The Blackhawks took Thursday off, which was nice after a bustling week that will kick back into high gear with two games this weekend. The Red Wings visit the UC on Saturday before the Blackhawks play a “home” game against the Minnesota Wild in Milwaukee on Sunday. So let’s get ready to turn it back up a notch with game action coming.
There are some GREAT #CawlidgeHawkey Games for #Blackhawks fans to watch in Octoberhttps://t.co/2pkTs8aQkG pic.twitter.com/UhsExmmmao
“When you know, coming to the rink, exactly what your role is and what your job is, it takes the pressure off trying to find out what to do or how to be noticed. When your job is laid out for you and all you have to do is do your job, it helps everybody. Luke has done a great job with that.”

Kyle Davidson has a plan, and he’s not exactly being subtle about it. Given what’s waiting at the end of the draft lottery rainbow, it might be the right plan, even if you don’t have to like it. But with Petr Mrazek in net, nowhere near enough talent up front, and two franchise players being very politely asked to pack up their stuff and go, there’s no path to meaningful 2022-23 hockey here.
New: It's time for my annual attempt to figure out every NHL team. From the bottom-feeders to the middle-of-the-pack to the true contenders, and the eight teams I just can't figure out. Plus every team's offseason in six words. $1/monthhttps://t.co/8UmUlPYvMX

“Mitch spends a lot of time up at the blue line as it is. Obviously, the power play he plays up there quite a bit. So, it was just more natural for me to consider that because he’s done it at the NHL level. He’s run the power play from the top in a five-forward type of look in junior. So, he’s got lots of experience doing that.”
“I think that we're open to trying anything.” Why the Maple Leafs are toying with the idea of deploying Mitch Marner as a defenceman: https://t.co/umH1Yqf5ar pic.twitter.com/dGTYNds9gT
First day of waivers is today: among the names are Brad Hunt and Smallman (COL), Richard Panik (NYI) and Michael Carcone (ARIZ).
Carlos Correa definitely isn't going to give the Twins a new-home-town discount. https://t.co/8rsq1ENAyt
