Time for Patrick Kane to grow up

Time for Patrick Kane to grow up
Once again, Patrick Kane’s public drunkenness has brought embarrassment to his team, his family, his organization, and to the fans of the Chicago Blackhawks. Kane is not the only player who drinks.  But at some point, isn’t it time to grow up?  People keep making excuses for him.  ”He’s a 23 year old kid…I drank a lot back then!”... Read more »

Bowman had chances to improve Blackhawks

Bowman had chances to improve Blackhawks
As the hours, then the minutes before the NHL Trade Deadline ticked away, Hawks fans everywhere were getting more and more uneasy. “Would General Manager Stan Bowman make a move?” “The Hawks have so many holes…they need at least a defenseman and a center.” Well, with about an hour to go in the deadline, reports...

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 »

Hawks' depth keeps team rolling right along

Hawks' depth keeps team rolling right along
How do you write about a team that’s doing everything right? It seems like it would be easy, but it’s really not. You see, when a team is bad (like the Bears), there are so many things to nit pick, dissect, over analyze, and obsess about. With the Blackhawks, the biggest bit of controversy is... Read more »

So, how good are the Hawks?

So, how good are the Hawks?
The last two weeks in the history of the Chicago Blackhawks have been a roller coaster ride.  A big win in Vancouver was immediately forgotten after two embarrassing, blowout losses in Calgary (a 5-2 loss) and Edmonton (a 9-2 loss).  Then, the Hawks played their best game of the trip in San Jose, only to lose...

Healthy Hossa looking dominant again

Healthy Hossa looking dominant again
Maybe it’s all of the working out he does, but Marian Hossa looks like a new guy.  When the Blackhawks signed him in the summer of 2009, I was ecstatic.  Hossa was the final piece of the Stanley Cup puzzle, and it worked.  However, many fans became concerned with Hossa on the long term.  Before...

Toews is fans' choice to build a franchise

Toews is fans' choice to build a franchise
Over the last few weeks, TSN.ca, Canada’s answer to ESPN.com, has been running a promotion called “Franchise Faceoff”.  TSN was looking to see which player under the age of 23 fans would select to build a franchise.  Patrick Kane finished in the Fina Four, but in the end,Jonathan Toews beat out Steve Stamkos, and he should have. ...

Hatred Justified : Vancouver embarasses themselves, "their" game

image.attributes.post_excerpt
Looking back on it, the outcome of the game was wholly predictable.  Most Blackhawk fans (myself included), were rooting for the inevitable implosion of hockey’s most classless team, and once again, it happened.  The Boston Bruins won their first Stanley Cup since 1972, and while they were skating with the Cup, Vancouver fans were taking to the streets.   ...

Nothing but questions as Blackhawks hit All Star break

image.attributes.post_excerpt
For those of you who have been consumed with Bear mania, you may have missed what the Blackhawks have been doing this season. If one word comes to mind to describe the 2010-11 version of the defending champs, it would have to be “ordinary.”  There have been nights of good, and nights of bad, but... Read more »

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...
