No Canada Like French Canada: Blackhawks vs. Canadiens Preview -
After a five-day break from hockey, the Chicago Blackhawks are back and host the Montreal Canadiens tonight at 7 p.m. Central. The Montreal Canadiens are off to a mixed start with a 4-3-2 record through nine games. Their 10 points place them 11th in a very tough Eastern Conference. The Canadiens’ minus-four goal differential (all strengths) isn’t ideal either. In their last game, the Canadiens lost 4-3 in overtime to the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday. They’re still one of the youngest teams in the NHL (slightly younger than the Hawks) with high aspirations of making another deep playoff run. Of the forwards, Nick Suzuki leads the team in points with 12 (5 G, 7 A), followed by Cole Caufield with eight (6 G, 2 A) and

Attitude déplacée: Jakub Dobes veut se sortir de Montréal -
Le dossier Jakub Dobeš prend une tournure de plus en plus inquiétante à Montréal. Après sa pénalité en prolongation et ses déclarations qui ont fait grincer des dents, le gardien tchèque se retrouve au centre d’une controverse qui dépasse largement une simple erreur sur la glace. Selon les informations et les commentaires qui circulent, la frustration grandirait au sein de l’organisation devant son attitude, son refus apparent d’assumer pleinement ses responsabilités et une arrogance qui commence à agacer sérieusement. « Je ne qualifierais pas ça d’erreur. C’est ce que mon instinct me disait de faire pour aider l’équipe. » Cette déclaration résume le problème. Dobeš a pris une décision coûteuse en prolongation, puis il a expliqué pourquoi il croyait avoir raison de la prendre. Son intention était peut-être d’aider le Canadien, mais une bonne intention ne transforme pas une mauvaise décision en bon jeu. À ce niveau, un gardien doit être capable de reconnaître qu’il a mal évalué un

Blackhawks vs. Canadiens — Lineups, Broadcast Info, Game Thread -
The Blackhawks host the Montreal Canadiens on a Friday night in Chicago. The Habs have big aspirations this year — like, they are talking championship. The Blackhawks have hopes of getting back into the playoff conversation. But neither team has played exceptionally well to start the season. The Canadiens are 1-1-1 away from Montreal, and don’t present the size issues that the Hawks have struggled against early this season. The Habs did not have a morning skate today and the Blackhawks’ skate was optional, so the lineups below are projected. We’ll know more when they hit the ice for warm-ups tonight. Ian Cole is set to appear in his 1,000th career regular-season game tonight as a member of the Blackhawks, a tremendous achievement for a physical defenseman. Broadcast Info

The Florida Panthers followed up a disppointing effort in Ottawa by laying another egg and not finding the back of the net in a 4-0 loss to Artūrs Šilovs (26 saves) and the Pittsbugh Penguins at PPG Paints Arena Pittsburgh opened the scoring at 15:19 of the first, courtesy of Nick Robertson who joined the rush after the Cats failed to gain the Penguins zone and took a pass from Connor Dewar and pulled off a nice curl and drag move on Uvis Balkinskis before beating Cooper Black. The secondary assist went to defenseman Kris Letang. The Panthers were dominating play to start the second, registering 10 of the first 13 shots, but they fell behind by two at 9:59 when Ville Koivunen took an entry pass from Evgeny Malkin and then crossed to Hendrix Lapierre to successfully complete a 3-on-2 counter that was started by Šilovs after he made a pad save on Balinskis.

Blackhawks Collector’s Sweet Spot: The Affordable Frank Nazar -
What makes collecting sports cards fun and exciting is having cards of your favorite player. I have a decent little collection of Steve Larmer cards, which likely comes as a shock to those who have followed me religiously tweeting #Retire28 for two decades. The Blackhawks might never retire his number, but I have some pretty sweet cards at home. I also have hundreds of unique Javier Báez cards from his time with the Cubs (and Mets… and a few Tigers…) that have admittedly not appreciated as much as my retirement would prefer. But I loved watching him as a player, and those cards are fun to look thru and remember his time in Chicago. That’s what it’s about, right? At the end of the day, some people rip packs to make money. Others rip packs hoping to find the player they cheer for the most. Which brings us to today’s thoughts on one of the bright young emerging stars on the Blackhawks: Frank Nazar

The Shamrock Jersey One of the most popular Chicago Blackhawks jerseys during the dynasty was the green “Shamrock” jersey. It was not uncommon to see a green Kane or Hossa wandering the concourse of the United Center in the 2010s. The green jerseys were loved by the city of Chicago, and starting in 2014, the team wore them in warmups every March in anticipation of St. Patrick’s Day. The move was well received by the Chicago community, home to one of the largest Irish American populations in the United States. Although they never appeared in games, many fans adopted them as their own sweater of choice.

It isn’t a shocking revelation to say the Blackhawks haven’t defending incredibly well early in the new season. And, on a Blackhawks blue line that doesn’t have a lot of physical players, the battle is to identify guys who can improve the overall situation. A couple of areas where the Blackhawks did a better job of helping and supporting their goaltenders last year was having a big, physical defenseman battling in front of the net and a smart veteran center doing the same. But Connor Murphy and Jason Dickinson are no longer on the roster. Veteran Ian Cole was brought in to replace some of what Murphy provided during his time in Chicago, and he’s done that. But the Blackhawks need more physicality on the back end as they work with four centers who are all 22 or younger.

But there were still some noteworthy items from the early stages of practice. So we’ll get some Blackhawks notes out the door early on a Monday afternoon, starting with a couple injury notes. Blackhawks Injury Updates Andrew Mangiapane was on the ice before the rest of the Blackhawks in a black no-contact jersey. #Blackhawks fwd Andrew Mangiapane is skating on his own before the rest of the t

Landeskog and Bedard, Toninato to Rockford, Roobroeck Again, and Other Blackhawks Bullets -
The Blackhawks got Sunday off to get ready for what could/should be a tough week of practices. After playing a tough, heavy slate to begin their 2026-27 season, the Hawks get a bye week with nothing on the schedule until the Montreal Canadiens visit the United Center on Friday. With a slow week, at least the Bears play on Thursday night to break things up for us a bit… right? We’ll still be at practice every day (except Wednesday — no practice) and look forward to an Original Six matchup at the end of the week. Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog dropped by to rip some packs with the King of the Kards and shared an incredible personal story (and photo) of him coaching Connor Bedard when the Blackhawks’ captain was eight years old.

More Practice Time, Kane’s Optimism, Hot Prospects, and Other Blackhawks Bullets -
The Blackhawks had a pretty tough practice on Monday, working on a lot of physical battles for about an hour. Head coach Jeff Blashill was vocal during the practice, too. The Blackhawks have had a tough schedule to start the season, but that doesn’t change the fact that they need to start winning games. And a lot of things need to get cleaned up for that to happen against a schedule that really doesn’t get much easier in the coming weeks. I chatted briefly with veteran defenseman Ian Cole after practice on Monday and asked if he was having any macro thoughts about Friday night being his 1,000th career regular-season game. He said he really isn’t right now because his singular focus is on getting the Blackhawks on track so they don’t get to Thanksgiving and the

Frank Nazar Has Been the Blackhawks’ Best, Most Consistent Forward -
The Blackhawks are struggling to produce consistent offense as a team thru nine games to start the new season. There have been some strong individual performances and stretches of play, but the Hawks spent most of the first six games trying to find the right mix up front before Connor Bedard joined the lineup. Though he missed two games because of a (questionable) suspension, one player has stood out as the Hawks’ most consistent offensive threat to date: Frank Nazar. Nazar is tied with rookie Roman Kantserov for the Blackhawks’ team lead with three goals to date. He has just one point on the power play (an assist) and has been relegated to the second unit with Kantserov taking over in the bumper role with the first group. Here’s where Nazar’s

Not There Yet, Frondell’s TOI, Korchinski’s Seat, Prospect Highlights, and Other Blackhawks Bullets -
My biggest takeaway from the past week boils down to a pretty simple reality: the Blackhawks can compete with the middle third of the NHL right now. They can beat some good teams; they’ve skated with and defeated the Blues, Penguins and Jets. All three of those teams is considered a playoff contender by most people. But the upper tier of teams — the Vegas, Dallas, Utah tier — is going to be a problem. The Blackhawks played two good games and earned wins against the Penguins and Jets, but presented very little the Stars had to worry about on Saturday night. Last night’s game was a veteran Dallas team putting on a clinic at the expense of the Blackhawks. Hopefully the Hawks take that tape and learn from it. The

Five Surprising Blackhawks Stats -
With almost a full week between games for the Blackhawks, and being slightly over ten percent of our way into the new season, why not have a little fun digging thru random stats from the early going. Here are five seemingly random stats that stand out in the early going for the Chicago Blackhawks. Kantserov the… Hitter? Rookie forward Roman Kantserov isn’t a big guy — he told us during training camp he’s around 185 pounds — but he doesn’t shy away from contact. Thru nine games, Kantserov ranks third among Blackhawks forwards in hits with 13 — behind bigger veterans Cole Smith (19) and Jordan Greenway (18). Kane the… Shot Blocker? Guess who leads all Blackhawks forwards in

Apparently the Blackhawks’ Size is Not a Big Problem -
Let’s chat about a couple interesting pieces from The Athletic on Tuesday that play off each other well from a Blackhawks perspective. The first from James Mirtle, in which he broke down the average age, height/weight and nationality of rosters around the league. I was somewhat surprised to see six teams — Anaheim, Buffalo, the Rangers, Calgary, Montreal and San Jose — are younger than the Blackhawks. Chicago’s average age is 26.7. We can thank Patrick Kane and Ian Cole for the roster not being younger. Anton Frondell is the seventh-youngest player in the league (as of the writing). The part of Mirtle’s analys

GM 9 Preview: Winnipeg Jets @ St. Louis Blues -
The Winnipeg Jets will be heading out on the road a bit shorthanded, as star defenseman Josh Morrissey and veteran forward Vladislav Namestnikov are both considered “week to week” with injuries. So far, management has only put #44 on the injured reserve list, which freed up a roster spot and allowed the True Northers to call up young prospect Brayden Yager from the Manitoba Moose. In other moves, Swedish defenseman Elias Salomonsson has been re-assigned to the minors for a rehab stint, while forward Walker Duehr has recovered from his training camp injury and will join the Moose if he clears waivers. And all of that is preceding some more needed roster moves, which will be required to make room for wayward netminder Connor Hellebuyck, whose suspension for not attending Winnipeg’s training camp will end as of Friday, October 23rd.

T McGee’s Halloween NHL Mock Draft | Scandinavian Delight -
Excitement! DBTB – Let me be honest: I am getting excited about this Class. There you go. Now you know. Will the Sabres have a 1st round pick this year? Will they wind up with more than one? Who can say? Nobody at this time last year thought they would be selecting at #4 overall AND #20, but that’s exactly what happened. So strange things can occur. Thus, I will continue to follow these young prospects, really more for my own entertainment, but also for you, DBTB, in the event you have a hankering for some junior hockey or are, like Casey Kasem before you, keeping your feet on the ground while reaching for (future) stars! Why, McGee? What makes you like this year’s class? Let’s get into it. First off, I think drafts are largely valued by how many first-line centers might be in the class.

Chicago Blackhawks Have No Answer as Dallas Stars Win, 4-0 -
The Chicago Blackhawks couldn’t crack Jake Oettinger, who stopped all 19 shots in a 4-0 Dallas Stars win Saturday at the United Center. This marks the second time Chicago has been shut out this season. Offensively Atrocious If it wasn’t for the Philadelphia Flyers, the Chicago Blackhawks would be the worst offense so far this season. While the Calgary Flames are awful too, the Hawks are underperforming for their projection. This season, the Chicago Blackhawks have not been able to find opportunities to shoot. Only one game, the October 15 win vs. Winnipeg, saw Chicago finish above the league average of 26.9 shots on goal. Chicago finished with 28. Three times this season, Chicago has finished below 20 shots on net. So what’s the issue? The passivity in the Chicago Blackhawks’ young defensemen st
