Blackhawks need to trade for a legit top six NHL center before Bedard’s frustration level gets too high.
I really thought Frondells team would advance, on the flip side, a bit selfish but he’s going to look great in a Blackhawks sweater. Boisvert and now Frondell come on down and make your marks.
What a pass by Greene, the more i watch Greene the more i think he and Teravainen are very similar players
I don’t know who 57 is, but 8 is only a place holder same with Mikheylev.
You know me Wiz I’m all for let it all play out, we don’t know what we have in forwards yet but just the few we have at the NHL level are playing great relatively speaking.
This team is going to be really good really soon, trade or no trade we are just seeing the seedlings sprouting and there’s a lot to like in how they play as a team right now.
It was infuriating with 4:11 that the refs don’t “get” the punch Middleton throws (with his glove on) Donato, as goon McCarron is already engaging him.
There needs to be a suspension.
Young rearguards with fluidity is the teams strength, and keystone Conner up front.
If the Hawks do draft a defender in 2026 Draft, Vlasic & Crevier start realizing that puts one or both of them in a get-better or get traded situation,
A backlog of defenseman that can continue excelling start to become the type of trade assests that secure a young forward upgrade that physically adds to the frontlines.
I seriously doubt they are shaking up the young backline and pick(s) for Matt Knies at this juncture.
There could be a logjam when 4 new youngsters introduce themselves to the league.
But they need another hit along the dominating score.
Is he in the system? Here already? Unsigned?, or are the smallish 57 and 8 secure in their pay checks b/c there are no replacements yet?
Nice game by the Blackhawks tonight, finally beat the Wild.
The one glaring weakness is scoring, defense is great, killing the 5 on 3 outstanding. Was that really a trip?
The scoring will come with the kids coming, exciting times.
There is a rumor out there that the Blackhawks are interested in Knies but the price tag is to high.
I’m still of the belief of, if you accumulate more talent up and down your line up who are willing to engage defensively like Lardis unlike Reichel, you don’t need to target a specific player.
We have to expect before or after the additions of Frondell, Vanacker, A J Spellacy, Pridham, Kantserov, Boisvert are in the line-up, a trade for a Brady Thachuk has to accelerate things.
I expect to see a Hawk offer of Vlasic, a unprotected number 1, and an established vet (off the current roster), and a young rostered kid.
I refuse to praise the great Arty stretch pass and prefer to use it to cancel out yet another time when he is in the slot and HAS to SHOOT on net and doesn’t.
Quint had the Hawks sucking for air in the OT.
I am certainly hoping Spence plays tomorrow….
The way i understand it, 1 they are working on Arty’s shot last night i saw an instance where Arty tried to force it, blocked, and he hustled back to get the puck.
The pass to Bedard with a couple of minutes left was a thing of beauty, I’ve said this before, why allow him develop bad habits in a lesser league if he can physically handle the NHL.
Has he had some bad games or bad plays absolutely, but they all do and keep in mind he’s only played 80 NHL games so far and on the flip side kids don’t get many calls, LVGK game there was a blatant hold on Arty no call which led to turnover??? This happens to often to the kids on defense. In the long run it will make them better tougher players but until then….
Vlasic 245 GP
Kaiser 160 GP
Crevier 120 GP
Arty 80 GP
Rinzel 48 GP
Del Mastro 32 GP
………685 GPConnor Murphy 812 GP
And we are a better team than we’ve been for the past 3 years.
Didn’t forget Vanacker, I’m just excited they signed Boisvert, and KD usually plays them with the big club the year they come out of college so it’ll be exciting to see a fresh new face on the ice with potential.
We keep forgetting about Vanacker. There are a couple of other guys coming up, too. I don’t know if anyone noticed Blashill’s reaction to Arty. Whenever he is pressured, he gives up the puck. Knight had to make a save because Arty lost the puck and you could see Blashill’s frustration. He should have been sent to Rockford at the beginning of the season. And why doesn’t he ever shoot the puck? I know I sound like a broken record, but he isn’t ready for the Not Here Long league. Why is it that NHL refs ignore Bedard constantly getting mugged? Time to fire every idiot at the office of player safety. They are a joke. And to put Sarro’s in charge? The man was a goon!!!!!
