The thing that most excites me about the #blackhawks Hometown Remix jersey is that I have absolutely zero desire to spend any money and I need to be saving it.

loved seeing #blackhawks Bedard get on the board by getting in front of the net. Of course his insane wrister is awesome to watch, but if this team is turning anything around it needs to do more to be annoying/hard to play against, and that includes charging the net.

If the #blackhawks could stop missing the net, they'd have actually looked overall good this period despite being down a goal. Maybe it's just confirmation bias from frustration but it seems like they can't shoot on net to save their lives this year.

Puck has dropped. I'm sure #blackhawks paid / announced attendance will be higher but there are huge swaths of empty seats. I'd guess realistically 12k here?

My #blackhawks tickets didn't even sell for a paltry few bucks. I can't stay for the whole game, but I'm here for a short part of it now I guess. The @UnitedCenter is absolutely barren. Game hasn't started yet but the intro has, and this looks worse than the Jets game so far.

#blackhawks have had two 5 on 3 power plays and a 4 minute minor and have accomplished nothing at all. That is a new level of sad.

#blackhawks Knight has faced 3 breakaways in half a period. Woof. Lev missing assignment earlier is why it'd 1-1. Rough d.

I'm convinced that @Ticketmaster wrote their anti bot technology to block humans so that bots can inflate prices. How many times has your website seen me successfully buy tickets to and attend shows, ticketmaster? How the shit does this keep happening?

"my network" is the freaking cellular connection, to be clear. I tried signing out to sign back in again (showing I'm authentic) and now it blocks me from even signing in.

Is it just me or does it look like half of the #blackhawks team has the yips? I've never seen so many NHLers miss passes, whiff shots, fumble slow moving pucks as I've seen them do this season. All players do it occasionally, even the best, but this is frequent.

Great googly moogly...

I genuinely don't believe there were more than 12k there. In game presentation has gone downhill. Prices go up on tickets, beer, and food. They even want $12 each for a commemorative paper ticket! Season ticket holders keep having perks taken away, too. It's a mess.
Blackhawks attendance: 15,028 Smallest crowd of the Bedard era — technically the smallest since 3/28/2023. Rainy October weeknight vs. unappealing opponent are all factors. Still a bit worrying.

Game has started and there are massive swaths of empty seats for #blackhawks vs #jets. Are the seams finally cracking in what people will spend?

Lots of seats empty at @UnitedCenter even for #blackhawks Bedard debut as captain. Yikes.

Cool, we're back to all Chicago sports teams sucking again. Feels like home.

the #blackhawks powerplay looks a lot like the first 3 games and much of the 4th - so many godawful, off target, weak passes. this is a team that could instantly improve just by tightening that garbage up and it's maddening to watch.

#blackhawks home opener with Kane's return isn't even a sellout. Possibly due to dynamic pricing. These are NOT resale listings. @MarkLazerus @ByScottPowers yall know anything about this?
