CBC Report : Blackhawks waive Salak
In February of the 2010-11 season, when the Blackhawks traded Jack Skille to the Florida Panthers to Michael Frolik and Alexander Salak, the team and fans thought they might have acquired their goaltender of the future. Now, just over a year later, it appears the Blackhawks have moved on. Multiple reports have the Blackhawks placing... Read more »
Blackhawks Offseason Mailbag Vol. 1
With things a little slow in Blackhawks land right now, I thought I’d take some time and answer a few email / facebook questions. I’ll try to do a few of these before the season begins, and one every month during the season. If you’d like to submit a question for the next edition, send... Read more »
Someone wake up Stan Bowman...panic time is now
Lifeless, listless, sackless. These are common themes of the Blachawks 2010-11 season. Last night’s game in Calgary, which was as close to a “must win” as you can get, was another example of the Hawks infection of suckitude. Something needs to change. It’s become clear that the Blackhawks, as currently constructed, aren’t a playoff team,... Read more »

Nothing but questions as Blackhawks hit All Star break
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 »
At halfway point, Hawks in need of a shakeup
Things were looking up for the Blackhawks two weeks ago. Four consecutive, convincing wins over the Red Wings, Kings, Predators and Blue Jackets had fans feeling better. Those feelings have been destroyed after the Hawks’ suffered their third straight loss last night, this time to the Anaheim Ducks. If you’ve been living in a cave... 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... Read more »

Hawks leaders must refocus and lead
What is wrong with the Blackhawks? The defending champs have looked ordinary at best this season, especially at home, where they are 4-5-0. Yes, there are injuries. Yes, there are new faces, but when do the excuses run out? While the chemistry is still developing, one of the main problems has been their apparent lack... Read more »
Skille has earned more and better ice time
When Jack Skille made the Blackhawks opening night roster, it had to be a relief. After being drafted 7th overall in 2005, he hadn’t been able to break the lineup. This season, he’s been the star of the Hawks 4th line, and is making a case for more important ice time. In his limited... Read more »

Recent moves have Hawk fans scratching their heads
First, it was the call up of Jassen Cullimore. Then it was the scratching of Jack Skille so John Scott could play forward. Now, it’s the demotion of Nick Leddy and the scratching of Viktor Stalberg. Jassen Cullimore and Nick Leddy celebrate with Patrick Kane and Patrick Sharp What are the Blackhawks thinking? I mean,... Read more »
