skate to a position to slide it in off the skate should be allowed as a good goal..but we now have a precedent signaling this leg action will count going forward with simar leg motions sliding your leg and skate backwards to then steer it in with the skate.
This had nothing to do with style crashing into Soda...He was wrestled in by the failed attempt to stop by Kaiser..No ..it appears to be only that a backwards move of leg and skate to then re-direct it in is allowed..but it it was a forward skate movement where the knee moves forward to movev the skate over = that would disallow a skate directed in goal
...so I guess wexare clear now on this rule..you Canmore your skate over ina backwards motion to then direct ina goal..but not in a forward motion which your knees moves forward to move the leg and skatevto a directing result.

An unusual goal because ee never before saw such a backwards move skate back to direct puck in with a deliberate redirecting attempt.

So now we know ...backwards ok to dire t in deliberately with the skate...forward motion with the skate not allowed as a goal.. simple...File it for future reference.

Kaiser sucks right now for sure. I thought he might be something he plays hard and he can really skate but he’s too slow to make decisions. I think he’ll bounce around the league for a while and maybe even eventually make it but I think Allan provides more upside in a similar 5 or 6 role.

Also Teravainen (who i would say is a middle six NHL forward) is officially tied with Bedard in points now for team lead. Bedard also only 4th on the team in goals. The scoring support is there and this season is a clear regression from last year. The problem really has been him this season, unfortunately. Slumps happen and hopefully we can all look back on this season as growing pains years from now.

Lots of work for the kid this offseason.
 
Feel like he just gets overly defended here and overly criticized by the media and the main boards.

Looking for him to carry the play a little more and make things happen with the extra space. He’s just not attacking. Hes also not confident after the slump. It happens.

But he’s been bad. It’s not his deployment or his linemates alone, he’s just been bad.

This. I know he’s 19, but he’s played with tons of different line mates. We aren’t seeing anything special to say he’s going to be a great one in a few years. I hope he is but people are saying that based on the scouting report and not on the eye test.

Exactly. Blaming his linemates, no matter who they may be, gets old. He'll be fine - as long as one can accept that he is not a generational player.

I’m not going to go as far as you are but like I said I’ve adjusted my expectations. I figured he’d be a 100+ point guy by 21. He was one of the best junior players of all time. I think I’d adjust that a bit downward based on what I’ve seen so far.
 
I was shocked to see that Ottawa hadx28 give-aways and Hawk only 7 (3 by Dach) ..it seemed to me it should be the other way around...6 take-awayscto JUST 1 for the Hawks seems low for Ottawa since they seemed to win posession in board battles through most of the game...

I giess theyv o not count FTCs (failures to clear) as give-aways ...because Hawks were FTC'ing all night ...
HAWKS kid forwards had rough outimgs.
. Nazar Dach and ReIchel had Zero shog...Slaggert only1 ...Bedard just 2 ( and these only generated in last 10 minutes ofv3rd period..
Da yutes looked over-matched ...did basically nothing.
 
After watching almost every game of his career I think stylistically and production-wise Kaprisov is a fair comparable. When Bedard was drafted I wouldve assumed Kaprisov was his floor unfortunately, but would still be a phenomenal outcome.

Its not based on scouting...its based on what i said earlier...that he's produced at the same level as Patrick Kane at same age with far less help. And this is all while, according to everyone, he's been playing awful/looks awful. Why would added age/experience/roster help/etc. plus everything we've seen him do already(again...he's produced, for a teenager, as well as some of the best players in franchise history despite the fact that he's underachieved) not be enough to convince you that he'll almost certainly be ok big picture?

When you say "we aren't seeing anything to say he's going to be great in a few years", well, i strongly disagree. As I believe that producing like he has, given all circumstances, qualifies as evidence that he will no doubt one day be great. Like Kane-level great.

There is no reason for Stutzle to beat Kaiser to even the near post let alone the back post. He is not strong enough for the NHL
