Bernstein thinks he's the next Jay Marriotti. He won't own up to s***.

 

He is a poor man's Jay Mariotti for sure. It isn't about the content. It is about getting a reaction to the content.

Crawford was only with the Hawks for the second one. Antti Niemi was there for the first one.

 

And there's not a single ounce of regret for choosing Hjalmarsson over Niemi after that first Cup.

The Hawks reportedly trade Ben Smith to SJ for Andrew Desjardins. Big, physical C who can play W. 8pts, 50PIMS in 56 gms. 6'1 195.

Ben Smith has been traded to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for C Andrew Desjardins. Move clears #Blackhawks $750,000 in cap space.

Kind of sucks liked Smith.. But moves like this will need to be made if they want to resign Saad and they better!!

With Sharks retaining 50% of Desjardins' salary, the 'Hawks have freed up $1.125 million in cap space this season by shedding Smith.

Sharks retaining salary on Desjardins allows Hawks to keep Teravainen up

Every dollar counts nowadays. I wonder if this means Tuevo will find himself in the everyday lineup or not. Desjardins can play wing too, but the C spot is kind of set with Toews/Vermette/Richards/Kruger

Love the deal, especially since this means Teravainen is staying up.

Also it's a solid move, considering Smith had a 1.5 million cap hit for next year. Liked him, but he was a decent guy on the PK, and that was about it. Need all the room they can get.

And they need to get a little bigger and more physical.

Bowman meeting the media now. He's done for the day.

Vermette looks thrilled to be on this team, judging by his intermission interview. As a fan, that's really cool to see! I'm happy to have him here

 

And don't look now, but the Predators might finally be coming back to earth.

Other than the weather, I can't imagine there is much positive about playing for the Coyotes. Major breath of fresh air for him.

 

Ben Smith flew to SJ right after being traded, played last night and scored a goal and an assist, good for him.

The boys sure looked fired up last night. They owned the first two periods+ before cruising home the last 10 minutes or so.

I love Smith. He became one of my favorites after that 2011 Vancouver series. When he finally made the team for good, I was stoked. I thought for sure he'd be a big presence in our lineup, being able to contribute regularly. For whatever reason, it just didn't work this year... I don't exactly think there was a lack of chemistry on the 4th line... but it is sure strange that when Smith gets a new home, he finally scores, and without him on his line, Kruger finally scores.

But it's going to cut in to their segment time for Lebron and the games will air in place of some of their 20 hours of NFL programming a day.

Barry Melrose has a purpose again.

 

I will say, ESPN used to do awesome NHL games. Bill Clement and Gary Thorne were the bomb.

 

God, I was always so pissed when a Hawks home game was supposed to be on the Deuce and it got blacked out. Rot in hell, Bill Wirtz.

Teuvo to take a seat Friday night for Desjardins. Q has never met a tough guy he didn't like

Heh... against a skilled team no less. I don't mind that's it's only a game though (better than sitting against the Blues / Kings / Preds etc.), but this better not be a weekly thing screwing with this kid's development. Richards and Roszival (maybe even Hossa) need to be sitting more to stay fresh as a PO draw near.

This is funny.

 

ESPN CHICAGO -- Newly-acquired Chicago Blackhawks forward Andrew Desjardins got the pronunciation question out of the way first thing on Wednesday.

 

He pronounced it “Deh-zhahr-din”.

 

“Just because I don’t speak French, and I don’t want to confuse them,” Desjardins said on his first day with the Blackhawks since being acquired from the San Jose Sharks on Monday. “People that are going to try to speak French to me, so keep it as English pronunciation as possible.”

 

 

Up to the Hawks to win it tonight. None of this playing down to your competition nonsense. Edmonton is going to bring it tonight and the Hawks need to be on top of their game. Nashvilles dropped 5 in a row and St. Louis lost last night too. If the Hawks can get on a roll here... first in the division may still be possible.

If they didn't blow that 8-game homestand, they could be sitting pretty right now.
