GDT: Coyotes @ Hawks 5pm 3/10/24 NBC sports Chicago

Some people just need reason to be angry lol

 

[Tifosi]

I hope the coaching staff is paying attention to the effectiveness of the power play when Bedard is QBing and roving. Both of their PP goals have Bedard on the right side. Weird.

They won’t, their excuse will be be well Jones got 4 assists so he will continue to QB until morales improves.

 

[Mikitastan]

Really fun game. Kind of amazing seeing as it was the second game in 22 hours. The boys never got gassed while the Yotes were in town waiting. Happy for them getting a feel good night. They earned it this game.

Blackwell says about 12 times this is "where he wants to be" in the post-game. I'm guessing he's back next season.

I’d be good with an extension. One year variety give him a bump in pay with all the cap space

 

[WarriorofTime]

I take the morale boost over the marginal odds of finishing worse than the Sharks to in turn lead to the odds for a better draft pick. The young guys in particular need to see some wins every now and then.

No doubt

 

[Backyard Hockey]

They are talking about Minn/Nash ot ending. Huge balls!

 

[CanadianHawks]

Blackwell has actually been a solid bottom six guy this year. He should be back

I’m fine with him Foligno and Dickinson in our bottom six next year. Would like to find 3 more pieces for the bottom six.

Donato can be an extra

Donato would be fine as a 4th liner if he wasn't playing with 2 AHL scrubs.

Even if we ran with Donato Dickinson Blackwell as a fourth line that would be good. Actually a strong fourth line

It works well. Improves Jones shooting angle and they can’t overplay toward either.
Moving out to defend Jones gives Bedard room to dangle.
Two guys high to cover them also opens up the cross ice lane.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Wow. Awesome shit to be honest.

Those need to be primary jersey

That >>>>>> Wild other jersey's

Like watching North Stars when I was kid

I think Dickinson is 3rd line quality. Maybe bring Lafferty back as a UFA assuming contract is reasonable.

 

[statswatcher]

first game it sounds like i should have watched

 

[TLEH]

Was watching the game back look at this clown car of a 4th line shift.

There is a guy behind Reese and Entwistle but thats it..

It gets even better.. as the play goes on, Donato leaves the guy wide open in the slot to deny the passing lane to no one.

 

[JaegerDice]

Schmaltz would actually be an interesting option for a W to play with Bedard. Quick enough, very pass-first, 5.85 for two more years then either trade him for assets or re-sign if he works out.

He’s fit nicely. Higher salary then cap hit also so maybe Arizona might play ball easier

I don't see any reason Arizona would move him, aside from an overpayment. They probably love him with Keller.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Here is a potential reason. His contract was heavily back loaded and now Yotes are reaching that point of deal

24-25 = $1.5M bonus + $5.95M salary
25-26 = $8.5M salary

I don't disagree, but to be superior to the other MN Wld Jerseys is a hurdle similar to the match-box obstacle in Monty Python's "Twit Race."

 

[Chuck Testa]

Bedard roaming on the powerplay >>>>>> stapling him to the half wall a la Kane.

Hell… the powerplay during the Kane years probably would have been light years better if he roamed around on the PP.

 

[BHawk21]

I know its obvious and been said a million times but that kid is special. He is the the full offense at all times. He knows hes great too.

The coyotes are terrible and in a terrible spot. They need to tank harder. Sell Keller and Schmaltz and go for Hagens.

 

[hockeydoug]

I really want the Hawks to play the Coyotes 8 more times.

They can still finish bottom 3.

This is a good point.

I do like the idea of Schmaltz aside from KD already maxing out his quota on 25' expected man games lost. AA, Hall, Foligno, Murphy, will probably miss about 1 and 1/3 seasons combined at least.
