Or if Nick Leddy had been standing an inch to either side...

Stupid Alec Martinez deflections. I've seen him out at bars in Hermosa/Manhattan on occasion. I don't really recall this, likely due to some drinking, but my dad swears I called Martinez "cup ruiner" the first time we saw him out after the 2014 WCF

You mean if Nick Leddy blocked pucks instead of sidestepped them. he just could not get out of the way fast enough. (Which is why I like our defensive corp much better now. No one is afraid to stand in front of a puck. )

Anyone on here familiar with Dallas? I'm headed there tonight and will be seeing the game on Saturday, and am taking any and all recommendations for restaurants, bars, and such!

Hammer's significant other also is a model, gorgeous girl

Come on, it's Sweden man!!

It's true, overall Swedes are almost unfairly good looking

Hi Mexico: Love your stuff.

Please tell me that Jordan Subban is one of those "youth" players that would come to Chicago, because after Pokka (and stop me if I'm wrong here, Eli), the D prospect well is pretty dry.
- HelloFriend

Don´t forget Gustav Forsling who might have the best uspide of all Hawks D prospects. He´s had very solid season so far in SHL. Only 19 years old and playing with men and got just selected to Sweden´s national team for Euro Hockey Tour games against Finland.

For your oogling pleasure, the Blackhawks wives and girlfriends. Hammer's wife back left. Kruger's GF, front middle. Good to be the kings (of Chicago sports, that is).

Yes please.

Buff with the Kings or Ducks is a nightmare situation .

Hawks would have to play 7 games to win instead of 5 .....
- mrpaulish

We must do all we can to prevent those 2 teams from getting Buf cuz if there is one thing that will stick a wrench in our hopes of a repeat its that!!!!!

I lived there 25 years ago.

So I can't recommend specific places anymore, but generally, there are some great Mexican restaurants there, barbecue, Deep Ellum used to be where to go for bars and concerts. I'm sure that's changed though.

Actually Fort Worth had a nice zoo.

I'm one of them (if only. . .)

One of the Blackhawks related social media accounts I follow posted it. Was easy to find again. Front right, I think is Shawzy's GF.

That is Shaw's longtime girlfriend

Thanks JJ and Mex for the insight and some very interesting rumors and happenings.

On Marko Dano...he is young, but like TT I personally dont know if they will put it together. I hope they do but I dont know. TT I have at least seen flashes but Dano looked slow, out of place and just not a fit or worth the hype coming out of Columbus. Trade him if it brings maybe a Skinner or another piece. You have to remember, our two 10 million dollar players are getting older and older, if moving Dano brings cups now then so be it.

Bickell, Dano and Danault for Pacioretty. Done!

Bergevin would be guillotined.

That title is co-reserved for McCauley and OHalloran. The linesman that game were runners up.

Problem is the asking price for Pacioretty is going to be one that Bowman wont pay. He is a three time 30+ goal guy under a great contract. It will be a haul. He is also their captain

And the last thing that team is trading right now is offense.

How about some of you bloggers get a picture together of your wives/girlfriends and post it

Straight female, but I'm probably to blame for starting this with the yoga pic and then continuing it with the NYE pic. Thanks for the much deserved smack upside the head.

Yeah, it's probably a good idea to move the conversation away from this, and return to talking about hockey.
