Good. He better be lol
Agreed. I hope he at least gets in one game for the hawks. If not they should've called up McCoshen to sit in the press box

I wouldn't mind seeing McCoshen get a game
Just do not partner him with Seabs..that dooms Gilbert as it does everyone Seabs anchors to the bottom...
But Kempny did alright...
He could still do with some seasoning in Rockford, but it'll be nice to know we have a big stay at home type defender being molded down. As this organization has noticed over the years, those don't grow on trees.Gilbert should stay. Love his fire, intensity, and mean streak. Hawks need more guys that enjoy dishing it out. He can have Seabs' spot.
The team LOVES him. I guarantee it.

Yeah, I do like the physicality he brings. He could become a good middle pairing guy one day. Someone who is a pain to play against.Absolutely. But the Hawks just need more nasty. It is no mistake Gilbert's hits were against guys like Pasta and Hughes the last two games. The best way to knock talented guys off their game is....knocking them off their feet. Hawks need a guy back there that makes the opposition hesitate going into the corners. Gilbert is a passable defenseman, but more than anything, he brings an element this team sorely lacks. Nastiness.

de Haan and Seabs have been decent as a tandem as well.

I agree, but what is with the system? This team constantly abandons the front of their net. Another example is last night where Seabrook leaves the net to chase someone behind the net. Seabrook has lost more than a step, but he’s not dumb. Why would he do that when the other defender is in the corner? I’m just baffled constantly.de Haan and Seabs have been decent as a tandem as well.
As far as I'm concerned Hawks defensive corps often takes the brunt of the criticism when each and every game we can plainly see that it is Hawks defensive team game that is lacking.

de Haan makes everyone he's paired with look decent.

Do you seriously think it is their system that has guys abandoning the front of the net??? And Seabrook isn't dumb? He cross checked his teammate the other day in front of their net. Lol
Actually, it was Gilbert who abandoned his good position to try and get a lick in and help Nylander win the board battle, leaving Seabs to defend 1 on 2. Seabs had a choice: attack the puck carrier or stay in front and leave the puck carrier and let him take the puck to the net ... he was stuck between a rock and a hard place. When he went after the guy with the puck it was Nylander's man who got loose off the boards to score.... meanwhile Nylander and Gilbert were left on the boards covering no one. But sure let's blame Seabs once again.
I think the system promotes defensemen to leave goal to chase forwards behind the net even when they are the only defenseman in that position. It expects forwards to cover for them and we see how that has worked out this year.Do you seriously think it is their system that has guys abandoning the front of the net??? And Seabrook isn't dumb?

I believe that was at the beginning of the year when they were playing a man system. The last couple weeks in particular i can hardly remember anyone just leaving the front of the net open to chase a guy below the goal line.I think the system promotes defensemen to leave goal to chase forwards behind the net even when they are the only defenseman in that position.

Lots of things go into goals being scored but don’t excuse Seabrooks bone head decision to leave his position in front of the net to go after a guy who literally can’t score from his position. Even Eddie O Seabrooks #1 fan pointed out he made the wrong decision.
All Seabrook had to do was slide down a little to the left of Crawford instead of charging below the goal line.
He would have gotten there in time, unlike his effort to go below the goal line.
That would have cut off the walkout scoring attempt and NOT left the entire 1/4 of the zone as a gaping lane for Krug to get an easy pass.
BTW, that goal had 3 Bruins against 5 Hawks with GIANT open ice.
That cannot happen! Toews or Saad somehow didn't feel that giant lane straight to Crawford!? Either one could have drfited into the area to make it at least a contested pass.
Dumb, just plain dumb.
