On this episode of the Blackhawks Breakaway Podcast, Pat Boyle and Charlie Roumeliotis break down Chicago’s three-game losing streak and explain why Sunday’s 1–0 loss to the first-place Colorado Avalanche was still a step in the right direction. They also discuss Connor Bedard’s matchup against Nathan MacKinnon’s line with a member of Team Canada’s management group for the 2026 Olympics in attendance and weigh in on the questionable officiating we’ve seen lately.

Pat and Charlie react to NHL Insider Frank Seravalli’s latest reporting on Bedard’s contract negotiations and share their thoughts on the early projections. They also dive into the viral video of Bedard being swarmed by autograph-chasing resellers and defend Bedard in the process.

The guys wrap up the episode by offering three Blackhawks-themed things they’re thankful for.
