I like Frank Nazar. I'm not on a Nazar hate campaign. Players need to be held accountable. This team NEEDS him to lead and produce. His job is to be a top 5 player on this team. He has not been even close for 2 months.

And the "he's injured" excuse is not valid. If he's that hurt, SIT HIM. Put him on IR. They were never playoff bound. There is zero reason to play him hurt. Enough excuses.
Dug into Frank Nazar a bit.

His PDO is almost even.
xGF% at all-strengths is 516 of 653 (min 100 mins)
Since 10/28 21gms-0G-9A, Minus-12, 2.19 shots per gm

#Blackhawks need MUCH more. This is what comes with $6.5M per year 2C, my dude.

Time to step up.

I’m a huge Spencer Knight guy but you CANNOT kick that puck right back out in the slot like that. Absolutely cannot. #Blackhawks

Ben Johnson has the opportunity to become one of the most revered sports coaches in Chicago history and he’s doing a helluva job. #DaBears

Horseshit DBs tackling like wimps. Tackle like a fucking man, loser. #DawgPound
December 14, 2025 at 8:24 PM
Remember reports that Caleb Williams said he’d never want to play for #DaBears? #Bullshit

Nick Lardis is tied for second in hits with Colton Dach. Not what I expected from him. #Blackhawks

Honestly, I think Vancouver did really well based on the circumstances. I like Buium a lot.
December 13, 2025 at 1:48 AM
Well the #Blackhawks definitely kept the tougher Dach
December 13, 2025 at 1:37 AM
Well it’s going to suck to have to face Quinn Hughes more each season.

The #Blackhawks are not loving California, right now.

The #Blackhawks look like dog shit this weekend. They need a break.

HUGE Youth hockey gripe:

NO ONE teaches Centers how to properly approach a face-off. They jump on the ice and race to the dot as fast as possible with blinders on. That’s on the coaches. Responsible, aware centers are important on O/D zone face-offs.

Frondell playing for the Sweden WJC team. Kantserov a KHL all-star. Lardis on his way to an all-star selection. Gajan killing it at UMD. The #Blackhawks have a wealth of young riches on top of the kids currently in the league.

#Blackhawks fans:

What would you consider a REALISTIC, smart acquisition for the team? Keep in mind they will need to add parts, will have a ton of cap room, and lots of assets for trades. Good thing is that that already have “most” major pieces.

Bertuzzi just got mugged from behind in the Bertram zone. No call. #Blackhawks #CHIvsVGK

I love the way this Hawks team moves the puck on the power play. Quick.

Connor Bedard with his 4th point of the game. #Blackhawks.
November 30, 2025 at 11:08 PM
Connor Bedard all by himself. Puts the #Blackhawks up 4-3. Three points for the future captain of the Hawks.

Unfortunate for Petr Mrazek. Guy has battled back his entire career.
November 30, 2025 at 10:49 PM
Hawks luck out. Give up a terrible shorthanded goal and it gets wiped off the board for offsides. #Blackhawks

Colton Dach ties the game on the PP. #Blackhawks
