Trade grades: @harmandayal2 and I weigh in on the Flames-Golden Knights deal that sent Rasmus Andersson to Vegas: www.nytimes.com/athletic/698...

The Panthers have an 8 p.m. game in Minnesota on Saturday night before coming to Chicago for Sunday's game. So if the Bears win tonight, the NHL can't really move this game up much to accommodate. Could make for an interesting environment at the UC.

As the franchise celebrates championships past, the young Blackhawks are trying to pen their own glorious story. But they have a long way to go. Column, plus game observations from me and @scottpowers.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/athletic/698...

Hi. Shut the fuck up about protein. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Yours, Me.

The current Blackhawks seek their own success, but the Banner Years’ celebration was a reminder of what was before them and what’s possible. That plus last night’s game with @marklazerus.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/athletic/698...

Frank Nazar appears as if he’ll be a full practice participant.

New POWERS & LAZ bonus episode: @scottpowers.bsky.social and I discuss tonight's Blackhawks' pregame ceremony and in-game struggle. Listen here: www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-...

FINAL: Blackhawks lose an ugly one, 5-2 to Boston. The vibes, they are bad again.

Bedard denied on the doorstep with the extra attacker. Blackhawks can't buy a goal these days.

At this moment, Arvid Söderblom has an .868 save percentage, which would be tied for fourth-worst in the league. He'll be in the bottom 10 of GSAx, as well, after tonight.

GOAL: Khusnutdinov makes it 5-2. Woof.

ARvid Söderblom looked great early on, stopping the first eight shots he faced. He's since allowed four goals on 12 shots (though, to be fair, a couple of them were hard to pin on him).

GOAL: A power-play dagger from Lohrei, his second of the game. 4-2 Bruins with 10:59 left.

END OF PERIOD 2: It's 3-2 Bruins. Pretty ghastly period by the Blackhawks, who didn't do much of anything offensively and allowed three Bruins goals to go from up 2-0 to down 3-2. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy.

GOAL: Arvidsson completes a nifty give-and-go and the Bruins take a 3-2 lead with 45.9 seconds left in the second period.

GOAL: Bruins tie it up 2-2. Mason Lohrei.

Bruins fans in front of the press box sadly and quietly booing to themselves as they show "17 Seconds" highlights during the TV timeout.

Oliver Moore makes a slick feed to Nick Lardis off the rush, but the pass it juuuuuust broken up enough to prevent Lardis from making the backdoor tap-in.

GOAL: McAvoy. Nice bit of passing by Boston. 2-1 Chicago now.

GOAL: Kaiser with a snipe. He's stoked. 2-0.

GOAL: Ryan Greene just after the power play expires. 1-0 Blackhawks.

As opposed to when I get to Milan and do a number on some pasta.

Ilya Mikheyev gets the Blackhawks' first shot on goal at 8:30 of the first period.

Leash. One. #PearlJamCounter Man, I called that one this morning.

Blackhawks alums in attendance: From 2010: Jordan Hendry Andrew Ladd Troy Brouwer Kris Versteeg Dustin Byfuglien Dave Bolland Adam Burish Colin Fraser Brian Campbell Ben Eager

Crowd is half-ignoring the ceremony and roaring for Rappelling Guy again. 😂

One of the Stanley Cups is here for "Banner Years" night.

don't point out it wasn't a dynasty, laz don't point out it wasn't a dynasty, laz don't point out it wasn't a dynasty, laz don't point out it wasn't a dynasty, laz don't point out it wasn't a dynasty, laz don't poi

A handful of Blackhawks alums and their kids are here for morning skate. Lots of little Seabrooks and Versteegs running around.

It's nostalgia day for the Blackhawks. Curious, what music comes to mind when you think of those Cup teams? First ones I thought of: – Some Nights (pregame) – Safe and Sound (2013 montage) – Holiday Road, inexplicably – Leash, Pearl Jam (after fights) – C'mon (the old PP song)

With the Blackhawks celebrating their 2010, 2013 and 2015 Stanley Cup teams this weekend, ⁦ @marklazerus.bsky.social and I attempted to track down what those players are up to now: www.nytimes.com/athletic/697...

pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things

The Blackhawks are celebrating the 2010, 2013 and 2015 Stanley Cup teams this weekend, so @scottpowers.bsky.social and I put together a "Where are they now?" list of what all those players are up to these days: www.nytimes.com/athletic/697...

Mets GM David Stearns: We need to drastically improve our team defense. Also Mets GM David Stearns: Jorge Polanco to first base! Bo Bichette to third base! Brett Baty to left field! Mrs. Met to starting pitcher! (Still stoked about Bichette's bat, though.)

If the Blackhawks are serious about contending for a playoff spot in the Western Conference, games like last night can't happen, writes @scottpowers.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/athletic/697...

The final Western Conference playoff spots are very much still up for grabs. The Blackhawks have done well enough so far to put themselves in that mix. It's why they can't have games like last night. My story from a winnable game the Blackhawks lost: www.nytimes.com/athletic/697...

Duolingo, seriously, what is wrong with you?

Abolish the Dodgers.

Murphy accepts a fight despite being in obvious pain (or maybe having the wind knocked out?) after he delivered a center-ice hit. The Blackhawks bench loves it. www.nytimes.com/athletic/696...

Jonathan Toews has point No. 900! 🚨 He became the fifth player from the 2006 #NHLDraft class to reach the mark, following Claude Giroux (1,148), Nicklas Backstrom (1,033), Brad Marchand (1,026) and Phil Kessel (992). #NHLStats Tune in 🌎: www.nhl.com

Is someone being murdered in my basement or is there someone at the United Center unleashing a blood-curdling scream every few seconds?

Oliver Moore has quickly become one of my favorite Blackhawks to talk with. He's got a big personality and a lot to say. Get to know him better with @ByScottPowers' Q&A: www.nytimes.com/athletic/697...

Loved this from new dad @wpgmurat.bsky.social, who asked the Jets for their fatherly advice: (And I've definitely lived this story from Eric Comrie.) www.nytimes.com/athletic/694...

Continuing our series of getting to know the Blackhawks’ young players, Oliver Moore is featured today: www.nytimes.com/athletic/697...

Side effects may include: Idris Elbow, Barry Manilobes, REO Speedlung, rectal hallucinations, intense apathy, and slight cyclopsism. #IllSeeYouInHealth

So after plateauing for about a year, my follower count has damn near doubled in the last couple of months. I can only assume the bots have invaded Bluesky?

Connor Murphy has been a Blackhawk longer than Marián Hossa was. Almost as long as Patrick Sharp was. So how is he handling the possibility that his time here could end in a matter of weeks? My column on an underappreciated Chicago stalwart: www.nytimes.com/athletic/696...

On the ice, in the room and in the community, Blackhawks defenseman Connor Murphy has quietly become a Chicago staple. He's built a career here, a life here. Chicago is home. But for how much longer? My column: www.nytimes.com/athletic/696...
