Motor City Sonics Posted October 20, 2021 Author Share Posted October 20, 2021 I hope Luke is okay. If he needs some games off, Veleno has started well at GR and is motivated to prove the team was wrong to start him there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagnam Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 If they can just stay competitive then it will be fun to watch again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gehringer_2 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) Just watching Seider is going to be fun. I didn't see who it was but just a little play that passed with no-one noticing but a Jacket skated into Seider to check him, and just bounced off. The kid's like a Jersey barrier on skates. And the confidence to reverse the puck instead of giving up possession on blind dumps up ice. Edited October 20, 2021 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, I said Decent, I'm not sending a roster to the Stanley Cup engravers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's focus on the positive: the hawks are getting blown out again and are in cap hell without first round picks for a couple years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's focus on the positive: the hawks are getting blown out again and are in cap hell without first round picks for a couple years. I think the big unknown is the 1st line. If Larkin and Bertuzzi plus a new line-mate stay healthy and recapture some of what they were doing in the 2nd half of 2019, that's going to percolate down through the match-ups. They've looked good together through 4 periods, but small sample sizes apply. The other big risk is Seider somehow losing this early confidence and slumping. So far he and Leddy amount to a new #1 D pair, pushing your old #1 pairing down to having to play less against the oppositions best. That's a lot of roster improvement in one season if it holds together that way. But yeah - we have to see what it looks like against a better cross section of the opposition.

As long as Greiss keeps playing the way he has since the middle of last season, they can be interesting. Greiss had that weird season, split right in half. First 17 games he was awful, Second 17 he was good enough to be an award nominee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
