    Donato will remain a Blackhawk. If the offers weren’t good and I’m assuming they weren’t, I’m happy to have him sign a 3-year extension. He’s earned it and I like having his energy and effort around the young kids.
  2. Hot Sauce
    Penguins, Sens, and Sabres have been busy.
  3. Hot Sauce
    Veleno* Not bad. Young, former 1st rounder. He’ll skate bottom 6 minutes but maybe we get something out of him.
  4. Hot Sauce
    Price to acquire him was too high, so I’m not disappointed at all.
  5. Hot Sauce
    Marchand on his way to Florida.

    I am probably in the minority here but I wasn’t keen on signing Rantanen. He is wanting Draisaitl money and that’s lunacy.

    Imagine for a moment that strikeouts are like the wise sages of the diamond. They’re not just failures. They’re lessons in disguise. As Socrates might have said if he were a baseball fan, “I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think about their batting stance.” What if strikeouts are actually our mentors? Teaching us patience, resilience, and the discipline of not swinging at every pitch thrown our way. After all, it’s not just about the runs scored, but the bonds we build in those moments of defeat, because what if strikeouts aren’t bad? What if the strikeouts are the friends we make along the way?

    Players like PCA can beat the throw to first on a feebly hit ball like that.

    Corey Patterson is 45 now. 🥲

    The best part is that they gave up twice. They came back briefly when the team started playing better and then quit on them a second time. 🤣

    Jones is neither as good or as bad as most fans think he is. He is somewhere in the grey area in between. His biggest weakness has always been his ability to defend. He doesn’t use his size effectively. Terrific skater and offensive minded defenseman… when he wants to be. His numbers with the Hawks really aren’t far off from his career norms. He was brought in to play a role he wasn’t good at. He can’t anchor a defense. In a role like Brian Campbell played for the 2010 Hawks, yea, he’s fine.
  12. Hot Sauce
    Good if his role remains as a 2nd pairing D there, but he’s going to be elevated when Ekblad leaves this summer and Panthers fans will find out that he is in fact not a 1st pairing defenseman.
  13. Hot Sauce
    Eh, yes and no. Jones’ peripherals weren’t good when the Hawks made that trade. He’s the same player he’s always been. Terrific physical tools and a lot of unrealized potential. The best hockey he played here was in an attempt to get traded. If Florida thinks they can get more out of him then God bless them. I’m thrilled he’s gone.
  14. Hot Sauce
    From what I’ve seen a lot of Panthers fans are asking the same question.
  15. Hot Sauce
    41 saves for Spencer Knight in his Blackhawks debut! 👏
  16. Hot Sauce
    Seeing Knight in the crease tonight has me seriously excited about next season. Seems to have given the team a shot in the arm too.
  17. Hot Sauce
    Corey Patterson lol
  18. Hot Sauce
    Bad in terms of the actual game of baseball? Not in every situation. Bad in terms of watchability and fan enjoyment? Absolutely.
  19. Hot Sauce
    No prospect given up, no bad contract coming back, picked up a young talented goaltender, and a 1st round pick, only retained 25%. This was a grand slam.
  20. Hot Sauce
    Build the Kyle from Chicago statue now!
  21. Hot Sauce
    Somebody come get their dad.
  22. Hot Sauce
    Y’all owe us one for the Panarin deal.
  23. Hot Sauce
    Lance Johnson
  24. Hot Sauce
    The article identified an issue and failed to suggest any solutions.

    A soccer ball costs the same as a basketball and black Americans aren’t playing soccer either. Socioeconomic factors and accessibility certainly factor in, but you are severely downplaying how much personal identity plays a role in interest. It’s human nature for a kid to gravitate toward a sport where he/she sees themselves represented in. The easiest non-sport example of this is in the music industry where socioeconomics and accessibility don’t matter, yet you see kids drawn to a genre that they feel represented in. Kids in the Dominican play baseball with sticks and use egg cartons as gloves. They don’t have access to travel ball leagues. They play because they see people who look like them on TV. Professional athletes have talked about being inspired to play a sport because they saw someone who looked like them on TV. The best example of this is the popularity of tennis among black females in the post-Williams era.
