The Great Wyatt Kalynuk Appreciation thread (And former Hawks talk vol 8)

[Hawkaholic]

Looks like Domi has finally found a home in Toronto, which is fitting.

I like his game, (other than a tendency to pass first). Personally, I wish circumstances were different when he was here and he could have stayed in Chicago. I will be very interested to see if he (once again) rises to the occasion in the playoffs.

Once again? He has 6 playoff goals in 43GP

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I'd pay Domi Perry money for two years to be Bedard's Rottweiler and make some pretty hockey happen.

Ryan Shea's first NHL goal. Good for him.

Heard the name and was taken back. Also his first pt. He played 25 games this year, had no clue he made it to the nhl

Good Milton, MA boy. I liked him a bit in college. Not sure he was going to make it, happy he did.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

A 27 year old rookie. Had no idea he was playing in the NHL.

Kane trying his best to carry Wings into playoffs

I miss Kane

Scoring is up but Panarin's offically surpassed Kane's career high for points in a season. Hopefully he has a nice productive long playoff run this year, he's so easy to root for

Remember all the idiots that were like, Panarin is just a product of Kane! He's a 50 point player without him! Yeah. Good shit.

That was like everybody. Go look at the Panarin for Saad trade.

Last year we didn't know what the story was. Was Kane carrying Panarin? Could he generate by himself? Kane had a career year last year with him.. now this season, you truly see the dominance of Panarin. He is special. There is no "losing" Panarin in my opinion. You sign him to the deal you can get him signed to and you go from there. He hasn't even figured out the NHL completely.

Now I may or may not have said that we should keep Darling and get rid of CC to keep Panarin but we'll ignore that part.

I was like hey good player for good player but I think Panarin might be able to carry a teams offense better and I got blowback for that.

Being half right is still mostly wrong.

I have a Saad and a Panarin jersey, both sides of the trade.. Still wear the Panarin from time to time. One of my favorites. Hjalmarsson jersey is my go to though.

Hammer jersey is timeless. Niche enough for casuals to second guess but the people who know will always know.

Wasn’t sure where to put this so I’ll put it here. First time Quenneville has spoken since the Kyle Beach situation happened. Interview starts at 1:16:00

Needs its own thread. Will detract from the Strome effigy

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Strome with goal #27

65 pts now on year

300th pt of career

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Hagel with assists #47 and #48 tonight

Honestly, awesome to see Hags do so well. Kid works his ass off every shift and does the dirty work while being able to gel with highly skilled players. Really happy that he is seeing success and got a nice bag of money for life.

Hard to argue that it isn't still a win-win for us and Tampa. He stays, it can alter the Bedard outcome, and we don't have Moore to show for it, plus whoever we grab with our second 1st round pick this year. Was a shame to lose a guy like him but it just made sense given the price Tampa was willing to pay.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Today is Rangers final game

Panarin has a goal which is #49

He has 10 minutes to try and score #50 or he will end season just short

-- Panarin falls just short --

 

[CokenoPepsi]

That was like everybody. Go look at the Panarin for Saad trade.

Panarin and Kane should still be Blackhawks today.

Stupid trade

 

[Drumman44]

I don't know about that. He may love Toronto, and they might like him, but they are going to have to make some tough cap decisions this summer now that Willie is making $11.5m per.

We’ll see how Marner fares in the playoffs

His lifecycle seems to be

1. Do really well in the regular season
2. Underperform in the playoffs
3. Fans go apeshit
4. He is good again in the regular season.

Does his game just not translate well to the harder hitting, less special teams focused postseason? Or does he not excel at the matchup game in a long series?

Nick Seeler was smart to sign that deal with Flyers

He has been putrid since and over last few games had had lowest TOI of Flyer defenders

Smart? Dude's just not a total moron.

 

[deytookerjaabs]

Well, I can't help but appreciate a little irony in Kane signing with the Wings and they miss the playoffs even though he put up many a good moments.

Oh darn. Still, hockey is better with him in the postseason than out.
