ParticipantAfter the first period, they looked like a real hockey team. Obviously not the best, but lots of kids trying to get their footing in a reg season game. I thought most got better as the game went along.
Didn’t work last season. Can’t believe he’s still on this roster. Flip him with another guy elsewhere that also needs a change-of-scenery and let’s go. Shit or get off the pot.
Guessing you are talking about Dots post about Reichel?
He’s not in the way at all. He’s literally an extra. You don’t want one of the other kids sitting if they are up on the big squad. He’s the Crevier of the forwards. Are you going to force whatever guy you get back in trade into the lineup? What does that accomplish if he has the same issues as Reichel?
If someone offers something that KD wants for Reichel, he’ll get moved.

ParticipantSorry Frenchy. Looks like Peg signed your UFA hopeful for the Hawks. Kyle Connor signed 8 years/$12 mil AAV. Good for him and well deserved.

ParticipantDon’t know if it will help but i do like this approach of sitting Reichel. We tried to trade you but no one wanted you and we aren’t going to waive you so if you want to play….

ParticipantHey everyone,
First off, I want to apologize for not setting up the recent Game Day Threads — that’s on me. You guys were absolutely right about keeping things cleaner and more organized for each game discussion.
Starting now, I’ll make sure to create a dedicated Blackhawks Game Day Thread (GDT) roughly 12 hours before puck drop. Each one will include lineups, key storylines, stats, and updates, so we can keep everything — from pregame thoughts to postgame reactions — all in one place.
It’ll help us follow the team’s progress through the season and make it easier to look back at how things evolved game by game.
Thanks for the reminder and for keeping the conversations rolling — really appreciate the passion and the consistency from everyone here.

ParticipantI always remember Knight playing low going back to The Program but he seems to have been influenced by watching Bob for 3 yrs. Kid plays lower than he did and as we watch today you can see similarities in the two…. Not only is Knight a blue chipper he’s had the great fortune to be Bob’s #2 for a few yrs.
He’ll be tested and I hope he shows well vs the organIzation that took him 14th-ish overall. I’d think a big first game of the season as an NHL #1 would give the kid a boost. Hopefully the structure holds up enough vs a team that’ll slaughter an undisciplined club.

ParticipantSpeaking of going into the offseason and working on improving their first step explosion, last yr Dach came back with the most improved explosion in his feet of any Hawk I can even remember. Kid still disappeared for long stretches, even in the AHL, but he looks a bit different. He hasn’t disappeared so far this yr……. Maybe a switch has gone off and if it did this kid has some quick feet, is a big dude and he’s willing…. Expect he’ll be busy today vs a nasty Florida club.
Not sure I ever saw him even this far developed.
Thought Game 1 Foligno may have hit a wall. He was nowhere to be seen and when you saw him he was far back of the play. His next 2 games he looked like he always did. Looks like he was just getting his reps in like he’s done for 15 or so preseasons.

ParticipantMaybe see how it goes.
makes sense 👍
A lot of posters/lurkers probably never leave this main thread anyway.
