Summary
On this episode of the Blackhawks Breakaway Podcast, Pat Boyle and Charlie Roumeliotis break down the Blackhawks’ defensive-zone coverage tweaks and adjustments to their power-play zone entries as the team returns to practice and treats it like a mini training camp. They discuss why the changes were made and how the penalty kill’s aggressiveness helped play a role in the decision-making.They also dive into Kevin Korchinski’s call-up and the opportunity in front of him while Wyatt Kaiser recovers from a lower-body injury, and debate whether the Blackhawks should return to an 11-forward, seven-defensemen lineup coming out of the break.To wrap up, Pat and Charlie recap an electric Olympic men’s hockey quarterfinal round, highlighted by three of four games going to overtime. They break down Team Canada’s dramatic win over Czechia that nearly turned into an upset, Team USA’s gutsy victory over Sweden, and more.
