Post-Game Talk: Preds vs Chicago Blackhawks :: 11/18/23 :: 1pm

[Kat Predator]

When he does the right things it can. What got him sat was failing to do those things without the puck that result in positive plays. He wasn't getting into those areas to receive a pass ... he wasn't putting the puck on net when he had the opportunity ... he is the only person determining if he's in or out of the lineup. Plays like that keep him in. The skating around looking lost, losing the puck, not getting the puck on net of previous games will get him sat again.

This is the definition of development. He has to learn: do these things and don't do those things.

Then there is the other vocabulary word in play here ... competition. He remains in competition with Foudy for ice time. He has to do out compete day after day if he wants to be in the lineup ... again, solely on him. Then for him to play on the lines that HF wants him on he has to outperform other players in the competition for line slotting.

Dang Trenin. At least Vlasic is okay, could have been nasty without a visor.

 

[bdub24]

Lankinen is playing pretty good. Why dont we let him get more starts than he does?

 

[bdub24]

How do you like your tea Mr Bedard?

Lankinen is playing pretty good. Why dont we let him get more starts than he does?

Because we have a player that is supposed to be a Vezina quality starter. With how things have gone in November the staff should look to play Lankinen more. He's out performing Saros right now.

 

[SouthNash]

Dammit

 

[Legionnaire11]

Damnit, I love Tyler Johnson... but Damnit!!!

 

[bdub24]

Interference there

 

[hido]

Last years vezina winner only played 49 games vs saros 64 games. Saros has been in 13 of the now 16 games (a 66 game pace) and we arent even on pace to make the playoffs. I just dont get the need to ride him so hard.

We just really dont like 2 goal leads

Groundhog day!

Well you shouldn't be winning the Vezina only playing in just over half the games, but that's a different discussion.

 

[SouthNash]

[Armourboy]

[bdub24]
