<p class=”userway-s15-active” data-userway-s15-styled=”true” style=”font-family: UDF, serif !important; transition: all;”>I read today Larry Brooks NYC hockey writer died at 75. I loved beating the pants off of him during mock draft season.
I am also 75.Should I start thinking about my mortality?<p class=”userway-s15-active” data-userway-s15-styled=”true” style=”font-family: UDF, serif !important; transition: all;”>(Or as Steve from Glencoe said to me a week ago, “You want to wait until you’re 80 when the Blackhawk team actually is good?)
<p class=”userway-s15-active” data-userway-s15-styled=”true” style=”font-family: UDF, serif !important; transition: all;”>I just drove up to Chicago from the funeral of a dear friend and fellow Math teacher. We were assigned to the same school in 1972. We bought highly expensive plane tickets when we finally knew the date of the funeral, but last Friday the airline could guarantee the King wouldn’t cancel the flight, son we got in the car and drove up for the funeral this last snowy Monday.
Currently South of Atlanta on my way back to St. Petersburg, FL.<p class=”userway-s15-active” data-userway-s15-styled=”true” style=”font-family: UDF, serif !important; transition: all;”>Even though the outcome was one HAWK point, there was plenty of hitting by the Hawks and plenty of continuing upside.
Although I am the guy who still wants to win one more lottery, i thing there will soon reach a high water mark in the standings and then level of in one of the 18 slots the teams not going to Lord Stanley’s Cup slot into…I think about my immortality every time I pay the life insurance premium.
Articles out there on Chicago moving Crevier. If we do we won’t just give him away. I think Murphy is more likely to be moved. I wonder how many scouts are watching Rockford games?
<p class=”userway-s15-active” data-userway-s15-styled=”true” style=”font-family: UDF, serif !important; transition: all;”>We were pretty lucky to get a point out of that one. Knight continues to be the team MVP. As of right now, we have the highest SV% in the NHL, second best shooting% and you have to think that will course correct a bit more. NJ is just a deeper and more skilled overall team at this point.
I think we have some young guys who are simply above average shooters. Hopefully it holds.
<p class=”userway-s15-active” data-userway-s15-styled=”true” style=”font-family: UDF, serif !important; transition: all;”>I was hoping they would extend Mik but then Frenchy reminded me he’s 32 years old. Really enjoy his brand of hockey but i got a feeling if things continue the way they are we will hold on to him till the end of the season unless someone actually offers a 2027 1st round pick which i doubt.
<p class=”userway-s15-active” data-userway-s15-styled=”true” style=”font-family: UDF, serif !important; transition: all;”>I think Dickinson is traded by the dead line.
He’s still got jump. I wonder if 2x$3.5 would get it done?
<p class=”userway-s15-active” data-userway-s15-styled=”true” style=”font-family: UDF, serif !important; transition: all;”>I just gotta say i think my wish is coming true, i think KD is one of the few insightful hockey minds who are running a NHL organization.
<p class=”userway-s15-active” data-userway-s15-styled=”true” style=”font-family: UDF, serif !important; transition: all;”>I can’t believe how many of his draft picks are playing in the NHL and playing well. I said last season the trade for Knight and a 1st rounder for Jones made him GM of the year in my eyes.
<p class=”userway-s15-active” data-userway-s15-styled=”true” style=”font-family: UDF, serif !important; transition: all;”>I didn’t know what to expect from Blashill but what i did know i really liked the brand of hockey the lightning played and I’m grateful that he’s been able to bring that brand to Chicago, it’s nice to see

a team skate with a purpose.
Steve from Glencoe thinks we need more vets…
<p class=”userway-s15-active” data-userway-s15-styled=”true” style=”font-family: UDF, serif !important; transition: all;”>Bedard your new points leader in the NHL.
The bridge deal is getting higher and longer. That’s a good thing.
Was a fun game this afternoon. Didn’t see the 1st period, but the Hawks were firing on all cylinders in the 2nd and third. The PP and PK were on fire. Same with Soderblom. Had a good save on his brother and a 10 bell on Larkin with a toe save.
A friend was asking about Lev. Thinks he may end up a Calder finalist. Still early, but he is looking good and putting up points.
If Larkin elevates that puck at all it’s an easy goal. I think he thought it was a done deal.

<p class=”userway-s15-active” data-userway-s15-styled=”true” style=”font-family: UDF, serif !important; transition: all;”>Thanks
<p class=”userway-s15-active” data-userway-s15-styled=”true” style=”font-family: UDF, serif !important; transition: all;”>Great game for the Blackhawks
Yes, it’s sometimes difficult to comment but they are appreciated.
<p class=”userway-s15-active” data-userway-s15-styled=”true” style=”font-family: UDF, serif !important; transition: all;”>Told-you-so Tab at BN will tell you he loves Slaggert if you hate him and he hates him if you love him.
Where have you been?
When comparing this year to last year, you’re still comparing at this time to Richardson’s defensive scheme.
The writing was on the wall with Reichel. If he couldn’t figure out KD had a type in drafting guys who competed defensively that’s on Reichel.
I am 100% for developing and giving your prospects chances, but if that player doesn’t have that inner dog in him it’s always best to cut ties with them.
Reichel never showed any game, either last season or this season. He obviously didn’t show much in practice either. If he thought he was cutting it he was way off. I don’t think we’re talking about Patrick Sharp going from Philly to Chicago. More like Alex Nylander.
