Wow, what a bold statement.

The problem is that Bowman doesn't have a plan. It's been bad for a LONG time. There are red flags everywhere. The fact that not a single first round pick under Stan Bowman has been able to develop to a point where the Blackhawks were able to give them a second contract. How about how the Blackhawks haven't drafted and developed a defenseman that can play in the NHL since Nik Hjalmarsson. How about how you can say the same thing about the goaltending? How about how he traded a guy who plays good minutes for Buffalo (Jokiharju has been hurt, but he's a nice player) for guy who couldn't make an NHL roster out of camp even though the Blackhawks kept 15 forwards on the team. Danault traded for nothing. Saad for nothing. Forsling for nothing. Let Duclair walk for nothing. Teravainen as a fucking throw in because he had to get rid of another bad contract. It's been a fucking DECADE of bad moves and bad contracts. Stan Bowman somehow convinced Rocky and Danny that all these red flags and failures were someone else's fault. He probably flashes those Cup rings that were gifted to him by Mike Smith, Dale Tallon, and Joel Quenneville and the with his index finger points at the next guy to blame.

Didn't they have a front office shake up this past offseason? I am not sure he is fired unless his dad passes away.

By FO shake-up they mean a firing of those who Stan blamed for his own failure. None of it matters so long as Stan remains in charge of hockey ops.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

Stan never had an eye for talent, he just rode the wave of Tallon's scouting skills and players, who was a great scout but bad at paper work.

I don't meant to pat myself on the back, but I think I had the best hockey thought in board history, in that Dale Tallon deserved credit for all the rings over everyone else. It's a shame that so many knowledgeable Hawks fans failed to see it until now.

Really? I thought it was widely accepted that Tallon was the one that built that dynasty.
