Hawks re-sign Oduya, Mayers
Tuesday, the Blackhawks announced they have re-signed veteran defenseman Johnny Oduya and forward Jamal Mayers.

Series loss to Phoenix encapsulates 'Hawks season

Series loss to Phoenix encapsulates 'Hawks season
When you look back on it, the 2011-2012 Blackhawks season was a pretty forgettable one.  A terrible powerplay…a slightly less terrible penalty kill…a concussed captain, who was abused in a game vs San Jose while teammates looked on and did nothing…a nine game losing streak…9-2 and 8-4 losses to the Oilers…a front office member on...

Despite dramatic win, problems remain for Blackhawks

Despite dramatic win, problems remain for Blackhawks
I’m not trying to pee in your morning corn flakes.  Saturday night’s Blackhawk win was as exciting and memorable as any in recent memory.  Brent Seabrook’s game tier and Bryan Bickell’s OT winner will be fond memories for Hawks fans for years…especially if they go on to win this series, but we were all 5.5...

Rushing Toews back would be a mistake for Blackhawks

Rushing Toews back would be a mistake for Blackhawks
Yesterday, Jonathan Toews skated for the seventh consecutive day as he works his way back from concussion.  While Toews has yet to be cleared for contact, one can certainly see the light at the end of the tunnel.  Barring any setback, Toews could be back soon. With that in mind, the Hawks could find themselves... Read more »

Alex Burrows is a tool, and other random hockey thoughts
“I was saying Boo-itch” Sometimes I forget just how loathsome the Vancouver Canucks are.  Really.  I know I dislike them.  I know you, the reader, dislikes them.  I know every other team in the NHL dislikes them, but I forget sometimes.  Well, no one reminds me of that hatred like Alex Burrows.  You know Burrows…the hair pulling...
