Hawks in World Championships

[Hattrick Kane]

Oh dude it's such a sloppy game... Penalty every two minutes yawn.

Reichel though, you can just see how lightning fast he makes decisions. Not a lot of moments standing out but he's a dynamic type for sure. Doesn't look in over his head competing against the NHL players on the other side.

I have to stay though Power is the one that really surpised me. First time watching him this tourney. He looks really, really good. Controlling play as an 18 year old. I wasn't as high on him before as the consensus but he's definitely impressing me. There is lots there.

Could you imagine if Reichel turns into a Backstrom. Not holding my breath, but damn.

He seems like more of a direct north-south attacker type to me, rather than a meticulous playmaker-in the blood Backstrom type.

But that's why I liked the fast decisions. His blazing past guys and making quick little impact plays with vision... That's going to be awesome to see here, and so dynamic.

I'll be watching the rest of his games (especially coz Germany looks good to go deep) to see who he reminds me of stylistically.

They don't seem to have much offense actually. I'm not sure who else was available but they could use a good bunch more offensive guys.

my guess is a lot of Canadians turned down the offer to play for a variety of reasons

I was under the impression that Reichel is more of a finisher......Imagine if the Hawks found the next Pastrnak?

The Hawks have neither found the next Backstrom nor the next Pastrnak.

Except...Hawks have a better player already what Pasta
and that's DeBrincat. DeBrincat > Pastrnak

Reichel can be Reichel, he doesn't need to be anyone else.

The biggest search (still) is to find the next Hossa.

Man, I always loved Hossa even well before he suited up for the Hawks. It wasn't until he was a Blackhawk that I was really able to see how great of a 200 foot player he was and how hard he competed at both ends of the ice.

I'll be the first to admit, when they first signed him the first thought that came to mind was "oh great, now the Hawks will never win the cup" simply because he played in the finals 2 years in a row and was on the losing side both times. I thought he was cursed.

I'm so thankful that I was wrong and that he ended up being an essential contributor to the Hawks dominant run on their way to 3 cups. One of my all time favorite Blackhawks.

Good times, good times.

 

[HockeySauce]

The Hawks don't need the next Hossa, or Toews, or Kane, or Keith. They don't need to find 1-to-1 replacements for the players they've won with. They just need to find good players.

ill take pastrnak at this point but the fact that you could have arguments after this season is a great thing.

Maxxim Shalunov is at 65:% on draws so far at the WHC ...on that alone we need to sign him.

 

[Maverick41]

Reichel appears to be injured. Has not been on the ice in the 2nd period so far.

 

[kmwtrucks]

took a head shot.

 

[HockeySauce]

Reichel did come back to play initially after the hit but hasn't returned for the second period. Hopefully just precautionary.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. He came back after the hit, which was in the first period, then didn't come back the rest of the game. I was watching it, I don't need the replay lol.

Lukas Reichel did return for the second period, by the way. #IIHFWorlds

I wasn't watching, so just posted what I read on twitter from someone watching the game.

You have to learn to read. He was hit in the first period, he came back initially and then didn't return for the rest of the game. Why is this so hard?

EDIT: He didn't return in the second

Not what other people were saying



Seems he initially came back in the 2nd until going off to get concussion checked.

LOL Imagine not reading what I literally just posted to you. READ THE FULL TWEET.

When someone "returns" for a period, what does that imply? It implies they're playing. He never touched the ice again after the 1st intermission. Why are you arguing with someone who watched the game?

Holy Shit bud.

I tweeted something out from someone who was watching saying that he did return (it's in that original tweet). You commented back asking me why I was showing you a replay of the hit???????????

So I responded saying the tweet wasn't just a highlight, it said he returned in the 2nd period, and that I wasn't watching (and I didn't know you were watching).

Why are you still commenting? *You* replied to *me* with a tweet bc I said he didn't return in the second period. The point of your tweet was to prove that he did. That's cool that some guy on twitter said he returned, except he didn't. Maybe he was on the bench to start the period but he never played after the first.

All you have to say is, "my bad. I shouldn't have tried to disprove your post with some random tweet when I wasn't watching and didn't know you were watching."

LOL maybe you need this in crayon instead, but I don't have that option.

I showed you a tweet saying he did return, you replied saying this.

I wasn't showing you the replay. I was saying that this guy said he did return. I didn't know you were watching, so thought the info may be relevant and that maybe he did return.

Now here we are, because you can't follow a conversation. Maybe you should have responded by saying, "I am watching the game, and he isn't playing", but you thought I was showing you a replay because you can't read.

The only person talking about the replay anymore is you my guy. Why are you so hung up on me saying I don't need the replay? The entire reason you posted that was to, for some reason, disprove me saying he didn't return for the second period.

Just take the L and move on with your life, crayons and all.
