IGT - Chicago Blackhawks/St. Louis Blues at Scottrade Center (7:00 cst)

Olczyk returning to broadcast Blackhawks-Blues on Wednesday

Analyst will work games as health during treatment for colon cancer allows

NHL.com @NHL October 16th, 2017






Eddie Olczyk will be part of the NBCSN broadcast when the Chicago Blackhawks play the St. Louis Blues at Scottrade Center on Wednesday (8 p.m. ET; NHL.TV).
Olczyk said Aug. 8 that he was diagnosed with colon cancer. He is six weeks into a 24-week chemotherapy regimen.

"Three treatments in. Nine to go," he told USA Today on Monday. "We are a quarter of the way into the race and we are grinding it out."
Olczyk said he also will be part of the WGN broadcast for the Blackhawks game against the Edmonton Oilers at United Center on Thursday (8:30 p.m. ET; NHL.TV) and will work other games as his health allows.
"We have some dates that we have highlighted and hopefully I will be strong to do the job," Olczyk said. "If I am not feeling good, I just have to be honest with everyone and tell them I can't do it."
Olczyk said focusing on work will help him get through his treatment.
"Doing what I love to do will help me pass the time," he said. "Looking at the calendar hour by hour, day by day, week by week, month by month gets a little long."

I wonder if those fucking doctors allow Eddie his soft-serve ice cream... I will fucking kick their teeth in if they don't.

Double posted GDTs, shame!

it depends on if we win or not.

So far you need to go stand in the corner and face the walls.

The Hawks were skittish after the Blues hitting frenzy in the 1st. Too bad they didn't start playing until 8 minutes left in the game.


But I blame myself for the loss, after botching this game thread. I will never make a IGT again, and will go to the box for 2 minutes and feel shame.

Eddie will be back on WGN tonight too.

Terrible game, seems Keith and Seabrooks first option is trying to clear the puck to the blue paint.

They get away with it so much but when its bad its really bad.

Horrible game by all.

Onto Edmonton--maybe the core won't mail it in tonight.

Well, that was embarrassing... Tater I think ur banned from GDTs

Well? Is anyone gonna make an Edmonton game thread? HEH?!?!?
