Blackhawk Down
Really good response after shitting the bed against the Blues.
Korchinski had his usual hiccups but I loved his assertiveness tonight.Korchinski, Phillips and Vlasic top three Hawks in D in ice time. Cautiously optimistic for the future of the blue line.
That's hockey. You should know that by now.Ugly advanced stats...Hawks Corsi For%= 33.1%...Jets 66.9%
For all those complaining about the refs, you better buckle up. There's an officiating shortage across North America. And the people they get to officiate are mostly terrible. Might be seeing some of the guys I know that ref at Johnny's in the NHL at some point. It's that bad.
Tripping?!?!?

I read that like Gaffigan saying ‘hot pocket’So many hotbpists.
A shame that two of the teams that should want to trade for a goalie have a “been there done that” with Mrazek mentality that will make it harder to sell to fans.Mrazek was outstanding.
Same issue across all other sports as well. Who wants to make relatively little money and have crazy people threatening to beat you up because they think you hate their team. Most people say “not worth it”Two of my kids ref. Last number I hear, IHOA (Ill hockey officiating assoc) is down like 350 refs
I was about to say something similar. It’s a big problem across all sports. I’m as guilty as the next guy giving some casual boos and normal complaints, but some people take it way too far and become borderline abusive. At ALL levels. I get secondhand embarrassment just watching refs/umpires get screamed at by parents of 10 year old soccer and baseball players.Same issue across all other sports as well.

I’m hoping he can be a good, dependable #5 who can PK well and you’re not sweating when he’s out there against opposing top lines. So far that looks quite doable.Phillips looks pretty damn solid after a rocky start. Not a ton of upside but I've always been a fan.
I think it more liekley we extend him for 2 years around the deadline. maybe something like 4 X 2? my guess is we dont extend anyone until closer to the deadline on the off chance somebody makes a offer we cant refuse.What would this team record be without Mrazek? I mean wow he has been fantastic all season
I agree, we need to keep him for a few years unless its an offer we can’t refuse. Goalies can go a long time, we don’t know what we have from youngsters (except for Soderblom who doesn’t look like an NHL goalie). A young goalie with promise can share duties with Mrazek for a few seasons.I think it more liekley we extend him for 2 years around the deadline. maybe something like 4 X 2? my guess is we dont extend anyone until closer to the deadline on the off chance somebody makes a offer we cant refuse.
I'm honestly surprised it was that close. It felt like the Jets had the puck the entire game.That's hockey. You should know that by now.
