Monday’s episode begins with a recap of the Chicago Blackhawks’ 3-2 overtime loss to the Nashville Predators, where they failed to secure a one-goal lead in the third period but earned a point for the eighth time in 11 games this month. Host Jack Bushman breaks down Connor Bedard’s highlight-reel goal, Nick Lardis playing well in a top-six role (shocking), and the difference between the Blackhawks not playing meaningful games during the home stretch of the season. Then, Bushman breaks down Anton Frondell’s SHL season ending, and when he’s expected to join the Blackhawks for his NHL debut. The episode concludes with an update on the Jack Pridham and Marek Vanacker OHL goal-scoring race. All that and more on Locked On Blackhawks. Part of the Locked On Podcast Network. Your Team.

QUESTION OF THE DAY — How Excited Are YOU About Anton Frondell's First NHL Look?
Hoping it’s one big step closer to being a night in, night out competitive hockey team once again.
Very excited hopefully Boisvert visa gets approved for him to join Frondell
Frondell is the most important prospect of the rebuild , we are short of top 6 forwards. If he can hold down a top 6 role we are in much better shape. Other than Mortone or maybe Hagans he seems like the right guy , pulling for him
Berakovsky better not be on the top line anymore , bench the slug !!
Blashill should be fired for allowing Berakovsky to ruin the Hawks by his horrible play !
It will be an insult to the fans if Burakovsky remains in the top six at this point. Blashill’s credibility is taking a hit. Really an unforced error. A shame.
Burakowsky is an offensive force… Unfortunately for the other team.
Burakovsky on the first line is absolute brain dead desicion making. 1 point in 26 games btw playing with Bedard 20 mins a game. It’s almost impossible to be that bad when u play that much and have Connor FUCKING BEDARD on your line
Artyom Levshunov just finished his first full years worth of 82 NHL action. 2 goals 28 assists 30 points at 20 yrs old. He has a plus/minus overall of -48. For comparison in 92 games Korchinski 6 goals, 11 assists 17 points -46 at 20 yrs old. Levshunov’s defensive play has slowly improved overall but as evidenced by last night overtime, he should’ve covered for Burakovsky’s bad play to try to prevent Nashville GWG. Hope he has a strong end of season and coaching staff continued to work on his development. He appears to be a bit of a slow learner but is willing to put in the work. Things don’t happen overnight BH are playing long game.
Go hawks.
Pre-draft reviews said Fondell was not that good in the transitioning game or carrying the puck into the zone however, he is excellent on the boards, retrieving pucks, shooting from close range at the dots, and net-front presence, PP specialist. He seems to be a natural winger. I don’t know why anybody’s talking about him being a center. I think he’d be excellent as Conner’s winger.
The good news would be the firing of the Kool-Aid Rebuild Salesman GM and replacing w Ken Holland or Dale Tallon.
That would also mean goodbye to that coach who has an 8 year losing record in the NHL as a head coach.
Frondell?
You really think another rookie is the solution?
Really?
Wow.
Remember that Boisvert and Frondell are the two draft picks we kept because we couldn't pull off the draft day trade for the 4th pick and pick Demidov. I'm hoping that Boisvert and Frondell will make us forget about Demidov.
Never in any situation ever ever ever again with all the young talent coming in should Barkoskie ever be on the ice in overtime?
I’d trade 55 for 7 cent and an old rubber band
