Pre-Game Talk: Hawks v. Sabres 1/5/17

[BK]

Figured some pregame talk was needed.

72-15-88
24-19-81
38-67-14
11-70-48

D pairings

2-57
6-7
42-4

Why can't Q just play Kempny with Hammer and Keith with Seabrook? (or keep 57-6 together)

Don't mind the lines other than Abbott but maybe he shows he can score on this level and not just be another Haydar (lite).

I'm going to be flipping between the US/Canada gold WJC game and the Hawks game.

Probably going to watch more of the WJC game tho.

Would be good time for Q to bench #7 and play Rozy for night

But #7 will never get held accountable for his poor play especially with that contract. Would be bad look for coach/GM to bench the 7M man

Honestly, even at his worst, Seabs is better than Rozi at this stage....

If anything it gives him a chance to reset and get a rest.

Kempny and Seabrook have actually been pretty good together. I'm alright with this lineup with soupy sitting one of the back to backs.

How much hockey do you actually watch? How many teams have you seen healthy scratch their #2 d-man? Serious question.

 

[ClydeLee]

The Stars scratched Klingberg this year... He's absolutely at least been their #2 if not #1 depending how you viewed Goligoski of the past two years.

But Kempny-Seabs has been the best pairing for Seabrook this year, the campbell pair has been awful.

Who is saying anything about scratching Hjalmarsson?

Our #3 defender Seabrook on other hand has been absolute disaster out there for weeks and needs to be given a message

 

[Salvaged Ship]

I would actually like to see both Seabrook and Keith get nights off. Not as punishment, just for maintenance rest days. Both of these guys (especially Seabrook) seem to play much better when they are rested.
