NHL, Shanahan drop the ball on Weber discipline

Thumbnail image for 'NHL, Shanahan drop the ball on Weber discipline '
Wednesday night, as the clock winded down on an exciting and physical Game 1 of the Detroit Red Wings / Nashville Predators series, Shea Weber lost his mind a little bit.  The Predators’ captain, who is one of the most respected players in the league, delivered one of the most blatant and intentional head shots...

Toews out tonight with upper body injury

Toews out tonight with upper body injury
Tonight, when the Blackhawks face off against the Detroit Red Wings, they’ll have to do so without their captain Jonathan Toews, who will miss at least this game with an upper body injury. For what it’s worth, the Blackhawks are saying this injury is not related to the wrist injury he rehabbed during the All... Read more »

Sharp out 3-4 weeks, Smith Recalled

Sharp out 3-4 weeks, Smith Recalled
Last night, Patrick Sharp gave the Blackhawks an early 2-0 lead over the Red Wings with a slap shot from the slot.  Unfortunately, it looks like that’s the last time he’ll light the lamp for the Hawks for quite a while. Joel Quenneville announced today that Sharp, the teams 3rd leading scorer, would miss 3-4... Read more »

Time to retire a Blackhawks tradition

Time to retire a Blackhawks tradition
I’ve been meaning to write this blog for a couple of years now, and I’ve never done it.  Maybe it’s because I participated, in earnest, so many times.  Maybe it’s because when I see the Winged Wheel on the Detroit sweaters, I just want to blurt it out.  Well, not anymore. It’s time to retire... Read more »

Time to wake up the Hawks, Wings rivalry

Remember when the Hawks sucked?  It wasn’t that long ago.  Back then, there was really only one thing to get excited about when the Hawks played…Red Wings games.  To the jealous and downtrodden Hawk fans of the 00′s, the Red Wings represented everything we all hated.  They won championships.  They were a good organization.  Free...

Traitor Chelios undeserving of Heritage Night

image.attributes.post_excerpt
Since Rocky Wirtz took over as Chairman of the Chicago Blackhawks, bad decisions have been rare.  From bringing back Pat Foley, hiring John McDonough, televising home games, launching the Blackhawks convention, and honoring former Hawks greats with heritage nights, the Hawks have been right on with their decisions.  Well, tonight, I think the Hawks have...

Hawks, hockey fans deserve better than Pierre McGuire

Before I begin my rip session, let me say a kind word or two about TSN and NBC’s Pierre McGuire.  As hockey insiders go, he’s one of the best.  Aside from TSN’s Bob McKenzie, McGuire is as good as anyone when it comes to trade rumors and behind the scenes knowledge.  With that said, I...

Hawks capture at least two seed, but points still matter

With last night’s 5-2 win over the Stars, the Hawks have guaranteed themselves, at worst, the second seed in the NHL playoffs, but don’t think that their three remaining games don’t matter.  If the playoffs began today, the Hawks would face off against the Detroit Red Wings in the first round of the playoffs.  That...

Niemi makes case for more starts in win over "Real" Red Wings

Now this is a win over the Red Wings Hawks fans can get behind.  Back in December, when the Hawks shutout the Red Wings in consecutive games, there was a bit of an empty feeling.  The Wings were playing severely short handed, and were really a shadow of themselves. Well, today’s 4-3 shootout win didn’t... Read more »
