What about fan podcasts like Andy Campbell and his panel over at the-Rink.com . And their Rinkcasts covering the Blackhawks?Or tge Second City Hockey website and other podcasts.?The guy who ribs Blackup up has sone serious incisive and knowledgeable commentary.
yes..you usually do not get much fro. POWERS AND Laz podcasts...maybe they give more insights behind their pay walk forcthe Athletoc study.. but it seems only when they bring in special guests with better knowledge doyou get much of real value ...their knowledge is pretty limited themselves.. and for Laz he neither as he clains id a fan of the Blackhawks but only doing his objective journalism job whicjI suspect he woukd rather be on a political or social culture "intelkectual" journalism job not a mere sports journalism job anyway...
His politics of course turn me off when he gets off hockey.but he cannot stop promoting his beliefs and telling tgecworkd they mist comply to his dictates.This makes him nauseating when he goescoff track from what he shoukd be talking about...the on ice product...not issues that fit his moral superiority complex.
You getvavkit of religion of stuff we already know from Powers. TOGETHER THEY just do not provide moch new information you already have anyway.
The panel over at Second City Hockey havecsonevibterestibg takes and certain panel members like Betsy who lives inAtlanta seem to be a lot more knowledgeable...but sinetinescthey have a dolt on the panel too and they alk go off on the food take tangent..Who cares? JUST stick to the hockey for tgevoidcssts!They have gone over to payroll for some deeper analysis articles ...now havec2 levels of suppirt..but you can still getca few free articles off the website and still get the main podcasts free.
The CHGO podcasts panel on the Blackhawks which go to YouTube and are free,arexreakky not that knowledgeable in my view..again repeat stuff we get from other sources.. but at least you can get competing opinions .....sonetines...However I lost respect when a couple of their panelists said Kk was ok for a 19 year old in his first season...but then compounded the bad asessment (clearly at-39 Kk strughged) they then said they expected him with the Blackhawks not in Rockford.. when clearly even a kindergartner could see he needs to develop in Rockford before he is NHL ready.
So really I think hfboards.com with thus Blackhawks board is the overall best place to go to get info and opinions from the most informed sources..the fans who post on this board!
And of course ESPECIALLY concerning prospect updates,analysis,and opinions pointing out weaknesses and best attributes and any improvements or retreats that affect their trajectories for impact or busting.
