Here’s what I’ll be focusing on this weekend:
1. Power Play – Can they find more consistency and finish?
2. Ethan Del Mastro vs. Matt Grzelcyk – How does Del Mastro measure up against an established NHL defenseman?
3. Colton Dach’s performance – consistency
4. Greene vs. Moore – Battle for last spot
5. Blashill’s system – How well are the players adapting to his structure?Thanks a lot for the kind words, really appreciate it ? You’re right, it’s been busy the last few weeks, but hockey never stops for me! I’ll definitely keep an eye on the Hawks tonight and will share my thoughts here. Big weekend for decisions ahead — should be fun to follow.
Like many of you, I’m also impatient for the site to be back online. We’re currently waiting for the migration to be completed, and once everything is running again, I’ll be ready to post new articles about the team.
In the meantime, I’ve been following all the news around the Blackhawks and reading your comments here in the forum. If you have any requests or questions, feel free to ask me directly here — I’ll do my best to provide updates during this downtime since we can’t post on the front page.
It’s a big weekend ahead for the Blackhawks with some important decisions coming. Thanks for your patience — I wish I had better answers or updates, but this situation is out of my control. Hopefully, once the migration is finished, everything will be back to normal very soon.

Thank you so much for your kind words. Maybe I stay busy, but when people like you get involved in the forum and take the time to read my articles, it pushes me to work harder. I just love watching hockey and sharing my thoughts on the game. Please know that feedback and suggestions are always welcome.
You’re right about the need for more support behind Bedard. When you play teams like the Leafs or Panthers, you have to match both of their top lines — and that makes things complicated. For me, Nazar is the key to driving the second line, and the second pairing on defense will also be a big factor.
Looking ahead, there’s a lot to be excited about this season. If Moore stays, he brings even more speed, which makes the bottom six stronger. One thing I’ll be watching this week is how Blashill manages the third and fourth lines.
Thanks again for your comment, my friend!
You’re absolutely right. What I really like is how every young prospect is working hard to earn a spot — and honestly, they’ve exceeded my expectations. That makes Blashill’s decisions complicated, but it’s a great problem for a coach to have. Big week ahead for these kids. Thanks for your comment, my friend!
Alex Vlasic is day to day with a lower-body injury and will be reevaluated in the coming days, per the team
Mr. Ricochet, you’re absolutely right about this one. I had to cover other games live, but I went back and watched it late last night — and that third period was fantastic. This is the kind of game we didn’t see much of last season, when the Hawks only managed two comeback wins in the third. If they can keep bringing that energy and excitement, fans are going to enjoy the ride a whole lot more this year.
Welcome in the HHS family (Captain)…. Pridham 1 goal last night and Behm too…. Kantserov is 4th of year…
#Blackhawks make their second wave of roster cuts, assigning Paul Ludwinski, Brett Seney, Cavan Fitzgerald, Taige Harding, Dmitry Kuzmin, Ryan Mast and Andrew Perrott to AHL’s Rockford IceHogs.
Panarin is entering the final year of his contract at over $11M. If stars like Kaprizov or McDavid ever hit the UFA market, you can bet the Rangers will be among the teams chasing them.
@boilermaker thanks, my friend. I truly believe HHS’s success with the Blackhawks coverage depends on all of you. Without this community, none of it happens. We’ve already built a great group here, and your comments and analysis make the forum better every day. I love reading what everyone brings — keep it coming, invite others, and let’s keep growing this thing together. Much appreciated.
@LAHAWK Welcome to the HHS family! Really appreciate your kind words about my articles. We’re lucky to have a great group of people here who love hockey, share their opinions, and keep the conversations going.
I’m always up for debates and different perspectives — as long as it’s done with respect, that’s how we all get better. Any feedback on my articles or ideas to improve the site are always welcome, don’t hesitate.
If there’s a topic you’d like me to cover, just drop it in the forum. I try to check in at least once a day and enjoy adding my voice to the discussions. Looking forward to your takes!
