The Hawks fate this year is more dependent on veterans coming to play every game than the young guys, and @ChrisBlock says it well.

This is some of the wildest shit I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been to a Santeria in Cuba. This dude missed weight, so his punishment was that he had to now fight HIS OPPONENT AND HIS OPPONENT’S FATHER in a 2 on 1 handicapped fight
Amadeusz Ferrari's dad serves justice for the weight miss, submitting Alan Kwieciński in the first round of the FAME 23 main event

I’ve had my disagreements with Uncle Al but this podcast is SO good. So many great discussions that make a bunch of sense. Take some time to listen.

As Chris noted here in painstaking detail, it strains credulity that Norm McIver assistant GM at the time, did not know about Haughton, MI's pending arrest of Aldrich, when Beach was transferred to Sweden. McIver was recently rehired. The rot continues.
September 2013 phone call tipped #Blackhawks off that Brad Aldrich was about to be arrested; days later the team loaned Kyle Beach to Sweden league thethirdmanin.com/2022/04/15…

Even if Rocky Wirtz is being truthful about his knowledge of Kyle Beach's allegations in 2010, it's important for him to explain why something John McDonough, others in management positions and even human resources knew about never reached his level: theathletic.com/2930140/2021…

This is mentioned in our book.
Feb 2016, Garret Ross was arrested/charged with felony revenge porn. The next day Rocky Wirtz made a rare trip to Rockford. Ross played on. Six weeks later when arrest made the news, #Blackhawks claimed to have no prior knowledge of it and suspended Ross. thethirdmanin.com/2021/11/02…

An important read from Chris about yet another Blackhawks scandal from the 2010s - one that didn't garner as much coverage and fell down the memory hole because the named player involved never made the NHL, perhaps.

New: The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, which licenses certified counsellors, has opened an investigation of "Doc" Jim Gary, who is not an actual doctor, and who allegedly told "John Doe 1" the sexual abuse he suffered was his own fault.
Jim Gary, the Blackhawks' mental skills coach, told investigators "he sometimes used what he regarded as juvenile sexual humor... to engage with the young male players in order to encourage them to receive mental skills coaching and counseling from him."

Great to see some familiar faces in the 300s. Even ran into the great @ChrisBlock on the way in. It's good to be back in the press box. @MarkLazerus & I still sit in different rows, as we have most of our 10 years on the beat, and communicate through Slack during the game.

Go listen to this for much more context on why you should be disgusted by the #Blackhawks org. Block always had phenomenal stories and this is no exception.

Want to make hockey better next season? Either @espn or @TurnerSportsPR needs to pick up @StephenNelson for PxP. That's the guy to get.
