GDT: 2/7/24 Wild @ Hawks 8:30 TNT

Why is Tinordi even playing? Put Crevier in there. Not only do you have Tinordi playing, you have him paired with another lefty.

 

[Geoist]

I expect him to be a bit harder on it.

There's a thousand examples of Reichel not playing hard. Just don't see that being one of them.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

That’s just the epitome of Entwistle right there. Get the puck up the middle, immediately has it poked it away. Teammate gets it, blasts in hilariously offside. What the hell does this team see in him?

 

[Pez68]

I expect him to be a bit harder on it.

I mean its not his "fault" that its a goal, Tinordi got beat to the net front by his man, but Reichel should battle that harder.

He's 21. He's still a boy against men out there. Your expectations need to be realistic. It isn't just a matter of "being harder on the puck" if the guy is just stronger and more solid on his skates than you are.

It's fun dummying the college kids in the corners when they are home from school. Old man strength is a thing.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

These guys couldn’t hit the ocean if they fell off a boat.

Its just a comment about a specific play. I think he's been fine tonight with his effort.

But it was against Faber who I think is 22? It was an awkward play. Just thought he could have done better. End of the day its Tinordi losing the race to the net for the free goal.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Gotta get Tyler out there luke

The least talented team I think I have ever seen in the NHL, honestly. In two years, I would be shocked to see more than 1-2 of these forwards still in the NHL.

First timeout Richardson has called all season???

Johnson
Raddysh
Foligno
Dickinson
Kurashev

Thats probably it when it comes to players that would find roles on other teams.

Johnson and Raddysh will both be out of the league next year, mark my words

The year after at the latest.

Johnson is washed. He's not in the NHL in two years. He never even plays because he's always hurt. He will struggle to get a contract this offseason.

Raddysh? Meh. Maybe as a 4th liner.

Foligno is done after his next contract. He turns 37 this year.

Dickinson and Kurashev for sure.

That's it.

I misread it. I thought you meant next year.

Yeah.. two years is probably only Dickinson and Kurashev.

Hardly worth commenting on...same old ...same old ..Team of 5th line forwards...Orvmaybev7th line talent only (oe.not nhl level players up front...OImean Nobody woukd makeca contending tends 4th line from the forwards Hawks out onthevocevtonoght..So again
.
Not worth commenting on futility via absence of ANY talent up front worth paying NJL salaries to.

Obviously team mosses Bedard for scoring.
But even he cannot alone make up for the absence of offense from thevotherc12 forwards you would need tobchoose off this roster.

Play out season.. CUT and bring in some better actual NHL talent up front...else nextcsesson be more ofvsame old same old futility all-stars.

Old man strength? The guy that got the puck away is 97 days younger and was drafted 28 picks later in the same draft.

Blackwell is a fairly typical 11th/12th/13th forward type.

Anderson has had a good season, one of the few to raise his profile from where he began (waiver fodder) to now. Still fairly young, seems like a decent median level 3rd line type over next couple seasons.

Donato is 4th line type, the production is disappointing given ice time bump but with talent deficiencies I suppose not overly surprising for a player of his caliber. Shooting % is probably a bit unlucky too.

Reichel idk maybe in a year or so. Has some good skill but has a lot of work to do and way too many deficiencies and way too little production for the ice time he's receiving to be anywhere close to a playoff-caliber team right now.

Issue with the Hawks is really that they currently don't have any top-6 forwards or even really temp fill-in "can somewhat get by" top 6 forwards. A healthy Bedard, Beauvillier, Athanasiou, Hall gives you enough players to at least sort of fill out the latter criteria.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Well then. Fleury didn’t play tonight, he was likely of interest. Other Wild names likely available are Duhaime, Johansson, Bogosion, Goligiski and Middleton.

As for the Hawks, I can’t imagine any scouts were impressed with anyone. Murphy was out, but I guess they could be looking at TyJo, Raddysh, Blackwell, or any of our other garbage. Tough outing overall if you’re a scout.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

It's been two years and Ryan Carpenter is still in the NHL. They suck but more than a few of these guys will still be playing in the show come 2026.

 

[hockeydoug]

That first period was the worst period of hockey by a team I have ever seen. The only shot was a flip-in that bounced gently towards the net.

Shows how diluted the talent level is in NHL.

 

[WarriorofTime]

While watching Tinordi and M. Foligno fight last night, I was wondering, have two brothers ever fought in an NHL game before?

Hunter brothers back in the day.

Pretty sure the Primeau brothers fought in the late 90s. I remember Pang bringing that up in the broadcast.

 

[hockeydoug]

Why is Tinordi even playing? Put Crevier in there. Not only do you have Tinordi playing, you have him paired with another lefty.

I'm starting to think Richardson doesn't care which side players shoot from, ever.

 

[HLLYWD99]

Katchouk & Raddysh(did we get a 1st rounder?) for Hagel still stings!
