Poor Donato can’t even get on PP2 despite leading the team in goals.

NHL app says soderblom is starting. Is that usually accurate or confirmed otherwise?

It would probably be the best to give him this game and let Mrazek get some extra rest to start versus the Ducks the next day.

Can’t believe much of what you read I guess. I was wrong to assume the op was correct on Donato and wrong to assume that what I read on nhl.col was right about soderblom.

Malagahawks · 2024-11-02T02:34:54-0400

WTF? Teuvo on the 3rd line. I had not heen noticing, how long has that been happening?

He was with Bedard against the Sharks.

hawksfan50 · 2024-11-02T10:55:08-0400

Comnor Bedard only 3 multi-point games in last 25 GP...only ONE 3 point game among those 3...
Connor Bedard only 4 goals in lastc25 GP...4 for 75 shots on goal ..

The"GENERATIONAL" goal scorer in fizzle mode,not beating goalies..

Still a minus player (-3) in first 11 GP this season...but thatvis an improved pace from -44 for 23/24 season.

Of course he is GENERATIONALLY BAD at faceoffs.

Should he stay at 2C or be moved to wing?

Shoukd he be moved closer to the net on the PP1 =ie. bumper spit?

Why is he not creating any 2 on1 transitions?

Is he a FAIIL as a 1C?

Woukdxabmkve to wing give him more 2 on1s and generate more North South rush ippourtuties to eitger fire in netbor take more pucks to the net.

The way teams clog the middle agaibst him and he fails to get through the clip to firebox net you have got to consider sone drastic changes with him to get him back to better goalbscori g .

Not that I’m agreeing with fiddy, but it is time for Bedard to start doing something.

It’s why I’m so adamant he needs a legit top line guy to help him. It’s too easy for the defense to focus on him and shut him down and we don’t have any internal help coming anytime soon.

Or we can be in year 4 of Bedard saying the same shit.

And I’m not worried about his talent, he flashes it constantly… but it’s impossible for him to do anything when he’s smothered by two opposing players every shift and doesn’t have McDavid like skating to get away from them.

Toews2Bickell · 2024-11-02T12:03:49-0400

move Bedard to RW and slot him with Nazar when he's ready and Teuvo at LW, let him focus solely on maximizing his offensive production and give Nazar the two way responsibilities

Don’t love this for Nazar’s development. That’s a lot to put on his shoulders for his first NHL action.

Whatever the case may be, I just would want Bedard to be thinking all offense all the time much like Hawks did with Kane allowing him to do what he did for years

100% with you, just don’t think Nazar is the answer for Bedard yet.

I could actually see Bertuzzi’s game meshing well with Nazar.

Toews2Bickell · 2024-11-02T12:21:41-0400

imagine the line...Rantanen-Nazar-Bedard...you add an elite 2C with a top 3 pick this upcoming draft, then you're talking about some real top 6 pieces to build around in addition to the defense group they've accumulated...if you really want to speed it up you sign Rantanen and Marner and put one with Bedard and the other with the second line, try to Campbell the Jones deal any way possible, then you're looking at maybe a playoff team if the defense pans out and they find a goalie

The secret to Fiddy's typing issue has been unlocked:

Damnit, LH had him getting special training & now scratched.

hawksfan50 · 2024-11-02T13:57:22-0400

TT demoted to 3rd line...Donato promoted to Bedard line ...

Well LR had to do something!

11 games is all it took. Way to go Kyle.

Yeah, but in all due fairness not many if any has the skating speed or footwork of McDavid.

Of course not, which is why a supporting cast for Bedard is more important than McDavid given their respective skill sets.

deytookerjaabs · 2024-11-02T15:27:06-0400

Bedard might not be scoring, but his game has taken a huge leap since last year. I almost prefer the focus be on top shelf fundamentals so when the scoring touch comes we'll have a far more dominant player.

Toews2Bickell · 2024-11-02T15:46:54-0400

wasn't Phillips just waived to start season? Tank commander if EDM and Korchinski are staying in RFD?
