Bruh have you tried the Kechup and Ramen yet

Honestly, I'm fine with Blashill right now. I mostly like the decisions he's making and the way he's managing the roster. I feel like making the third line a designated checking line was a big turning point; the team has played mostly decent hockey since then. Roles are better defined and the players are slotted more sensibly. As you're pointing out here, he's recently said that last year was always going to be a tough learning experience for the kids and this was the year where they'd be expected to really break out. I believe him when he says that and I like that he's rewarding their play this season. I believe Larkin and Athanasiou led all our forwards in TOI in the last game. The 2nd PP unit is being treated as the 1st unit, because they're producing and the other unit isn't. Etc.

5-2 for us.

Thought this post game interview with Blash was interesting. He talks about AA, Mantha, Larkin a lot, but specifically the part at 5:13 I thought would be interesting to everybody. Certainly a big criticism around here has been Blash's treatment of these young guys. But it seems that, to the coach, they've turned a corner and will be traeted differently. He says specifically around 5:45 (paraphrase)"The learned a lot of tough lessons last year...at some point...as they learned that, you got to let them go a little bit."

Last game set the bar too high

He could have a hat trick and more by now by how he's been playing. So many good chances. No Finnish.

Nyquist is going to have nightmares about this game. PP

Ye but Larkin earns his $$

The other forum i'm on is broadcasting talk radio of a French woman talking about bigfoot.

Mike Green is underratedly fast

Towes is a good player. If he keeps working hard he can definitely become Chicago's version of Kris Draper.

LGRW Time to dispense some more payback.

This explains why Holland believed re-acquiring Kyle Quincey was worth a first-round pick.

The important thing is you remembered.

Lol true. I know a lot of Sabre fans that expect way more from him tho, at least as far as being able to take over a game. They complain about his consistency and lack of effort in the defensive zone as well.

Hronek has 7 points through 12 games.

Am I the only one happy with Blashill so far this season? We've had a pretty decent start considering what was expected this season. Larkin is finally getting big minutes as 2C and excelling. Frk is being given every opportunity to excel offensively. Daley and Green are eating our biggest minutes on the blue line. The guys everyone loves to hate, like Glendening, Sheahan, and Ericsson, are getting very minimal minutes. I guess if you hate Abby you could moan about him still being in the Top6, but that's it. We've gotten most of what we asked for.
