GDT: Weaky Ducks vs Hawks, 19 Nov 2024, 7:30 PM CT

[Backyard Hockey]

Nice to see Connor with 2 apples but another game with only one SOG.

 

[Wally1112pac]

Cant fire Richardson

You need a guy like him to stand there for 60 minutes

Without him it screws up your entire coaching staff construction

Problem solved.

Third game in a row with only one PP…

1.They will not trade Murphy at TDL given he still has 1 more season on co tract unless they get a first back...to do that they will need to retain50%...If a team desperatecto add another RD for Cup rin this seson and next gives that up,I woukd accept a 2026 first...Do notcwantcax2925 first because 2926 is deeper draft in first round .. Best to accumulate first for that draft and bundle to move up.

If Murphy traded at TDL 2026 we will only get a rental short-term value back =notvacfirstvroubder..

Do we have to trade him at TDL 2025 or before IF a first rounder (for 2026) is the haul.

We certainly will not trade hom whike Jones is out.

That was the typical pathetic letdown we've seen all year. Get a tiny lead and blow it by getting outshot & outworked. This team is actually way worse than last year.

Glad I missed this one…. Impressive sounding tank loss.

In reading the GDT you’d have me convinced Bertuzzi and TT didn’t play.

And I’m with BWC…. trade Murphy before he gets hurt. With max retention and the need for a RD across the league a 1st rounder shouldn’t be out of the question.

 

[Clownish]

Imagine how much worse they would be if they would've kept Patrick Kane. No one would be developing and the culture would be awful!

 

[southsideIrish]

What really bugs me about an uninspired effort like that is they made me look at those hideous uniforms for 2 1/2 hours.

 

[shakes the clown]

I fully support getting Bedard away from the center position. Don't understand why it took this long? Wing is perfect. less defensive responsibility, less ground to cover to get to the offensive zone.

I like him paired with Dickenson since he is far and away the best center on the team.

not sure why it took this long to realize that pairing our two best players, Bedard and Dickerson, together makes a little bit of sense.

Glad they finally realized that they are only hurting Bedard by letting him play center. He's not a center.

It was weird though, I was saying with 2 minutes left in the first that that was the worst period I've ever seen Bedard play. Looked completely lost out there, like he was out figure skating. Had no clue where to go and what to do. Then he made that amazing play which I think was the first time he even touched the puck the entire period. Then another great play in teh 2nd.

The Hawks without Seth Jones are probably the worst team in the League this year (San Jose has upgraded in a few spots so they're quite as tanky). The multi-year vets haven't given enough. They need Teuvo and Bertuzzi to justify medium term contracts.

They were the worst team with Seth Jones lol

They're much more competitive with than without Seth Jones

 

[Larmer83]

So your advocating f***ing holding onto Murphy? It makes no sense

Trade his ass already before he gets hurt

And call up Crevier to play 25 minutes. The team is in last place and is goin to finish among worst in NHL

What message does it send to have trash like Joey Anderson as your 1st line winger? Let alone on an NHL roster to begin with?

Your reasons for not trading Murphy make no logical sense

Typing this and clicking "Post reply" does nothing for your argument.

much more? nah...slightly is a better word.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Bedard has 2 Even Strength Assists to Dickinson. Anderson does a good job working the boards, keeping pucks in play and defensively

...and everyone is fuming hot about Anderson being in a Kopecky-like role at Even Strength.

Talk about about misplaced anger.

Trading Murph posts have been going on for years and it never happens (for good reason, no team wants to give up anything for him).

After a good outing or two he reverts back to normal like what we saw last night. Hawks might be able to give him away but it would make Hawks putrid and weak defense worse.

Joey Anderson is a perfectly fine third wheel. I've never understood the vitriol he's gotten.

Hawks biggest issue with forwards, imo, is that players that are paid to give a little more, TT, Bertuzzi, Hall, Athanasiou, Kurashev.. simply aren’t.

Sure. So why does the bottom nine winger that's mediocre at everything get so much hate? My biggest issue with the Anderson slander is that those guys that hate on him promoted the f*** out of total bums. Anderson is a good thirteenth forward. He's a dull Swiss army knife. Like he's not very good but he's far from awful.

It's very interesting to me that you dislike Murphy, even though he's physical and plays ressponsible simple hockey.
