Its a brand new season of the Hawkey PuckCast for a brand new season of Blackhawks hockey. Tyler, Wally, Nick, and Jon are back to discuss the Blackhawks preseason and first 3 games of the regular season. We look at the Hawks that impressed during said preseason games, the Lukas Reichel situation, why Hawks Nation is so excited about AJ Spellacy, and why the Hawks look like a watchable team that is not technically watchable. We also take a look at the most promising Rockford Icehogs team in years and what they are capable of following a dominant Game 1 victory over the Griffins, plus a wrap up of the most impressive prospects in the system to begin the year.
