GDT: Bruins @ Hawks 7:30 ESPN 10/24/23

[Hawkaholic]

Neither would Toews.....

And you used only half the quote for a reason. Here ya go man.

-This quickly into the season I didnt think I would be missing having toews and kane. Them playing on this roster IMO would be helpful right now because of what they brought as players-

I quoted the whole thing? What?

 

[BHawk21]

I quoted the whole thing? What?

no, you did not put quotes around my whole statement. you chopped it in half. Do you just argue semantics in your daily life like this or just online?

You win I was not articulate enough in my comment for you to understand. Now that you know what I was saying you can move on...

I argue things when people tell me I did something I didn't do.

I can, but I literally quoted your whole post, and bolded what I was referring to.

Never thought I would think this at this point but having Toews and Kane right now would be pretty helpful. Toews to just win a few draws, some board battles, and settle everything down a bit down the middle. Kane to pair with either Reichel or Bedard to give them some time and puck possession.

That's what I quoted.

 

[Jimmy2Times]

Can we all agree that losing 3-0 at home is unacceptable rebuild or not?

Rage Rage against the dying light!

Given the starts and overall team's of Colorado, Boston and Vegas, I think it's fair to say that a lot of teams in the NHL would not have a better record than the Hawks.....win the games you can win....they will be coming down the pipe after ths B***S*** season beginning schedule.

The Blackhawks have played seven games. Four of those games came against STILL undefeated teams... One of the games they won, was against a team that is currently 4-2. They beat the Penguins, who are right where the Hawks are, points wise. They lost to Montreal, who is .500, in a game they didn't show up for until the third period, by a goal. Their next game is against Vegas, who is still undefeated.

Making all these definitive proclamations about players, point totals, etc., at this point in the season, is f***ing clown-shoes. Be better HF Blackhawks. Seriously.

 

[Pez68]

I'm sorry people.....talk me off the ledge with Bedard because I see someone who is a good player but not elite.

Dude was supposed to come in here and be a 70+ point guy right off the bat and I just don't see it.

And as teams are realizing he's the only scoring threat on the team, they're focusing on taking him away and the Hawks can't do anything to open space for him.

Well, I definitely know who this is now. FFS.

KBS returns

Actually can’t even remember his name but I know the poster you’re talking about

No, that's it.

The expectations of the 2023-24 Chicago Blackhawks should be no higher than the expectations of the 2007-08 Chicago Blackhawks.

 

[JaegerDice]

Im not worried.

I kinda figured Bedard would have a development trajectory similar to Jack Hughes, and he’s like one big game away from a PPG pace on a trash team.

Korchinski is a 19 year old playing top 4 minutes on a trash team and still managing to look like he belongs.

Vlasic is showing more than anticipated.

Reichel is going to be a middle-bottom 6 guy when all is said and done.

There’s a lot of work to do on this roster but the assets we care about all seem on track.

The biggest issue remains finding a way to move the Jones contract without having to pay too much.

That's what I quoted.

you put quotes around half of my statement and that changes context (but you know that). There's no need to keep going. Its over. You got what you wanted I expanded on my statement for just you.

The subject was about my thoughts on the roster from preseason/summer. You cut the quote in half posted ur own quotes around it which in turn made the subject into Kane and Toews right now.

 

[BHawk21]

Perrys footspeed was really on display on that Poitras breakaway.

I generally agree, except for your last sentence. The Jones contract is barely an issue, much less the biggest issue.

 

[BHawk21]

Thats not what you said. You said "having them at this point would be helpful" ....but it wouldn't, because Kane wouldn't be playing.

nope. but keep going this is so fun.

I will let you have the last word then we can move on.

 

[JaegerDice]

It’s not an issue right now, but there’s 4 or 5 more years of him and he isn't getting any younger.

Like that is going to happen.

 

[Pez68]

One can dream. I just don't want my ignore list to keep growing.
