Pat and Charlie also recap Laurent Brossoit’s AHL conditioning stint and discuss the plan moving forward after the Blackhawks placed him on waivers. Plus, they highlight Saturday’s memorable Centennial Celebration night, which featured the return of retired public address announcer Harvey Wittenberg, organist Frank Pellico, and soloist Wayne Messmer to help recreate the Chicago Stadium experience. And, of course, Patrick Kane was in town and put on a show in the first period.

On this episode of the Blackhawks Breakaway Podcast, Pat Boyle and Charlie Roumeliotis break down the Blackhawks’ bounce-back 3-0 shutout win over the New York Rangers after a rough end to their four-game road trip, where they were outscored by a combined 12 goals in Los Angeles and Anaheim. Pat and Charlie discuss Spencer Knight’s 21-save shutout in front of Team USA head coach Mike Sullivan and make the case for his inclusion on Team USA’s 2026 Olympic roster. They also highlight another multi-point performance from Connor Bedard and explain why he deserves a spot on Team Canada — plus where they’d slot him in the lineup. The guys also debate the NHL’s hand-pass rule, weigh in on Sam Rinzel’s AHL assignment and why it was necessary, and look ahead to Patrick Kane’s pursuit of 500 career goals as he prepares to face Chicago on Saturday night at the United Center.
