Random Icehogs/Blackhawks/Cubs thoughts that my wife occasionally sees on here and yells at me for

@penaltyk1ll @chxrrynightmxre @benoistsabrqms I think they value getting a team set in stone in a main market like Chicago. Sure the smaller arena is the “home” but I wouldn’t be surprised if the had a few higher profile games at the united center, the arena they’re playing in is owned by the Blackhawks after all.
English

@hogthought @chxrrynightmxre @benoistsabrqms I don't think they'd commit to that if it's only a temporary arrangement knowing they can draw larger crowds. they're better off shopping around the idea while prioritizing other markets where they can make a larger splash before locking down a more fitting venue in the future
English

@penaltyk1ll @chxrrynightmxre @benoistsabrqms Only options are the allstate arena, which the wolves probably won’t want to share and the arena in Hoffman estates (hour out of the city). The smaller arena was the smart option. It gets them in the city itself ASAP with low overhead costs and allows the time to find a new arena
English

@chxrrynightmxre @benoistsabrqms that's what I mean tho, to say this would be their primary venue with all those options (even if they were to split the games between venues like teams have in the past) doesn't make any sense for the league so I don't really trust the guy based on a vague piece of alleged info
English

@Tylert074 Yeah numbers wise you’d think that would be my main focus with these tweets as opposed to the forward group, but it’s not a bad little core to build on + any extra forward prospects they want to move (Hayes, Misiak, Ludwinski, Savoie) could be used to bring back D depth
English

@hogthought A month ago, I would have been skeptical about that blue line, but honestly, I don't think its all that bad. Wouldn't mind seeing mast back either
English

Harding, Furlong, Fitzgerald, Cumby and Pouliot on the blue line.
Jack@hogthought
So w/the Icehogs extending Jamie Engelbert, they now have: Engelbert, Boisvert, Seney, Toninato, Savoie, Van Acker, Spellacy, Mustard(?), Boucher, Mylymok, Hayes, Ludwinski and Misiak in line to return/join RFD next season. Possibly Kevin Lombardi as well.
English

@JustFightsss @hailey_salvian @jordynbtw Yeah, could just be temporary too. A way to get the team into the Chicago market ASAP and worry about a larger arena down the road. They know they’ll turn a profit in a 2k seat arena w/lower overhead
English

@hogthought @hailey_salvian @jordynbtw Yeah I understand it’s a lot harder than just adding another team, but just for the growth of the game feels weird to stick them in a 2k arena
English

@JustFightsss @hailey_salvian @jordynbtw Just depends on what the wording of the contract is between the wolves ownership and the village of Rosemont
English

@hogthought @hailey_salvian @jordynbtw Yeah ur right, but if im being honest they really shouldn’t have a choice
English

@JustFightsss @hailey_salvian @jordynbtw Wolves probably wouldn’t wanna split time with another pro team
English

@hailey_salvian @jordynbtw Why don’t these use the arena they use for the takeover tour games?
English

@hogthought Don’t tell nobody I asked where he was going he said Rockford so
English

@hogthought he told me he was going there so yeah should be fun
English

@Tylert074 Yeah that’s big too good point, if this was 10-15 years ago and the AHL was still vet-oriented I’d almost say he’s entering NHL 2-way contract territory with his play this year
English

@hogthought & he’s not a vet player which is huge imo (not that Rockford uses all their slots anyway)
English

Where has this been all year?!
Rockford IceHogs@goicehogs
LOMBO AGAIN!! 🚨 Hogs 2 - Griffins 0 | 10:05 left in the 1st
English

@Tylert074 Yeah have to, find a way to fit him in somewhere. He’s a Swiss Army knife in the lineup also
