I can remember at least a half dozen home playoff games in the grass field era. I was at one, when they beat Seattle in the snow. It was snowing.

2 points that’s nice

No, it gets worse and worse every season the more it’s used and as the weather worsens.

So the big takeaway from Davidsons press conference is that Marc Eaton will embed with the staff as a defensive coach. And Blashill is free to keep doing what he’s going with all the bizarre roster decisions. And Byram is going to the Kyler Gordon method of injury rehab

The Spencer Knight quotes in Ben Pope’s article reads like a goalie that is rightfully incredibly pissed off at his inept teammates and the front office for putting this roster in front of him

Crevier plus Smits or Carels or Reid would have this defense in a much better position currently and in the future. But they were never going to draft a D there. The problem is if you don’t allow Davidson to make a trade he can’t be in the job. A president of hockey Ops is the obvious intermediary step. But Eddie O isn’t going to make Kyle better at handling his assets. He’s had a plethora of picks and treats them like spare change. They have 8 forwards with no future on the team on the roster and at least 3 D that won’t get another contract, but maybe 5. Vlasic is becoming a lost cause as well and Rinzel should be in Rockford. Coaching is a concern but it all comes down to roster construction and the lack of quality pieces plus too many guys making back but doing nothing.

So the assumption has been the Hawks own pick is off the table as a likely high lottery pick, but the Edmonton and Florida picks will be back of the first round. Edmonton is on pace to be a 28-32 type pick, essentially a second rounder. But Florida is borderline playoff team. Currently on the outside looking in. You can’t count on them to miss the playoffs again but they are old and you never know. Then throw in Vancouver’s 2nd round pick (likely 33) and their own (likely no lower than 38, and they are set up for a new decision maker to have an impactful first draft. curious if Wirtz has limited Davidsons ability to trade away these picks. Kyle completely blundered the 4th overall trade for a ghost defenseman in a desperate attempt to get better quicker and I could see him attempting a similar move this winter. Probably not their own pick but the next four picks they own that will be top 38 next summer are likely on the table.

The Blackhawks suck but so does Philly with a points percentage under 400. they should make a trade to mix things up San Jose only has .425, 6th worst in league. Thanksgiving is fast approaching and you have your veteran teams that think they shouldn’t rebuild, Detroit. Pittsburgh, LA, Toronto in the bottom 10. You have your rebuilding teams that think they should be better in Chicago, San Jose and Philly. Then you have it just started Vancouver. Then Calgary and Columbus as classic mushy middle teams that don’t have an identity.

My guess is they didn’t want a 5th round pick for him and decided to hold their ground to prove they can’t just be taken advantage of.

It absolutely sucks that Teuvo and Mangiapane are in top 6 roles. A decent team has guys better than Bertuzzi in that role, too. Bedard and Kantserov are cooking, but the rest of this forward group is a mess. Frondell and Nazar are being wasted Roman Kantserov — Connor Bedard — Tyler Bertuzzi Andrew Mangiapane — Anton Frondell — Teuvo Teräväinen Oliver Moore — Frank Nazar — Ryan Donato Cole Smith — Ryan Greene — Jordan Greenway

Couldn’t come at a better time. Need some guys to get healthy.

Yes, giving them an opportunity to fill a hole they were never intending to fill. They acquired a temporary fix and drafted a long term replacement. Not much more they could do there.
