What do you guys make of how Chicago is perceived around the league?

It feels like there's a negative stigma surrounding them example.

Butard has little to no respect by his peers with the media.

What else do you think the club needs to do in order to be taken seriously

and not just be perennial playoff contenders?

I think there's...

I think there's changed a little.

There's two...

I think there's maybe more than two,... I think there's... There's two... I think there's...

Well, maybe more than two, but there's at least two things that I've seen from more of a outsider national perspective when they are discussing the Hawks.

One is they've missed the playoffs the last, what, seven years. So they're in a perennial tank and Kyle Davidson doesn't know what he's doing and counter-Bradar needs help. And you need to go trade for this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy, sign this guy, sign this free agent, sign this free agent.

That shows a lack of understanding of what the Blackhawks are trying to do, what a rebuild actually is,

what they were doing before Kyle Davis got here, and also how the NHL is going to operate moving forward.

The other perspective is that people are coming around and seeing the corner turning for the Hawks.

And that started with that national broadcast of the Blues game, where they won 8 to 3,

Badard and Azar were on the post game, talking to the panel.

Like that started that like, oh, maybe we should look at the Blackhawks a little bit differently

because these guys are here.

They were getting better.

Badard's playing better.

Like that kind of turned that corner.

So I think there's some people that the perception is my head is in the sand and Chicago's bad until they make
