Hashtag Monday: NHL Draft 2014

In last week’s edition of Hashtag Monday, we asked:

New prompt for Hashtag Monday! Who will the #Blackhawks pick in the first round of the NHL draft taking place later this week? #NHLDraft14
— Blackhawk Up (@Blackhawk_Up) June 23, 2014

There weren’t a lot of comments on that particular hashtag, but perhaps that had a bit to do with all the distraction around the Brandon Bollig move. [ICYHBLIAC – which stands for In Case You Have Been Living In A Cave – Bollig was dealt to Calgary in exchange for the #83 draft pick, which you can read more about here.] We did, however, have a great thread going where some longtime fans reminisced about the good old days:

@theLOVEofHAWKEY @philcoforde @BigDaddyWold Great teams and a great time to become a Hawks fan. Kind of makes you miss the Chicago Stadium!

Next week’s Hashtag Monday prompt(s) naturally deals with some pressing matters on Free Agent Eve:

Tomorrow is 7/1 - lots of moves likely to take place. What big personnel changes do you see taking place this week? #BlackhawksFreeAgency

Free agency starts tomorrow and there's no money left #SalaryCapBlues
