Because punctuality has always been my strongest suit: here are some thoughts on the #Blackhawks right as everyone turns their attention to the biggest White Sox game in 21 years!

RECAP: It may not have been the prettiest two points they'll win this season but they were the first two, which is good enough.

Tough giveaway from Lardis but feels like the defense could've been a little more aggressive when it's a 2-on-4

Second City Hockey @secondcityhockey.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
So far it feels like the bar of "being less bad than in the first three games" has been cleared

Plenty of candidates for areas on the ice where the Blackhawks struggled last week. We picked two of the bigger ones for a little film/tactial breakdown: www.secondcityhockey.com/chicago-blac...

Had this thought during the prior postseason and put some data together to support it, that the Hawks' youth movement might be *too* young. They have no top-six forwards who are of the age typically associated with a player's "prime" years.

And then a goal scored by the guy the Hawks traded away for a player they never committed to using properly and then allowed to walk away in free agency for nothing so he could average about 60 points a season in Washington!

Second City Hockey @secondcityhockey.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Think all 5 Hawks skaters were in the D zone there and they *still* couldn't break the puck out. The forwards flying the zone may be part of the issue here but right now this team just sucks at passing the puck to teammates.

Second City Hockey @secondcityhockey.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Nazar reads a pass and picks it off in the neutral zone. Awesome! One stride later, he misses on a 5-foot pass and the puck is turned over. Not awesome!

Not sure what's happened to Sam Rinzel but he just looks completely broken.
