  • Good breakdown of Blackhawks Games

    Greg, Jay and Mario break down every game and opine on all things Blackhawks. I can’t imagine how frustrating it is to keep track of a last place team with no veteran leadership and no experienced players that consistently finishes in the bottom of the division and the league. Trying to justify this incompetent front office that keep trading away solid veteran players is like banging your head against the wall. No rebuild should take 6-8-10 years, which is certainly the Blackhawks current situat... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Charlie Roumeliotis FORECASTS the Chicago Blackhawks Offseason | CHGO Blackhawks Podcast
Q: What is the theory about which contract gets signed first, Bedard or Celebrini?
The guests and hosts discuss a theory that Celebrini's contract could be signed first, potentially followed by Bedard's, to lock in the franchise's core while managing cap space; the theory is debated and contrasted with Frank Ceravalli's view that the two deals could be tied to different timelines.
Could Carson Carels Be the Chicago Blackhawks’ NEXT Defensive Steal? | CHGO Blackhawks Podcast
Q: Pitch yourself. Tell Kyle Davidson why he should draft you and what makes you great?
Carels emphasizes his two-way game, speed, physicality, and leadership; he highlights his ability to contribute offensively while maintaining strong defensive responsibilities, and points to his willingness to learn, adapt to higher levels, and bring a hardworking, blue-collar mentality from his farm life.
Is Jason Robertson a REALISTIC Possibility for the Chicago Blackhawks? | CHGO Blackhawks Podcast
Q: Where does Robertson stand in terms of a new contract this offseason?
Robertson is expected to be re-signed, with the market likely pushing him into a high AAV tier; the Stars aim to reach a number that works for both sides before July 1st to preserve cap flexibility.
OLIVER MOORE JOINS: Rookie Season, Injury & World Championships | CHGO Blackhawks
Q: How does playing center versus wing affect your game and your preparation for the next season?
Center offers more responsibility and has helped me slow the game down to read plays better, which I see as essential to improving and earning a regular role.
OLIVER MOORE JOINS: Rookie Season, Injury & World Championships | CHGO Blackhawks
Q: What was the biggest surprise in your first year playing professionally and moving up through the levels?
The biggest surprise was just how good every other player is in the league and the level of professionalism; you have to bring it every night and read the game tightly to stay competitive.
