Really appreciate you guys and this podcast. We can’t do basic stuff - bad at connecting on passes, bad at faceoffs, little to no physicality, can’t finish on opportunities. It’s pretty broken right now. Not sure what the answer is - I think we’re gonna need to take the risk of getting the young guys together and hoping they can figure it out over time. Aside from Bert there’s very little consistency or spark coming from the vets, and how do you convince vets to get committed when we’re such a joke and this is just a pit stop for them….
The loss yesterday was not on Soderblom. He actually played decent. Unfortunately his teammates stood around and let the Rangers camp in the blue paint. Even great goalies can't stop constant screen shots. Until they teach their defense to move guys from the front of the net, it won't get better.
This rebuild looks like it is going to take awhile. We have some really good young d men. Levshanuv / Naxar cant miss , if these 2 and Korchinski hit we will be fine. If they miss we are in trouble
You said part out loud I’ve been holding off on saying. We could have Demidov; Eiserman, Augustine. All those guys we could’ve drafted. Could be huge misses for GMKD that should get him fired. But we don’t really know the answer to that for 2 years.
reichel doing well, bedard is the best player of his draft class, Allen a pleasant surprise. Vlasic a local Chicago kid is blossoming into a top pair D-man and signed long term. Nazar is learning on the fly and dominated the AHL. Korch, Kaiser getting more time in AHL and both proven they can play in NHL. Lardis is tearing up OHL. Moore playing in WJC. Levshunov is playing well in his first year in AHL. Theres talk of Hobey Baker award for Rinzel as a sophmore in College. All under 24 years old. We got plenty of capspace to add FAs. We have 2 1st round picks in 2025 draft. The future is so bright I gotta wear shades.

Talk is cheap this team is awful the G M cant keep going into the locker room that card has been played time to make some trades for picks or just dump them the Rangers have been playing bad but today they looked like a top team this is on the players not the coach !!!
Guys,if you were not candid and truthful,you would be laughed out of Chicago!Plus like Troy Murray,said the worst player in the NHL,is better than anyone in the AHL,he has said this several time!They are even worse then the Bears,and White Sox,now that’s something to hang your hat on!
Free agents have 30 teams to choose from. What’s going to make a high-quality top six player want to come here. The organization seems to have cleaned up. it is an original six team. Based on the number of nationally televised games, the NHL market is responsive to Chicago Blackhawks. But the team itself is not good and won’t be for another 2 years. Mid-level guys like Bartuzzi and Teuvo is what we can expect for now. GMKD needs to stop with short-term plugs like Martinez, Maroon and Smith. Didn’t work. Donato is 28 and has earned a contract. Kurashev has not. We have NHL ready guys like Korch, Nazar, Dach & Slaggert, maybe Lev for next year.
Bedard,generational,yeah and the moons made out of cheese!Yes he has NHL,talent,generational,sorry,quit bull shitting the fans,fans who know the game know better!

As a longtime Blackhawks fan, these were tough games to watch. Even I couldn’t finish watching.

They should trade Seth Jones
I wish. A team would have to be pretty desperate or foolish to take that contract on.
Who is gonna take the dumpster fire of Seth Jone!Who ever signed him to that contract should be tarred and feathered!
@tomfilipiak3511 it was a parting gift from Bowman

If Demidov is a star with the Habs , the pressure is on with Levshanov. I like building the team from the back out. But that kid might be great !!!!!

This team is embarrassing to watch
You,can just keep your broadcast short,just say the Black Hawks Suck,and then go have a twelve pack of SamAdams!

Trying to find a NHL comp for Nazar , can't come up with one. Maybe Johnny Gudreau

Preaching to the choir
LOL all of the goals were self inflicted? Rangers outplayed the Hawks virtually all night outside of the first five.
Bedard,generational,yeah and the moons made out of cheese!Yes he has NHL,talent,generational,sorry,quit bull shitting the fans,fans who know the game know better!
The GM needs to get actual NHL talent. Stop relying on picks that have a 50/50 chance of panning out and over paying washed up bottom 6 vets.

Horrible team. They don't care. Worst team in the NHL and it's not close. Just an absolute embarrassment.
There really is no,bright spots,on the Blackhawks,plus the Chicago sports network,is a joke,a bad joke!Ask the fans !
