Thumbnail image for 'Shaw to face hearing for contact with Smith'
Monday, Blackhawks forward Andrew Shaw will face a disciplinary hearing for contact made with Phoenix goalie Mike Smith in the second period of Saturday night’s 3-2 OT win. As the video shows, Shaw was chasing the puck behind the net while Smith was handling the puck.  There was no elbow…no shoulder…just contact. The incredible “Oh... Read more »

Emery deserves shot as Hawks' starter

Emery deserves shot as Hawks' starter
In last night’s 8-4 loss to the “mighty” Edmonton Oilers, a lot of things went wrong for the Blackhawks.  Once again, the defense was standing around watching Oilers parked in front of the Hawks’ net.  When they did actually try do disrupt a play, it was with a weak poke check.  The forwards stopped backchecking...

So, how good are the Hawks?

Blackhawks in great position to advance on mentally weak Canucks

I’m guilty, you’re guilty.  We are all guilty.  We gave up on the Hawks after 3 games, because we thought the players gave up after game 82.  We were wrong, and here we are…game seven in Vancouver.    At this point, how can the Blackhawks lose?  The Vancouver Canucks are everything they’d proven to be...

Relax...the Blackhawks are still alive

Right now, Chicago hockey fans are panicked.  A 2-0 loss to the Vancouver Canucks has been amplified to a 7-0 blowout loss.  Please step off the ledge…the season isn’t over. The first period last night was a huge problem.  The Hawks had no answer for the Canucks’ onslaught.  It was men vs boys for 20... Read more »
