Podcast 43: -A lot of speculation on whether fans would take Seth Jones or Dougie Hamilton. Matt and Mike go over both players and who they would rather have. -Zach Parise and Ryan Suter were bought out of their contracts. Neither were happy. We think there is going to be a big market for Suter. He is still a great defenseman who has a lot to add even at his age. Parise on the other hand has had a decline and may end up with the Islanders. -Shea Weber has a bunch of injuries that he is dealing w...

Podcast 42: -Well, it finally happened, Duncan Keith was traded. It's a tough pill to swallow but it was going to happen. He requested a trade last week and wanted to be moved northwest so he could be closer to his family, who lives in Canada. I'm not sure why Ken Holland made this move but I think we got a good player back in Caleb Jones and a third-round draft pick. -Tampa Bay won the Stanley Cup for the second consecutive year and Kucherov is having the time of his life. With tough decisions ...

Podcast 41: Today Matt and Mike sit down and talk about the Blackhawks Goalies performance. There were some good and bad reviews but most importantly honest. Tamps has an incredible team but this team that is playing in the playoffs is 18 million over the cap and they are going to have to make some tough decisions. Who stays and who goes? NHL Journalism seems to speak to favorably about their own team and not give very honest opinions of the product that is put out on the ice. I understand that ...

Podcast 40: We speak briefly about the tragic death of Matiss Kivlenieks. He was killed from fireworks on the 4th of July. Hearts and prayers are with his family. Tampa is up 3-1 on Montreal. I really hope Montreal can keep it going and make this more of a series. They got this far as the underdog and I'd like so see them go all the way. Dylan Strome doesn't fit in the Blackhawks lineup. He had an oppurutnity last year when the Blackhawks top 2 centers were out and he couldn't take advantage of ...

Podcast 39: Jonathan Toews was out all year with a mysterious illness and he issued a statement yesterday. He is planning on playing next year which is great news for a team that needs some. Tampa is up 2 games on the Habs. Habs looked better in the second game but it looks like a big up hill battle for them. It is rumored that Duncan Keith and The Blackhawks are working on a trade to the Pacific Northwest. He is winding down his career and he wants to be close to his son who is getting older. I...

Podcast 38: Tampa and Montreal start the Stanley Cup Finals tonight. We may never see 2 east teams play for the Stanley Cup again so this should be interesting. Tampa is so powerful offensively and Montreal has such a good goalie something has to give. There have been sexual harassment allegations against the Blackhawks that have a dark cloud hovering over the organization. Who is responsible and what was done. We talk about the information we have and our opinions moving forward. With a team lo...

Podcast 37: Habs beat the Golden Knights 3-2 in overtime! I don't think anyone picked this team to go this far in the playoffs and they aren't done yet. Islanders force a game 7 with the Lightning after an OT win themselves. What a series between these 2 teams. Looks like Kucherov is questionable after a cross check he took in game 6. Pat Foley is retiring after 39 years of calling Blackhawks games. Matt gives us what he believes his real reason for retiring and we converse about that for a bit....

Podcast 36: Tampa leads Islanders 3-2, Habs and Vegas are tied 2-2. Tampa really blew out the Islanders in their last game 8-0. They did this to the Hurricanes as well when before going into an elimination game. Lets see if this win will blow all the wind out of the Islanders sails or if they answer back in game 6. Habs and Vegas has been real close. Lehner got the start in the last game and he really played well and shut the door. Because of that Vegas was able to tie the series up at 2 games a...

The Blackhawks lost their last 2 games to Carolina and are pretty much just playing the season out. This is a good time for young players to get more ice time and rest the more veteran players. Did this year hurt Colin Delia's development. We also talk about Tom Wilson injuring Artemi Panarin in New York and the Status of the NHL. They have been inconsistent with punishment.

The Chicago Blackhawks dropped both games against Florida. 2 games that should have been won but deficiencies on defense and some soft goals essentially doomed the team. Alex Debrincat played very well and so did a lot of the young guys. Adam Gaudette has played well since he has been playing with the team and seems to be pushing to stay on the roster. I think there is going to be a lot of competition next year for roster spots amongst the youth on the team. Going forward we'd like to see if Col...

Andrew Shaw retired yesterday after lingering issues with concussions. He has been dealing with these problems for a couple years now and the Doctors said it was time to hang the skates up. He had a great career with the Blackhawks and will always be remembered on for being a part of 2 cup runs. The Blackhawks lost to Tampa Bay tonight and it was a rough game. Goalies had a bad night but the Hawks put up a lot of shots on goal. Lankinen seems to have lost his confidence. Adam Boqvist also got hu...

The Chicago Blackhawks played the Nashville Predators in a three game series this week. They lost the first game, won the second on in an OT thriller, and lost the third game. We go over what we think the Hawks are as a team, the Malcolm Subbans play, and news from around the NHL. These 2 losses could be the last nails in the coffin for the playoffs. There are still a few games left to go and we won't count them out but its not looking good right now. Catch us on Twitter and let us know what you...

The Chicago Blackhawks played the Detroit Redwings in their last series and lost the first one 4-1 and won the second one 4-0. Kevin Lankinen was in goal for the loss and Malcolm Subban was in net for the win. Where are we with the backup goalie situation? It's clear Lankinen is our starter but Subban has been wildly inconsistent and Delia only got one opportunity to play. One bright spot has been the additions from Florida. Vinnie Hinostroza has been playing excellent and Riley Stillman have ma...

The Chicago Blackhawks won both games against Columbus and got some much needed points. Nashville has been on a tear and we need to keep pace with them. We had a few new players play today and Brett Connolly made the biggest impression with a great goal in the third period. The Hawks need to play hard to stay in the hunt to make the playoffs. Not a very active trade deadline but we have all the trades that took place. Leave a comment and lets talk about the trades that were made and the Hawks go...

The Chicago Blackhawks won 1 and lost 1 to the Dallas Stars in their last series. They looked good in the first game but not so much in the second game. Seems like the guys just weren't into it.
