GDT: Hawks @ Kings 9:30 NBC sports Chicago 4/18/24 (The end!)

[TLEH]

Thats an absolute terrible play.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Come on phil

 

[TLEH]

Puck rolls and it goes over, its a tough break but still. Should just skate that out.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Elite bonehead move

 

[WarriorofTime]

lol nice way to head into the offseason for Kurashev..

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

So then who do you see as the 1C and 2C if not Bedard and Nazar?

Bedard and Dickinson are the only two guys I think start the year at center for sure.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Phil just wanted to see Kings/Oilers for a third time

 

[WarriorofTime]

Stars-Knights and Oilers-Kings it is.

 

[SimpleJack]

I’m really hoping and rather confident this is just a random, meaningless funk that we’re seeing with Bedard lately and nothing more. I’d say chances are he’s going to be fine.

One things for sure: He knows more than anyone how much harder he’s going to have to work to get to that next level. He sees what we see, that it’s much harder to work his magic at this level. He’s obsessed with being great. He’s going to go to work this offseason, endless practice and training. I guarantee you we see a noticeable jump in his performance come next season, and this rough ending to his rookie campaign will become a distant memory.

 

[TLEH]

I think the Oil is a way worse matchup for LA than the Stars. I don't care how muck you play, you're just not slowing down the game vs Edmonton.

Think they are losing either way.

Bedard and Dickinson are the only two guys I think start the year at center for sure.

Feels like they want Nazar at 2C rather than 1W.

Though I think that will depend on the outcome of the lottery...

 

[Mrfenn92]

Nazar with the winner

I hope so. Honest eyes will tell that’s he’s not been very good these last dozen games.

 

[TLEH]

I think Nazar just plays a style that fits better at C than Moore does, for example.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Game

Not watching but I see Bedard has 1 sog and a -2.so far. Obviously he’s 18, nhl grind, horrible team season, etc but it’s a bummer to see him fall of a cliff so drastically at the end of the season. Was hoping he would have racked up some points at the end. I believe this is 1G in his last 15 games?

He's....18. Even with the injury, this is the most physically demanding season he's ever played.

 

[ChiHawks10]

98, 23, 55 in the OT to start. I think that might be the first we've seen it all season.

 

[hawksfan50]

I do not think hevis i a funk...he is a half-step slower than he was earlier..You saw Lafferiere blow past himand he coukd not keep up.

Something has affected his skating and energy.

 

[TLEH]

Not sure what Korchinski is doing with his stick there.

 

[Geoist]

wtf was that.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Whelp, that’s the season.

 

[WarriorofTime]

One more loss for the road moves the Tampa Bay pick to 20th, instead of 21st.

 

[bwanajamba]

A fitting farewell for Soda

 

[Kevin Musto]

Not sure what Korchinski is doing with his stick there.

Doing what he's done all year: auditioning for Rockford

 

[Pez68]

Not sure what Korchinski is doing with his stick there.

That's on Soderblom. You can't give that up from that angle. Just terrible.
