  Offseason Drags On ~ Episode 377

  Aug 5, 202650 min

  The dog days of summer are here, and while the NHL offseason feels like it's dragging on, that isn't stopping the guys from talking Chicago Blackhawks hockey. First up, they break down everything from last week's Upper Deck Rookie Showcase, where Roman Kantserov quickly became a favorite among the Chicago media. They discuss his comments about Connor Bedard, Patrick Kane, Spencer Knight, and why so many people are excited about what he could bring to the organization. Next, the conversation shifts to Sacha Boisvert and what the best development path is for the talented prospect. Should he begin the season with the Blackhawks, or would spending time in Rockford better prepare him for long-term success? The guys also dive into the newly released Blackhawks promotional schedule, including the highly anticipated Centennial Game and the excitement of seeing Patrick Kane back in a Blackhawks Centennial jersey. Finally, Tanner wraps things up by breaking down the results of The Athletic's Blackhawks fan survey, highlighting several responses that may surprise even the most die-hard fans. All that and more on the latest episode of the Windy City Benders Podcast!

  Everything is Fine ~ Episode 374

  Jul 15, 20261h 12m

  The guys are back with another episode of the Windy City Benders Podcast, and this week the outlook is a lot more positive around the Chicago Blackhawks. They kick things off by discussing Connor Bedard's recent surgery and the expectation that he'll miss at least the first month of the season. While it's far from an ideal start, the guys explain why they don't believe the Blackhawks will be in nearly as much trouble as some fans are predicting. Instead, they look at it as a huge opportunity for the rest of the young core to step up, prove they belong, and silence some of the critics before Bedard returns. Next, they dive into NHL media's projected opening-night lineups and compare them to their own projected Blackhawks roster. From forward combinations to defensive pairings, they break down the biggest differences, debate who has the inside track on roster spots, and discuss which players could surprise heading into training camp. To wrap up the episode, they look at what Kyle Davidson could still have up his sleeve before the regular season begins. Are there more trades to be made? Is another veteran addition still possible? The guys discuss the remaining offseason possibilities and what moves could help shape the Blackhawks heading into the 2026-27 season.
