Bowman must make a deal sooner than later

Bowman must make a deal sooner than later
Even with the Blackhawks’ nine game losing streak over, thanks to a 4-2 win in Madison Square Garden over the Rangers Thursday and a 6-1 win in Columbus Saturday, General Manager Stan Bowman would be wise to make a deal sooner than later. The NHL’s trade deadline is Monday, February 27th, but Friday, some of... Read more »

Time might be right for Blackhawks to make a move

Time might be right for Blackhawks to make a move
Stan Bowman isn’t the kind of GM that panics.  He’s never made a hasty trade “just to make one” like his predecessor made so many times.  All of his moves, be it a trade or a free agent signing, have been calculated and measured, but it’s starting to look like the Hawks need a shakeup. The Hawks... Read more »

Blackhawks Offseason Mailbag Vol. 1
With things a little slow in Blackhawks land right now, I thought I’d take some time and answer a few email / facebook questions.  I’ll try to do a few of these before the season begins, and one every month during the season.  If you’d like to submit a question for the next edition, send...

New Hawk Chris Campoli HAD a hot girlfriend

image.attributes.post_excerpt
When the Blackhawks traded for Ottawa’s Chris Campoli Monday, they ALMOST acquired some new eye candy for the United Center.  His ex-girlfriend, Gia Allemand, is attractive.  Apparently, they broke up last year.  Oh well.  It doesn’t really matter.  I’ll stop talking and get to the pics.  You’re welcome.   Not that it matters, but she was...

Someone wake up Stan Bowman...panic time is now

Lifeless, listless, sackless.  These are common themes of the Blachawks 2010-11 season.  Last night’s game in Calgary, which was as close to a “must win” as you can get, was another example of the Hawks infection of suckitude.  Something needs to change.  It’s become clear that the Blackhawks, as currently constructed, aren’t a playoff team...

These ain't your Blackhawk Cup Champs

With three minutes left in last night’s game in Colorado, the Blackhawks had a 5-4 lead over the Avalanche…and like that, it was gone.  Another blown lead from the defending Cup champs.  Another game spent chasing the opponent’s lead.  Another game that leaves Hawk fans searching for answers at the final horn.  The Hawks are...

Blackhawks sign former Oiler Fernando Pisani

Not 24 hours after I write the “Hawks are likely done dealing” blog, they make me look dumb and make another move.  According to TSN’s Ryan Rishaug, the Blackhawks have signed RW Fernando Pisani to a $500,000, one way contract. Pisani suffers from ulcerative colitis and has missed significant time while battling the disease.  His... Read more »

Tough offseason could finally be over for Hawk fans

Monday, the Blackhawks officially announced the one year re-signing of defenseman Nick Boynton, likely putting an end to the roller coaster ride that was the 2010 offseason.  The second the Blackhawks lifted the Stanley Cup, everyone knew there would be changes, but no one could have expected this. The combination of salary cap restrictions and... Read more »
