4 posts in 7 days – where’d everyone go?!
And this with the best blogger hockey mind we’ve had since Al Camiglia. Reason would have it since it’s not the blogger or a toxic board that keeps people away that it’s something else…… Speaking for myself you can only have so many posts disappear and in my case a 4-5 paragraph post I held off making for a couple months get disappeared soured me bad enough to stop contributing.
You can only take so much of the dial up speed, difficult to even find and take multiple clicks at dial up speed to find Frenchy’s posts, post after post disappearing, the site going dark for a few days at a time to chase even patient posters away. …… A damn shame, really. The owner of the site is on a shoe string budget and he got/gets what he paid for. .. I ran and paid for a place like this for 14 yrs so when he says you can’t have private messaging I know that ain’t true. Spend the 25 bucks more for that feature. Dial up speed? Pay the 75 bucks for better processing. Don’t wanna go dark for a week? Hire a webmaster not your 14 yr old wiz nephew. .. Been there, man. Unfortunately, free or cheap software or treating a site like a hobby doesn’t work.
As for me I’m waiting for the day Frenchy lands in a proper environment he deserves. When that day comes I hope it’s the Hawks he blogs about. I see he likes and knows the Habs well and am assuming he is a French Canadian. A natural for a Habs blogger.
Can’t say it enough, this guy is a scout and conveys thought as a scout. You read him for even just a couple months blog about what you’re watching you will have a much better hockey mind weather you’re an expert or novice……. As for me when this post dissapears it’ll be another 6 months before I post. If HH is still solvent.

Was about to write the same. Especially where’s Boilermaker?
Rozy’s injury ended his earning career, and I love him for the sport.
On the old fan boards we were on, I never got too down on most of the skaters, but I remember that anti-Duncan Keith “Hawk fans” who said he was usually hopeless as a point guy, and loads about his weak shot, so I gotta just think positives towards the game it’s fans.

The man, the myth, the legend, the one and only.
If we can finish with the same amount of 2pt wins as losses, letting the 1pt losses fall wherever, it will be a highly successful season.
IF Charlie Coyle and Boone Jenner are available for picks, I say the Hawks should buy into eiither as both can add some crunch to the lines, and round out where they can upgrade subtractions.
This 2026 draft may lack a load of marquee names ready for prime time, but the class has an abundance of players who are on the upturn in their development.
There will be teams jockeying to get in the mid first and the second, even the third.
What a crap game. They looked completely dysfunctional. They had better wake up, or they will find themselves at the bottom of the ocean, and I am sure Bedard won’t be happy. Calgary’s goalie stood on his head a few times but faced very little pressure for most of the game. I bet Blashill didn’t light a cigar after the game. He might have eaten one.
Rozy had excellent hockey sense with soft hands, excellent
3-wheeled shopping cart Rozy?!
I thought the Blackhawks went into the Edmonton game with a good game plan, and were able to match up well against their top line variations of their top twosome, use their team speed to play well defensively. There were hopes of a Lardis coming out party ,while Ollie blabs mike-up, we saw some top relentless action from Slaggert,Kaiser, and more superb Knightly armor, but the mediocre part of this line-up is having a mid line-up that are all short a tool that aids the team’s attack. The slack at lighting the light does show there again weren’t enough finishers, to the point where Nickie Lardis is your main gun?
I doubt some surprise veteran sniper is on the market, or how interested anyone in-house is for that type of solution this season, but, after you watch a match where the team’s roster weaknesses are exposed, I think they may have to have start pre-selling the notion that they planned for later public releases, like
1) Connor Bedard’s addition to the Olympics, with the Wilson knee-ankle injury?2) Foligno will be officially added to the coaching staff.
3) Which of the players with ending contracts MAY be interested in a trade deal where they play for the Silver Cup?
4) That Arty is working up confidence about his shot.
5) Using Vlasic and Crevier and the Oiler’s #1 line will continue.
Korchinski and a 2nd rounder for Michkov?
