13 Blackhawks are representing 10 countries at the world championship beginning Friday in Slovakia

Long playoff runs prevented the Blackhawks from being represented at the world championship for many years, but this year 10 players who spent time on the Hawks roster this season, as well as three prospects, will be in Slovakia in pursuit of a world title.

I wish I could put coin for Blackhawks to win in 2021 49 months early.

Here is a schedule that lists the games on NHLN, I'm not sure where else they are being televised that could be seen here though.

Tavares got injured in their last practice. Dont know how bad it is, but he probably would not have gotten hurt if he was in some tropical paradise.

For those that passed on the article...

its quite a glowing endorsement of some near to NHL Blackhawks forwards with promise.

Time to get Panarin or put those two together. Maybe that is the idea.

On the NHL Network during the day. US played like shit, but Canada lost too. Some great games, crowds are fanatical.

Kakko(sp?) looked great against Slovakia.

Don’t miss the second video from practice.

well that sucked.

I just watched Jack Hughes highlights, and the best move for team U.S.A. would be to treat him like a secret weapon with his unique style of speed/stick play, and hold him out for the games that matter.

I'm not saying thats the plan, but it might be the plan, because I think at his current age and weight he can be adapted against by the bigger stronger veterans who are experienced in taking guys off the puck. The best way to protect him would be to have opponents see as little as possible in the preliminary rounds, then use him in some unique way with Kane or Eichel or both, or on power plays.

I am hoping that is the case...that they unleash this dude and take the IIHF.
