Never heard of it and had to look it up. “It usually occurs as a sports injury due to overuse of the hip and leg muscles. It's particularly common in athletes who play sports like soccer or hockey that involve changing direction, kicking, or pivoting. Osteitis pubis can be treated, but recovery may take a long time” Is this endemic to hockey players but was just labeled differently before? Wasn't murph recently married? I know he recently proposed to a lovely looking gal. Perhaps his pubis isn't getting a chance to heal. |

Now that they are married, it'll heal very quickly. |

just take the season off and get right, Murph... Getting in a few games would be better if KD tries to move him this summer. |

I also doubt he attempts to trade him this summer, they'll want to keep him around to replace Tinordi or Megna next year. |

I also doubt he attempts to trade him this summer, they'll want to keep him around to replace Tinordi or Megna next year. Between Megna and Tinordi, I'd keep Megna. Next season they could start with Jones, Vlasic, KK, Murph, Kaiser, and bring up Del Mastro and/or Allan. They will still have Phillips and Crevier with the Hogs. I think the Hawks are going to be okay on D. |

I hope they don't keep either one of them. thank them for their service and give one of the youngsters a shot or spend some money on someone better. |

Keiser, Philips, and Crevier are all better. Hopefully, Del Mastro and Allan are better. Goals against is down from 22-23 season. |

If they draft a dman with their first pick they might be in the mix for a spot, so let those 3 go and have the younger guys fight for spots. |

some bullet points from a recent vlasic article in case the link won't work for some here. Despite facing the top players in the league every night — Nathan MacKinnon, Connor McDavid, Jason Robertson, Mark Schiefele and Kirill Kaprizov were among the 10 forwards with whom he spent the most time-on-ice — he allowed the fewest scoring chances per minute among Hawks defensemen.
He also was the only Hawks defenseman to finish above the NHL average in both clearances and exits with possession out of the defensive zone, per All Three Zones.
He’ll play alongside Jones for the U.S. team in the World Championships in Czechia next month. Then he’ll get to work on his summer training, hoping to continue getting stronger while also improving his shot.
Weight-wise, he entered this season at 218 pounds and finished it at 215. He’s aiming to enter next season weighing around 225 pounds.
“I know some guys...don’t feel great when they have a lot of muscle mass; you kind of feel clunky on the ice,” he said. “But I haven’t gotten to that point yet. I want to keep pushing myself and testing the limit — maybe it’s even 230 that I still feel the same on the ice with. [I’m] just trying to gain as much weight as possible and see where it takes me.

chicago.suntimes.com/blackhawks/2024/04/25/blackhawks-alex-vlasic-contract-nhl-free-agencyThose are impressive numbers on a bad team, and it's only going to help with their chemistry with him playing for the US team with Jones. And those weights goes to show you can't always go by certain sites numbers, one site still has him at 6'6" 198lbs, those are his draft numbers. When he signed his ELC and finished the season in Chicago he was 212lbs. On a 6'6" frame I think his goal of 230lbs is perfect, he'll still be mobile but much stronger. |
