I don't know why she was hired but it was most likely to be in the studio and that's fine. But if someone of her exact talent and knowledge was a man and their last name was not Chelios, I'm pretty damn sure they wouldn't have that job.

Have you forgotten Colby Cohen and Charlie Roumeliotis.

Have you forgotten Colby Cohen and Charlie Roumeliotis.

I went dark for a little bit so I honestly have no idea who Colby Cohen is. Don't love Charlie either but I think he was originally hired as a video intern and moved his way up the ranks. But yeah, he seems like a guy who the Blackhawks like in that position because he doesn't ruffle any feathers.

I find his fake Canadian accent to be annoying too. I mean he's from Elmhurst....

Last year’s team was horrendous. This year’s squad is a huge improvement

Congrats on missing out on Colby Cohen. If you watch the NCAA Frozen Four, I'm sure you'll hear at least a half-dozen times how he scored an OT goal in an NCAA championship game some 20 years ago.

Yeah it doesn't seem like she really knows that much about hockey. Maybe she does, I don't know. Did she ever play? Also when I listen to her dad, it doesn't sound like he knows that much about hockey either.

I'm all for offering women a chance to be broadcasters as there is nothing to say that they can't be good. What's interesting is in other sports, women tend to do the play by play but in hockey, they tend to do color. I don't really understand why.

Leah Hextall was doing pbp for a season or so, she was horrible. I think in time you'll hear more women doing it.

Yeah, Chelios is absolutely f***ing awful on the broadcast. Hurts the ears to listen to her.

CHGO laying off people today.

CHGO laying off people today.

What is CHGO?

 

[GIADF]

I have never read or listened to a CHGO anything, so this next part doesn’t mean much, but I didn’t realize they were even big enough to have a round of layoffs.

Always just assumed it was a couple of jerkoffs with a podcast or something.

CHGO Blackhawks is Jay Zawaski, among others. Most of their stuff is behind a paywall, so I don't read much other than their twitter and Bluesky posts.

Wondered what happened to Jay, havent heard his name in years, going all the way back to Biscuit Babble and Franks board.

That's a long way back. He's been around the Hawks for a long time, for sure.

I don't think I was ever on Biscuit Babble.

Maybe I am mixing up board names, that was the predecessor board to Franks board that everyone migrated to. I thought you were there but then again that was a lot of years ago.

Franks board was my first exposure to internet chat boards, iirc. But then again, yeah it was a long time ago and I might just have forgotten being on the Babble.

I believe they were the same board and Frank took over and the name changed. Enough on this for now. Our word salad buddy unfortunately migrated here too, but I have long since blocked him and a few more and am glad I did

The ignore feature is a great tool.
