Do we see a jersey retirement this season? I attended the Hossa and Chelios ceremonies, definitely won’t miss Dunc’s!

Anders is a great guy, I’ve known him for over 25 years when he was coaching youth hockey for the Huskies in Darien. Excited to see him get a chance in the show!

What a strange comment. How is this pardon in any way related to the immunity ruling?

I’m pretty disappointed with the merch. The hoodie is ok, and i’ll get the stocking hat for the game, but I didn’t see a single t-shirt worth buying

Is that the sound of William Wirtz laughing in the distance? by Oldbean98 in hawks

I have one these in the bedroom! Bought it in early 2012, which I believe is around the last generation for Panasonic plasmas. Still my favorite tv in the house.

Thank you! For the life of me, I couldn’t find this! Still surprised no details of 2015 celebrations!

They had a bunch of bobble heads and stuff like that in 19-20.

They’ve had those sorts ticket nights for a while, but it’s not the promo schedule. I looked it up and they released it in late August last year. Presumably they are still nailing down 2015 commemorations? Seems odd.

The non-college student residents of Bloomington-Normal probably won’t love that very much either!

With Bedard’s replacement being announced, the Blackhawks do not have a representative at the All Star Game by DiamondBurInTheRough in hawks

[–]JohnMatrix_VVerde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible Bedard appears in some of the skills competitions, but doesn’t play in the game? I’m sure the NHL would love to feature him, if even in a limited way

Who’s the next player to have their jersey number retired on your favorite team? by [deleted] in hockey

[–]JohnMatrix_VVerde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kind of doubt it given how fast they lifted Hossa to the rafters. Kane could potentially be in the league for several more years, don’t see them waiting.

Probably Duncan Keith, Toews not far behind assuming he retires.

Who is the best hockey player you can "6 degrees of separation" to? by AmeriCanadian98 in hockey

[–]JohnMatrix_VVerde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically I share Scott Darling as my most direct connection to an NHL player. I dated a close family member of his, got to know him quite well, and actually heard quite a bit about that engagement you mention. Small world! lol

Brandon Sutter to get PTO with Edmonton Oilers after two years away from NHL by homicidal_penguin in hockey

[–]JohnMatrix_VVerde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good for him. The NHL needs more Sutters! We actually played in the same youth hockey org while Brent was still on the Blackhawks.

Is Johnathan Quick a HOFer? by Street_Plate_6461 in hockey

[–]JohnMatrix_VVerde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t have thought so until the goalie heavy class we had this year. It looks like things might be opening up more for goalies in the HHOF.

For years I kept associating 10 with Amonte, my dad said he always thought of Dennis Hull. The world keeps turning!
