It’s an interesting concept, from what i understand they practiced yesterday and with the lay off it seems like they are more concerned on instilling consistent habits in the players then being concerned about their energy level for games.
It makes a lot of sense to me why some games it looks like they have no energy
If the way we were winning was unsustainable in the beginning of the season then logic would say we need more talent, 3 ways of getting more talent is FA, trade or draft closer to 1st instead of 31st? At least they are guaranteed one avenue of getting better.
Saying tanking is the only way ignored reality. The Hawks didn’t win those Cups because they lost on purpose, they won because they drafted and developed players outside the top of the draft, and had competent management. Tons of teams tanked just as hard and are still irrelevant. Tanking gets you picks, it doesn’t build a dynasty. Development does.
If tanking worked like people claim, the Hawks wouldn’t be the exception_every bottom feeder would be a contender. High picks
Didn’t win those Cups, drafting, development, and smart trades did. Losing on purpose isn’t a strategy, it’s an excuse.If tanking were the only way, every rebuilding team would eventually contend. The NHL has shown over and over that development and scouting beat draft position
Tanking is what bad organizations hide behind. The Hawks built a dynasty because they were elite at development, not because they were elite at losing.
Bedard isn’t a rebuild, he is an opportunity. Tanking got Chicago a player, not a team. Until they show they can draft, develop, and build depth like the old Hawks did, “tanking works” is just a cope.
Nope I’m saying if you are willing to commit to a rebuild and accumulate many high end picks and develop them, which they are doing right now, is the best way to do a rebuild.
To say the 2000s the Blackhawks were good at developing players who you crapping. They were so disorganized, so what you are saying is you can develop Hall of fame players like Kane, Toews, Keith, Seabrook? Sorry i disagree.
If we are the worst team in the league next year i will begin to agree about KD, but all along i said this is going to take 4 to 5 years.
If I’m right all these other teams that you guys love because i guess they are building their teams the right way whatever that means, they will begin to pass talent wise, which will turn into wins.

Thanks coach i appreciate all the information you keep providing. Good stuff keep it coming.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you and yours as well, that goes for everyone else here.
I’m bummed that Bedard and Nazar are hurt being at the Philly game you can see how that offense is struggling to generate anything.
The silver lining is we are in line for another top 5 prospect. I’ll just repeat what i said before, watching the Red Sox, Cubs, Oklahoma City Thunder, the Bears to a degree, not many have the stomach for this but this really is the best for the future of the franchise no matter how much the fans hate it.
SFG you really are all about instant gratification.
They went being in another gm because he would destroy everything KD built then we’d be looking at another 5 to 10 years before we saw the playoffs.
Yea coach its been a bad stretch with Bedard injured, now Nazar.
Everyone needs to just keep doing their job, playing on the right side of the puck and through the opponent.
Just keep reinforcing those good habits throughout the team. Back to basics, back to stacking one good shift after another.
Thank you for addressing the back up goalie who has zero confidence right now.
Brossoit will soon be brought up to the big squad if he’s not claimed off waivers.
I’ve said before not here but another blog, 4 years of drafting in the top 5 is what you want in a rebuild, glad they have had a taste of winning and what it takes to win but my other theory is when you’re a pretender you hurt your own rebuild.
For now just keep playing the kids that are playing the right way and build up that valuable NHL experience.
Next season or by seasons end we will welcome the additions of Kantserov and Frondell, maybe even Boisvert… and we’ll see what deal KD makes to bring an impact player over.
