Did Toews have COVID? Never saw that reported.

Everything is Covid.

Thank you for confirming.

Ah so a guy that takes incredibly good care of himself got his a** kicked by COVID. Bet some posters will still think COVID isn't a big deal.

I get it is a personal choice to get vaccinated. If you don't chose to you will face the consequences, i.e. not allowed places or potentially being fired from your job, etc.

Just like there are consequences for deciding to drive drunk or using recreational drugs or not paying your taxes. It is your choice but there are consequences (your employer can fire you for anyone of those things).

A healthy and fully rested Toews changes this teams makeup. Good two-way center depth makes everything better. The wingers play better. The overall team defense is better.

This squad is much better than last years team (even if certain posters state otherwise).

Blackhawks will announced the training camp roster tomorrow and it will have a whopping 63 players:

38 forwards
18 defensemen
7 goalies

The current roster published on the team's website has 26 forwards, 13 defensemen, and 5 goalies.

No surprises as the additional players added are IceHogs and recent draft picks.

Borgstrom will be wearing #13.

Typo for Wilkie who wears #57. Teply wears #53.

Brian Campbell sighting behind Hawks bench at the prospects' games. Is he official coaching staff for Rockford, now, or just in player development? (he's not on the Hogs website, hence the question)

OK, never mind - I see Campbell now on the Hawks side in player development

Reichel is a chatty Kathy

love the accent. have to call him the terminator if he comes out of the gate strong!

In the "I just don't get why you don't get it" department.

Oiler GM Kenny Holland announced that one of his players is unvaccinated and will miss 30 games (and $) because of it.

The league minimum salary is not hay...you'll have that one year salary invested?

I am not so sure know the fortunate position I am in as a pro athlete and big dollars coming my way for a short time, that I hesitate at complying.

I was about to make up some raunchy Elbows action and then was gonna say, 'I would let Elbows____(action verb)_________ to get paid that much.", but he probably has the $ to make me his pin cushion.

Maybe that player thinks taking the jab could be more dangerous to his health.. It’s
not always about money for some people. You do remember Hammer for giving the Hawks a discount on his contract!

I think Hammer gave the Hawks a discount because he felt bad after screwing them over by signing San Jose's offer sheet.

But your point still stands. It's not always about the money.
