The Hawks add depth with center Brendan Morrison
2012-01-28 17:47:00 The Chicago Blackhawks acquired a seasoned, tested, and versatile center today, when they traded minor-league defenseman Brian Connelly in exchange for Brendan Morrison of the Calgary Flames. A 14 year NHL veteran, Morrison seems like he just might be a pretty good fit. He is a top 6 guy, logs a good deal of PK... Read more »

Hawks drop preseason opener in Saskatoon
2011-09-21 16:31:00 Last night’s 4-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers will surely have a lot of Hawk fans panicked and confused this morning. “How can a Cup contender lose to doze bums?” “I don’t tink dis Jimmy Toews guy is any good.” “I can’t believe they let that soup guy leave!” Relax. The Hawks iced a lineup... Read more »
Hawks introduce Brunette and Carcillo
2011-08-08 23:15:00 Andrew Brunette and Daniel Carcillo, Hawks new acquisitions, were officially introduced to the media today. Brunette, LW 6’1″ 210lbs 37yrs old, said he chose the Hawks because of their reputation, heritage, and feels they have a great shot at another cup. Brunette, who played his last three seasons with the Minnesota Wild, looks forward to making the post...

2011-08-03 16:00:00 On Wednesday morning, the Chicago Blackhawks announced a five-year extension has been reached with forward Patrick Sharp. The deal reportedly has a $5.9M cap hit. The 2011 NHL All-Star Game MVP had one year left on his current deal, which had a $3.9M cap number. According to the release on the Hawks’ site: “Patrick is...

Bulls defense smothers the Hawks - Chicago is ECF bound
2011-05-13 06:00:00 Tom Thibodeau was about as upbeat as I've ever seen him in the post game press conference. That's because the Bulls threw out a defense that was absolutely extraordinary. Chicago clamped down on the Hawks in a way few teams ever clamp down on anyone.It wasn't matter of Atlanta missing shots. Atlanta had only a handful of good looks all game. The Bulls showed a lightning like double team, trapping anyone with the ball, but recovering to the open man too fast for Atlanta to do anything....
Bulls at Hawks at 7pm on ESPN - Closing time
2011-05-13 00:00:00 ESPN's bringing out the big guns tonight for the broadcast with Mike Tirico and Hubie Brown doing the play by play (seriously, Tirico is one of my favorite play by play guys, and Brown is one of the best in the business at adding analysis). Stuart Scott and my new best friend Jon Barry are doing the Kia NBA Countdown at 6:30. I've got tickets to game seven, but I'm hoping that I don't need to use them because the Bulls closed things out tonight. ...

Bulls vs Hawks 7pm on TNT - Must win
2011-05-10 22:40:00 In a close series, game five is typically the swing game. When knotted up 2-2, the game five winner almost always goes on to win the series. As such, tonight is a must win for both teams.Chicago has not played well against Atlanta thus far, they've only had one quality offensive night in four games, and they've only had a quality defensive night twice. They've made a pattern of giving the Hawks too much in transition while not shooting the ball well themselves....

Hawks drop Bulls to even series, how to solve the offensive woes?
2011-05-09 12:52:00 The Chicago Bulls fell to the Atlanta Hawks in game four. It was a must win for Atlanta and a 'like to win' for Chicago. Both teams generally played that way.The Hawks switched up their defensive strategy switching to a more physical, Indiana style defense on him, pressing him hard on the perimeter and no longer giving him the jump shot. Derrick Rose adjusted by moving the ball frequently, but still managed to hoist up 32 shots, only connecting on 12....

Bulls @ Hawks 7pm on TNT (Round 2, Game 4)
2011-05-08 20:00:00 The Chicago Bulls, led by an MVP performance by Derrick Rose, took back home court advantage on Friday with a complete dismantling of the Atlanta Hawks. As great and as important as that win was, it still only counts as one win in the series, and a loss today would put them right back in a tie for the series. As such, the Bulls aren't in 'must-win' mode, but a loss is going to let the series extend out much further than Chicago fans would like. ...

Atlanta Hawks just got MVP'd
2011-05-07 03:27:00 Maybe Jamal Crawford was discussing the March 11th game where the Bulls won by 18 when talking about the best punch. Yeah.. That's the ticket.Derrick Rose went for a new career high scoring 44 points on 16/27 shooting, 4/7 on threes, and 8/9 from beyond the arc more or less utterly annihilating Atlanta all night long. When Rose has his jumper going, the competition is in trouble. Rose got whatever he wanted all night long.Did Rose take Crawford's comments to heart? I doubt it. I think it was a combination of Rose simply being a bad ass as well as simply being due after a couple of relatively sub par games by his standards.Does this end concerns about the ankle? ...

Bulls vs Hawks 7pm on TNT - 6% of teams come back from 0-2
2011-05-04 12:46:00 An 0-2 deficit isn't an impossible hole to climb out of, but it's close enough that Chicago knows they certainly don't want to have to buck the odds. Start throwing around whatever cliches you want to describe the importance of this game, for Chicago, it's true. Losing to Atlanta would be a humiliating way to end an otherwise great season, so Chicago, who's only hit their A game once in the playoffs, better step it up....

Chicago Bulls-Atlanta Hawks: Eastern Conf Semis Preview
2011-05-02 18:07:00 Are you excited for the NBA Playoffs? Are you enthused to see your #1 seeded Chicago Bulls advance past the Indiana Pacers and meet the Atlanta Hawks in the next round? This is crunch time, the big time! Of course, this Monday, most of us are buzzing about something else. There was a news story of note released Sunday night. You might have seen a little blurb, a tiny snippet here and there in the media about it. And it's much bigger and more important than basketball. But moving back to the United Center. A series with a truly fascinating storyline: point guard battle between original mentor (Kirk Hinrich) and mentee (Derrick Rose) isn't actually going to happen after...
Rose Should Dominate With Hinrich 'Likely to Miss' Bulls-Hawks Se
2011-05-02 03:45:00 Kirk Hinrich reportedly "will likely miss" the Hawks' seven-game series against the Bulls. Without him, the Hawks will have no other choice than massive fouling without anyone able to stay in front of him.
Hawks Season May Be Over, but Dynasty Run Continues
2011-05-02 01:07:00 It was a sour finish to a sour season. The defending Stanley Cup Champions struggled all year, and needed help from the Wild on the final day of the season to get in to the playoffs, only to be sent home by the top-seeded Canucks. And although it was a disappointing finish, the Hawks are set to make championship runs in the future. The Hawks have all the ingredients to contend with guys like Toews, Kane, Hossa, and Keith on the roster. Corey Crawford has emerged as a star, as well, after his great play this post-season, and dominate performance in game seven. My optimism remains high with the amount of talent present, and next year will have expectations from...

Bulls-Hawks in the Semis- A Prophetic Picture
2011-04-29 04:31:00 The last time the Bulls played the Hawks was on March 22 in Atlanta, a game they won by a "comfortable margin", 114-81. Per the usual story line, Derrick led the way with 30 points and 10 assists, and he and his fellow starters sat out the entire 4th quarter. That game saw the Bulls claim sole position of the top seed in the Eastern Conference-a title they never relinquished. Hopefully that game, and this picture, are signs of what is to come. Well see starting Monday at the UC.

If Hawks win, party at Robson and Thurlow? Hawks-Canucks game six recap.
2011-04-25 08:21:00 Well, like my tortured analogy yesterday, this team is not dying easy. Three times Vancouver took the lead, three times the Hawks tied it and then came back to win in overtime. Could this have been scripted any more bizarre if someone tried? I don't know. But, let's hit it. For perhaps the first time this series, we saw playoff hockey. Both teams brought it and overall, I thought it was a very tight game despite one team or the other controlling for stretches at a time. Starting off, Vancouver scored early on a Hammer turnover that D. Sedin took around the net from Crow's right to his left and managed to sort of fling it in a way that it...

Hard cap or Bowman to blame for Hawks tumble?
2011-04-17 16:57:00 NY Post's Larry Brooks puts the blame on GM Stan Bowman for the Hawks taking a dip in the standings.Brooks says the hard cap is just an excuse for Bowman's misguided offseason moves.The biggest issue cited here is letting go of Antti Niemi to only turn around and sign Marty Turco, instead of keeping Andrew Ladd. Sure, Turco doesn't seem necessary now that Corey Crawford has taken the job.Bowman would have looked foolish however, if he would have started the season as defending champs with an unproven goalie.It's not the hard cap that's doing in the Blackhawks as much as the bizarre offseason decisions the front office made in coping with the situation. When GM Stan Bowman, the fellow believed responsible...

OK, now it's a must win for the Hawks
2011-04-06 16:50:00 Last night's overtime loss in Montreal will be memorable for a lot of reasons. It will be memorable for Corey Crawford, who returned home and stood on his head in front of his family and friends. It will be memorable for PK Subban, who's overtime winner clinched a playoff spot for the Habs, and it will be memorable for Jonathan Toews, who's overtime penalty put the Canadiens on the eventual winning powerplay (more on that later). Most of all, it may be memorable for the Blackhawks, because it could be the one point that got away...the one that costs them a playoff spot. Jonathan Toews and PK Subban battle for the puck in Montreal When every point matters, every...

Time to wake up the Hawks, Wings rivalry
2011-03-28 16:36:00 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 agents wanted to play there. Their players got all the calls. Worst of all, they, and their fans, couldn't have cared less about the Hawks or their fans. We were just another speedbump. The Wings were more concerned with the Avalanche. Now that the Hawks are on the Wings level, it's time for the rivalry to build up again. It matters now, for both teams...
Chicago Blackhawks Future: Projecting The 2011-12 Roster - Can The Hawks Af
2011-03-23 19:48:00 Now that Marcus Krüger has arrived in Chicago, it's worth taking a look at the perceived "trainwreck" of a salary cap situation facing the Chicago Blackhawks next year. Back in mid-January, we looked at some potential numbers for the Hawks next year. In late-February, we revisited the situation after Brent Seabrook got paid and updated future potential earnings for some of the restricted free agents. Let's take a serious look at the 2011-12 situation in Chicago.... |
