Oliver Moore: Not the first person to make a bad decision on his 21st birthday

The first drill of the Blackhawks’ first practice under Anders Sorensen: Basic tape-to-tape passing

Whenever Levshunov seems to be slumping, he does something like this to show you what he's capable of:

The NHL's Hand Pass Controversy grows... Is this a hand pass?

Knight was frustrated with Levshunov after this miscommunication, you can see him gesturing before it cuts away:

Andre Burakovsky won’t play tomorrow and then TBD after that. Blashill said he thought this hit should’ve been a penalty because Burakovsky never really had possession. Bedard: “It’s back-to-back games of guys going right to the head… It’s bullshit.”

This Connor Bedard goal is potentially important positive development to come out of an awful game:

Extremely "future" goal: Levshunov to Bedard to Nazar

Oliver Moore said Nick Lardis drew up this play during the break before OT. “Lardy said he’s done it like six times in Brantford, so I’m gonna trust the 70-goal scorer.”

This play by Connor Bedard caught my eye. It would be huge if he’s able to be this effective on solo entries in actual games this season:

Ryan Greene's great vision is what makes him intriguing as a top-six option long-term despite not being a big scorer. Look at this pass!

Arvid Soderblom: “I feel confident, I feel calm, and that’s when you play your best — when you just go out there having fun and not really thinking too much.” He said this was his favorite of his 34 saves:

Preseason, schmeseason, whatever. This is one of the strangest go-ahead goals I’ve ever seen in the NHL:

The Blackhawks arrive at Wrigley Field coming off the Red Line:

Want to see a comical lack of effort from Philipp Kurashev?

Six points in the last four games for Frank Nazar, who didn't let the fumbled OT breakaway fluster him a minute before ripping in this OT winner. His mojo...seems to be back

The ovation to top all ovations for Patrick Kane. Not one, not two, but three laps. Goosebumps. Here’s the full video:

Right from the opening faceoff — where he ends up as the high man for some reason — through to the Penguins goal, this is a chaotic and baffling shift from Levshunov. (Reminder one shift is just one shift because I’m sure there will be some hot takes in the replies)

Connor Bedard: “I like how we stood up for each other. [We’re] not going to take any shit, even if they’re a little bigger.”

An ovation that never ends for Jonathan Toews:

Watch this ridiculously good defensive shift by Artyom Levshunov (and terrible shift by the rest of the Blackhawks):

Blackhawks #162 pick Anton Cumby (in white here) also seems pretty good at fighting
