I guess Blake’s nickname is the Hawk.
It is. Mark Citron has nicknames for all the main players on the team. Think he’s said before that Blake is the Hawk because he swoops in at a moments notice to make plays.
A side note, Citron is the best hockey announcer that no one knows about. I’ve never seen an announcer that is so entertaining that he can do the play by play and analyst role well at the same time. It’d almost be a waste to have an analyst work beside him.
Back to Blake, he’s been great in the games I’ve seen. Reminds me a little of Sean Farrell, if you guys know his game. Blake has great hockey sense and good offensive skill. I think he has a good chance to be a second line winger, which for where he was picked would be the typical great Carolina mid round pick you guys are known for.
