    How about those Hawks?!?  Fell asleep on the couch watching it last night....these 930pm starts are brutal.  Would be nice to close them out tomorrow.

    So fun to be able to watch hockey, even with a weirdo season.
    Hawks have fared better than I expected.  Their powerplay is still atrocious.  So much standing around.
    Hope they can keep it up.

    Yikes.  6 games and they still haven't had a lead yet.  Not sure what else Wirtz needs to see to get rid of Bowman and Colliton.

    I've only been able to watch 2 games so far.  There is absolutely no cohesiveness in their play.  Coming into the season, I actually thought there might be a chance that these guys could play and have a decent year (not playoffs or anything).  
    To me, this all comes down to coaching.  There is just something that is really....off.

    But it needs to be Bowman and Colliton.  Bowman cannot be anywhere near another coaching hire.

    Sad that it had to happen this way.  What an absolute mess.  McDonough was always a complete scumbag so not surprising at all that he swept this under the rug.

    Amazing courage. That is a huge weight off of him.

    Out of curiosity I looked up what Brad Aldrich has been doing since leaving the Blackhawks.

    After leaving Chicago he went to Miami University (OH) and worked with their hockey program. We now know that he sexually assaulted 2  men there in 2012.

    he was convicted of 4th degree criminal sexual conduct involving a high school student in MI in 2013. His name is on the sex offender registry there. He served nine months in prison.

    He is married and has four children.

    9 Months.
    Sad that this is our system.
    Some asswipe who likes heroin and only hurts himself gets years.
    Different asswipe who likes sexual interaction with people who are unwilling and potentially underage...totally fucks with their lives for his own sick assed pleasure. He gets 9 months.


    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Saw the interview last night.  just heartbreaking that they basically covered this up.  weight might be off but will never fully recover.  And if the stories are true the players were making jokes at his expense in the locker room they are pieces of shit as well.

    What is up with Marc Andre Fleury? He's been awful so far! I drafted him in one league and had to drop him, he's got like a 5.50 GAA and 840 save percentage.

    No idea....I was surprised Vegas let him go and now I'm surprised he sucks.

    The whole team is complete garbage especially the defense.  Fleury hasn't been great but he has been getting zero help from his team.

    He hasn't played well, but he also hasn't had any help.  I would imagine it has to be incredibly exhausting being in net with this team.
