heard panger say that coach luke sat mikheyev - despite good defense (was a +4, now a +5) because mikheyev only had 1 goal. 2 goals now. what's the excuse for anderson?

soderblom looks great this year. kudos to him and waite.

sad part is the canucks thought the hawks were crap and i suppose they were correct. nothing better for a struggling, unconfident goalie like shilovs facing the blackhawks to get back on track.



Not really sure what's going on with Bedard. Looks like he's just disinterested. The rest of them, playing about as well as can be expected. At least they aren't getting throttled.

I wouldn't say he looks uninterested. To me he looks like someone who has lost his confidence and is now gripping the stick too tight and thinking too much when he has the puck.

yeah, that's probably a better way to put it. He just looks off. He's not shooting enough (5 shots on goal in the last four games and 9 shots in 5 games). I find it hard to believe he's not getting enough opportunities. Someone else has to step up and take some pressure off him and that someone is not Ryan Donato.

He's being moved to wing tonight and paired with Dickerson which I think is a very smart thing to do. He might think he's a center, but he's a wing. he's not fast enough to play center. Much better to give him less defensive responsibility, let him get a head start on the rush since he's guarding the other team's d man. Not sure about Anderson being on the other wing, but I'm not going to nitpik it.

I'm enjoying watching this team on ESPN+ even though they lose more than they win. I'm assuming that Anderson is there to go into the corners and dig pucks out for Bedard to make plays. Not sold on that idea but willing to be convinced.

And Rick Ball is a perfectly competent PBP guy, which helps the broadcasts go easier. I just hit mute between periods.

That’s paid off, Dickinson with 2 goals and Bedard with 2 assists. Great patience and pass on the first goal. Edit: pass on the second goal was equally sweet. Looked off the d.

Another shitty third period. And I've seen enough of BJ Brodie.

yep, now I'm annoyed it took this long to figure out that maybe pairing your two best forwards together is a good idea.

Perfect game. Bedard gets a couple nice points and we lose to a fellow lottery team.


This team needs a high end superstar prospect to pair with Bedard. Only way they get that is through the draft.

Aside from Vlasic, are there any young players who have actually progressed during Luke Richardson's tenure?
