Blackhawks Place MacKenzie Entwistle On LTIR
On Tuesday morning, the Chicago Blackhawks announced forward MacKenzie Entwistle (left ankle) has been placed on long-term injured reserve. He will reportedly miss the next 4-6 weeks.
Entwistle, 22, has two goals and one assist in 12 games for the Hawks this season.
Bummer. Dude has heart and enough game to stick (and unlike floaters like Nylander, he actually earned a job).
I hope we leave Reichel down for awhile. The (too) early callup hurt Boqvist and arguably didn’t help Dach.
For once, let’s stay patient and properly develop what we have and put an end to general managership by impulse and shortcuts which was the hallmark of the thankfully departed one.
Tough break, thought it would’ve been a knee from the collision.
Well that’s a bummer, any word on Hagel??
Reichel played the last 2 seasons in Germanys top pro mens league. Doesn’t mean he is 100% ready for Nhl but certainly puts his development on different level than Dach and Boqvist coming into Nhl right out of juniors.
Hagel out tonight hope he his back Friday. More info tomorrow on his status. Borgstrom out tonight wiyh non covid illness. If keeps practice lines intact as much as possible, might see something like.
12. 77. 88
8. 19. 16/11
86. 17. 16/11
23. 22. 52
Ian – I hope Gaudette gets either Toews or Strome as his centre – give him a chance to show something with players not on 4th line
I guess they must have suspected either Borg or Entwistle or both would miss tonight so therefore the Johnson recall
I’d rather see Kurashev up in top 9 than Khaira but it probably won’t happen
Hawks need someone other than 12 or 88 to score- maybe Dach or Kub can break through tonight
Yeah Wrap wouldn’t mind seeing 23 19 8 and 86. 17. 11, with a 16. 22. 52 4th line, he could do that for sure. Says something after seeing him in Rfd. he didn’t recall Nylander doesn’t it.
I am worried that Borgstrom, who (I do not believe) ever returned to the line-up after being released from COVID protocol, may have long COVID symptoms. But I’m speculating. Does anyone have info on this?
Leave Lucas Reichel in the American hockey league for the entire season and let him develop.
One year from now Reichel will be more physically developed and much more ready to play in the nhl.
The Hawks rushed Dach and Boqvist to the NHL and we got to see both players get physically manhandled game in and game out.
Wrap, If this team is going to be competitive at all they need Toews,Kubalik,and Dach to make major dents in the score sheet each and every night. They are getting nothing from those guys point wise. Kubalik and Dach are not finishing their chances and Toews is not getting any quality scoring chances at this point of the season. Enough excuses,finish and light the lamp consistently. No reason for those 3 not to take control of shifts and games.
TW – totally agree with 19, 77 and 8 needing to up their offensive contributions
