At the risk of being the guy who reads too much into tone or body language, I don't have access to CHSN and haven't really heard him speak before.  Is he always this...dull?  Otherwise he sounds pretty checked out.  

Hah. This was about as upbeat and comfortable speaking as I’ve ever seen him 

 

I think “checked out” is an odd descriptor 

[Rex Buckingham]

I think hockey players as a general rule don't show a lot of personality in interviews. I know Toews certainly wouldn't ever have been described as Mr. Charisma

[bddavidson]

Fair enough.  Hand up I don't think I've ever heard him speak, which is why I asked.  

Checked out was unfair, I agree.

Kevin Korchinski has been called up. Sam Rinzel and Oliver Moore’s collegiate season is over and they should be signing entry level deals soon.

I think Rinzel signs, but there is still plenty of buzz of Moore returning to school.

I’m excited to see what Rinzel has. 

[Hot Sauce]

Hat trick for Donato!

Rinzel and Moore have signed matching 3-year entry level deals. I have had high hopes for Rinzel in particular since he was drafted.

Well okay then. I was expecting Moore to return to school but pleasantly surprised to see him signed.

Lots of competition for spots next season. They won’t be good. But they will be young.

And hopefully fun to watch.

Rinzel and Moore will debut today.

[jersey cubs fan]

Following a relatively positive debut from the well known first round picks, the Blackhawks also signed Taige Harding, a 2021 3rd rounder who just finished senior season at Providence.  Originally from Glasgow, he will be going to AHL and most likely will not be much more than an occasional call up if he ever makes NHL. But he’s another big boy.

Bedard just terrible tonight, commits the penalty that leads to Ovechkin tying Gretzky.  At least the Blackhawks didn’t give a up a hat trick to let him take the all time lead.  Hard not to be discouraged by Bedard’ regression this season. I know he wasn’t put in a position to succeed very often, surrounded by garbage, a lost season.                        Hockey experts can we expect signs of improvement next season?  Not necessarily playoff contenders but competitive and trending towards a playoff team.

Not encouraged?

That is, some may see Bertuzzi completely horsefeathers up the play.  Not realizing Bedard created what should have been a quality scoring chance for a competent linemate.

Blackhawks going all 17 seconds on the bruins with 3 goals in a minute and a half to take a 4-1 lead in third

Aiden Thompson signs 2 yr ELC.

Ryan Greene signed and will debut on Monday in Montreal. There’s going to be a lot of youth on display for both teams. 
 

fun game last night with a shootout loss against best team in the west. Maroon and Martinez both played final nhl games and will not travel

Great careers. Six Stanley Cups between them. Maroon got his first with his hometown team.

Like losing to the Blackhawks? 

[Derwood]

I appreciate the win, but couldn't have won in regulation?
