Beautiful

Kurashev feeds Foligno for the tap in. 4-2. Pretty goal.

PK getting a point every other week while CB is out is prolly enough to stay out of the doghouse.

I know AA is hurt but he's a f***ing unicorn. Dude is a brain dead mess but he's a D20. 19 shifts of bad stupid hockey. On a nat 20 he gets a one on two dekes a guy and buries a piss missile bar down.

Comparing him to Guttman is goofy.

No i wasn't comparing him to Guttman in terms of talent, just in terms of playing brain dead hockey.

Guttman is never going to score 30 goals in the NHL like AA did

how is that any different than AA?

like geez, the Hawks need all of the firepower they can get at this point.

Like what are you asking me?

 

[belfour30]

Like what are you asking me?

You specifically said skill, motor, heart but braindead.
I said that also describes AA.

AA is on a different level with skill though.

Kurashev is a Chinese knock off Swiss army knife. He does a bit of everything kinda ok. Can be third wheel anywhere in the bottom six of a good team.

I was talking about being brain dead, sorry.

The difference is the grand canyon gap in talent. AA has much better hands, much better speed and a much better shot.

Of course, I'm not arguing that.

No clue what you're arguing or what you're asking then.

Yeah AA would be a ppg player if he had any hockey sense whatsoever.

No clue what you're arguing or what you're asking then.

I was arguing why is Guttman in the doghouse. there is zero reason why Reese Johnson and Entwistle are playing over him.

 

[nmgrbhfn]

Bottom line with this team is the guys on the team who could score (including one the HF Hawks board loved to hate) got traded or were allowed to walk as part of the rebuild and their offensive production hasn't been replaced. The Hawks GF sucks by design. Mission accomplished. Imagine if Dickinson didn't have a decent season.

This started because you asked how that's any different than AA.

Kurashev is a Chinese knock off Swiss army knife. He does a bit of everything kinda ok. Can be third wheel anywhere in the bottom six of a good team.

I think he would be ragdolled by the bottom six of a contender though.

 

[belfour30]

This started because you asked how that's any different than AA.

No I said that that what you said also describes AA. It's obvious that AA has way more talent than Guttman, that goes without saying.
we're in agreement there lol.

poor choice of words.

when I said how is that any different, i should have said that also describes

I'm done with this. Gotta be up for work in five hours.

sorry lol

 

[nmgrbhfn]

Guttman has a LITTLE skill and a LITTLE offensive sense but on this team that makes him better than a lotta guys who are getting ice time over him. AA has an albatross around his neck because his toolbox is better than his game and he wears out his welcome by not converting his skill into points. He alienates management by leaving them wanting more but never delivering. He lucked out at the end of last year and bankrolled it into an extension but reverted to form at the beginning of this season - mr. enigmatic.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Tinordi in the box. Shocker.

 

[belfour30]

We know why the Hawks and Sharks are so bad but Columbus, Anaheim, Ottawa and Buffalo make no sense.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

sorry lol

It's like Crevier and Vlasic are both giant defenseman that don't play physically. Why is one so much better than the other? The giant gap in tools. Why even bring it up?

No arguments it was dumb. Went around in circles for no reason.

Goaltending/defense, heart/defense, coaching and goaltending.

 

[belfour30]

Goaltending/defense, heart/defense, coaching and goaltending.

Is that in order?

Soda hung out to dry tonight. Can't wait to read about people blaming him for this shit show.
