LOL, these ESPN announcers are morons.

So bad. Just... so so bad. Like Vosters levels of bad.

 

[Geoist]

what a save!

 

[ChiHawks10]

Another example of Mrazek making some Godlike save... but he gives up goals that he never should.

Vlasic with a good stick there too.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Has Nazar been promoted???

He had help from Vlasic there too.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Bedard got his point, I can sleep in peace now.

Empty net, so Richardson actually loaded up.

 

[Callidusblackhawk]

Foligno with another garbage play 6 on 5.

RIP

the dream died before it even began

 

[Pez68]

Foligno has been abysmal the last two games.

 

[TLEH]

Comical. What is Foligno doing.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Oh well, back to the Cubs.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Empty net, so Richardson actually loaded up.

He still did it wrong though. Pull the goalie when you have possession!

Like he just makes the most baffling decisions, I don’t understand.

 

[ChiHawks10]

Foligno has been abysmal the last two games.

He's getting older. Getting worn down easier. Playing 72 games, heavy minutes, at going on 37 years old. And he has played a rough and tough game his entire career. Makes sense, IMO.

Offensive zone faceoff. Pretty common time to pull the goalie.

 

[TLEH]

I hate this Vegas team for some reason. Marchesseault is dirty as f*** and the rest of them come off so smug.

It honestly looks like Mike Foligno is playing.

Im just glad Pacioretty isnt there anymore. I hate them much less without him

Wouldn't mind him on the Hawks, though. Guy you hate to play against, but love him on your team.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

I’m not worried about Foligno. He’s playing above where he should at this point in his career

Whether we win Celebrini, sign a higher end free agent or have Taylor Hall or whoever, he won’t be in those positions of powerplay or 6 on 5 anymore.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Nazar does shit like this and I get up out of my seat

Bottom line:
Bedard who fizzled again getschisclonevpoibtvso posters say tgey can go to bed hapoy=NO!

1 shot on goal .. And Nazar who "looks good" = 1 shot on goal...Ask any coach of a top 20 nhl tean if he can go to bed hapoy when the 2 most hyped pkayers up Front on this team generate only 2 shot on goal each..Not that other f Hawks orwards did much better...Foligno who I agree has looked worn diwn and is not providing much defending in the d-zone gets 4 shots on goal to lead all Hawks forward it is hard to see the 1 shot wonders of the hyped yutes doing much to change Hawks fortunes next season. Hawks easily "handled" by Vegas...OF Nazar "looked good" and did not produce..if Bedard generated only 1 shot ( low shot totals became a habit as season started to close out),they have not left us
optimistic for next sesson.Can't score goals with low shot totals...1 shot Johnnie's do not cut it.


Bedard now on 5 game goaless drought ..but more concerning ONLY 1 goal in last 13 GP..Picking up a few assists during this long goal fizzle but 1 shot on goal lastc2GP= he definitely has fizzled out down these latestc13 GP ...Too easily handled ..not reakky impacting much at all...not even "looing good"

Nazar =only small 2 game sample...of course he scored on 1st nhl shot on goal last game before this Vegas game.but then downhill from there ....bottom line tonight =only 1cshot on goal.

Call me when Bedard gets back to 3-4 shots a night at some goals...or when Nazar dominated shifts and backs up "looking good" with actual game changing multi'shots and scoring..

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Athanasiou, Donato, Anderson, Raddysh, Tinordi, Blackwell, Entwhistle, Both Johnsons, Megna, Zaitsev Soderblum..... almost half the roster are "nuthin" players

A roster full of ‘just a guy’

I'm pretty sure that Lit song is the most played song in NHL arenas. Feel like I hear it every game.

That and Mr Brightside

 

[Chelios]

I value him. I think he’s obviously an NHLer. Even just stuff agnostic from his partner. Like I just don’t think the instincts are high end. I don’t see like a dynamic top pair guy, mind wise.

I’m not saying he’s bad, or that I want to ditch him. Just that my expectations for him have shifted, and I think it’s certainly harder playing with Megna, but he also hasn’t done himself any favors.

I just find it hard to believe you can really separate his situation from those things that you seem to not like about him. He is in a pretty unique situation where he is a) the youngest defenceman in the leage, b) playing on a brutal team that is often hemmed into their own zone, and c) not playing with a stabilizing veteran. I just honestly don't see how you can acknowledge all those things and then still say you don't think he can be a dynamic top pairing guy.

 

[scorehawks]

Nazar has to be stronger on the puck there but Mrazek can't give that up .

That goal was on Nazar. Rookie mistake. He will learn. I like the kid. And it was a beautiful shot.
