Just when it seemed like things couldn’t get any worse, the last two weeks of Blackhawks hockey happened. The guys are back from the Christmas break and dive into the Hawks’ current slide. Jarom believes the team’s struggles without Connor Bedard highlight the need for roster changes this offseason, while Tanner argues that major changes aren’t necessary. They also discuss what the Hawks should do if they land the first overall pick this summer, and Tanner wraps things up with an in-depth Farm Report, including a look at the World Junior Championships.

On this week’s episode, the guys kick things off by breaking down the Quinn Hughes trade to Minnesota and what it could mean over the next year and a half for the Wild, Devils, and the rest of the league. From there, they shift gears into a recap of the past week’s games, including the tough loss of Connor Bedard to a shoulder injury. They discuss how big of an impact that injury could have on the team moving forward and what it might mean for Bedard’s Olympic aspirations. Jarom then puts Tanner on the spot, asking whether there should be any concern about this young roster and its lack of leadership experience. The episode wraps up with a mini Farm Report from Tanner.

The guys are back with another episode — and they’re kicking things off a little differently this week by trying to build the perfect mock trade to bring Quinn Hughes to Chicago. Along the way, they veer into plenty of side discussions, including Blackhawks prospects, Kyle Davidson’s work as GM, and some early Team Canada World Junior talk.

They eventually circle back to recap the week’s games: the unlucky loss to the Golden Knights, a solid win over the Kings, and… whatever that was against the Kings and Ducks. They wrap things up with a debate about the Olympics and why it’s ridiculous there’s any question about Celebrini or Bedard heading to Italy.

The guys are back to break down a roller-coaster week of Blackhawks hockey. From hard-fought battles to shaky goaltending from Soderblom — plus another appearance from a feisty Connor Bedard — this week had a little bit of everything. They also dive into the Laurent Brossoit situation and debate whether there’s a realistic path to keeping him around longer than expected. To wrap things up, they revisit last week’s Quinn Hughes take, and Jarom puts Tanner on the spot: what would he do if the Hawks landed both the first and second overall picks in next summer’s draft?

Happy Thanksgiving from the WCBP Crew!
The guys are back after a week that started off great, hit a speed bump, and somehow ended… not so bad. They break down all the games from the past week (skipping over Buffalo — we don’t talk about Buffalo) and dig into the many learning moments along the way.

They also get into the poorly executed launch of the Black jersey, featuring Jarom absolutely losing his mind for a bit. Tanner drops his Farm Report, and they wrap things up by looking ahead to Quinn Hughes coming to Chicago.

With a short week of games the guys open up the show talking about NHL Free agency and if the league would ever adopt NBA/MLB style contract options or if it just isn’t in the nature of NHL players to want those clauses. They then shift to recapping the games against the New Jersey Devils and the Toronto Maple Leafs and finally wrap things up with the latest Tanners Farm Report.

What a week it was for Hawks hockey. The guys break down the 3-0 finish to the long road trip and discuss how the team is defying all expectations and just playing some fun hockey.

They also talk the absolute heater Connor Bedard has been on over the last eight games, talk Spencer Knight and Bedards chances at making their respective national teams for the olympics, take a trip to Tanners Farm, and then wrap things up with a quick NHL Talk feature lots of Ovi and Ducks talk.

The Hawks were brought back down to earth a little bit so the guys break down the highs and lows from last weeks games. Despite the record Tanner is still happy with how this team is playing. They also discuss Connor Bedards play and compare him to where Patrick Kane was at through 163 games into his career and why people need to give Bedsy more credit. They wrap things up with 3 stars of the week, October recap, and as always Tanners Farm Report!
