Before I get a angry mob lol listen, this year we were supposed to see growth like Actual growth this year Bedard Kane All these guys bringing in Bowen byram and hopefully seeing Blash actually coach his ass off I wasn’t gonna expect playoffs but I at would’ve loved to see competent hockey and being competitive this season

Fast forward to right now we’re 3-8 (If I’m right) probably going to be 3-9 tmr because our coach has became the ghost of Matt Eberflus and is constantly being a lame duck out there every night in a weekly basis meanwhile our GM is just sitting around making moves (The wrong ones or too much overpays) and prospect hugging when this is the time to strike the window and actually build our team with competent Experince and the few good young bucks we have Kantserov, Frondell, Bedard, Kaiser, Levshunov

I think this team will eventually find the light and join the bulls Sox’s cubs and Bears in being relevant someday but let’s be frank if they can’t turn this around soon and Blash gets fired can Kyle get it right? Or is Danny gonna have to be looking for a GM again after next season?

Hopefully still allowed: I’ve done this once before but forgot to give away a pair of tickets and would like to throw them up here. Whoever claims them first can have them with the following restriction: you must go to the game and you must post a picture from the game back to the subreddit. Huge bonus if it’s your first game. Tickets are decent 300 level, they cannot be sold or transferred. Hopefully someone can have a great time.

Edit:
Tickets sent to MrRed1

Connor Bedard did whatever he wanted on the power play when he was playing with the Regina Pats in the WHL. He was anywhere and everywhere. He took care of entries. When he asked for the puck in the offensive zone, he got the puck. His teammates knew they’d get it back if he saw fit. It was his show, and it was a successful one; he produced 45 points, including 16 goals and 29 assists, on the power play in his final season in Regina.

That was never going to be the same in the NHL. Bedard has had to adjust in the NHL, from five-on-five to the power play, and has shown in his three-plus seasons he can figure out the NHL in a lot of ways. The power play appeared to be one of those areas two seasons ago. His 8.1 points per 60 minutes ranked 13th in the league. The Blackhawks had the seventh-best power play in the league that season, when Bedard was mostly on the power play with Seth Jones, Tyler Bertuzzi, Teuvo Teräväinen and Ryan Donato.

Bedard and the Blackhawks have trended in the other direction over the last two seasons. Bedard dropped to 5.23 points per 60 and the Blackhawks were 29th last season with a 16.9 percent success rate. In 11 games this season, Bedard is at 4.78 points per 60 and the Blackhawks have the league’s worst power play at 8.3 percent. (Bedard did miss the Blackhawks’ first six games due to injury.)

The Blackhawks’ power play woes were especially notable in their last two games, a 4-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens and a 3-2 loss to the Florida Panthers. The Blackhawks didn’t score on five power plays against the Canadiens and squandered seven power plays, including 1:28 of five-on-three time, against the Panthers. Both games were there for the Blackhawks’ taking, and both times their power play was a major reason for the loss.

Before we dive into the power play further, it is worth noting the Blackhawks have been without defenseman Bowen Byram, their power-play quarterback, for the last four games due to injury. He has also only played one game with Bedard, and in that one game, the power play scored on one of two chances against the Pittsburgh Penguins. What was different in the game, especially compared to the last two, was how quickly the puck moved and how often Bedard got the puck. On the opening power play, Byram passed it twice from the top of their power-play umbrella to Bedard on the left wing. Bedard struck a one-timer the first time. On the second time, Bedard quickly passed to Roman Kantserov in the bumper and Kantserov scored on a one-timer. The Blackhawks had their share of chances on the second power play of the game, too. So it is possible Byram’s return will be the magic cure for the Blackhawks’ power play. Time will tell.

Hey everyone, y’all were pretty helpful when I asked about a month ago on seating and now I’m ready to buy some tickets. And I’ve decided either between a low row 319 section or low row 210 section.

I’ve decided to catch the Maple Leafs vs Blackhawks and I’m pretty excited to see Kane and Bedard(hopefully he stays healthy). I’m just conflicted it’s a little less than $40 difference between the two sections $84 vs $122. And people say the 200s is just overall nicer but a better fan/crowd experience and view from the 300s plus this is centered whereas the 200s is near an endzone section.

This is my first hockey game ever and I’m really conflicted on which option I should go with here. If it was you what would you do? For $40 it feels like I should just do the 200s but I’m worried I might now see the court as well since it’s an endzone section.

Thanks for all your help and I will
Be there early like a lot of you suggested!

EDIT: after some realization that the Hawks will be on the other side twice I decided to splurge a little and go section 233 Row 3.
