So they announce a rebuild a year earlier and then Bowman thinks better of it and tries to save his job?

He then bags the rebuild a year after they announce it and at least according to your post, it was all Bowman with no direction or input from upper management.

Yeah I doubt anyone in Hawk world management had carte blanche to do anything once the wheels came off the wagon starting in 2016.

Until the Beach thing started to see the light of day, it pretty much sounded like Stan was going to be part of the organization, potentially this year and beyond.

Kinda weird to make statues for sports figures. Who make a big pile of money playing a game for a living 8 months out of the year...

Especially when one of the existing ones was a wife beater who said hitler had a few good ideas.

Well, that settles it then.

Great I stumbled onto One America “news”.

BTW-Anyone selling you the BS that the attempt to overthrow Democracy on 1/6 was anything other than a bunch of deranged Trump supporters is a total liar. Hilarious and almost as sad my daughter's best friend's dad was there and lemme tell you he isn't antifa. Moreover the same ass clown Republicans ranting and raving that 1/6 was a setup are also the ones not really interested in investigating the terrible episode. Trump then suggests he'll pardon the insurrectionists because they've been treated bad. That's awesome, Trump gonna pardon Antifa. I have no love lost for the modern day Democratic Party, they suck, but the Republicans are basically nonsensical, deluded theocratic fascist pieces of dog poop at this point.

He was, hadn't he been named GM of Team USA or something? His star, undeservedly in my view, was certainly not fading. I figured he'd remain at least a few more years depending on how things went.

Thank god we are back to the politics and Trump bashing Blackhawks board.

I knew I was missing something in my life the last few weeks.

It's all Bettman's fault. If they played all year round then there would be no off-season. I can't wait until that guy is gone.

100% spot on….

The D party sucks…

The R party worse…

We need blue collar folks to run for office, not the entitled elitist lawyer / business “job creators”…

Middle finger to both sides.

Exhale

If either Kane or Toews want to go, not much point in trying to keep them.

The Hawks are going for the long long game on the rebuild and both of them have already peaked and show signs of decline. I'm not saying there isn't good hockey left, but neither look Stanley Cup winning quality at this point. Kane is healthier and putting up more points, but the ability to dominate defenders with speed has not been there for some time now. Toews obviously would need to get over his health issues, but still doesn't look like the guy who was the heart of the team in the cup years.

If KD gives either of them long term or money he should be fired.

Seabrook, played being the key word. No disrespect to Magnuson, but Seabrook was ten times the player.

Love you too buddy...and respect your rights to express freely

I was not looking for a political reaction, just making an analogy that many people understand.

Please post where it says you can not say gay in any law or policy in Florida? Its not real, like many assumptions people make. You are free to believe what you wish. Just not supported by facts. What the law says is that teachers should teach math and reading and other subjects to help children develop their potential. No sane person wants their 5 and 6 year old's being encouraged to explore their sexuality in a school setting. We don't need our children groomed we need them to be able to read and write.

Many people disagree and realize that COVID theater is/was just that, theater. NO SCIENCE - JUST FOLLOW EXPERTS MASS FORMATION PYCHOSIS. Don't believe me, read Dr. Birx book. Look at Fauci's pivots over the years. They made it up as they went along. Not a shocker to most people. A disproportionate response to a real issue. Thank God I live in Florida. One of the last free bastion's in country not ruled by group think and fear.

And most Americans know the real insurrection was on election day. Does not pass the sniff test. There was not ONE weapon on any one person arrested and there is ample video showing police and security detail opening doors and leading the jack asses that would follow them into the building.

Want proof or hints as to why, at the very least, people should question the narratives? Anyone questioning them is censored. If you have truth on your side, you have nothing to fear. They rule by fear.

Sure hope Toews does a 180 and accepts the challenge before him to be part of the solution.

Love you Wiz and I am done ranting...

Believe me I saw a Chairman Mao type contradiction in the people with Obama charge (WHICH READ: Toews rocking the Obama doctrine, railing against system, as if he was not a huge part of it.)and only replied, b/c I don't come here to talk politics, because many of you don't know your politics as well as you know you hockey and come here to HEAR ALL on Hockey.

TrueGrit:

Chicagoan for 24 years and then went to Cal and spent 10 years in SF. Don't waste your time discussing politics with leftists. They are anchored to their feelings and have no use for facts, truth, or logic. Keep in mind, most still believe Trump was a Russian spy.
- Harold Washington

No one I know thinks anyone is anything Russian.

I am sorry I appear a leftist to you, just a kid born in the city of Chicago (Where you, or the suburbs, but you call it Chiicago? If the city, where?)

I am sorry I also have no use for facts, logic, truth...been making ups these hockey scouting profiles for years. And all the years (35) I spent teaching high school mathematics ,I was completely illogical.

I think stereo types are fun to throw - they display more ignorance than thought.
