Rest of the Powers interview:


I was just thinking,the
- captainserious[i]whole thing about his skating and not using his outside edges. Did this pop up out of nowhere like the Lindstrom back stuff?

That was me. If "nowhere" is my eyeballs and it's my observation.

It holds equal to some person POWERS interviews who clearly wants the kid drafted, and what better way to aid that is how great he is, what a good guy he is, waht a great player he is and who he will be on the play yesterday after his contract is up.

Lindstrom's back issues are done.

and if anyone things it is non fixable issue I suggest you go back to former NY Ranger Rod Gilbert's BACK SURGERY 5o years ago at 24... he recovered

Cayden Lindstrom's slight issues are NO comparison.

A great time to circel back to that link someoen put up that feartured Cam Robinson (Elite prospects scout & and a GOOD one) with these three Balckhawk fans thing they do.
I started feeling bad for him after he asnwered the question about the players that might be available at slot #20, and they didn't get it si asked again providing more names....

That "CHGO Chicago Blackhawks Podcast was brought to us by three lightweight hockey minds with fat slovenly bodies. The guy in the centre was so fact and disgusting to me I turned the screen to dark and just listend to Cam Robinson.
They just looked disgusting next to the double screen of Robinson who is fit in more ways that they ever will be. (Harsh!)

I guess I also didn't like the way one of the 3 bozos spent time with all the name calling on Rangers Trouba. (He started refering to the commercial he did with his mother, which is far as i am concerned is one of the BEST of self health.)
Look Moe Larry Curly, you are doing thios because you got a real scout to legitimatize your YouTube, and you are going off track from Hawks and draft while your guest is waiting to show your anger of the way Troba plays? I am not sure any of these three guys ever picked up a stick with skates on...probably just a spoon and fork.


If these are anyone's freinds, tell them they came off as sad reps of the Chicago game fans.

One was trying to make fun of how the RD positioin was "glorified" with obviously no idea of why.
Like so muany here on the board they have decided the second overall pick is between these two players and Cam Robinson helped blow that up as
MjulQvist said a few pages back, when Cam R said, b] Levshunov isn't even my top pair defenseman.

Robinson made me happty as he thought that Hage would be there.
Maybe even the swasita kid Connelly...

I like Ehlers but I would pass. There are some free agents this summer that KD can sign without giving up assets. I can see Roslovic being near the top of KDs UFA list. He doesn't play the same game as Ehlers, but he could fit in here.

Nobody gave us first rounders in 2010 after winning the cup. Paybacks a female dog.

- wiz1901

Just snipped part of that - as referring to yours Wiz...


Don't get why RD is important??? Lol - well yeh I guess that explains why I don't bother with much of that stuff. I guess for the same reason that in the pre-internet days, I just blew past Stan Fischler's season predictions because according to him - a NY based team was winning the Stanley Cup every season (granted that probably did grow out of the Islanders winning 4 in a row ... and he just staying true to his local biases)...

But heh -ok this is a freebie (for people writing those... ) RD at this point in time is about the same sort of thing as left handed pitching (or even like say a fire-balling lefty starting pitcher with pin point control), or a catcher that can hit and catch, and not have blown out their knees after maybe 5 seasons...) - there simply aren't many of them around, and even less that are of any quality. But I sort of get the feeling that maybe that sorta idea springs from the idea that if you bat righty in baseball (like most do ... then being confused about the lefty shot in hockey being due to your dominant hand being on the but end of the stick ... meaning lefty in hockey is as common as righty batters in baseball ... for some reason it takes a lot for some to get their head around that ... and to be fair, I mean when I started - I didn't think about it - I did not start playing as a kid - more like around 20 give or take --- I just picked up a stick that felt right -and it was a lefty ... (and a super lightweight Koho one back in the days they made sticks for all positions). Because of that right handed shots are a little rarer than some might know why. But I am not going to start doing videos or podcasts to deal with that -so I guess I am fated by being swamped on YT or wherever. Back in the day, you didn't get that many voices -you could ignore a guy like Fischler in the Hockey Digest because you could tell his season predictions were based on relying on that Islanders won 4 in a row - and would forever win -and if it wasn't them -it would be the Rangers, and maybe the Devils (notwithstanding those were the days when Gretzky was slagging them as a Mickey Mouse outfit or something like that) .... because it was unfounded homer bias -and it stopped happening (ok -til 1994 ...and then only once). You'd skip it and move on ... but there are a lot more people pumping stuff out now. I dunno- it's maybe me, but I don't find much value there- I think those guys you were mentioning -might have watched them a couple of times when they had Nick Foligno on.

I'm not advocating for any individual to be picked or whatever, (it will be whoever it will be)- just explaining the context of the RD position. I mean if it were up to me - I'd wave a magic wand and find the perfect winger for Mr Bedard - and that would be that. And I have become 'resigned' to that.

For those watching the game tonight, you just saw a glimpse of why I’d give up the Tampa pick for Holloway, but doubt the Oil would. Size, hands, and speed.

I thought of you when he scored Lou.

I don’t think they’ll get within a country mile of Connelly, regardless of his talent. It took them until last season to purge all the remaining ties to the Beach incident, which is why I think they will never bring Kane back.

Probably the last thing they want is to be fodder to the national media for the wrong reasons again.

Kid deserves a second chance, but hard to imagine it happens with the Hawks.

I’d like to see McDavid win a cup, but don’t think they have the defense and depth. That’s where the Hawks come in, get ir done KD!. They can have any defenseman that they want not named Vlasic , KK, and maybe Rinzel.

Can Chicago take on Jack Campbell’s contract, three more years at $5M per? If so Cambell and Holloway for a later draft pick? Be funny if the Hawks took on Campbell’s contract and he has a Mrazek like resurgence.

Mrazek's biggest issue has been his health but if things played out similarly that'd be great. Hoping KFC finds someone better than Soderblom to split time with Mrazek.

Heard a rumor that Vosters could be out.

- Angotti

Another example is it takes a bit of time to acclimate.

Stanley would have taken Holloway but Toews got us in the CoVid playoffs that year, so we picked #17 after a quick Cup out and took Lukas Reichel.

I hope there is a real replacement.

I heard one of those guys from that podcast you were talkng about is taking over for Vosters. The other two will do the studio show.

Don’t know if anyone has seen this, Jakob Voracek is criticizing Bedard for not celebrating his goals. Personally I love it, a throwback to Steve Larmer or Bobby Orr, act like you’ve scored before until the goal is worthy of a celly, example, a Stanley Cup winner.

Celebrate/don't celebrate...I'm fine either way but Voracek's take is odd that he considers it "disrespectfull" not to celebrate.

Disappointed in you Wiz. Knocking someone for their lack of hockey knowledge is one thing, deriding someone for their looks is ignorant.

- MartiniMan

What did kane have to do with any of it?

I am not so sure they can convince the Ducks or Blue Jackets to trade up or hope that he is there when you trade for #5 with Montreal (whose fans seem hot for Demidiov.)

I am not Central Scouting, or the Athletic talking mock heads or Craig Button.

But Cayden Lindstom isn't going to linger despite the menagerie of rearguards.

Wasn't aware it was you that noticed his skating deficiencies. I've been in and out of the board and just saw that mentioned a few times,had no idea someone who knows what they are talking about made the observation.
IF skating is as important as they have said it is,then Demidov would probably be a no go at #2.
I always take the chgo guys hockey knowledge with a huge grain of salt,but I do like their guests like Robinson.

Found it surprising Cam likes Nazar more than Cooley.

I think I read somewhere Levshunov is a good 4 way skater,but has some clunkiness in his stride,not sure what to make of it.

Celebrate/don't celebrate...I'm fine either way but Voracek's take is odd that he considers it "disrespectfull" not to celebrate.
- HawkintheD

Really odd.
Honestly, I'm just like you,celebrate/don't celebrate - don't care
98 held off the score sheet again. Not sure who he is playing with and if he is getting any minutes to do any damage?

Disappointed in you Wiz. Knocking someone for their lack of hockey knowledge is one thing, deriding someone for their looks is ignorant.
- LFS

Funny, how people look uglier when they act ugly Yeah, three slobs who are name calling Trouba (and Trouba's mother) names (b/c of the hat on the ice of Trouba) and even mentioning the "Get Body Checked Against Cancer campaign" to help encourage the hockey community to get checked for cancer.

I have listenedt o spittin' chicklets, and many you tube" fan expressions" but their particular value to the conversation loses credibility and the majority of us are going to watch the hockey speculation, not their fan anger about a certasin player.

Don't get me wrong;you title your you tube why I hate Trouba, then I know to watch based on it. but to hype it about teh draft and the draft guest, stay on topic.

Decent blog by the Montreal writer here. He discusses the possibility of Montreal taking Lindstrom at 5 if he falls that far.

He's speculating that Chicago will take Levshunov, Anaheim Dedimov and CBJ possibly a defenseman, leaving Lindstrom, Catton, Eiserman, Iginla, and four of Silayev/ Buium/Parekh/D!ckinson/Yakemchuk available at 5.

Says Lindstrom is a high risk/high reward player due to his injuries but that's where the team's scouts and medical personnel will earn their money. Combine is coming up where many teams will take a closer look at him. Also mentions there aren't many chances to draft a big talented center unless a team fails for a year.

And then he writes if Habs feel the injuries aren't going to be a long term issue, it could be an amazing pick. If there are concerns, plenty of other options will be available.

Same can be said for Hawks.

The flyers jumped through all the necessary hoops to bring over the goalie last year, so this doesn't surprise me if it's true.

Blackhawks can make it work if they want to.

I'm pretty sure I've read that it would be possible to get Demidov to the NHL if he is drafted this year. Some sort of deal can be worked out with his KHL team.
I honestly believe whoever is going to draft him should do whatever is necessary to get him to the NHL/AHL next season. Another year of the MHL isn't going to do him any good.
