Back at it against a top team in the division.
Hopefully the hawks can refocus after the break since the only chance they have in any game is if they are completely focused on their tasks at hand.
If not…should be a long night.
Jets 5 Hawks 1

No chance. Hellebuyck owns the Hawks.

Hawks seem to focus better vs good teams. Still, Winterpeg 4-2.

Not much hope currently for this team. I watch to see 98 and how many points and hi lite goals he can tally up. Another lost season...

100 for bleeders? Fuck that. Those tix should still be super cheap to get more fans eyes on Bedard and gatherninterest for when the team is competitive again.
Bedard goal complete with initial between the legs shot, scored on his own rebound. Ridiculous.
Imagine if Gretzky or Lemieux could have made moves like that without fear they’d be killed by a Scott stevens type hit during the execution of the move. Fuck they’d have scored 100 goals a year each, every year.
You can talk about the enhanced skill levels of the players today—it’s true they do have crazy skill levels—but what the superstars of yesteryear went through to score how they did was pretty impressive in itself.
It’s why comparing stats of each era is a futile discussion. Game changed too much too often.

I’m not sure how that was a tripping penalty on Tinordi. Fucking Ridiculous.
Plus it’s not like the jets need help here.

Mrazek should be traded after this game before he starts sucking or gets hurt.

This Bedard kid isn’t half bad.

Pretty sure he can score some. Nice post game on ice interview. 'You have 32 pts in 34 games. Has it been everything you thought it would be'?
You mean besides the constant losing?
Anyhow, good effort for being on their heels a lot.

Mrazek should be traded after this game before he starts sucking or gets hurt. Exactly. He could really screw up the draft position. |

As I said earlier the only reason to watch The Hawks is for 98. Just awesome. Will he lead Hawks to a stretch of Cups like Kane and the others did? Maybe. But there is hope if he stays on his expected path.

The pressure is on KD to make things happen around #98. It isn't going to happen in a year or two, but there has to be progress shown. And that means the draft picks they receive for players like Lafferty (who was very useful for Chicago) have to produce, or it is a step backwards.
There is enough potential on the defensive end to say it is a work in progress, injuries notwithstanding. The forwards are another matter.
And it says something about this roster that Lafferty would be like the #4 or #5 forward on this roster. Yikes.
Mrazek overall has been as good this year as he was bad last year, so yes, move him while he has value. Though I think there is more pressure to bring back useful players as opposed to the proverbial 5th round draft choice.

Bringing in a couple almost ready skaters that know where the net is, would be good for 98s psyche. We have enough picks.

This year is still about the tank. KD should be having a going out of business sale come the TDL. More picks even in future years are still valuable as trade chips.
