Nice goal by TJ.

Friendship ended with Kirby Dach. Tyler Johnson is new best friend.

He's even shooting, starting to lose those pass first tendencies. No Kane might help that, maybe. Nice to see him work & create chances for himself.

Loved seeing that, and as much as I love Kane, that could be a silver lining of his being out a game or more, i.e., the kids not trying to impress Kane by mimicking his play.

Or passing to him when they are in a better position to shoot.

Exactly, and that's a problem for the veterans, too.

Besides Gus sneaking into de Haan's sweater for that pizza delivery, that was a good period. Kubs was delivering some big hits at the end. Looking like a decent team so far.

Cat did just that when he had a clear look near the end of the period, I think.

Well, the Bears are trying their best to make the Hawks look competent.

Dach drafted by Stan = Fail. If it had been Stevie Y = Friendship intact.

Looking at 5x5 stats, Hawks had 13-11 advantage in SATs (6-4 in SOGs) but 1-7 in SC.

Almost every Hawk SAT (except for Johnson’s goal) was from above the circles.

Ain’t gonna get many goals from there.

Don't deprive Adb of his chance as well, Sage. Agree though. A lot don't hit the net either from that distance. Need to work down below the circles or win some puck battles or deflect from that distance. Still happy with the effort of period 1 overall, baby steps.

I still say - tomorrow they should have a dual news conference, firing of both coaches/in the Bears case firing their GM and team president (Phillips), and both teams name new GM's. At least then we would not have to listen to sports talk radio analyze the Bears game.

I don’t think there’s an SC if there isn’t an SAT.

Johnson commits way too many penalties

Gus just lolligagging back

Crap, Mitchell caught in a 2 on 1

Sad thing is the Bears and Hawks gifted what appear to be high 1sts in an effort to "go for it". I truly am not optimistic about either franchise.

Certainly looks like we will beat that record of not having a lead for 324+ minutes. Yikes

At least preseason was sort of fun

I meant on the pp.

Playing shorthanded is what they do best, apparently. But yes, he does. He can't battle for pucks in the box ...

Crap. I'm done giving praise. Total change from the first period.

Certainly seems that way now...sigh

This is sad man

I can't wait to see Kirby Dach when he is 23.

They both have the same # of points. Strome was signed last year btw.
- LAHawk

Last season
Strome - 17 points
Suter - 27 points

3-1 Wings - rock bottom must be close 🤦‍♂️
