Mrazek starting in goal for the Hawks. He has been excellent despite his numbers. Bedard starting at wing for the first time with Kurashev at center and Teravainen opposite. HCLR has juggled lines every game. First time in the Climate Pledge, hoping for an exciting game.

At least, it's a good start. The more we use our speed, the more fun we are to watch.

I like Eddie Olczyk but he's better with Forslund and JT than with anyone else he's put with in other games by far cause you can't teach chemistry...

Black Hawks have some good players and youngsters that they're being patient with which is a good Formula

Is it just me or does it seem like a lot of these setup passes in the offensive zone just go to Kraken players who are not there? And if there is a player there it is the other teams skater.

I know the lack of skill on this team is part of the reason why but feel like it is more of a communication thing.

Why does Chicago get to continue playing with the puck for as long as they want when Mrazek's the one who removed the mask?

I'm all for safe play (and I'm a goaltender) but if you remove your mask for a whistle, then there needs to be a whistle.

Billy Reay was the coach of the Black Hawks in 1971 when the They played MOntreal Canadiens for the Stanley Cup in 1971 my 2nd Finals as a kid

And Henri Richard scored 2 goals too and the Hawks were up 2-0 at one point I believe

I didn't notice that but that is kind of weird. I thought that went without saying right? Mask off for more than a few seconds should mean the whistle should be blown.

Lots of completely unobstructed shots from the point on Mrazek. Operation "pad his Sv%" I guess?

Not sure why Forslund is the target of all the age jokes when Olczyk is damn near the same age?

The 4th line seems like the only one generating real chances. I have been pretty disappointed with Wright's play. He has not been a negative, but we need more production from him and his line. Maybe he needs to sit for a game or two.
