Noooooo
Welp, I’ve gone from hard for Bedard to big Weinie for Celebrini
Goodbye sweet prince
How many people can possibly be hurt on this team at the same time?
Also sucks cause these two have definitely been the most enjoyable Hawks to watch all season.
I’m pretty sure this guarantees were getting another really good draft pick
Well, fuck. Youngest all star in NHL history, and now that experience will be robbed because of a bullshit hit.
Why can’t we fucking have nice things
End me now (and the season).
Lmao I have tickets for tomorrows game because I had one chance to go see them this season… Fuck you Jersey…
You can still play with a fractured jaw, he’ll be out for a bit but not for like a looooooong time. Just gonna have to wear a bubble or one of those weird chin protectors
Well that sucks, my first ever Blackhawks game is the 13th game…fudge
The sucking for Macklin will ease this blow
I hate 2024 already.

Well, this team is going to be unwatchable for 6 weeks. Somehow the sharks still somehow manage to out-tank us.
It was fair hit and Bedard got really unlucky. Praying to god he’s back sooner than later but that’s the all star game gone
The only thing making the team watchable. Fuck
How long does a broken jaw take to heal
Do we have a hit out on Brendan Smith yet?
I’ve never seen a team in any pro sport with this many injury blows. I mean holy fuck
Fucking fuck it
I am pretty confident our current top 6 forwards and top 4 D wouldn’t make it into those positions on any other team. We are just an AHL team right now.
I hope Foligno broke that finger on smith’s face.
Get a fish bowl on Bedard.
Noooo! Not our baby boy! 🙁
Hoping he’ll be fine by the time the Wings fly in late Feb
I broke my jaw and had it wired shut. From the break until it was unwired was 4 weeks. I wasn’t doing contact sports at the time so I imagine this will be a 6 week recovery.
Going to be hilarious to see who we can even send to the All-Star game instead. Jason Dickinson doing rushes with McDavid and MacKinnon. Maybe Mrazek? Or for the luls, Seth Jones is back from injury and does a victory lap again at this All-Star game.
Luckily, the NHL season is very long. Sucks for people who bought tickets though.
As always, fuck New Jersey
This is Jason Dickinson’s team now
AHL team go!
In 1968, Bobby Hulled played with a fractured jaw. It was wired shut.
Oof, and they just announced that 98$ sale. They won’t be able to sell those seats for 98 cents now.
Well this means we get to see what some of the other young players can do in the interim.
LET’S GO WE’RE GETTING MACK DADDY
