This post did not age well. 10 goals against, zero goals for in the last 5 periods.

Good for the tank, though.

I’m good with the tank!!

I’m starting to hear April 13th, Jonathan Toews tribute night.
Anyone else hearing anything about that?

Did not hear that. I assume that means he's done with the Hawks? I wonder if he'll be done with playing altogether?

Toews playing tomorrow.

Nice call.

Colby Cohen out, Darren Pang in as main TV color analyst, working with Chris Vosters.

I assume Troy Murray goes back to radio full-time and Patrick Sharp goes back to Connecticut.

I'd say yes to both.

ESPN also dumped Chelios.

Wow. I thought Pang would stay in StL.

I miss Roenick. Cohen and Vosters are terrible.

What they should have done was a 3 man thing with Eddie O and Foley or brought on somebody with one of them that year or so. Sharp has no personality and it's not like he's super fucking hot anymore either. No guy ever really cared about him so it was dumb from the beginning.

I'd like to have seen Shaw brought along more but I don't think it would have worked. I think Darling has done a good job. I'd almost welcome goofy tryouts at this point, bring dude in off the street because the people that are credentialed or broadcasty or whatever are lame af.

Chelios's? correct apostrophe or not? daughter is pretty good.

Since you asked it's Chelios' daughter.

No, it's Chelios's daughter, you only drop the s on a plural possessive.

Good decision. The ESPN studio show was awful especially compared to TNT's studio show which is fantastic. Liam McHugh has been excellent on just about everything he does. He was great on Tour de France coverage back on NBC Sports. But there was no chemistry on the ESPN show between Messier, Subban, and Chelios. They should start over with a brand new crew.

A little over a week until the draft.

Bedard said he wants to play here, which has been devastating to all the redditors hoping he'd "pull a Lindros."

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Need to get another #1 dman to go with Korchinski. Guess the next year's draft has a bunch of top 10 dmen.

Might be the guy with the 2nd 1st rd pick.

My son seems to think this trade is a big deal. I don't follow closely enough to agree with him and they've got stupid money tied up with Seth Jones.

They have to get to the cap floor, so that money doesn't matter at the moment. IF they get Hall, it's gonna be a line mate for Bedard and a possible trade chip.

This might nix a trade up in the 1st round from 19 with regards to retaining a bad contract. There was talk of talking a bad contract from Vancouver and the 11th pick for the 19th.

Hall played on the 3rd line in Boston and every attempt to move him up to play with Boston's elite talent this past season resulted in lackluster production. He's 33 and has been a 50-60 pt player the last few seasons. It's been 5 seasons since he paced for more than a point/game. He definitely is not worth the 6 M cap hit and there have been questions about his worth ethic in the past. I think the Hawks should have gotten a pick or something coming back. Not a terrible trade but nothing I'm excited about.

Was Mitchell that much of a bust, or was it just a numbers game amongst defensemen?

LOVE this trade for the Hawks. They get a solid vet who was a former #1 overall pick, a guy who plays at a very fast pace. Basically the perfect first year linemate for Bedard. And if he gets a bump in production from playing with Bedard we can unload him to a contender at the trade deadline.

100% agree! I hope they do a lot more. I would go out and sign a Ryan Reeves to protect Bedard, at the very least.
