Blackhawks seek to build their own Frankenstein with lifetime guarantees
2009-11-18 19:51:00 If you are an athlete aged 25 to 30 and can't garner a 12 or 13-year contract from the Blackhawks, what kind of player are you? Just a no-account bum really, a run-of-the-mill mope without much of a long-term future. Certainly no one to waste time on. It would be nice to go back to the old days when pro athletes had to have off-season jobs to pay the family bills. Then we could have run into Patrick Kane working at Jiffy Lube, Johnny Toews selling us car insurance and Dustin Byfuglien flipping burgers when he felt like it. Alas, a new day has dawned and the Blackhawks are shedding either new light on the future of the NHL...
Blackhawks' Kopecky needs more naked aggression on circus trip
2009-11-17 20:02:00 Maybe Tomas Kopecky just needs to get away. Perhaps six games outside of Chicago will be just what the doctor ordered to cure that worrisome choking sound in his throat. Grinders frequently go unnoticed. They are supposed to blend in, sticking their beige necks out often enough that we only see a hint of red color in their cheeks as they huff and puff and try to blow their opponents down simply by hard work and unmatchable effort. The underappreciated Kopecky, on the other hand, has been noticeable in his first season as a Blackhawk by seeming to be in perpetual hesitation mode. Sometimes it looks as if someone is yanking his chain, directing his actions by remote control...
Seabrook OT goal caps Blackhawks comeback win
2009-11-16 05:32:00 Brent Seabrook capped a great comeback with a goal 41 seconds into overtime lifting the Chicago Blackhawks to a 4-3 win over the visiting San Jose Sharks. The Hawks faced a two goal deficit in the second period against the Western Conference leading Sharks that they erased with three unanswered tallies to win for the seventh consecutive time on home ice. The overtime loss extended San Jose's streak to twelve games with at least one point. It was the hard work of Hawks' captain Jonathan Toews that led to the gamewinner. While on the forecheck, Toews forced a turnover behind the Sharks' goal and fed a streaking Seabrook with a nice feed that the defenseman buried past...

Hockey etiquette for the new Blackhawks fan
2009-11-14 16:13:00 Last night, as I watched the Hawks beat the Maple Leafs from Section 308, I realized that the United Center is quickly becoming the new Wrigley Field (minus all the losing). A Blackhawks game has become the place you bring you clients, your kids, or spend your 21st birthday "woo-ing" and asking everyone to buy you drinks. With this in mind, I'd like to lay out a little instruction manual for all you new fans. They are simple little rules that will make the game more enjoyable for you, and the people around you who are actually there for the game. ...

Shooting the puck at the Blackhawks game tonight
2009-11-13 23:24:00 I am very excited today because I am shooting the puck at the Blackhawks game tonight. I'm thrilled to have another opportunity to be a part of an awesome tradition. How will I do you wonder? Well I will tell you that I have prepared for this just like I did for throwing out the 1st pitch at the Cubs game and White Sox game. I hope that the outcome is just as successful. Seeing as I have never hit a hockey puck before (well shouldn't say never, I think we played floor hockey in gym class, but does that really count? haha). I've been spending some time at Johnny's Ice House getting ready for the event. Learning how to...
$258 million reasons the Blackhawks have become sexy in this city
2009-11-12 21:01:00 These are certainly heady times for hockey in Chicago. We are living through a renaissance with a sport that was left for dead just a few short years back, making the rebirth more satisfying than ever for puckheads. Forbes Magazine is just out with the latest assessment of the worth of NHL clubs, and to nobody's surprise, the Blackhawks rank 7th in value at $258 million. This old ice house, despite skeletons galore, is coming on stronger than Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews together. Since Forbes set their franchise ceiling in 2007 at $179 million, and at $205 million in 2008 when it also praised the impact of new owner Rocky Wirtz's business acumen, you can see that their...
Blackhawks Weigh In On Sharpie's Sex Appeal
2009-11-12 20:34:00 A few weeks ago, the grand opening of the new Victoria's Secret store on Michigan Avenue drew in some high profile ribbon-cutters: Angels Marissa Miller, Doutzen Kroes and Miranda Kerr. While in town, Miller also helped Victoria's Secret announce the nominees for their "What's Sexy Now Chicago?" campaign. Chicagoans can cast their votes at VSChicago.com for everything from the city's sexiest bar to Chi-town's steamiest place to kiss. The most hotly contested of the bunch? Chicago's sexiest athlete. Nominated for the honor are the Bears' Brian Urlacher, the Hawks' Patrick Sharp and the Bulls' Derrick Rose. (Vicki's didn't seem interested in acknowledging the existence of female athletes in Chicago, but that's another discussion entirely.)...

Huet allows out-played Blackhawks to hang tough and win 3-2 in Colorado sho
2009-11-12 06:12:00 OK, let's get it out of the way early. Goalie Cristobal Huet won this game hands down. Or is that hands up? Even his much-maligned glove hand plucked this almost certain loss out of midair like a sleight of hand magician. If this doesn't instill him with confidence, nothing will. Huet should be a better goalie from here on because of how he pulled his team out of trouble time and again. Get it through your head, Cris. You can be good. You have been good. You can play much better. That's what has to be hammered home to him today. Patrick Sharp's shootout goal may have been the difference in a 3-2 Blackhawks' victory Wednesday night. But if not for...
Blackhawks' Dave Bolland To Undergo Back Surgery
2009-11-10 20:52:00 After practice Tuesday, Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville announced that center Dave Bolland, who missed the team's last two games with nagging back problems, will undergo surgery. Second-year star Kris Versteeg has stepped in to play center in Bolland's absence, and Patrick Sharp and Tomas Kopecky may also see time at center if needed. The timetable for Bolland's return will not be discussed until after the surgery is completed, but he is likely to miss at least two months....

Where are Jeremy Roenick and Chris Chelios?...
Blackhawks offense returns with Captain
2009-11-10 04:16:00 After missing 6 games with a concussion, Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews returned to the lineup, and his presence was immediately felt as the Hawks dethroned the Kings (see what I did there?) 4-1. In the 6 games Toews missed with a concussion, the Hawks scored a measly 12 goals. Tonight, they netted 4, including Toews' 2nd of the season. While the Hawks played decent without Toews (3-2-1), they clearly weren't the same. Something was missing. It wasn't tonight....
Toews & Eager Back In The Lineup For The Blackhawks
2009-11-09 23:34:00 Tonight when they take the ice against the LA Kings, the Chicago Blackhawks will welcome two very important players back into their lineup: Jonathan Toews and Ben Eager. Captain Toews has missed the last six games with a concussion, a stretch that saw the Hawks go 3-2-1 and saw their goal total drop from 31 in their first nine games to just 12 in their last six. Center Dave Bolland is sidelined with a back injury, so Toews' return is all the more crucial. Second-year forward Kris Versteeg will once again fill Bolland's place tonight against the Kings, while Toews will rejoin linemates Patrick Sharp and Dustin Byfuglien. ...
Blackhawks find the lamest way to lose
2009-11-07 16:35:00 Ah, the NHL shootout. The league's answers to all of their problems. "Do you see how excited the fans are during a shootout? They're all on their feet." The NHL believes that every fan loves the shootout based on the tension in the building. To me, they're way off base. The reason the fans are on their feet is because their team might win or lose based on one shot. It's a little more than luck, but a little less than skill. I'd call it a semi-educated guess. ...

Blackhawks knocked out by Avs in eighth round
2009-11-07 07:21:00 The Chicago Blackhawks gained a hard fought road point in an eight round shootout loss to the Colorado Avalanche. Tonight, I stray from my usual game story format and offer my random thoughts and observations: A rivalry appears to brewing between the Hawks and Avs. I wouldn't expect Colorado to remain at the top of the Western Conference standings for the length of the season, but the great start to their year has provided the upstart Avalanche with a surge in confidence. The Blackhawks started the game strong redeeming themselves after last night's dissapointing effort against the Coyotes. Yet, even down 2-0, the Avalanche showed a resilient effort in gaining a 3-2 lead during the second period. Like the...

Powerplay struggles continue in Blackhawks 3-1 loss to Coyotes
2009-11-06 06:52:00 The powerplay struggles continued for the Chicago Blackhawks as they lost to the Phoenix Coyotes 3-1 Thursday night. The Hawks were held scoreless on all six chances with the man advantage and the unit appeared lifeless in all but one of their powerplay opportunites. In order to win road games in the NHL, the powerplay must be successful. Tonight's matchup was the first of the Blackhawks eight road games in the month of November. The special teams unit better find the right switch to click or it's gonna be a long month in the dark. Cristobal Huet performed much like the rest of his mates after five days in between games - a little rusty. The Frenchman's play improved...
2nd round Blackhawks draft pick Dan Bertram leaves hockey: IceHogs
2009-11-05 04:16:00 by Kris GrayUpdate on Blackhawks' Prospect Dan Bertram. In the pre-season Dan Bertram, selected in the second round, 54th overall in the 2005 entry draft by the Chicago Blackhawks suffered an injury in a game against the Peoria Rivermen. At the start of the season he was assigned to the ECHL Toledo Walleyes, the Blackhawks' and IceHogs AA affiliate. Fans soon noticed that he was missing from the Walleye's roster. The AHL transactions had listed him as being added back onto the IceHogs roster on October 12th. According to the IceHogs Director of Communications, Chris Etheridge, "Dan Bertram is pursuing other activities outside of hockey. He is no longer on any team's roster". The exact reason for Bertrams sudden...

Blackhawks using their heads with Toews
2009-10-31 15:03:00 The phrase "give blood, play hockey" didn't come from nowhere. Hockey players, right or wrong, are the most willing to keep playing when they're hurt. From a 15 stitch gash in a players chin to a broken ankle held together simply by a tightly tied skate, players have put it all on the line for their sport. Jonathan Toews is that kind of player. On October 21st, he took a viscous, clean hit from Vancouver defenseman Willie Mitchell, and hasn't played since. The Hawks are calling it an "upper body injury." It's a concussion.Jonathan Toews and Adam BurishHave no doubts that Toews wants to play. If this was the playoffs, I bet he would be playing, but the Blackhawks organization...

Blackhawks powerless in shutout loss to Nashville
2009-10-30 05:22:00 The Chicago Blackhawks powerplay short circuited once again as they were shutout by the Nashville Predators 2-0 Thursday night in the Music City. The Hawks finished 0 for 5 with the man advantage and the Predators' Pekka Rinne stopped all 22 shots for his first shutout of the season. Rinne was good, but the Blackhawks took it easy on the Nashville goaltender. Too often opting for the fancy pass attempt, the Hawks bypassed numerous opportunities to shoot the puck on net. To their credit, the Predators defense collapsed on their goal quickly eliminating any sustained Blackhawks scoring chances. The Hawks never adjusted their offensive gameplan and therefore they were limited throughout the night. Even though he's saddled with the...

Blackhawks show Havlat what he's missing; Huet shines in beating Minne
2009-10-27 04:21:00 Martin Who? Martin Havlat is so far out of the picture it's a wonder anybody thought the Blackhawks may miss last season's team-leading scorer even a little bit, at least until Marian Hossa returns in a few weeks to take over the top offensive role. Havlat made an early run at goaltender Cristobal Huet Monday night, but Huet stopped him nicely. That set the tone for a strong first period from Huet, who allowed only a power-play score in the third period that kept him from recording a second straight shutout at United Center and putting to bed any conflicts between him and the fans. Nashville and the Wild are not offensive powerhouses, and yet Huet's 3-1 triumph against Minnesota (following his...

2009-10-25 05:17:00 Cristobal Huet turned the jeers to cheers Saturday night at the United Center earning his first shutout of the season as the Chicago Blackhawks defeated the Nashville Predators 2-0. Without the injured Jonathan Toews and Brent Seabrook, the Hawks turned to sixty minutes of effort to end a two-game losing streak. In stark contrast to their matchup earlier this month in Nashville, tonight's game was fast-paced as both clubs had a little pep in their step. Scoring chances were plentiful at both ends of the ice and the game featured some great hits including Dustin Byfuglien leveling ex-Blackhawks forward Steve Sullivan at the final horn. Both of the Blackhawks goals came in the second period and were the result...
Flippin' Sweet Blackhawks Commercial
2009-10-22 19:36:00 I'm sure by now everyone has seen the mind-blowingly rad trailer for the new movie version of Maurice Sendak's beloved children's book, Where The Wild Things Are. Inspirational statements like "Inside all of us is HOPE" and great sweeping shots of otherworldly landscapes and mysterious monsters are set to the backdrop of the perfectly fitting, totally kick-ass Arcade Fire song "Wake Up." Sometimes when something really awesome gets copied, the inferior parodies serve only to reinforce how well-done the original was. In the case of the Chicago Blackhawks' newest commrcial, the copy itself is a masterpiece in its own right. &-nbsp; The only way this promo gets better is if the man in the Wild Thing costume were Marty Havlat...
Eye-for-an-eye hockey culture blindsides Blackhawks in Vancouver loss
2009-10-22 19:05:00 I attended Loyola University for 3 1/2 years, but I only graduated from F. U. magna come loudly. Quite a few ignoramus graduates from F. U. So belligerent alumni meetings become a daily occurrence as we cross one another's paths in search of enlightment from people who were smart enough to avoid all the shit F. U. stands for and walk the straight and narrow. So I seek your guidance here. We now anxiously await breaking news, although hopefully not from an indecipherable Joel Quenneville, our own Doctor No. He could convey as much critical information if he spoke solely in mandarin Chinese in his post-game post mortems. In fact, I'd recommend it with that NHL initiative of going...
Blackhawks powerplay becoming a concern
2009-10-22 06:06:00 Wednesday night's 3-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks should not have been a loss. For the 4th time in this short season, the Hawks had an extended 5-on-3 powerplay. For the 4th time this season, they failed to register a goal. In the nuNHL, special teams have become perhaps the largest key in winning vs losing. Think of it like the turnover battle in a football game. The team that wins the turnover battle typically wins the game. ...
Skille takes another fall with Blackhawks; can small Ebbett rise to the occ
2009-10-20 19:31:00 If wannabe Jack Skille was pulling his weight for the Blackhawks, which would be that of a promising first-round draft pick from 2005, I don't think it would matter one bit that his salary cap hit was $1.25 million this season. If he was what the Blackhawks wanted and had them excited about his progression, he would still be in the NHL today and preparing for Wednesday night's game against Vancouver, not out of sight, out of mind in Rockford, stuck in the minors because he costs too much. Yes, they went cheaper by claiming center Andrew Ebbett from Anaheim on waivers and simply plugging him into Skille's recent role on the fourth line. Ebbett's salary cap hit is...
Blackhawks Stealing All The Buzz From Bulls
2009-10-19 23:30:00 There are two teams that call the United Center home.Both are at the start of a long 82-game season. Both have lost their leading scorer from last year (Ben Gordon and Martin Havlat) to a rival (the Pistons and the Wild). Both have stars who recently earned a Rookie of the Year win or nomination (Derrick Rose, Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane and Kris Versteeg). Both teams were ousted from last year's playoffs by their league's defending champion and both are widely considered just a few steps away from being their league's next champion. The two teams that share the United Center have a remarkable amount in common. So why is one team getting all the buzz?...
Huet in goal spells doom for Blackhawks
2009-10-18 18:00:00 Hurry, the Cristobal Huet costumes are going fast at your local Halloween store. Nothing will frighten a Blackhawks fan more than the sight of number 39 standing on their doorstep. I recommend pennies instead of candy to the masked man in the Blackhawks sweater. It would be nice to focus on something else other than Huet and his play in net. The positives from Saturday night's 4-3 loss to the Dallas Stars would include Jonathan Toews, Troy Brouwer and Niklas Hjalmarsson all notching their first goals of the season. The Blackhawks dominated play for stretches, including the entire first period. They also displayed great effort all the way to the final horn ending the game. Aside from Huet, other concerns...

Huet plays just "fine" as Blackhawks beat Nashville 3-1
2009-10-16 05:05:00 Let's talk about media and over-hyping. I was involved in that at times when I was a Chicago sportswriter. I was informed someone recently referred to me in an internet post as a douchebag hack. I have to tell you, it makes me warm and fuzzy all over to be remembered. You get involved with teams, you get close to some players and management and you sell their bill of goods. It's happened for decades and it's happening now. Payoffs? Well, it's not that blatant. But it's all the same. Some media are in the tank and swimming with the sharks, even if they have never been more than guppies. That's why the media is fed, parked, pampered and preened....
Blackhawks beat Oilers, spoil Khabibulin's spirited effort
2009-10-15 06:46:00 The Chicago Blackhawks 4-3 victory over the Edmonton Oilers Wednesday night at the United Center was a complete team victory. Antii Niemi was good when it counted and Patrick Sharp led the Hawks' strong offensive attack with a goal and an assist. While most Hawks fans focused on the home goal netminding, ex-Blackhawks goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin allowed the Oilers to keep the game competitive. The Blackhawks outshot the Oilers 30-10 through the first two periods and controlled the majority of the play. Khabibulin stopped a Sharp penalty shot, a Kris Versteeg short-handed breakaway attempt and a point blank one-timer from Patrick Kane to name a few of the many Blackhawks chances throughout the game. As good as Khabby performed...
The Blackhawks Cannot Win Big With Huet in Net
2009-10-13 08:00:00 Enthusiasm for the Chicago Blackhawks is at a fever pitch. And with the season underway and the Hawks roster loaded with outstanding talent, it is not a surprise that several national publications including Sports Illustrated are predicting a run at a Stanley Cup.However, after watching Huet play last season and the start of this season, and talking with a handful of excellent NHL sources, it is obvious to me that the Blackhawks have no chance to contend for a title if Huet is their #1 goaltender. He allows far too many soft goals, and he has no proven track record of success, which would allow a team to believe that he can turn around a shaky start to the season.Tonight's...
Blackhawks' tremendous 6-5 comeback win masks major problems in goal
2009-10-13 05:28:00 If there were more NHL games like this, there would be a few million more hockey fans. Who says there isn't enough offense in hockey? Not the Blackhawks, who crawled out of a 5-0 hole to win 6-5 in overtime against Calgary on Brent Seabrook's goal. The back story is that Cristobal Huet is finished as the starting goalie. Not even his mother would start him now. I gave peace a chance. To hell with that. Now I'm willing to declare war--again. Huet has to be out and Andy Niemi in as the starting goalie. Nothing else makes sense. Huet allowed the first three goals, while Niemi looked a little shaky after replacing him in the first period and giving up two more, but...

Blackhawks top Avalanche in OT shootout
2009-10-11 06:37:00 Andrew Ladd celebrates gamewinner Andrew Ladd scored in the ninth round of the overtime shootout to lift the Chicago Blackhawks to victory over the pesky Colorado Avalanche 4-3. The Hawks' home opener featured a little bit of everything and sent the nervous United Center crowd home happy. It wasn't always pretty, but the Blackhawks gained two important home ice points. The Avs, playing their second of a season-long seven game road trip, proved a little mightier than the preseason predictions of a last place finish in the Western Conference. Behind the strong goaltending of Park Ridge native Craig Anderson, the young Avalanche played a grind-it-out hockey game that was able to keep the Blackhawks off-balance most of the night....
Blackhawks, Huet fail Red Wings' test
2009-10-09 05:15:00 Anyone for a goaltender controversy? Christobal Huet did nothing to quiet his critics in the Detroit Red Wings 3-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks at Joe Louis Arena. Once again, the Hawks starting goalie was outplayed by his counterpart. Detroit's Chris Osgood stole the netminding spotlight on Thursday night in Detroit. With the score 1-1 in the second period, the puck bounced over Cam Barker's stick giving the Red Wings' Kris Draper a clear lane to the Hawks' net. Huet flinched first dropping to his knees and Draper beat the Frenchman high to the glove side for the the game-changing goal. After another puck squirted through Huet's legs allowing Johan Franzen an easy tap-in for a powerplay goal, the...

I made it through the Blackhawks 5k
2009-09-21 06:34:00 I successfully survived the Blackhawks Mad Dash to Madison 5k. I am extremely happy with the way I performed in the race. I ran with the Media team which included individuals from some of Chicago's Media outlets, to name a few; Amy Freeze, Jimmy Greenfield, Chris Sowers and Melissa McGurren. Everyone on the team did great. Chris Sowers suggested that I didn't start off too quickly so that I could make it all 3.1 miles. So I made sure to start with a good pace. However, by the time we hit the 3rd mile my knees were starting to hurt, my hips were getting tight and my hamstrings felt like they were going to detatch from my pelvis(I know, quite... |
