Anyway, here's a quick post on the Connor Murphy trade, which hopefully means he's going to get a postseason run for the first time in his career (No, 2020 still doesn't count).

RECAP: The Hawks won a game today. No joke.

Many things about the Blackhawks aren't good this season, but the PK is. Here's a look at what they've been doing and why it's been successful:

Hawks PK Example II

Hawks PK Example 1

Wrote some stuff about a few guys at the bottom of the Hawks lineup and why that's probably not a good spot to be on a team heading to the golf courses come April:

Was a bit too kind with my Crevier ranking.

Wrote about the kids over in the NCAA. Mustard stood out, Boisvert too but not in a good way.

Somehow I’m on my third Monday of the week.

We're going to do our midseason #Blackhawks Top 25 Under 25 check-in next week but before we tally up all our votes we're asking *you* to offer your ballots as well.

Prospect updates coming fast and furious this week, and we start off with a trip up I-90 to Rockford where a few individual players are standing out as the IceHogs' season keeps sliding away:

The Blackhawks have been selected to be in a “yet-to-be-announced League special event” and will have one fewer home game next season.

Our newest SCH writer, @dirtythird.bsky.social took a closer look at what's been going wrong for the Blackhawks power play over the last few months of games:

Blackhawks failed PP entry.

We're recording tonight, we know you've been dying to hear from us. Questions welcome.

Let's kick the week off with a free post assessing the Hawks at the Olympic break. It's not all bad! It's not all good, either. sam-fels-but-whos-buying.ghost.io/olympic-brea...

Well, this is exciting news. Incredibly happy to be a part of the team.

I didn't think I would ever come up with 1,100 words on a mid-February game in Columbus, but the Hawks made it easy by laying an egg they simply have no right to lay. Don't worry, Captain Dickhead was quick to tell everyone how disappointed he was! sam-fels-but-whos-buying.ghost.io/they-havent-...

RECAP: The Hawks blew a three-goal lead and that sucks but maybe it wasn't the worst performance overall? You be the judge:
