Fire Luke Richardson

Why would it, I still follow them closely? Just don't waste my time watching boring the ass hockey.

LMAO

When the media finally turns on you, your time is UP.

When the media finally turns on you, your time is UP.

Especially when it comes to Chicago hockey it's all softballs. A mild critique from the Hawks beat guys is the equivalent to a scathing indictment of a Bears coach.

f*** off, Luke.

 

[ChiHawks10]

f*** off, Luke.

What a f***ing clown.

f*** off, Luke.

Future Hawks checking line if LR is around long enough(Just threw up in my mouth):

Bedard-Nazar-Lardis

Last in the league in even strength scoring chances, 2nd to last in high danger chances. Not good.

Also, Powers wrote 15 different pieces about the Hawks in this thread (on Bluesky, which apparently we can embed here now?!?), some of it's worth a quick read.

What a f***ing clown.

I guess if you're looking to turn your 1st overall pick into a 3rd line grinder, then Luke is your guy.

When your star forward and future face of the franchise starts publicly saying he feels like this, changes need to be made. You cannot let the kid continue to wallow and Richardson's handling of him is a big reason for it.

Connor Bedard sounds lost and discouraged, and Blackhawks' illogical line usage is partly to blame

Mired in an 11-game goal drought, Bedard doesn't "feel like I'm really doing anything" productive. Hawks coach Luke Richardson's resistance to prioritizing what Bedard needs to get back on track has become thoroughly perplexing.

Pope seems to agree with us.

He needs to be fired ASAP.

100%.

This would be like trying to turn Kane into Hossa. Like... you're neutering a player that has the potential to be one of the most dynamic offensive forwards in the NHL. Absolutely fireable.

He doesn't seem to realize that he has one f***ing job. Develop their young players, and keep them happy. He's failing at both.
