ParticipantWhere do I send site improvement suggestions?
There’s a “Contact Us” link at the bottom of the home page.

Participanti bookmarked it the first time. that’s excellent info to have.
And here is something similar, but for college games only.

ParticipantThat 506 sports site is updated every Wednesday or Thursday so bookmark it and check it out weekly.

Participanti found him waiting for more hawks fans to show up and it was sad so i invited him to the habs thread to wait with us until they get here.
I didn’t see the invitation, but thanks for the thought. This sight needs a DM option.
Anyway things are picking up on the Blackhawks forum so I’m there most of the time.

ParticipantLooking forward to the day 2 practice report, Frenchy. Nice for us fans to begin seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

ParticipantGuys like Reichel and Dach better stay healthy and up their game this season or their spots in the lineup will be taken by some of these new guys.

ParticipantThis site still has some cracks in it, posted a reply and it disappeared
I, too, have had comments disappear when I posted in the comments section that is on the same page as Frenchy’s blogs. These are the comments with the time delay that need some sort of moderator approval.
The title of Frenchy’s daily blogs also appear in the Blackhawks forum and comments are allowed there. I haven’t commented that way so I don’t know if the disappearing act occurs. I am going to start adding my posts to Frenchy’s articles there in the forum section to see what happens. An added benefit is there is no time delay. Your thoughts are posted immediately so it better serves a conversation among us.
Seems kind of dumb to read the blog on one page and then go to another page to comment, but it is what it is.EDIT – Make sure you are logged in on the FORUM page. Go to FORUM, CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS, select the title of Frenchy’s blog. The first comment is from Frenchy with a link to his blog, click on the link, read the blog, then the comments section at the end of the blog is in the forum type layout. Just add your comment via hitting reply or quote if applicable. Then the comment is posted immediately.
I also know that when a comment is added it goes to Frenchy via e-mail. He does a good job of responding to each comment, but his replies aren’t addressed so you have to read between the lines to figure out to whom he is responding. (If I may suggest maybe he can add for example @boilermaker, @metalhead, @assman22, etc. at the beginning of each of his responses.) Not blaming Frenchy for the quirks in the system, but maybe he deletes his incoming e-mail after responding and then our posts disappear here too?

ParticipantThis week’s football schedule. NFL regional broadcast areas, NCAA schedule and where to find the games, and announcing crews.

ParticipantBamford’s comments on Wednesday’s practice.

ParticipantI don’t think we need to figure out anything more on Spencer Knight except for him finally to get a real dose of NHL games under his belts.
The hop is that he starts to deliver as a better puck saver and that the kids feed off that in games.
Can he help keep the team in games, enabling the young core to play strong infront of his and WIN more?
I think big Sam may be on track towards a rookie of the year nomination.
Will Arty start to see where to position himself in his end? Will he restain himself to seeing the simple over the jump up urges his quick feet have to save the day?
Will enough youngsters take steps that elevate themselve in NHL pro status and stick?
I don’t think any of the starved for success fanbase will be opposed to seeing any and all of Rockford rotating in and out.
We don’t want regualt roles handed out before the second wave of prospects arrives, and then the third, and then the fourth in this years 2026 deep class, where essntially the Balckhawks can start selecting developmental players who will be on track to fill and replace the draft picks that have failed to show NHL muster.Welcome Wiz. If you are not aware there is a forum for general discussion. Here’s a link. Stop by and add your expertise. A lot of the old regulars are there.

Participantre: Laurent Brossoit
Other than idle speculation about trading him, has anyone read *any actual info*
about his health status going into training camp?This info has been locked down forever, it seems.
Does Brossoit have red hair? Is he someone’s step-child? The Hawks have had him hidden in the basement since he got injured. Talk about keeping a tight lid on things.
Best case scenario is he starts the season healthy, gets a few games in and does decently (Hawks would have to keep all three goalies on the roster), and someone else’s goalie or backup wets the bed or gets injured making him trade fodder. Chances of all three happening are slim and none.

ParticipantOk dreamers, time to start the countdown to July 1st:
Frank Seravalli @frank_seravalli 3h
Sources say #mnwild superstar Kirill Kaprizov’s camp turned down an extension offer believed to be 8-years, $128 million
in a meeting on Tuesday in Minnesota that would have made him the highest-paid player in #NHL history in both AAV ($16 million) and total dollars.I wouldn’t get my hopes up that he’ll wind up in Chicago.
1) The Wild won’t let him walk for nothing. Chicago or whomever will have to pay an arm and both legs in any trade deal. Probably have to include 2 or 3 of our upcoming studs plus some draft picks.
2) Maybe he just wants a shorter term contract, maybe 3 x 16M, so he can sign for 3 x 19M, then 3 x 22M down the road. Of course Guerin would like the cost certainty of 8 x 16M. It seems an awful lot now, but won’t be in 4-5 years.Here’s a Minnesota writer’s viewpoint.

ParticipantCan we get back to hockey while you old farts try to figure out how to use this forum correctly? Lol it’s like 2 pages of uhhh I don’t know what I’m doing uhhh…hahahaha
Instead of bitching about past comments, why don’t you write about a topic you want to discuss?
boilermaker
ParticipantSeems to be happening to me. Perhaps there’s a lag?
See Metalhead post on page 7.
No lag on this forum, but a lag when posting on Frenchy’s articles.

ParticipantI don’t think I ever posted this here. Maybe I did on the other site. I came across this e-book that details X’s and O’s used by teams throughout the league. Cost is $32, but may be worth it to those of you who are really into the tactics or coach youngsters. There’s an illustrative example in the link.
