Summary
On this episode of the Blackhawks Breakaway Podcast, Pat Boyle and Charlie Roumeliotis break down Connor Bedard’s upper-body injury, which he suffered with 0.8 seconds left in St. Louis, and discuss the latest update that he will be sidelined through at least December. The guys examine the impact the injury will have on the Blackhawks, how it could affect Bedard’s chances of making Team Canada’s Olympic roster, and more. They also discuss Nick Lardis’ NHL debut and how he could help fill the offensive void in the meantime. Pat and Charlie also recap Laurent Brossoit’s AHL conditioning stint and discuss the plan moving forward after the Blackhawks placed him on waivers. Plus, they highlight Saturday’s memorable Centennial Celebration night, which featured the return of retired public address announcer Harvey Wittenberg, organist Frank Pellico, and soloist Wayne Messmer to help recreate the Chicago Stadium experience. And, of course, Patrick Kane was in town and put on a show in the first period.
