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...

Seeing the City of Broad Shoulders deliriously wrap its football team in a big Bear hug has only whetted the hockey team's appetite. On the Blackhawks, the one and (they hope) future kings of Chicago: www.nytimes.com/athletic/696...

I’m no Trump fan but this is a clear and cogent explanation of his new “FIRE BAD” legislation.

Caleb Williams reached out to Connor Bedard last summer "just to say what's up." Now Bedard and his Blackhawks teammates want what Williams and the Bears have: The undivided attention and affection of a sports-crazed city that's madly in love. My column: www.nytimes.com/athletic/696...

New POWERS & LAZ: @scottpowers.bsky.social and I talk about Tyler Bertuzzi's big season, the job Jeff Blashill has done so far, and where the Blackhawks grade out. Listen here: www.patreon.com/posts/gradin...

Teuvo Teräväinen left the game with an upper-body injury. Blashill will know more Wednesday.

FINAL: Blackhawks, minus Bedard the whole game and Teräväinen for the second and third, fall 4-1 to Edmonton.

GOAL: Draisaitl puts a careless Kaiser pass right past Knight, who wasn't ready for it. Bang-bang. 4-1.

GOAL: Bouchard scores from about 195 feet away into the empty net. 3-1 Oilers.

OIlers put the puck in the net, but it's quickly waved off. After a quick discussion, it's deemed no goal on the ice. Now they'll look at it more closely.

Levshunov saves a goal at one end, then almost scores a couple times at the other.

Tyler Bertuzzi had 23 goals in 82 games last season. He now has 24 in 43 games this season.

GOAL: Bertuzzi bangs in a rebound and suddenly we have a ballgame. 2-1 OIlers with 5:14 left.

Nick Foligno draws a Stastney tripping penalty with 9:28 left. Still 2-0 Edmonton.

Blackhawks officially rule out Teuvo Teräväinen for the rest of the game. He hasn't played since the first period. No reason given, but it's not hard to guess one the way things have been going for the Blackhawks. We'll see after the game.

One of these Artyom Levshunov shifts is not like the other... one of these Artyom Levshunov shifts just doesn't belong...

END OF PERIOD 2: Blackhawks trail 2-0, but showed a little more life in the back half of that period. A strong power play followed by back-to-back kills against the Oilers' mighty power play. They'll need a big third, though.

Alex Bregman is here. Fans are banging garbage cans in appreciation.

Connor McDavid recorded his 10th career 50-assist season, passing Wayne Gretzky and Jari Kurri (both w/ 9) for the most in /EdmontonOilers history. #NHLStats Tune in 🌎: www.nhl.com

Bertuzzi, Donato and Levshunov were all out there for more than three minutes. Levshunov nearly four!

Blackhawks generate a ton of chances on that power play, but Levshunov and Greene (a couple times) can't finish.

Let's just say this hasn't been the Blackhawks' best game of the season. Yeesh.

GOAL: Bouchard banks one in off the back of Knight's skates and it's 2-0 Oilers 16 seconds into the second period.

Per Natural Stat Trick, the Oilers had 11 high-danger scoring chances in the first period despite having just 10 shots on goal.

END OF PERIOD 1: It's 1-0 Oilers thanks to Zach Hyman. But mostly thanks to Spencer Knight, because it probably should be 3-0 or so.

Ryan Donato must have hit a Santaguilia-sized hole in the ice because he just fell untouched on a good scoring chance.

After a truly pitiful rendition of Bear Down (even with the lyrics on the Jumbotron, everybody lost their place quickly), the United Center recovers its dignity with a unified GREEN BAY SUCKS chant.

GOAL: After so many great saves by Knight, Zach Hyman scores when a Bouchard pass banks in off his foot. 1-0 Oilers.

Not For You. One. #PearlJamCounter (A fitting choice after another big Knight save.)
