@ThatBroncoGuy94@BlackhawksTalks I love sodie. Was also a big supporter of his when he was in Rockford. He almost seems like a goalie that’s good down in the A but a fringe third in the show. There’s a lot of players like that and I believe that’s the mold he fits into
@AlCimaglia@ChicagoEggspay Again I agree. Can’t build a team that will have lasting success the way it’s going now. Have to get some additional proven pieces and let go of some upper echelon prospects to truly fill out a competitive roster night in and night out
@ChicagoEggspay@AlCimaglia A prime example of this is Lev. He should’ve played another full season at MSU and then play a full season in Rockford. A player like Mustard made the right call going back to Providence. Can’t rush guys. You’ll get the exceptions but it can’t be the norm
@ChicagoEggspay@AlCimaglia And that’s a totally fair point I’m not disagreeing at all. Do I see what GMKD is looking to build? Yes. Do I think there are A LOT more changes to be made and a better development system to be put in place? Absolutely
@AlCimaglia@ChicagoEggspay They should’ve competed to be perfectly honest and the first few weeks showed they were on the right track. Injuries and call ups derailed a lot of the season without bouncing back like many assumed they would
@ChicagoEggspay@AlCimaglia Well part of the reason Rockford has been abysmal for the most part this season is a) anyone that has legit skill upside got called up and b) Nightingale just doesn’t seem like the right coach to develop the young guns. It’s been infuriating to watch games lately
@OviClapBomb@korchyhawks Genuinely happy is is doing well because i would say 75% of the people I talked to in Rockford hated his guts for absolutely no reason other than they needed a scapegoat for a rough season
@cookieflash@PuckinHostile@TheRinkChi@TheRinkOfficial One goalie to kind of keep an eye on that’s already in the system (albeit between AHL/ECHL) is Owen Flores. Had a couple call ups to Rockford this year and had looked solid
@RobTheRescueGuy@BlackhawksFocus Not enough people are saying this. Yeah it didn’t start great but he got the dub. He’s very streaky to say the least hut I was very impressed with tonight
@TheMcMeddler@ByScottPowers You try stopping a tip from the slot through a screen. No one was even near Lee. So less on Arvid more on a defensive breakdown
@OviClapBomb@ByScottPowers You ain’t wrong about that. I just fist pumped in my cube at work with the Frondell post and I got so many weird looks but it was totally worth it
@Nvamps66@ByScottPowers I’ve always thought highly of Delly. I am glad Nolan Allan got traded because that freed up room for Del Mastro to come up and prove he belongs
@Nvamps66@ByScottPowers 100%. With his size and skating ability plus the VASTLY improved offensive abilities i would gladly extend him. He’s become a focal point on the blue line.
