Do you guys realize amidst Edmonton's goalie problems, that Jack "Soup" Campbell, who was signed by Edmonton
I really hope they do so in Boston ! I love when the Garden gets silenced!BUT i think PANTHERS will close the book FRIDAY.
0I had thought the Bruins might be cooked tonight, but a strong game from Swayman and opportunistic goals stole them a game and sent the series back to Boston for game 6.
Swayman backs up vow as Bruins force Game 6
Boston goaltender Jeremy Swayman, who told reporters this week that the Bruins would stay alive in Game 5 and force a Game 6, made 28 saves as his club outlasted the Florida Panthers 2-1 in Game 5 of their NHL playoff series on Tuesday night.www.espn.com
Pickhard is just a mild salve on the wound that is the Oilers' goaltending, a wound that has been infected and treated for years but has not been healed. It's like a venereal disease. The organization has had a hard time getting rid of this problem.
There was a time when they had a great 2 man goalie tandem in Grant Fuhr and Andy Moog. Are you guys old enough to remember those guys? Ever since then, their defense and goaltending has mostly been shit.Yeah have too agree, they need defense and goaltending but pick up forwards year after year.
I fully agree. Biggest contender for the are Panthers, Dallas, Rangers and Canes, in that order!I am still not convinced on Vancouver.
Addressing our commitments with the Native American community:
Our organizational commitment to Native American communities extends beyond our walls. For more than a decade, the Chicago Blackhawks have worked to deepen relationships and align our efforts with our namesake Black Hawk's ancestral tribe, the Sac & Fox Nation, and other Native American communities. Presently, we engage five formal partners and more than 15 advisory relationships to help guide our programming. This work includes grant programs, collaborative exhibits and installations, language preservation projects, game day materials, our land acknowledgement and resources invested in identifying future opportunities.
As part of these collaborations, community leaders, elected council members and a formal advisory committee help establish our organization's priorities, regularly evaluating our collaborative action in support of the Native American people and their culture. We are as committed as ever to this partnership and look forward to sharing details on upcoming initiatives, their community impact and furthering the education of our fans and the general public.
In response to Ms. Sanders work contract with the Chicago Blackhawks:
From 2020 to 2023, Ms. Sanders assisted the Chicago Blackhawks Native American efforts as an independent contractor, one of many partners and advisors in a support function. As part of her role, Ms. Sanders was asked to support specific initiatives in partnership with the Sac & Fox Nation and other Native American communities. Although the Chicago Blackhawks valued the consulting relationship with Ms. Sanders, the organization had noted operational issues in her work, and had received feedback from external partners that they did not want to continue to work with her. As such, in June 2023, based on specific initiatives slated for the upcoming season, the organization made an effort to extend her contract, with very specific deliverables, commensurate with work and responsibilities needed. Although initially agreeable to the new terms, Ms. Sanders ultimately made the decision not to renew her contract and has not worked with the organization since.
After contract negotiations dissolved, Ms. Sanders shared her frustrations with the organization over the working relationship, and introduced noted allegations, none of which had been shared by Ms. Sanders at any time during her engagement with the Chicago Blackhawks. Notably, shortly prior to her contract ending, Ms. Sanders shared correspondence with Chicago Blackhawks executives, praising the organization for their efforts with Native American communities alongside the leaders responsible for that work.
As a point of clarity, the Chicago Blackhawks have had working relationships with members of the Sac & Fox Nation for more than 10 years. This relationship ultimately led to the formal partnership discussions with Sac & Fox Nation that began in 2020.
In response to harassment allegations made by Ms. Sanders:
The Chicago Blackhawks have a zero tolerance policy for misconduct and take allegations of harassment in the workplace very seriously. In response to Ms. Sanders' allegations, the organization immediately conducted a thorough investigation with the assistance of outside counsel, including interviews with internal and external parties, and review of pertinent materials and digital records. Based on the information available to us, we found insufficient evidence to substantiate her claims. Of note, the persons identified by Ms. Sanders in your question are not, and have never been, independent contractors with nor employees of the Chicago Blackhawks.
I fully agree. Biggest contender for the are Panthers, Dallas, Rangers and Canes, in that order!
