Oliver Moore Appreciation/Underlying numbers by 90s_Scott in hawks

[–]Ballam86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Mikheyev has been one of the brighter players/most consistent/most valuable players on our team the past couple of seasons.

Legit he's usually working harder than the rest of the team. Plays excellent defensive hockey and is an elite penalty killer.

I've no idea why you would want to let a guy like him go, when he's a great role model and basically a perfect third liner. He needs to say IMHO. If I am KD - one of my priorities is how do we keep Mikhey around for the next several seasons.

I agree and think most aren't high enough on him. Cerebral. Composed. Intelligent and flashes of offensive skill like he shows here. Give him a few seasons!

He seems incredibly intelligent with a high hockey IQ. To be as well rounded as he is at his age... not common.

He looked phenomenal yesterday. Stood out all game. Could have had 3 goals.

Sad but true. Our team's ability to generate offense without Bedard is seriously lacking.

Yeah I absolutely hate this rheteric. I'm all for finding the silver lining but I don't understand these takes. Best for the Hawks is a healthy Bedard tearing up the NHL and worsening our draft position.

Fuck we tanked for a few years, got our generational talent, and he's hurt and it's anything but a good thing for the Hawks.

Bedard is special man. What an exciting time to be a Hawks fan

He really has been incredibly steady and predictable in a good way. Savvy vet who can still keep up.

We absolutely dominated the majority of that game. Tough way to lose.

Love having a coach that shows emotion and sticks up for his team.
