Goosh that Edzo clip made me go again.

I'm really glad he is back.

Go Hawks! Good to see Schmaltz is likely back in the lineup. He creates so much more balance in the top 3 lines. Also good to see Edzo back in the booth as he continues to fight the good fight.

Hawks 4-2 against a banged up St. Louis team.

Happy National Pasta Day in Canada and USA...And EDZO back and Schmaltz back ...it should be all goid, right?

I mean ,Seabs will have loaded up on pasta...Kane has run out of excuses for 4 straight lousy games and now he has Schmaltz back at least we expect hom (Kane) to ge interested in showing up for a change,right? AND of course STL will not compete for a full 60,right? AND so alk we have to do is put in another 15 mons of effort and let CC bail us out again. .and bank another 2 points, right?

Of course I would wish this is a buy-in game with full 60 effort from ALL our guys
.but then I remember Q is coaching..and that wishful thinking is not going to materialize ..but if we win with minimum 15 mins of "exertion" and caring a crap then be grateful for any win. ..I guess.

Excuse my ignorance, don’t know much of schmaltz as a player or recently graduated prospect, but what makes him so good or so guaranteed as a staple in the top 6? Is it his style? He clearly has some chemistry with Kane but why is it so widely accepted that he will center Kane and essentially replace panarin? He only played with Kane for what, two games? Thanks for input!

Very high skill level, great vision, skates very well, and is solid at both ends of the ice.

This pretty much sums it up. He was a projected top 10 pick in 2014, I believe, but don't remember why he fell. Injury maybe, or at the time, his lack of defensive prowess? His playmaking ability and vision are elite, IMO. He's deceptively fast, similar to McDavid, where it's long, powerful strides and then he's past you before you know it. Has good finish when he chooses to shoot, and has great hands. As Hawkaholic said, he's also a solid two-way player, not just an offensively talented player, at this point in his career. He seems to have developed the defensive side of his game very well.

Schmaltz has improved a ton. If you had seen either of his games this season, you wouldn't be asking that question. He's easily supplanted Anisimov and his upside is through the roof. 2 way player, no less. Very skilled, very fast. Needs to defer less. Could be better from the dot. Am splitting hairs.

From what I remember, he was considered a very inconsistent player when he was younger. There would be games where he looked elite and then games where you could see a lack of effort. That was the biggest knock on him going into that draft.

This is what I remember as well. He was looked at as a boom or bust pick with questionable work ethic. Which is crazy to think of now, because since he's been in our system he has made huge strides each year.

Schmaltz was considered a top 10 talent but was enigmatic. He dominated a few international competitions but disappeared at time during the season.
