The Athletic’s Katie Strang reports that Galchenyuk “was arrested on July 9 on a number of charges including private property hit and run, disorderly conduct, failure to obey, resisting arrest, Threatening or Intimidating.”

What a surprise. Looks like the Yotes are terminating his contract, IMHO he’s done in the NHL.

If Todd Bertuzzi was reinstated, this looks like like nothing.

Excerpt from Powers' Athletic story this morning regarding CB:

The other thing that stood out is that he’s a rink rat. He was itching to get on the ice all of last week. There’s no doubt he’s going to be ready for the season.

“Yeah, it’s been a pretty long time (not being on the ice), maybe the longest in my life,” he said. “No, but it was a good week and they had good reasons for it, of course. I really enjoyed the week.”

That's all he knows lives breathes hockey 24/7 so when something out of the ordinary happens he probably taken back and a little confused. He will be fine.

You may find this amusing (or not). I had Hawks season tickets for 15 years starting the year Denis Savard was drafted and Stan Mikita retired. I had four seats and towards the end, one of the seats was bought by a friend of mine who was a Chicago Police sergeant. I took the Ike and got off at Western Ave, like I always did. He started yelling at me from the back seat. What the hell are you doing getting off at Western? Do you know how dangerous it is around here? I reminded him that he carried a gun. He told me that if anything happened, he would shoot me first! After that we started exiting at Paulina. Who knew I had a kitty cop in the back seat?

Back in the day ole Eli, under the watchful eye of big brother JJ, would have dropped you the old pink slip of death for a two day ban.
- paulr


Tru dat. Eli was indeed JJ's jack booted lackey. Seemed like a decent guy...til he got a taste of power. I mean we're talking power on a chat board but he embraced it and was more than happy to ban you for glancing sideways at ole' Uncle JJ.

Sportsnet released Kevin Bieksa and Ron McLean as commentators. McLean was meh, but I thought Bieksa was a real up and comer. Very knowledgeable, he knew many of the current NHLers, he has a great sense of humour and he was a breath of fresh air from the tired old commentators were used to.

The idea is to wait until the compile the new batch for the covid boosters wait for now.

then get both.

It is kinda amazing how we wearable two fight this thing with the right methods w/o denial.

We have a free 12 days until the owner of Chicago Costi=ume an this wife and three little daughters arrive to visit. they did the stupid troll for Seattle ignoring my suggestion of a fire breathing Kraken aspect to the suit.

I told my wife I was inviting you all here for a Blackhawk party before they got here...she put the cabash on that!

Wiz you ever see a rebuild this aggressive?

I was curious so i was looking at other teams that were rebuilding.

I looked at NJ and Ottawa over 7 years
Red Wings over 5, since Y took over, LA over 5.
Blue Jackets over the past 4 years.

In 2 years the Blackhawks have more top 100 picks than the BJs. Next year they will have more than what it took LA to gather in 5 years.

Next year if things stay the same, they will have the same amount of top 10 picks as BJs and LA, and possibly have more top 20 picks next year than the Red Wings, BJs and LA depending on how the Bolts do.

Ottawa was pretty aggressive, they really concentrated on getting top 50 picks over 7 years. 4 top 10, 3 top 20, 4 top 30, 5 top 40, and 6 top 50. Only 5 between top 50 top 100.

It does show how valuable getting that top draft pick is. NJ hit twice and it really helped their franchise.

I also noticed Y got really aggressive this year in gathering draft capital. Maybe seeing what KD was doing he thought you know that's really a good way to go.

So here's to us hitting one more time on the draft lotto in the next couple of years.

Its a community in here with people who have been around for years, LA. You included. FFS, bring up your other interests. (frank) the code of conduct. We don't have a ref in here nor do we need one.

- Elbows15


Amem.

We don't need a ref, b/c really nobody has been crazy nasty for years...since the anti-Eli (moderator) people started talking crap about his wife in an alternate anti JJ buzz copied website for their enjoyment.

I don't think it as much a reinstatement or playing in the NHL.

This to me was a drunken frank-up but he happened to get arrested after signing with the only team that already drafted Mitchell Miller, after saying they learned more about his bullying of a Black classmate with developmental disabilities four years ago.

This was a way to prove their idea of a "teachable moment" could be dismissed b/c Galchenyuk wasn't worth the bad publicity when weighing his actual value to them as a player.

I think Kyle from Chicago has set up a new paradigm.

Back before expansion and a true Universal draft in about 1969 (as the drafts in 1963-68 only involving players not tied in NHL team sponsored junior teams which were being phased out.

The Penguins did a big tank for Mario.

But no one ever saw the opportunity knocking to let go so many in the wake of the two aging stars and their giant salaries coinciding departures.

You could make the case that several teams have drafted, then traded top players instead of paying them, getting more early picks and trading them too.

I still do not have any clues to the Arizona plan.

For this old man who isn't looking to be entertained in between periods this news really really sucks. Bieska is a clever/funny dude without being a clown and has one helluva hockey mind with loads of insight and stories.

No, McLean is not a ratings beast but he's an old school classy proud Canadian who loves the sport all the way down to its roots, not just the NHL.

This sucks out loud. I'm assuming HNIC and Sportsnet wants to go the clown show route TBS and ESPN has. ..... Constant reminders it's a young man's hot take profits driven world and this is just another one.

Really nice work, Dots. Thanks for doing it and sharing..... But IMO BUF and ANA need to be considered too as well as COL coming from rock bottom and drafting McKinnon as a result.

Someone posted in this thread that forget ever having a dynastic run the like Hawks had starting in 2010. No doubt, the odds of having a run like the Hawks did are daunting in a cap world. No doubt, but;

Winning Bedard this yr bucked the odds and got the luck needed if one were to start building a dynasty or a multiple cup roster this is one huge step. Tons of ifs and luck to win one cup let alone more than one but IF Korchinski is a bonafide #1 Dman and the Hawks were right on their evaluation of Moore they have 3 legit pieces for a run built around Bedard.

As you point out the Hawks have a nearly unprecedented number of top 100 and top 50 picks over 3-4 yrs. Yep, the odds are stacked against 1 cup let alone 3 but getting Bedard, what they've drafted, the premium picks they have yet to make if you squint the possibility of a multi yr run is there.

I always loved HNIC because they weren't clowns. They were the preferred way to watch hockey. I wonder what direction they are going in the coming year.

LOL! That's one version I suppose. You left out the part where Eli was clearly upset he didn't get an invite to said alternate site and started banning posters for months and even years in a few cases for people who didn't happen to agree with everything JJ was blogging about.

If you notice, a lot of those people are back now and as you mention, it's not so crazy nasty. So what's missing?

Since 2020 Tampa Bay has won 2 cups and lost in a final. If they win another cup in the next couple of years are they a dynasty?

Yes, because we beat that horse to death. If you go back and read my posts, you’ll notice that I didn’t mention anything about coaching, just bringing them in to mentor these kids as part time consultants, they should be great resources.
