Bedard with 3 points in a loss and Tampa also just lost.

Good night for the tank.

They're a good defensive team that puts everything on net. They're a possession metric darling every year because of it. I just don't think they'll win much in the post season playing like this when everyone ramps up the intensity.

I think Andersen and whatever form he’s back in will determine if they can make a go at it.

The Blackhawks are a joke and management is a big part of it. But it is by design.

4th liner - Bedard - Kurashev
4th liner - 3rd liner - 4th liner
4th liner - 4th liner - AHLer
AHLer - AHLer - AHLer

Jones - Vlasic
6th D - 7th D

Blows my mind how much an 18 year old matters to this team while having barley any NHL talent to work with.

bedard is the worst thing for this team they have made him the poor little poster boy

2 ways to beatvteams:
1.Givevup little...justvoutscorecthem

2.Givevup lots.

Still outscorecyhem.

Hawks can do Neither very well.
.so the losses mount up..

We would not complain if Hawks gave up 7 goals but scored 10 ...(Minn 10 Van 7 =WYF is that?

Neither would we complain if Hawks ONLY scored 3 and the opps only got 1
..but Hawks cannot do either very often.. Defines team Tank.

Lol he is the team's entire offense what are you talking about?

Yeah, there's been some moments this year where in the last 5-10 minutes I think Richardson pulls the curtain shut and lets the game play out as is without any of the normal interventions you do to try to get the W. I guess the opposite end of that is a blowhard who screams bloody murder at teenagers for every little error.

Was a shame after getting 3 back he didn't try to manage the game differently.

Your coach not trying to win games is kind of a terrible message to send.

Bedard would be sitting right at a point per game without the offside review shenanigans. He looks fantastic since coming back and if I were him I would debate just wearing the fishbowl for the rest of my career as he is apparently unstoppable with it.

Jumping loosely off topic on the Faber debate- I don't really give a sh*t who wins the Calder and I think Faber is a great young player but I honestly believe that on most of the teams in the league, given the right luck with health, Bedard would have challenged for 100 points this year. I totally get fans going to bat for their guy but people apparently have no idea how hard it is to score at Bedard's pace- at his age, and with the talent around him- on a team that never has the puck.

With just one legitimate top line winger he'd have challenged for 100 points on the Hawks this year.

Give him Kaprizov, Rantanen or Panarin and he gets 100 points. Someone to set him up and a player who can bury his passes constantly.

Bedard and Vlasic are about the only two players on this roster that could contribute to winning on a good roster.

Kurashev is a solid middle six forward. Foligno is a good third liner. Same with Dickinson. And ...that's about it.

I still think Kurashev is best as a centre. I agree with your assessment of 17, 16 and 72. Keep them and 55 and say goodbye to the rest.

A true cup contending team, Foligno would be on the 4th line in my opinion. But your point stands, those guys are probably the only ones not named Bedard and Vlasic you can win with. Korchinski possibly in the future but not currently.

Dr Salt said:

My goodness Bedard being everything promised is lovely. Losing sucks atp I'd rather Bedard have 3 point nights over anything lol.

Click to expand...

I'll take multiple point games for Bedard and losses any day of the week with this sh*t roster. The 2024 draft can't come soon enough.

98 is a stud. As others have mentioned, get this kid a legitimate scoring winger to play with and he's going to light the league on fire.

Let's not get carried away. It would be a stacked roster where Seth and Foligno couldn't be starters, and probably Kurashev the way he has improved.

The truth is every team has it's grinders. Guys like Dickinson, Blackwell and a few others would fit the bill. But yeah, the Hawks lack of top end talent is rather sad. How the mighty have fallen (as some of us predicted would happen when Stumbling Stan had the reins).
