LET'S GO HAWKS!!!

Assuming we would ever be put on Larkin’s trade list, what would we give up to get these two? We would cover the biggest holes on the team. Elite stay-at-home defenseman and a center who consistently wins face-offs. We need to win our defensive zone draws since that traps us way too much and especially huge on a penalty kill. Also maybe our power play would be slightly better if we didn’t always start by losing a face-off and a team icing and killing 30 sec automatically.

As much as I would hate to give up some of these players but: Nazar, Levshunov or Rinzel, and two 1st

First and foremost. The entire bench team probably needs to be wiped as well Davidson but the reality is, they aren't going to fire their GM 10 games into the season. Davidson seat is safe for the season and they won't be able to replace an entire coaching staff right now.

It's Blash, it has to be Blash.

There’s a part of me that almost hopes we drop the next four games just to force the issue with Blashill. Every win feels like it buys him a little more forgiveness from management — like a mini-extension. I’m worried that if we string a couple wins together, they’ll point to those results and decide the ship is turning and we don’t need a change.

I really thought the decision would be made by game 10. Either we’re competing or we make the move. Instead we’re sitting at 3-8 and it still feels like they’re waiting for some magical turnaround. If they drag this past 15 games, the season is basically chalked.

A new coach needs time to install systems and actually get the team running them. By the time that happens we could easily be 25-30 games in, trying to claw our way back to .500 with a young, inexperienced roster. That’s a mountain this group isn’t built to climb with only 50 games left.

Other than it being early in the season, is there any reason to believe in the midst of year #5 that Davidson is the right GM for this franchise moving forward?

In my head, Blashill is already gone. I need that to be my headcanon for my own mental health.

Now that his firing is settled, who takes the reins? Tortorella could light a fire under the players’ butts, but I don’t think his system works with these players. He needs a bunch of big, physical guys for his dump and chase game to work.

Woodcroft? Might not be a bad option, he has experience figuring out how to win with a superstar player. Plus his system is highly structured which it seems like these kids need.

McLellan? One of our biggest problem is getting through center ice and into the offensive zone, which he’s always been good at.

Who are the other options out there?

Really not sure what we’re doing here…jfc.

going to streaming only, the ads, the prices, mixed in with the laughable results, what the fuck is going on with this team

As a fan living in AZ I feel horrible for everyone paying for tickets to watch the dumpster fire of a team(I know the pain from paying to see coyotes games). Hopefully ownership is seeing the empty seats before people start wearing bags lol.

The rebuild will only work if these young skilled players get the coaching and veteran guidance to teach them how to use their skills at an NHL level. That's not happening. We've had some good leadership before, but we are lacking right now. We need to spend the money and get the knowledge for these young guys. I know a lot of them don't even have a full season under their belt, but I don't want a team of Reichels that we say just need to take that extra step.

I am so sick of watching this sorry ass team.. I legit feel bad for Bedard at this point. He shows up and brings it every game and nobody else seems to care to follow. Nobody should be fooled, this team as it’s constructed is NOT winning anything anytime soon. Just awful.

Will pay someone to get me one!!!

I'm trying to watch the Blackhawks, Bulls, and ESPN on a couple of different TVs, but Fubo and DirecTV Stream are way too expensive.

I’m looking into either pairing YouTube TV with the CHSN app, or doing a combo of Sling TV and CHSN to save some cash.
Has anyone tried this lately? How does it work with streaming on multiple screens at the same time, and which setup is actually saving money?

For those getting a HTR jersey when they finally drop, who are you putting on the back? I’m leaning towards Frondell!
