That was reminiscent of Trent Yawney era Blackhawks hockey.

Yeah, I actually tuned in just in time for the start of the 3rd period. Hawks like to kick me when I'm down.

I got home from practice just in time to see the tying goal and then the go ahead

Blackhawks have reverted back to tank mode.

As least it's no longer "Gavin McKenna or bust" draft.

At least this time it’s unintentional

What’s the record for goals disallowed over the span of a week? 😂

It's disappointing that Nazar is not returning to this game. Stitch up your boo boo and get back out there. You're a hockey player!

I feel like this is a "Miracle" reference.

And Nazar is out for 4 weeks. And Blashill does not seem interested in playing Lardis more time. Blah. Season is officially off the rails.

My apologies, Frank. I didn't realize your jaw was broken. 😢

Hopefully not as badly as Jake Paul's.

Waiting for the PP to end and then pulling your goalie without having possession is some real “tanking” garbage. 

[Soul]

Brutal.

From playoff hopeful to best odds at the top pick in the draft in one month. What a disaster. McKenna is no longer the presumptive first pick. Maybe they end up with another Swede with Ivar Stenberg

I still favor McKenna. The upside is that the Hawks could potentially pick #2 and still land him, though I feel like he's still the first name called on draft day despite Stenberg making things interesting.

Probably done following the Hawks until Bedard comes back. God what a pathetic showing against the AARP Penguins.

Bedard was on the ice today.

USA has significantly closed the gap on Canada since they fell a goal short at the Vancouver games. I have never felt that the gold was more within reach than I do now.

How can the worst team in the league only be a -8 almost half way through the season, that seems crazy to me.

3 game win streak 
Bert with the hatty. I just now noticed that Winnipeg is the bottom team in the league right now. Vancouver and the next two with Toronto also at the bottom in Atlantic.

The entire NHL is very mediocre right now, with 27 teams between 41 and 53 points. The top 3 in the Central, though, are well out in front of everyone else. Mostly because there aren't really any terrible teams right now, even the Hawks are competitive at this point.
