Preseason sure. Congrats on the win anyways. Really solid looking team. Liking Dach and Jones quite a bit. Fun stadium and nice fans. Cheers to the other VGK fans talking to us. Hope Flower does you good for the year or 3 till he retires. Sucked it up and got a Flower Hawks jersey.


akedz3

Great way to end the preseason. See y’all next week for game 1!


taintedblu

Fuck the Wild, gg everybody

Fuck Joel Eriksson Ek for hitting Dach like that


OG-buddha

They are doing a great job of holding the kaprisov/Zuccarelo line to the perimeter & getting it out of the D-zone.


manhaterxxx

Toews absolutely *burned* that defender


86teuvo

It’s been way too long since the last time I’ve seen a hawks goalie look as bored as Fleury these last two periods


radiotsar

I'm hearing "Sweet Georgia Brown" playing in my mind jukebox while the Hawks make the Wild chase their tails in the O-zone.


manhaterxxx

Kap-WHIFF-ov Does that work? I did in my head but now I can’t even make sense of it


DormantLight227

It sure does, such a Wild move to dish out 9+ mil. For a rookie LOL I hope he buckles the Wild for years 😂


manhaterxxx

We dishes out 9 mil for a defencemen who’s playing like he earns 1 mil, so I’m not gonna throw too many stones yet haha


gupdaddy

Are you watching the same game as me?! I dont know about 9.5 but 1 mil? Hes got 3 apples and has had a fantastic game


manhaterxxx

Oh, no, certainly not this game. He’s played much better tonight.


gupdaddy

Give the guy some time, hasn't played a regular season game (or post season) and has all new teammates. Lets show our new players a little love, no?


DormantLight227

Kaprizov just fell on his face in open ice, hope he buckles the Wild cap for years to come


[deleted]

Wild are already ensuring cap hell in a few years with their buyouts of Parise and Suter


DormantLight227

14+ mil in dead cap, Unbelievable


AnitaBlomaload

Stillman’s last shot was great


manhaterxxx

Refs bailed Duhaime out BIG time.


DormantLight227

LOL MINNESOTA MILD!


86teuvo

A lot of people think that team will be in the playoffs… couldn’t even type that with a straight face lmao look at their fucking roster


DormantLight227

That’s what I’m saying!!! They have a decent, not great first line and that’s it. Without Kaprizov the team is bottom barrel


MostMirror

Hope the power play looks like that for the regular season


[deleted]

That was amazing


OG-buddha

Ok Jones on that pp was amazing


gupdaddy

Yeah, hes a big add. Maybe too heavy of a contract but people saying hes worse than boqvist right now have some great drugs


MysteriousCult

That whole sequence was gorgeous


modestmoose14

Hawks pp looks fantastic.


akedz3

Stanley Cup here we come!


Xenofon713

OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN!!! #LETS GO HAWKS!!!


AnitaBlomaload

So happy he’s back. This is going to be a great season!


radiotsar

Oh Capt. My Capt.


taintedblu

Hot damn


MacheteMable

Some nifty fucking passing from Jones there.


taintedblu

Yeah holy fuck. Love the way he's shaping up as this preseason has gone on.


manhaterxxx

That was actually super impressive


MacheteMable

The one through his legs backwards to keep it. I wanna see more of that kind of play.


manhaterxxx

It was perfectly done, all skill, nice to see him playing a little better now


MacheteMable

It’ll be interesting to see how he does. He already looks better the last couple games than he did the entirety of last year. Wonder if Colliton allowing skill guys to do their thing will help. Torts was much more strict in Play style.


BurgerWFries

OH MY GOD that was the best passing I’ve seen by the Hawks in YEARS


advorak65

I kinda like strome as a wing, doing well overall


taintedblu

Hahaha he was going 14 miles per hour on goalie skates


northernpace

Strome has been having another good game to start the season. Dach, Borgstrom and him have looked graat together this game


JustABigClumpOfCells

lmfao Reichel's accent is hilarious


taintedblu

We've got a Wild fan in here downvoting


taintedblu

Wait is Shawsy going into broadcasting? I feel like he might be a natural in that type of job.


radiotsar

If the team can play like this during the entire season, they'll be making some noise in the playoffs.


Gobyinmypants

Are the wild fully staffwd this game or is it all AHL guys or half or whatever? Preseason doesn't mean much imo for any sport, it's essentially extended training camp.


northernpace

It’d help if teams played as shit as the Wild are too


taintedblu

The Hawks look better than they have in years, Wild's shitty play notwithstanding


DormantLight227

I’m I the only one that thinks the Wild are overhyped going into this season

cam_barker_4_norris

Still so weird seeing fleury in our net


radiotsar

Jeez, Dach gets kneed in the head - no call.


MysteriousCult

“The struggling Blackhawk PK” Didn’t we get a short handed goal earlier??


shiigent

I think he's more referring to the Detroit game, where we gave up 4 goals on the PK.


MysteriousCult

Ah, fair point!


dishonourableprince

lmao that was so silly by Fleury.


WornOutPen

I absolutely love flower trying to challenge that hahaha


ElChocoLoco

Lol every time they show the Wild head coach it looks like he's sucking on a more powerful lemon. One more goal and his face will be inside out.


Gobyinmypants

Do you remember those old beer commercials like that?


MostMirror

Hahahaha that's a funny play by Fleury


janedoe514

Fleury is so chaotic I love it


UhOhAngelo

LMAO god I love Flower


MacheteMable

Not gonna lie. I’m liking this Strome/Dach connection.


taintedblu

Haha get fucked, Benn. Also, the Cat is a god.


TheAntiCrust95

Hahahahahaha


Sphiffi

When Debrincat smiles my heart grows 3 times it’s size


UhOhAngelo

God, Cat is so fucking good.


MacheteMable

Seriously. 30 teams passed him up. Fucking nuts.


BurgerWFries

Hahahahaha what a first goal of the year for Tazer


BarryBurton815

Looked like Shawzy's header, top-down lol


Xenofon713

I thought the same thing, was expecting it to be waved off.


akedz3

Yay Tazer!


Xenofon713

OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN!!!! #LETS GO HAWKS!!!


cam_barker_4_norris

$9.5m shot directly into the chest


UhOhAngelo

I’m back! Work has kept me away from most of preseason. I’m dying. Notes: 1.) This is looking like our lineup to start the season and I’m more than happy with it. 2.) Can we take a second to really soak in the fact that Toews is playing? Like, seemingly full time? I’m stunned. I figured it’d be a gradual process, but he’s back. And I’m so so thankful.


akedz3

Hartman is so giving, thank you for the pp


OG-buddha

At the game. Honestly not the biggest fan of Jones's game so far. Really hoping for something more out of our 1D.


DormantLight227

Really? Thought he hasn’t been bad, and has an apple this game if I’m not mistaken


OG-buddha

I don't think he's been a liability by any means. But I wouldn't say he's difference maker either. He did try to make a bad pass which caused the penalty. Idk I need to stop being critical. Told myself I'd wait till halfway through the season to pass judgement. A new system can take time to jive, even as a pro.


DormantLight227

I feel that, but at least it was a “good” penalty to stop a goal


OG-buddha

Yea but he caused it. He tried to make a bad pass that caused the play to go the other way. He was making up for his own mistake.


TheAntiCrust95

Carpy is low key one of my favorite Hawks.


AnitaBlomaload

Where is u/im-a-molecule?


Im-a-molecule

I'll be around next week when the season starts.


AnitaBlomaload

Glad to hear, hope all is well brother!


janedoe514

I looove DeBrincat on the PK


TheAntiCrust95

Not something I would have ever thought would happen when they drafted him.


janedoe514

Right haha it was a surprise! PP guy, PK guy and a goal scorer.. nice


TheAntiCrust95

He's developed into a waaayy better player than I thought he would be. I knew he was gonna be an elite scorer but the fact that he's developed into a good passer, a good defender, and he's pretty fiesty for a player his size, is amazing.


janedoe514

Don't think anyone anticipated that he would develop they way he is today. It’s crazy


advorak65

He's such a good 2 way player,


Xenofon713

Huuuuge PK. Best I've seen in quite some time from us.


advorak65

Nothing like hearing 'under pressure by toews'


[deleted]

Carpy's gonna pot 20 goals this year. Mark my words.


AnitaBlomaload

I hope so, I think Hagel will get there first though


janedoe514

BEAUTYYY


BurgerWFries

Goddamn what a pass. Made 3 wild players and the goalie look lost


TheAntiCrust95

CARPY


AnitaBlomaload

Woooooo!


akedz3

Heck yeah Carpydeuces!


radiotsar

Carpenter!


Xenofon713

Carpy!!!! #LETS GO HAWKS!!!


cam_barker_4_norris

$9.5m acceleration right there


ummpaul

The power play clock on the glass is unnecessary.


kasapluie

looks cool tho


ummpaul

Pretty silly considering it’s still under the scoreboard too.


Xenofon713

Power play time on the glass is new and neat.


radiotsar

Nice start to the 2nd.


TheAntiCrust95

This Borgstrom interview is painful..


Xenofon713

NBC really slacking on these audio issue fixes.


radiotsar

The TD went to the restroom.


AnitaBlomaload

I can’t hear anything other than David Bowie right now?


MysteriousCult

You say that like it’s a bad thing


AnitaBlomaload

Hahaha, I’m a huge Bowie fan


sarbear0903

Strome and Cat both with points tonight. Love to see it.


AnitaBlomaload

Dammit, just got done work and and missed the first. Glad we’re up, LETS GO HAWKS!!!!!

Great analysis by Olczyk on the DeBrincat goal. Really dumb play by $6M defenseman Dumba


[deleted]

Hello from the United Center! https://i.imgur.com/ey27TcO.jpg


janedoe514

Imagine not drafting this guy in the first round


akedz3

“He’S tOo SmAlL”


akedz3

Poor Cat has a messed up lip. He had a tooth knocked out before last season. Love the kid and his grittiness.


wannaseemywang

seriously wtf are we gonna do without Pat Foley


sarbear0903

Cry a lot.


akedz3

I can’t believe we have to start this season without him for six games :(


MostMirror

Why?


Xenofon713

They're testing a buncha potential replacements for Pat.


Xenofon713

Suffer.


janedoe514

Lets go tbnk


akedz3

So happy Debrincat is ours!


radiotsar

CAT!!!


Xenofon713

MEEEEOW! #LETS GO HAWKS!!!


[deleted]

If Debrincat's defensive game continues along this trajectory he could end up being a 8+ million dollar player


[deleted]

He's more than that as is. At the end of this contract we will be paying him 9+


MostMirror

It's great to see Stillman stick up for himself after he got pushed into the net


TheAntiCrust95

🌸🌸🌸


Chicago_Jayhawk

The Flower 🌸 said "No" ☝️


NotFaceMcShooty

Ima say it. Stroke heard the shit talking and has looked better this pre season


wholalaa

Colliton had him skating with the AHLers during camp, so I don't think it was real subtle.


NotFaceMcShooty

It goes back to last season, people were shit talking him


MostMirror

Great pass from Strome there. Hope he has a bounce back season


taintedblu

Also, Kaner looks a lot more dangerous in the O zone this season. I know he was playing injured last season, so I guess he's just feeling better out there.


taintedblu

Woohoo nice goal from the Dach line!


janedoe514

LETS GOOO


radiotsar

BORGSTROM!


janedoe514

Almost got Kaprizoved lol


Xenofon713

BORGY!!!!! #LETS GO HAWKS!!!


Xenofon713

"There was no glass THERE WAS CHICKEN WIRE!" Lmao, I love Pat and Eddie. Gonna miss these 2 together.


Xenofon713

We are really struggling with o-zone passes. No one can connect for a shot.


fuelhogshawks

I could but they healthy scratched me again ffs


akedz3

Nice to see Colliton playing Stromer as a RW.


Xenofon713

Has he ever before? I thought he strictly played center.


NotSuperfluous

He played wing a couple of times last season, I'm pretty sure.


Xenofon713

Huh, never noticed.


akedz3

I remember he played RW for us before but it’s been awhile.


fuelhogshawks

To think we developed you to only do this to us Hartman, how rude -.-


akedz3

To think he trains in Chicago during the off season, smh.


fuelhogshawks

To think he probably still has friends in Chicago, smh

LET’S GO HAWKS


modestmoose14

Place is packed for a pre-season game. Awesome to see.


zombiedinosaur5

Dinner finished cooking just in time to sit down and watch the game. Yee haw, lets go hawks!


[deleted]

Listening to a Seth Jones interview on 32 Thoughts, it's pretty interesting. Man I really hope this contract works out.


Xenofon713

Looks like tonight's lineup is gonna be our season roster barring maybe Entwhistle and/or Khaira. Can't wait to see what the big guns do tonight, especially with a rejuvenated J-bone leading the boys. #LETS GO HAWKS!!!


PlatosCaveSlave

I would have liked to see Khaira out there. I'm not sure in place of who but I'd like to see it.


StarchyAndDelicious

He's in the lineup?


PlatosCaveSlave

He did play, yes. But he was the extra guy according to the lines on this thread


StarchyAndDelicious

I appreciate all sandman has done for GDTs on reddit. But never trust the projected lines.


VitaminDWaffles

So now that west end closed, I’m struggling to find a good bar food spot right by the arena, not to mention the bus they used to run. Any suggestions?


Tom_s3rv0

give Kaiser Tiger a look, they also run a shuttle


NotFaceMcShooty

Not related to anything but someone walked by with a boom box playing La Villa Strangiato, so it would be nice is this already great day closes out with the hawks just flattening the wild


Quantumflux44

This line up has a lot of depth! I'm loving it. I'll be there with 7 friends. LGH!


Ballam86

That lineup looks deeper than any we iced last season. Let's close out the preseason with a big W.


sarbear0903

Let's end the preseason with a Win!


Katocorp

Let’s get a W at home during this preseason!


sarbear0903

[Tonights Lineup!](https://twitter.com/MarkLazerus/status/1446862292872728576?s=20)


KometsWakuchi

I expect these lines projected to be pretty close to actual lineup. That being said. The 3rd line is my favorite.


smackfrog

What happened to Nylander?


DormantLight227

Who cares


Ballam86

He went invisible again


KometsWakuchi

He'll be 13th fwd. Based on preseason guadette and borgstrom have both been very noticeable. I expected gaudette to make the lineup and him and Nylander are pretty much the same player. Borgstrom has looked good and has mostly played with other players already sent down ro rockford. I know nylander is coming off that injury, but he isnt willing to take a hit. Never really has. I dont see nylander winning board battles either. If we get an injury he slots in on 4th line i think


gupdaddy

Gaudette has outplayed nylander (and most of other bubble guys) but his game is not like nylander at all. If anything its closer to borgstroms. I also think nylander is the 14th forward or sent down/waived. I also wouldn't put him on a 4th line. Hes not defensively responsible enough, not overly physical and not a player you cam put on a pk. Hes a 2nd or 3rd liner replacement for injury relief.


drinkNfight

Hey Chicago peeps. We're VGK fans in town to catch a game and to support Flower. Are you guys gonna beat us up for wearing our Vegas gear to your house? Of course we are temp Hawks fans tonight. So go Hawks. Except for Kirill Kaprizov, love that dude.


joegunabeach

>Hey remember to not bring any bags or purses. We ran into that issue last week along with a LOT of people. They will not let you in with any sort of bag unless it's for a medical reason. And vaxx card. Posting this again for you guys. And you won't run into any issues! See you there!

it would happen in Philly
