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...

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...

Huet hands Red Wings two points

I’ve been holding back my opinion of the Hawks trade deadline since Wednesday.  I knew I was overly emotional about it, and didn’t want to say something in anger I didn’t truly believe. I had told everyone who listened that no matter what the organization said, they were pursuing a goaltender.  I was confident they... Read more »

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 »

Hawks, Wings rivalry picking up steam

Games like this are what make last night’s loss to San Jose so frustrating.  The Hawks played great all night Tuesday, and came up short.  Tonight, the Hawks were far from sharp but won the game, shutting out the Red Wings 3-0 on the back of Antti Niemi, who made 33 saves.  It was the...

Hawks dominate depleted Red Wings

The Blackhawks continued their winning ways Sunday night at the United Center.  As the Bears were throwing picks, the Hawks were scoring goals and simply dominating their biggest and oldest rival.  Gone are the days of “Let’s Go Red Wings” drowning out the cheers of Hawks fans.  In fact, Detroit fans hardly made a peep. ...

Time for Blackhawks to send Red Wings a message

Herb Brooks famously told his 1980 USA Hockey Team, “This is your time. Now go out there and take it.”  The Hawks are in position to do just that this season.  Instead of USA vs Russia, it’s Chicago vs Detroit.  The Hawks had been the doormat of the Western Conference for nearly a decade, while...

Personal feelings aside, Chelios is best American born player ever

So Chris Chelios has signed with the Chicago Wolves, in hopes of getting a shot with an NHL team desperate for an old, slow, has been defenseman. He’s old.  Really old.  He’s also a traitor.  He swore he’d never be a Red Wing.  He lied to you. He’s a jerk.  He flaunts the Cup in... Read more »

What a Difference a Save Makes

Tonight the Blackhawks suffered their first regulation loss of the season, and a chance to gain a 5 point lead in the standings on their main rival, falling 3-2 to the Detroit Red Wings.  The Hawks dominated for 40 or 60 minutes, and played even the other 20.  The difference was the goaltending…again.  Cristobal Huet...
