Blackhawks finally comment on Patrick Kane party photos
The Chicago Blackhawks finally made a public comment today on the Patrick Kane party photos that caused such an internet stir a couple weeks ago. Shocking no one, the organization said via GM Stan Bowman, that they are disappointed, and consider these photos to be really bad publicity. Thus ends the bizarre public silence on the matter. And by the matter I mean Kaner … [Read more...] about Blackhawks finally comment on Patrick Kane party photos
With Duncan Keith suspended, Blackhawks positive momentum gone?
The Chicago Blackhawks have been the National Hockey League’s (NHL’s) second hottest team, behind only the scintillatingly-hot Pittsburgh Penguins who have sported a 13-0-1 record recently. The Blackhawks have blistered their way up the NHL’s Western Conference standings at an 8-1-1 clip, including a recent 5-0-0 run, all of this being done without the services of their … [Read more...] about With Duncan Keith suspended, Blackhawks positive momentum gone?
Derrick Rose buys $2.7 million 84th floor condo; now neighbors with Patrick Kane
Talk about the top of the Chicago food chain. It seems Chicago Bulls franchise player Derrick Rose and his counterpart on the Blackhawks (although technically Jonathan Toews is the better/more important player) now live in the same building. And not just any building: Chicago's most recently built skyscraper of skyscrapers, Trump Tower. Rose just bought himself a $2.7 … [Read more...] about Derrick Rose buys $2.7 million 84th floor condo; now neighbors with Patrick Kane

Sunday’s Three Stars: Shaw, Stalberg Shine in Win Over Sharks
Patrick Sharp has been out of the Chicago Blackhawks' lineup for the past four games, but it hasn't slowed them down one bit. Buoyed by performances from guys up and down the roster, the Hawks have been scoring goals, playing solid defense, and most importantly, picking up points. This weekend was no different, as they got a point yesterday against the Detroit Red Wings, a team … [Read more...] about Sunday’s Three Stars: Shaw, Stalberg Shine in Win Over Sharks
Blackhawks’ Late Surge Gains Pity Point, But Wings Prevail
Some sporting events have momentum swings that seem to occur in nearly every minute of action, but the tilt between the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks was not one of those events. Through the first 40 minutes of Saturday afternoon's matinee between the Red Wings and Blackhawks, there was little doubt as to who the better team was on the ice. Sure, the Hawks got a … [Read more...] about Blackhawks’ Late Surge Gains Pity Point, But Wings Prevail
Sharp Out 3-4 Weeks; Is it Panic Time for Stan Bowman?
After going largely unscathed on the injury front for the first half of the season, the Chicago Blackhawks have been getting bitten by the bug in a big way in recent weeks. You have Marcus Kruger out with a concussion (although he is skating now and should be back soon), Daniel Carcillo down with a knee injury that he sustained on his incredibly stupid hit on Tom … [Read more...] about Sharp Out 3-4 Weeks; Is it Panic Time for Stan Bowman?
Blackhawks First Semester Report Card: Serious Cup Contender?
With Friday's 4-0 loss at the hands of the Colorado Avalanche, the Chicago Blackhawks reached the 41-game mark of their season, meaning that half their campaign has come to an end. While the old adage of "time flies when you're having fun" certainly can apply to a big chunk of those games, the same cannot be said about the way the Hawks ended this stretch of … [Read more...] about Blackhawks First Semester Report Card: Serious Cup Contender?
Coverage of Castro Accusations Sets Dangerous Precedent
On day that Cubs fans should be celebrating both the departure of Carlos Zambrano and the arrival of super prospect Anthony Rizzo (who was an instrumental part in the trade that sent Adrian Gonzalez to the Red Sox), instead the news cycle on the North Side has been dominated by a bombshell dropped earlier today. Starlin Castro, the star shortstop who has been touted as the next … [Read more...] about Coverage of Castro Accusations Sets Dangerous Precedent
