Zach Jarom: Game Day: Hawks vs Ducks

Hopefully AA can work himself back into shape in short order. It would be nice to have another decent skill guy at their disposal.

Like everyone else, I'll be excited to see what Slaggert looks like on the big boy ice.

So, who sits when Slaggert plays? R. Johnson or Entwhistle? I think Johnson.

Whoever messes up tonight.

Both those guys have to play like their hair is on fire tonight if they want to stay in the lineup once Slaggert slots in. That goes for Raddysh and Anderson too.

Reese Johnson is not an NHL player. I’d like to see Entwhistle get more time, he actually wins some board battles. Not a difference maker but could be a solid third liner.

I think Entwistle tries really hard, which is commendable, but he's likely a 4th liner at best.

The sad part is, without much talent, Reese Johnson puts his all into his game. I wish Entwistle played with the same intensity more often. I find Entwistle has one game in four where he plays hard. He’s not bad in that one game but he’s completely invisible in the other three.

Sit 98, overrated...he needs to be in press box to learn the pro game. He is only interested in padding his stat sheet.

I’ve heard this nonsense before. I’m guessing you want him blocking shots, fighting, throwing hits? He came into the NHL as a possession play driver. He can, and has to learn how to identify and contain his man on the backcheck. I see him coming back hard but fail to pick up the open man, that means he’s willing to do the job he just has to figure out how to do it properly.

Let's go 'Hawks!
Good to see AA getting back to playing.

Yeah same. If there is an actual Hawk fan advocating for 98 not to be in the lineup, tarring and feathering should be on the table, but there's no way that wasn't sarcasm.

He's a bum! Trade him before the rest of the league catches on! RF

I’ve heard a couple of “fans” suggest similar.

Entwhistle has hands of stone. He will never be anything but a 4th liner on a good team.

Yeah, well, that goes without saying.

Wtf is with Detroit? About to lose their 6th in a row, and they're giving it up like a French whore (apologies to French whores).

Is Seth injured? Not on PP1 or 2..

Did anyone really expect him to be more than that?

Larkin went down and they fell apart. Hey, Kane is even for the game.

Byram may show what all the pre draft hype was about in Buffalo. He was the same type of defender in Colorado and wasn’t about to unseat Makar.
