GDT: Hawks vs Nucks 2PM CT Sunday on NBCSCH - Nightmare Fuel Edition

[Section88]

Foligno: "6 on 5 not practiced enough."

Welp.


As he should be. Tyler Johnson just f***ing standing there. I can't wait until he's gone. I also don't understand why he keeps getting put out there.

I think its just his reputation from Tampa that keeps him in.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Hogs tie up 3-3 against wolves

G Hardman Luypen and Del Mastro

 

[TheFridge]

Yeah that non-call on Petersson was absolutely brutal. What is the point of having two refs on the ice when apparently neither are watching one of the best players in the world with the puck on his stick get hauled down?

 

[Kevin Musto]

5,000,000 reasons why

 

[Hockeyman1962]

Raddysh is such a low IQ player.

he is a offence killer turn over machine

5,000,000 reasons why

he is the only one who can win face off's period

 

[bwanajamba]

He is winning faceoffs at virtually the same rate as Bedard lol

Meh.. I would say moreso trade value than that. 9.5 million dollar Jones got bumped off PP1 for a while. I don't think Richardson or the Hawks care about how much a guy makes.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

He's out there because he works hard and LuRich adores him because he works hard and he's a vet. Don't overcomplicate it.

 

[bwanajamba]

If he were noticeably busting his tail it would be easier to stomach. Reese Johnson works his ass off. He stinks but you can see the effort. TJ feels like he floats as much as anyone on the team and makes the most dogshit lazy plays with the puck and has never been docked a regular shift

This is Tyler Johnson, not Reese Johnson.

 

[BHawk21]

another good tank loss....

damn

They were competitive without pretty much any NHL defenseman. Bedard 2 more points. Reichel inching better. Meh

Put Reichel with AA when he's back.

 

[shakes the clown]

sat in the worst seats in the house last night. 100 level, even with the top of the circles, 8 rows up. Great seats if you don't mind only seeing half the ice. Literally can't see anything on the other end of ice except some bits on the opposite side of the ice. Spent the whole game alternating between looking at the ice and looking at the tV on the scoreboard.

Glad they were free, would've been really pissed if I put down real money for those seats.

Everyone on the team sucks, Johnson's ice time in the last year of his deal (if he pots some goals, maybe he can get traded) isn't a big point of concern.

I'd rather see a rotating cast of AHL youngsters, than watch his embarrassing ass every night. But I understand why that won't happen.

 

[belfour30]

I wonder why Dach isn't up yet

 

[WarriorofTime]

No rush on Dach

 

[Mrfenn92]

I wonder why Dach isn't up yet

No reason to rush him. Let him play in the Ahl this year. Lots of minutes

 

[TLEH]

I too would rather see EDM and Dach than Reese Johnson but I know development is crucial.

Sure... this team isn't at that stage of development yet. You would rather, but they dont exist. This team is still tank with terrible veteran phase. They have 1 solid ahler forward with an NHL likely future right now. He needs consistency. They're even raw with ahl depth. It's not their because they didn't begin to actually take this a rebuild until 2 years back.

Nobody is concerned about Tyler Johnson costing the team games because he's getting too much ice time. We're annoyed that he's getting too much ice time because he is frustrating as hell to watch. He makes way more shitty plays than good ones and he flubs golden opportunities routinely.

Saarela, Luypen and Rolston are all new to the AHL and should get their time there before any sort of sink/swim test if it came to it. Perhaps Teply will get his sink or swim test after the deadline assuming a couple more bodies are cleared out. You're right that the Forward prospect group at Rockford this year isn't particularly enticing after Dach. Those guys were 4th-7th round picks and haven't done a ton to rise above that.

Dach I wouldn't recommend more than a game or two. He should continue playing a lot and developing, I don't think an extended look at this stage would be all that helpful for him and could have an opposite effect. Same as Allan and Del Mastro, these are '03s and a long way away from losing waiver-exempt status.
