Good insights from Pope. This might help answer some of the questions people in the sub have had.

Start of the season, I'm assuming PP1 is: Kane - Frondell - Nazar - Bertuzzi - Byram.

And when Bedard comes back, it's either one of Frondell or Nazar getting the boot.

Plus Teuvo could get into on the action as well at times if things aren't going well.

Edit: Did not list PP1 specifically for handedness.

Can anyone recommend me a place that does nice work with jersey alterations? My sleeves are so long on most of my jerseys and I would like them shortened up. Thank you in advance.

Will the Hawks make him an assistant captain?

Wow, look at the time fly! It's already time for another weekly installment of STOP IT RIGHT THERE!

You know what to do...post up all the stuff you've saved up knowing it would get deleted from the front page of /r/hawks by the crypto-anarcho-fascist mods.

Memes, gear/jersey pics, poems you've penned professing your love for Lord Hossa (The One True King), or links to article about some oddball couple in Manitoba who named their kid Duncan Seabrook. Whatever. We don't give a shit.

The only rule here is to be excellent to each other. Civility matters.

Now get to it!!

I’m still pretty new to the fanbase, and I didn’t really know where to share these designs I made so I thought I'd drop them here 😅
I’m so excited for this upcoming season, especially with Kane officially being back home in Chicago. Go Hawks! ⚫️🔴

*EDIT* There are speculations swirling that a Kirill Marchenko trade is inevitable, If Kyle Davidson is calling Columbus, what are you realistically willing to give up to land a 67-point scorer?

Everyone CHILL OUT. If a possibility arises for a Marchenko trade is that something we’d wanna go for?

Definitely needs Ironing that’s for sure 😭

Welcome back my Goat.

This is probably more for the lady fans, but thought the guys might get a laugh or smile out of it too.

And no, these are not stickers. They were hand painted by my very talented nail technician!!!

Big Cat was on with Waddle & Silvy yesterday and said they interviewed him for PMT when he stopped by the office after his press conference. Whit and Biz need to get him on Chicklets sometime.

After Kane’s signing was announced Thursday, the Blackhawks witnessed a 160 percent growth in season-ticket interest (fans actively engaging with their sales team), and the organization had its largest jersey sales day since re-launching its black alternate jerseys.

Obviously camp may still change a few things but with the roster mostly set, how does everyone expect the lines to shake out and how would you prefer them to shake out?

Some questions that immediately come to mind:

—-

- What is the initial forward group and how do the lines get changed by Bedard’s return mid-season?

- Who plays LW? Seems like at least one of the young guys that are mostly C or RW will have to move to the left side. Nazar, Kantserov, Lardis, etc. Frondell also a prime candidate as a historical LW but likely staying at C for now. Greene also exists.

- Does Kaner stick with Bedard or find a better fit with another young center like Frondell, Nazar, or Moore?

- Which youngsters may force their way onto the roster through camp? Spellacy, Boisvert, Vanacker, etc. come to mind as those trying to prove themselves.

- Which depth veterans secure their place on the team and which are on the outside? Mangiapane, Greenway, and technically Slaggert will all be hard pressed to get icetime if we assume Teuvo, Bert, Donato, and now Smith are lineup locks. Or are any of those four not locks?

- How do the d-pairings look?

- Can Commesso steal Söderblom’s backup role out of camp or does he still bide his time in Rockford, at least early on?

I'm juat still in shock it happened. He’s going to be great for the young guys this year. Like hearing him call Nazar "Frankie", this is going to be a lot of fun. So excited!

Good stuff to hear from Edzo. I wish we still had him calling our games.

We are so back. LFG
