4) Reichel look like they’re overthinking things every step of the way
Everything you said. Was at the game tonite and really interesting to see the plays develop.Alrighty. First full game I’ve watched in a while so here’s some takeaways…
1) obviously that Anderson-Dickinson-Slaggert line had a very good game.
2) Vlassic is a a freaking stud, man. Not a ton on offense but defensively he’s really good. He’s physical and he’ll aggressively make a defensive play which I love.
3) Mrazek had himself a GAME. Was reading and tracking the puck all nigjt
4) Reichel and Kurashev are NOT it. Disagree all you want but both of these guys either can’t make plays or don’t want to make plays. They both look like they’re overthinking things every step of the way
5) Jones and Foligno had nice games. If nothing else they play like vets out there. Overpaid for sure but on a good Hawks team they’ll have a lot of value.
6) most of this roster is absolute crap otherwise. We have so much borderline NHL talent here. You see it in the passing and puck movement especially. Plays die on guy’s sticks constantly. Scoring chances are often weak and almost everyone isn’t able to step up and make the big play.
7) Bedard. This kid has a world of talent and no one to share it with. We need to get him some good linemates next year no matter what. Screw the tank and our draft slot. Let this kid shine. He’s being so suppressed on this crappola roster it’s absurd.
Saw a Hawks win and Bedard got on the scoreboard. Very fun time. Would NOT want to be a Flames fan that’s for sure. Good grief.
Reichel just sucks this year, man. He's received 55 games of ice time with consistently terrible play, that's probably the longest leash in the NHL. Stop making excuses. He's not a baby.That is what happens when your coach punishes you for ever little mistake and demands you play like Reese Johnson or your benched
He hasn’t been, and definitely a bit unlucky at times.I missed parts of the third but I really didn't think Reichel was that bad.. he's been ok since coming back up. Not where you want him at this point but not completely terrible
Florida made bank on that trade. Tkachuk is a huge difference maker, Hubs is a passenger.Mrazek had a good game as well.
Side note, man what a bum Jonathan Huberdeau is. I didn't notice him at all last night. His last 4 seasons in Florida he paced for 99 points. Now he's barely a 50 point player, having an even worse season than last year. Did he just get paid and check out or what?
