Felt like it warranted it's own thread: https://www.nhl.com/news/jonathan-toews-to-play-final-game-with-chicago-blackhawks/c-343471322

Hmm. Didn't really see this coming, but then again, the Hawks do have a ton of new defensive prospects in the pipeline now. I thought Beaudin looked fairly decent the few times he was up, but I hadn't followed him in Rockford. Guess he was the odd man out.

Good riddance. https://currently.att.yahoo.com/news/scotty-bowman-moves-job-blackhawks-212402549.html

Tonight's the night, 6 pm on ESPN. Currently, Hawks have no 1st Round picks, but it's quite possible they trade for one during the draft. Earliest they pick (at least right now) is in the 2nd Round (38th, 57th), which is televised tomorrow on NHL Network. This team needs so much at every...

Assistant coach from Montreal. We'll see I guess. Sounds like he played a ton of NHL games; was a defenseman. Can't say I remember him. https://www.bleachernation.com/blackhawks/2022/06/24/blackhawks-reportedly-hiring-luke-richardson-as-next-head-coach/

Know this is late but wanted to start a thread on this -- pretty simple, list the teams you think will (or want to) advance. If you want to put the games go ahead. If you want to put more than the 1st round go ahead. Mine ( a few of these based more on who I want to win rather than who I think...

Enjoyable listen. Part 1 is especially illuminating. Foley mentions that "it's different today" with regard to being able to tell a joke and have fun on-air. Sounds like he's at least somewhat retiring because of all the bull shit "scandals" in recent years. I can't say I blame him, but it's sad...

Figured we should have a thread dedicated to this, especially with the deadline approaching, even though no one posts in here anymore, lol. So, this is interesting, and if true, I think I'd pull the trigger, especially if it's multiple top picks and prospects. Mrazek is signed through 2024 with...

Big story lines in this game: Keith back from injury, first time back at UC. Toews back. Tyler Johnson back. Stillman back.

Horrible year for injuries all around for the Hawks this year. I'm not saying a healthier Hawks team would have fared any better this year necessarily, but still, it certainly didn't help matters. https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/blackhawks-jujhar-khaira-remainder-season-back-surgery/

Just figured I'd make a thread where we could vent about all the horrible broadcasters trying to fill the Hawks' box for the foreseeable future. Can somebody tell Colby Cohen that nobody wants to hear any color guy talk more than the play-by-play guy, especially when said guy is Colby Cohen...

The easy answer of course is, "everyone gone," but that's also a boring an unrealistic answer. I'm not opposed to trading the grand majority of players at this point, but even if you want to move "everyone," you probably can't (for one reason or another), so realistically what is your list? I...

Look familiar? https://currently.att.yahoo.com/sports/nhl-devils-unveil-third-jerseys-designed-by-martin-brodeur-and-the-internet-has-thoughts-163627601.html

Please tell me someone else caught this last night (I'm assuming what was said exactly, other than the last phrase which was undeniable and obvious through lip reading): Just before the puck drop, camera right on King -- Ref 1 skates by (you can see the stripes in the reflection of the glass)...

Foley mentioned this during the broadcast last night. He mentioned that the Seattle Kraken's home opener was only available on ESPN's bullshit new app, so the majority of Seattle fans couldn't even watch it. He also said that this will happen with every NHL team eventually, including the...

Well, well, well, what'dya know? https://www.yahoo.com/news/dylan-strome-see-1st-action-172800793.html

Yay, I guess? This dude reminds me too much of Stalberg (who retired recently by the way) in the short time he's been a Hawk and when he hasn't been hurt. At least he's cheap at 1 year and 848,000 -- pretty much a last chance, prove yourself contract by Stanny-boy. Guess he doesn't want to admit...

I know some will be happy about this. Personally, I've always loved Foley -- yeah, he wasn't as sharp in his later years, but he's a Chicago legend and I grew up with the guy, so it's sad for me but not surprising. Let's just hope the team does a better job at finding a replacement than they did...
