Kane's ability to pass that puck is so special, forehand, backhanded what a talent

@johndietzdh
Loved this quote by Jon Cooper on Tyler Johnson:
“The recipe of winning, Johnny knows what it is. ... That's why he's been on teams his whole career that have won or come darn close to winning.

"Being a negative bastard on the bench is not the way to do it."

Raddysh ties it up. The Hawks should have drafted him in 2016 instead of DeBrincat. #akf

I love how some D-men and goalies still get caught in the "OMG, I'm facing Patrick Kane" frozen state, allowing him to score goals like the one he just did.

Hedman getting on the score sheet a lot this year, i know it's a regular season game but he sure looks like he's a step slower this year.

Hedman: "That so?"

Tampa has flipped the switch. Game over.

Hedman would always challenge guys at his own blue line, years past get frustrated cause he'd kill a lot of plays before they even get started, watch now guys are able to skate in on him without his great poke check at the blue line

And just keep playing Caleb Jones, he's so indecisive right now without the puck

Should they play Gus? Rather see Jones right now. Evaluation whether to offer him a contract or not.

Me to. we know what we got in Gus, see if Caleb can figure some things out there

He’s a fine #7 D, otherwise let him go.

Ouch unforced error just kill this team

2 goals against with Caleb on the ice and a really long shift

Ouch again

3 goals in 32 seconds, that’s just embarrassing.

In real hockey days fans would boo the home team playing this bad , but not these fans , they keep coming for more punishment!

All the talk of how bad Murphy is, McCabe makes Murphy look like a Norris Trophy candidate

You're right.... they're both brutal. But so was Ruuta, so was Kempney, so was TVR, on and on. See a pattern here ?

Hagel, Entwhistle both -4, Dach -3, McCabe -3, C. Jones even

It will be interesting to see the turnover this summer. There are several guys who shouldn’t be on the NHL roster.

There also is a group of players needing better coaching insofar as their development. Dach, Entwhistle have their own issues while Kurashev is going to loose a job eventually if you want aggression and not shy away from contact. On defense you have to decide if C Jones will ever be consistent. Edmonton did not have any problem letting him go. These players together comprise too many making us look inferior compared to our opponent most nights.

That damn auto correct changes words...I must edit check even when I thought i was typing carefully. On cell phones especially

New blog! Thoughts on the Blackhawks center depth for future years as Dylan Strome and Kirby Dach continue to surge and mature.

Plus, management updates, a Patrick Kane trade rumor, and summaries of the weekend Blackhawks and IceHogs games including losses to the Flyers, Lightning, and Moose.
