An update on Reichel; he now has 31 GP, 8 goals, 17 assists, which means 2 a's in his last 5 games. With the Covid affecting this season, I don't know how many games Reichel will end up playing in so I don't know how his goal total will end up compared to last season; he scored 12 g's in 42 games last season. I would say he likely won't equal 12 goals this year if he does play in 42 games again since he would need 4 more goals in the next 11 games and currently has 8 goals.
The good part is he has currently exceeded his assist total from last year by 5 assists. He had 12 a's in 42 games last year and now has 17 so far this season.
The lineup shown for the last two games showed Reichel centered the top line. And he did get a primary assist on a power play in their last game. I don't know if being put on the top line for the last couple of games was temporary due to injury or if maybe the coach just wanted to try it to see how things went, but I'll have to keep tabs on what line he plays on, now that I've figured out the website on the DEL I've been going to.

After being one of the top scoring teams in the DEL, Reichel's team (Eisbaren Berlin) has scored only 6 goals in the last 4 games - so the team's offense has dried up, not just Reichel.

Seems like every update has most of his points coming on the PP. I’d like to see the breakdown on his scoring but my German is horrible.

It does seem like Reichel's last 2-3 goals and 4-5 assists have all come on the power play. I'll go back and look at Eisbaren's games and look at his points on the pp vs 5 on 5.

funny this guy who was drafted almost 10 years ago is still in the conversation as much as he is. his 4 game p/o scoring streak has brought his name to the forefront again. i wonder if he can win faceoffs?
edit: good news about the faceoffs.

Sounds like a next year kind of thing. I guess you could bring him over and see if he would make a decent and younger placeholder than a free agent until someone better can be developed. Maybe he’d be as goofy as Zaddy, might make a good pair.

The Frozen Four finals begin tonight. Wyatt Kaiser is the lone Hawks prospect in the final four. His stats for the year so far is 10 assists in 27 games. How would you like to be a coach in this predicament; I read UMAss will be without four players due to Covid protocols; two of the four are their starting goalie and one of their other two G's, a freshman.
Thursday, April 8
No. 2 Minnesota State (-1.5) vs. No. 2 St. Cloud State, 5 p.m. ET, ESPN2
No. 2 Massachusetts vs. No. 3 Minnesota Duluth (-1.5), 9 p.m. ET, ESPN2
Saturday, April 10

I caught a little of the intermission of the first Frozen Four semifinal game and one of the commentators mentioned one of the four missing players for UMass in the second game was their leading goal scorer.
The other goalie besides the starter to miss the game hadn't played at all this season, so the regular season back up will start in goal later tonight. The commentator also said this; the backup goalie for UMass tonight will be the equipment manager.

I saw the first two periods of Minn-Duluth/UMass and one of the commentators talked about Wyatt Kaiser during the game for about half a minute. He said the Blackhawks liked Kaiser's maturation during his freshman year. Kaiser did make a very good long pass that was right on the money although the F wasn't quite able to get fully free and the dman was able to use his stick and prevent a shot. I also think it was Kaiser that was trying get the puck out of harms way and his pass ended up going right to a UMass player who was about 15 feet to the goalie's right front; he got a shot off that the G stopped.
The commentators would mention players that had already been drafted; I think the Flyers and Predators were mentioned. There seemed to be a number of draftees between the two teams but I would expect that when you get to upper level teams.
However, as a possible NHL back up goalie, the equipment manager remains undrafted.

I said earlier I'd take a closer look at Reichel's points. His stats are now- 35 GP, 9 goals, 18 assists.
A breakdown of his points. His recent points weren't quite as overloaded on the PP as it seemed. Over his last 12 games since Mar. 13, out of his three g's, one was a pp goal; of his four a's, two were pp assists.
For the season; of his 9 total goals; 4 are pp goals, and one was an empty netter. Of his 18 total assists, 7 are pp assists.
A couple of things I noticed: Reichel had somewhat of a power play point surge during Feb. and the first game in March. In those eight games, Reichel had 2 pp goals out of 3 total, and 4 pp assists out of 7 total.
His best point stretch has been Feb. and March. He played 18 games and had 5 goals and 12 assists. He's had six multi point games, if you include his empty netter.
I'd be curious what the Hawks outlook is for Reichel and when they would like to get him to NA. This season is his second in the German men's league and he's still only 18; he'll turn 19 in about a month. I would wonder if they want Reichel over here quickly or, since he's still only 18 right now, leave him in Germany another season and get another year older and stronger before bringing him over.

I hope they make the right call on him, Leaving them their to get more time against men , with out sacrificing his development , bring him back as a 20 year old , Bringing him here next year as a 19 year old , play him in rockford, or here , if lucky , Don't know enough about the league he's in, compared to the AHL, our coaching staff , and being able to see him easily , should count for a lot also

Under normal circumstances I’d like to see him come over and play some junior, get used to the smaller ice and different lifestyle, and grow into his body some more. I’m not even sure if he was picked in the import draft but if COVID wasn’t a thing I think the Hawks could get him into a good program. But I don’t think there’s a rush on him, his own timetable was at least a couple of years. Oh, and great job digging up that info. I couldn’t make hide nor hair out of that site even translated.

I agree with hoping they make the right decision. I would think they would have to weigh if bringing him over next season and putting him in Rockford at 19 would be rushing him compared to if a third season in the same German League wouldn't help his development enough. Can Euro's younger than 20 go to the AHL?
I wondered also how Reichel's German league compared to the AHL over here. One thing Reichel would face in either league is older players. Something else that crossed my mind is if Reichel could be placed in another Euro league that would be a step up from his current league. I have no idea if it's even feasible or if Reichel would even be open to it if it was, since he'll only be 19 next season.

I'd kinda like to see him in Rockford pretty quickly (if it's considered a higher level league comparatively). Getting to know the guys, the culture, getting used to rink size... would be best IMO.

I dunno if that happens next year or the year after, though. I suspect it will be for the 22-23 season...

Reichel's league has finished the regular season. Reichel's final regular season numbers, at 18 and in his second season, are: 38 GP, 10 goals, 18 assists. He had one even strength goal in his last three games. To compare to his numbers last season when he was 17 and in his first season in a men's league; 42 GP, 12 g's, 12 a's.
Eisbaren ended up no. 3 overall in the whole DEL for the regular season, with 76 pts. They were first in their own division but two teams in the other one had 87 pts. and 79 pts. Eisbaren starts their playoffs tomorrow, where they will face the Roosters.
I was looking at Reichel's final numbers and this is just my take. I liked seeing considerably more assists than goals. Not that more goals wouldn't be nice but I've tended to believe quite a few more assists than goals was an indicator the player is a playmaker and can help generate offense by setting guys up, etc. Not that a guy can't be a good goal scorer too but I feel significantly more assists than goals meant playmaking ability. Hopefully Reichel can help generate offense at such time he does get to Chicago, and assuming he proves to be NHL material.
The Hawks are in sore need of guys that can help generate offense; Kane can't do it by himself. I think Dach probably can eventually do it but he needs more experience. I'm not sure about guys like Kurashev and Suter; they have more goals than assists but it is their first year so maybe down the road they will start showing they can generate offense, at least to some extent. I don't know about Borgstrom and if he's a scorer or a playmaker or both. Stan said in an interview he wanted to bring Borgstrom over for next season. HB certainly has the talent but he has to first show he can play at a high level on the ice.

Borgstrom will get every opportunity to succeed if they sign him, because Stan...then Nylander comes back into the lineup. Now you’ve added two more skill guys to the the top nine where we are already lacking grit. Something has to give. It’ll be like the defense pipeline, a lot of possibilities but I’m not sure if they’ll make the right decisions on team makeup, there’s too much fascination with some of these guys. Then some of the prospects get over ripe in the minors, stall their development and then become neither a playable player or a viable trade asset. I wish we had a fresh eye for some of these decisions.

I wish we had a fresh eye for some of these decisions. Good post. This is where I believe the org has made a terrible decision to keep the same GM. If anyone has a job that they won’t be fired from, you’ll shit with the door open, cuz apparently it doesn’t stink. Stan has been trying this type of lineup now since 2016 where he has forced these types of players on his coaches. It’s been roughly 6 years give or take. The team has gotten worse and worse. Now stan is trying to sell a younger team with the same type players though. So his saving grace is that it buys him time. If he loses Kane to age, free agency, or a trade request. The team will be sunk. Does Dcat have the production without Kane? Personally, unless Stan gets some top end talent in here via the top of the draft board. I think we’ll see more of the same. It’s the Wirtz model. I think Tallon broke that model and paid with his employment. Now Stan is back to doing what Pully did. Having total control and no stress in your job. I hope fans don’t show up due to the poor product and the Wirtz’s realize they need a different philosophy and direction!!!

Reichel's team lost their first quarterfinal playoff game, 4-3, to the Iserlohn Roosters. From deciphering the game summary; the game was tied going into the late third and the Roosters scored the game winner with a 5 on 3 man advantage. The summary showed Eisbaren took a penalty at 17:04 and then took another at 17:23; Iserlohn scored the game winner at 19:01. That's was a tough way to lose the game; especially when it was to a team that finished 20 points behind them in the regular season. Eisbaren was terrible at faceoffs in the game; they won 24 and were at 37.5%. Iserlohn won 40 and were at 62.5%. The quarterfinals are best of three so Eisbaren is now behind the eight ball. They play Game 2 tomorrow at Iserlohn.
The halfway good part; Reichel had the primary assist on their second goal. The lineup showed he played first line C.

When you go the summary with all the stats for each game, there is also a video of highlights for that particular game, just like the Rockford game videos that GT has been posting on here. I haven't been looking at them so I decided to watch it for this game. One drawback is you can't enlarge the screen As to be expected, the play by play is in Geman. However, I did learn there apparently isn't a German word for "powerplay" or the phrase "no look pass". You hear both of these in English in the video. The "no look pass" in English comes at the 1:07 mark during a replay highlight of the Roosters first goal. The whole sequence leading to the goal that Reichel assisted on starts about the 1:20 mark; it comes right after the Roosters "no look pass" goal. It looked to me that Reichel starts the whole sequence when he gets the puck at center ice and drives towards the net down the right side and gets off a shot from a bad angle that the G stops and steers towards the corner. The eventual goal scorer, #58, made a good play to help keep the puck in and Reichel ended up getting the puck again and made a nice pass to #58, who headed to the net after keeping the puck in. I hope this works. www.scoreboard.com/game/jcZeq8R9/#video

ok...shalunov again. good that the goalie on this play had made a sizeable bet that shalunov would score that game.
kidding aside, it seems this guy is turning a lot of heads lately.
reminder: he's 28. he's 6'4", depending where you look he's between 205 and 224 lbs., he had 4 assists in 20 games with rockford 7 years ago. 2011 4th rounder.

Eisbaren knocked a bit of the cocka doodle do out of the Roosters. They beat the Roosters 6-0 in their second quarterfinal game. They go back home to Berlin for the rubber match tomorrow.
The good part is Reichel had a goal and an assist, a primary. What I thought was good about his points were they both came early on, when the game was still a contest. He had the primary assist on Eisbaren's very first goal, at 8:10 of the 1st period. His goal came at 3:45 of the 2nd period, which made the game 3-0 at that point.
In the video, Eisbaren is in white and Reichel is #44. This game the lineup showed Reichel as LW on the first line. Interestingly, Reichel was on the right side for both his goal and assist.
In the video, the sequence with Reichel's assist starts at about the :35 mark. Reichel gets the puck on the right side and does a good job of putting on the brakes, then gets the puck to the goal scorer. The sequence leading to his goal starts at about the 1:45 mark. You can see Reichel at the right face off dot in his own zone at the start, then he goes to the left side and after losing the puck, goes to the right side. He looked like he was going to the open area after losing the puck on the left side. It paid off for him.
Faceoffs were almost equal this time. Both teams were perfect in penalty killing; Iserlohn was 7/7 and Eisbaren was 9/9.
From listening to the play by play announcer, apparently there wasn't a 'no look pass' leading to a goal in this game.

The people of Iserlohn overslept this morning because the Roosters had nothing to crow about after getting eliminated yesterday by a score of 5-3. Reichel had no points in the game. The Roosters led 2-0 after the 1st; Eisbaren scored the next four goals before Iserlohn got a goal in the last six seconds of the 2nd; Eisbaren got the game winner midway through the third. Faceoffs were 40-36 in favor of Iserlohn; shots were 40-25 in favor of Eisbaren. They now cross divisions for the next round. Eisbaren will play ERC Ingolstadt, who was the #3 seed in the other division. ERC finished with 59 pts., which is 17 pts. less than Eisbaren had in the regular season. ERC eliminated Munchen who was the #2 seed in their division and finished with 79 pts. ERC eliminated Munchen in two straight, 4-1 and 5-4 in OT. I did learn the "ERC" stands for "Eishockey und Rollschuh club". You can pretty much figure this one out: "Hockey and Roller skate Club." According to the lineup, Reichel has been on the top line for all three playoff games; the first one at C and the last two at LW. What's interesting is, for the last three regular season games, he was C on Line 2 for the 3rd and 2nd from last regular season games and at LW on Line 3 in the last reg. season game. I'm not sure what prompted the move to the top line for the playoffs but he had one goal and two assists for the three game series. We'll see where he plays for the next playoff series. Here's an extra tidbit. Everyone knows the Blackhawks goal song is "Chelsea Dagger". Eisbaren's goal song is the "Can-Can." You hear several seconds of the song after each Eisbaren goal, though sometimes it's cut a bit short. At about the 1:22 mark, Eisbaren's #97 gets a breakaway and scores. After a second, you'll hear about 10 seconds of the Can-Can. www.scoreboard.com/game/CjntVMhS/#video
