On this week’s episode, the guys kick things off by breaking down the Quinn Hughes trade to Minnesota and what it could mean over the next year and a half for the Wild, Devils, and the rest of the league. From there, they shift gears into a recap of the past week’s games, including the tough loss of Connor Bedard to a shoulder injury. They discuss how big of an impact that injury could have on the team moving forward and what it might mean for Bedard’s Olympic aspirations. Jarom then puts Tanner on the spot, asking whether there should be any concern about this young roster and its lack of leadership experience. The episode wraps up with a mini Farm Report from Tanner.

The guys are back with another episode — and they’re kicking things off a little differently this week by trying to build the perfect mock trade to bring Quinn Hughes to Chicago. Along the way, they veer into plenty of side discussions, including Blackhawks prospects, Kyle Davidson’s work as GM, and some early Team Canada World Junior talk.
They eventually circle back to recap the week’s games: the unlucky loss to the Golden Knights, a solid win over the Kings, and… whatever that was against the Kings and Ducks. They wrap things up with a debate about the Olympics and why it’s ridiculous there’s any question about Celebrini or Bedard heading to Italy.

The guys are back to break down a roller-coaster week of Blackhawks hockey. From hard-fought battles to shaky goaltending from Soderblom — plus another appearance from a feisty Connor Bedard — this week had a little bit of everything. They also dive into the Laurent Brossoit situation and debate whether there’s a realistic path to keeping him around longer than expected. To wrap things up, they revisit last week’s Quinn Hughes take, and Jarom puts Tanner on the spot: what would he do if the Hawks landed both the first and second overall picks in next summer’s draft?

Happy Thanksgiving from the WCBP Crew!
The guys are back after a week that started off great, hit a speed bump, and somehow ended… not so bad. They break down all the games from the past week (skipping over Buffalo — we don’t talk about Buffalo) and dig into the many learning moments along the way.
They also get into the poorly executed launch of the Black jersey, featuring Jarom absolutely losing his mind for a bit. Tanner drops his Farm Report, and they wrap things up by looking ahead to Quinn Hughes coming to Chicago.

With a short week of games the guys open up the show talking about NHL Free agency and if the league would ever adopt NBA/MLB style contract options or if it just isn’t in the nature of NHL players to want those clauses. They then shift to recapping the games against the New Jersey Devils and the Toronto Maple Leafs and finally wrap things up with the latest Tanners Farm Report.

The Hawks were brought back down to earth a little bit so the guys break down the highs and lows from last weeks games. Despite the record Tanner is still happy with how this team is playing. They also discuss Connor Bedards play and compare him to where Patrick Kane was at through 163 games into his career and why people need to give Bedsy more credit. They wrap things up with 3 stars of the week, October recap, and as always Tanners Farm Report!

The Guys are back with a big episode. They open up the show talking about the Frank Nazar contract extension and how good this contract is going to look in the next season or two.
Then they are joined by Author Kirk McKnight who wrote books The Voices of Baseball and The Voices of Hockey. We deep dive into his passion for the game of hockey and what made him take an interest in the broadcasting side of the sport. We discuss the amazing broadcasters he interviewed for his book including Blackhawks Legend Pat Foley and current Hawks play by play man Rick Ball. He told the guys some of his favorite memories from the book and some of the stories that couldn’t get put in. They also discuss Patrick Kane and how happy he was that showtime came to his favorite team the Detroit Red Wings.

After a week off the guys are back for a quick episode to catch up on some Hawks new and a huge swing and miss from ChatGPT for season predictions.
Arvid Soderblom gets his next contract and the guys wonder how this will effect the game plan with this goalie group and who could be on their way out.
Ben Pope gives his early roster projects and the guys breakdown where they agree and disagree and even discuss more names that could see time this season in Chicago.
Connor Bedard gets the invite to Team Canada evaluation camp, can Bedsy make his way to the Olympics this February?
The Blackhawks announce their promo schedule (we are grasping for any Hawks news at this point)
Finally, Jarom ask ChatGPT to make predictions for the upcoming season and a more detailed look at the Chicago Blackhawks and lets just say, AI doesn’t know puck.

In a time of summer when news is light the guys still manage to put together a decent episode were they discuss Soderbloms spot with the team, minor signings, Foligno our captain, Blackhawk game grades, and Mount Rushmore of Stanley Cup Era Role Players.
(0:00) Intro
(3:27) Arvid Soderblom gets his arbitration hearing scheduled and the guys discuss what the ruling could be and if there is a chance they get a deal done before hand and avoid that nastiness.
(5:06) The guys discuss Louis Crevier and goaltender Stanislav Berezhnoy to two year deals. The latter leads to a discussion of the Hawks goaltending depth and that there could be some hard calls to be made down the line which is always a good thing.
(12:12) Nick Foligno played host to some of the younger Hawks in Sudbury and while the photos make him seem like a proud father, the guys talk about how important Foligno is to this team and developing the new culture in the Blackhawks locker room.
(18:07) Connor Bedard and Spencer Knight get named pretty high on a few NHL list. Tanner and Jarom argue if Spencer Knight was ripped off or if he was placed exactly where he belongs among goalies under 25 years old.
(23:22) The Hawks released the latest episode of Every Shift and because it revolved around the draft and development camp it only makes sense the guys take the time to complain about the draft process.
(27:21) The NHL Schedule is here so Jarom picked out a few Hawks games that seemed important and then the guys graded them on how must watch TV those games are. Tanner reads the list of NHL.com must see games and lets say there was a lot of disagreements from the guys on those.
(46:55) The guys wrap up the show picking their Mount Rushmore for Stanley Cup Era Role players

(0:00) Intro
(1:12) Anton Frondell is officially a Chicago Blackhawk as he has signed his entry level deal. The guys discuss why going back to Sweden and playing in the SHL is the better move for him. They also get very excited at some of the praise he has gotten from former Blackhawks Johnny Oduya and Marcus Kruger who make a big time player comparison.
(15:00) People continue to take shots at the Hawks and their rebuild plan and praise the Sharks who seem to be following the same plan as the Hawks. Tanner and Jarom take a deep dive look comparing the two organization and then go even deeper looking at Hawks prospects and compare them to other players and their development.
(44:15) The Hawks are on the big stage again as they will play the defending defending Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers.
(45:45) The guys discuss the new CBA and some of the changes that will go into effect starting the 2026/2027 NHL Season.
