Looks like as expected it will be Palmieri and Parise today. Need a 2nd line left Defenseman too. At this point seems more likely a trade to get one

Someone care to catch me up on the vitriol toward the Blackhawks here? I mean, from those that aren’t Wings, Northstars, or Blues fans, anyway?

Front Office hate...and any dude that was throwing out gay slurs that still remains on the roster.

Are you French? WELCOME!

Feels weird being a Penguin fan as they are not involved in any of the action.
Anyway, there was this news posted:

Someone care to catch me up on the vitriol toward the Blackhawks here? I mean, from those that aren’t Wings, Northstars, or Blues fans, anyway?

in a nutshell:
Blackhawks video coach sexually assaulted a player.
management was apprised of the situation, and swept it under the rug
players further tormented the victim when they found out
blackhawks management wrote recommendation letter for video coach to work at a high school
video coach continued to assault people, including minors, i believe.

read up on Rick Westhead's reporting for more details

Unless Campbell regresses or is injured a lot again he's 10x better and should get the starts. In a contract year to boot (although so was Andersen lol).
