ah, Warren Scoreagainstme. positioning so bad that literally every save was a circus save. a low point in hawks history, especially given they saw fit to let him wear #1. |

That was a fun game to be at. DiDomenico dominated... It was a lot of fun to watch his line when they were out there. He's just on another level compared to everyone else on the ice. Not really sure why he's in the AHL, or why Ottawa traded him for Pokka(who can't skate). Seems like a good energy 4th line guy that can chip in offensively...even if he's 29. Good speed, good hands, great vision(made some ridiculous passes that his teammates failed to tap in), good shot... The Icehogs play a high tempo, aggressive, physical game. Always two guys on the puck. Always two guys hard on the forecheck. Third forward is always cutting out the middle of the ice. Defense are up on their man, cutting off the stretch pass... They are always taking the body too. They play man defense in their zone. And they are aggressive. They aren't sitting back and letting guys cycle the puck or fuck around in the corners. Their defense go right at them, take the body, and another player comes in to support the puck. They also clear the front of the net, which is fucking amazing... Their power play setup was good. They had multiple shooting options, and if not for some HUGE saves from Lagace, they probably go 4/6. He kept the Wolves in the game the whole night. Franson was a nasty, physical, imposing presence. A complete 180 from the neutered player we saw with the Hawks. All in all, it was refreshing to see how Colliton has this team playing. Especially compared to the fucking bullshit the Hawks play. They resemble Vegas, to be perfectly honest. Aggressive forecheck, quick short passes with speed, lots of taking the body and puck support, and almost always attacking as a unit.. A couple years ago, Q could have had this guy Colliton fired for this kind of bullshit hockey. Where's the active sticks !! |

Shit, I almost forgot to mention Martinsen. Man, do I want him on the Hawk's 4th line next season. He plays SO fucking heavy. Throws his weight around, and with purpose. At least two or three wolves got up REAL slow after he finished his hit in the corner. Guys were tentative and jumpy every time he was on the ice. When he hits...it hurts. Guys avoided preceding him into the corner the entire night.
Oh, and Svedberg is one of the worst skaters I have ever seen at the professional level. He fell down for no reason quite a few times.

Regarding Lurch Svedberg, was it the blue line or the red line that tripped him ? ice to slippery maybe ? |

Ice too slippery, for sure.

That description is the Hogs makes me think they would take the disinterested version of the Hawks we saw so much of this year to the woodshed if they ever played.
...and that ain't good.

ah, Warren Scoreagainstme. positioning so bad that literally every save was a circus save. a low point in hawks history, especially given they saw fit to let him wear #1. He was no Steve Passmore. |
