Well, I said about a week ago that Jeremy's approach with Seabrook will dictate whether he is going to last as a coach in this league. Impressive for him to go through with it and for him to stick with his guns.

Hopefully we can get a win.

On a somber note, it is kind of sad to see some of our legends really slowing down. I'm happy Seabrook and Crawford will not be playing tonight and that makes me sad. I loved Seabrook in his prime, hell I have a #7 jersey. Crawford was a fantastic goalie for many years. It sucks but age gets us all.

I wonder if we'll get an honest assessment of Gilbert around here. He had a few good moments in pre-season but he had more bad. Gus as well had better get his shit together. I know you guys won't listen. It's not in fashion - but Seabs has never been a speedster and it was never a part of his game. He still makes a lot of good plays on defence and can contribute offensively but unfortunately, most of the good is overlooked.

Of course the media can report that and he can say he disagrees, which doesn't constitute lashing out.

Also, when athletes get past their prime, they are almost always going to be the last to accept that they can't do what they used to, which is completely understandable if we are being honest. This isn't something that's unique to Seabs, which is why I don't view it as anything to make a big deal of. Father time is undefeated. At some point Kane will be asked similar questions and have similar responses. Hopefully his contract will be more in line with his abilities at that point than with Seabs now. But to me that's where all this comes from. Pent up frustration and anger (understandable) over Seabs play and contract. What he actually said wasn't a big deal.

Reminds me of old bands past their prime. I see all the bands that play at the Arcada Theater in St Charles come into that Starbucks all the time. Old grandfathers with shoe polish dyed black long hair, black fingernail polish, earrings and a hundred Johnny Depp style bracelets.

Give it up guys - you aren't a big deal anymore. :)

You're overstating how much good there is to overlook on D. He's so slow and falls so easily that he gets torched out there both on the rush and in the corners with regularity.

No, he really doesn't... He's a liability every time he's on the ice.

"I think I've been playing good."
"I feel like I'm skating better."
"I feel like I've got a lot to offer this team."
"I don't think I need rest"
"I think I feel great. I'm 34."

So I read through the entire conversation a couple times now, from a couple sources, and not once did he mention he needs to be better, or work harder? Not once did he take any responsibility for being scratched? Basically just in denial. I didn't understand the quote about "you guys seem to want to write about my age and my speed". I mean, who in the Chicago media has done this??

Even if they did write about his speed and age, they wouldnt be wrong. He just cant accept he isnt an NHL level player anymore.

So the question now is, does Seabrook accept that he needs to get better, and actually work harder to get back in the lineup, and take this like a professional? Or does he pout, thinking his play is perfectly fine?
 
also the same guy that said kampf wasn't an nhl player...also the guy that loves gilbert after 3 nhl games...also the guy that apparently doesnt look at possession stats because 4k is one of the better corsi guys on team

think JC and org might give him one more look and let him sink or swim...after that its gotta be about winning...I'm curious if JC does it a third time if they win tonight
 
Hey Guys, first time poster here but long time reader. Excited to get in on the conversation and enjoy the season with you guys. Super pumped for the game tonight, definitely think its a big game and a big opportunity to get a statement win on the road in a tough environment.
In terms of my feelings on some decisions going into tonight's game, love Lehner getting another back to back . Love keeping Strome and DeBrincat together (not that I actually thought they wouldn't be ) but still nice to see them remain together. As far as Seabrook sitting, I don't really have a problem with it ( mostly because it don't matter, he will get back in lol) but I still think he can help us in a limited bottom pairing role. Outside of Gustafsson he is still our best offensive defenseman. I don't see Seabrook as the problem, I see his contract as the problem. All in all, he did a lot of great things for this Franchise, and is a great teammate. So lets not let one little comment made while he was upset dictate what kind of teammate he is and what he means in that locker room. I am not defending his play the last few years because we all know it hasn't been good enough, but sitting Seabrook don't solve much if Toews and Company don't wake up.. Happy to be apart of this board now though, look forward to discussing tonight's game with you all after! GO HAWKS!

wasn't that question asked to him and he said something like "he never was told anything like that"....I could have sworn he said nothing was ever even discussed with him...at all.

That's what he claimed.

Friedman stood by his claim:

After Seabrook denied the report John Dietz of The Daily Herald reached out for a response from Friedman, who stood by what he reported.

“I understand, at least once this season, there was a conversation between team, player, and agent about his future in Chicago. That’s all I can really say. At some point this season, it happened.”​
