I floated the idea of moving Bedard back up top, because he liked being up there for a stretch last season. But Blashill said Bedard has "produced the most when he's on his downhill side" and they both prefer him there on the half wall.
The #Blackhawks need to fire Mike Velucci.
He has proven time and time again that he has no idea how to maximize the talent on this unit.
Even missing Bowen Byram, this team has way too much offensive talent for the power play to be struggling this hard.
My 2 questions for #NJDevils GM Sunny Mehta at his press conference today and his well thought out answers.
Called him out for bluffing. Got him talking about Bayesian hierarchical models. And allegedly stole @mikemorrealeNHL’s question 😂
The Blackhawks have been using a 5 forward power play in the 4 games since Byram left the lineup, they’ve gone 1 for 20 in that time.
They had a 6 day break after the second game, came back, and did the same thing. In the 2 games after the break, PP is 0/12.
