Kane, Huet lead Hawks past Maple Leafs
2009-11-14 06:49:00 Forty minutes of solid hockey was enough for the Chicago Blackhawks to outlast the rebuilt Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2 Friday night before another sell-out United Center crowd and extend their victory streak at home to six games. The matchup between the two Original Six franchises was undecided until the final horn, but the Hawks thoroughly dominated the outclassed Leafs for the first two periods. If not for the outstanding effort by beleagured Leafs' goaltender Vesa Toskala, this one would have been over early. More focused on physical extracurriculars, the Maple Leafs were no match for the higher skilled Hawks. To the credit of Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville, his team refused to fall bait to the Leafs'...
The Hawks Took It To The Nuggets Last Night
2009-11-08 17:33:00 The Atlanta Hawks played like they should for the most part in last nights impressive 125-100 win over the Nuggets. They hustled on defense, didn't get too stagnant in their offensive sets and played a close to perfect first quarter. It was very refreshing. It's hard to come up with excuses for the poor performance when you're Denver, both teams were in the 2nd night of a back-to-back, they just didn't have any strong flow on either end of the floor.If Mike Woodson can get Josh Smith to play the way he did last night, I could become all right with him as a coach. Smith was not settling last night and he filled up the stat sheet, as usual. The important thing was that he took only one jump shot, which was wide open and he made it. He should only take at most three in a game. That's not his strong suit, he showed what is: taking slower guys off the dribble and scoring at the basket or getting to the free throw line (where he was solid, 6-8). To sum that up, play like that all the...
First Place Hawks Will Only Get Better
2009-11-05 20:32:00 It seems this season the NHL has been hit harder by injuries than ever before, and the Chicago Blackhawks haven't been immune. The team's biggest offseason acquisition, Marian Hossa, underwent shoulder surgery in July and has yet to suit up for a game. Enforcer Adam Burish tore his ACL in a preseason game and isn't expected back until April. Team captain Jonathan Toews has missed the last four contests after taking a brutal open ice hit on October 21 and winger Ben Eager has missed the last 11 games with a concussion....
Youth is served as Kane, Versteeg energize Hawks to a 3-2 win
2009-11-01 05:03:00 Patrick Kane sometimes is overshadowed by Jonathan Toews. Some people like to claim Toews will eventually be the one that emerges as the better player. I'm not one of those people. I hate to hang the Jerry Lewis label on him. But Lewis got the laughs while Dean Martin performed the smooth setup, and more people remember Lewis today than straight-man Martin. I'm afraid that's how it going to be with Kane and Toews. Nothing wrong with being Martin. Toews can look forward to being a ladies man like Dean, but Kane is going to get all the laughs--and I would guess all the best-looking women, too, who like to run wild. Toews looks like the marrying kind. Kane looks like...
Hawks role players picking up slack
2009-10-27 02:58:00 The difference between a good team and a great team is very slim. With Jonathan Toews and Brent Seabrook out of the Blackhawks lineup, the Hawks have continued to play well, but how? Depth is the main reason. Players like Troy Brouwer, Dustin Byfuglien, Andrew Ladd, Brent Sopel, Tomas Kopecky, and John Madden have picked up the slack. ...
Shorthanded Hawks take down boring Predators 2-0
2009-10-25 05:12:00 I've had a hockey theory for a long time. The worse your opponent is, the harder it is to play entertaining hockey. The Nashville Predators are bad. I mean, Cristobal Huet shut them out tonight. The Hawks played without Jonathan Toews and Brent Seabrook, who were both out with the dreaded "upper body injury". They didn't need them. Dustin Byfuglien and Andrew Ladd scored :54 apart, and the Hawks cruised to a 2-0 victory. The game lacked pacing. It lacked crisp passing. It lacked, well...entertainment. ...-
Toews, Seabrook out of Hawks lineup vs. Predators
2009-10-24 20:57:00 Jonathan Toews and Brent Seabrook will not play tonight as the Chicago Blackhawks host the Nashville Predators at the United Center. Both players were injured in the Hawks loss on Wednesday and are believed to be sufferring from concussion-like symptoms. In a related move, Jake Dowell was recalled from the Rockford Ice Hogs today and is expected to skate on the Hawks fourth line tonight. Dowell has appeared in 20 NHL regular season games with the Blackhawks over the past two seasons. Expect newly acquired Andrew Ebbett to center one of the Hawks top two lines. I foresee a trio of Ebbett, Patrick Sharp and Kris Versteeg. Steeger has been skating on the third line recently, but I think Coach...
Hawks, Toews KO'd by the Canucks
2009-10-22 06:33:00 This one hurts a little bit. The Vancouver Canucks, seeking "redemption" after last season's playoff loss to the Chicago Blackhawks, beat the Hawks 3-2 at the United Center Wednesday night. The physical contest was decided on special teams as the Blackhawks continued their power outage and the slumping Canucks powerplay broke an 0 for 11 slump. The loss will sting a little more for the Hawks if the injuries sustained by Jonathan Toews and Brent Seabrook linger into upcoming games. Toews' injury may be the most severe as he was blindsided by a shoulder hit by the Canucks Willie Mitchell at center ice. The ever enlightening Joel Quenneville would only describe it as an upper body injury, however Toews...
Hawks can't overcome more Huet softies
2009-10-18 05:02:00 Is this story getting repetitive? The Hawks dominated much of Saturday night's 4-3 loss to the Dallas Stars. Cristobal Huet let in two more bad goals, and it spelled doom for the Blackhawks. The first soft goal was an unscreened, long range slap shot from Toby Peterson that beat Huet short glove side, giving the Stars a 3-1 lead in the 2nd. Eddie Olczyk commented that Huet's glove seemed to be "velcroed to his pads." The second softy, and eventual game winner, occurred in the 3rd period, when Dallas defenseman Stephane Robidas dumped a puck that hit a partition in the glass, and bounced over Huet's glove and in. 4-2 Stars....
Losing isn't everything; let's give peace a chance with Hawks, Hu
2009-10-09 18:10:00 If President Obama can win the Nobel Peace Prize, so can I. I'm sociopathic rather than a socialist, but that shouldn't disqualify me. That was a pretty nice 3-2 loss for the Blackhawks Thursday night in Detroit. No, I mean it. I'm serious here. Some encouraging stuff overall. Don't be making faces at me. I can see you through this screen. I'm being honest, which I do so infrequently it may seem odd, I know. They did a lot of good things. Played hard for the most part. Battled to the end. They won't lose this well all season. A very solid failure for early October. Plus, Detroit didn't look all that imposing. You can see the Red Wings...
Early Opportunity : Hawks and Wings Renew Rivalry in Detroit
2009-10-09 01:10:00 To say it's early in the season would be an understatement, but a huge opportunity awaits the Chicago Blackhawks tonight in Detroit. The Wings went winless in their trip to Sweden, when the St. Louis Blues took all four available points in the two games they played. The Hawks, who took three out of four points from the Florida Panthers in their two games in Finland, can jump out to a five point lead on their biggest competition for the Central Division crown.The Mighty Red Wings have been weakened. Many of their top players from last season have new homes, including Marian Hossa and Tomas Kopecky, who are now Blackhawks.Marian Hossa and Tomas Kopecky Jiri Hudler left the team to...
Hawks Acquire Greentree from Calgary
2009-10-08 04:41:00 The Blackhawks have traded reserve defenseman Aaron Johnson to the Calgary Flames for left wing Kyle Greentree. Aaron JohnsonKyle GreentreeThis will likely pave the way for a forward call up with both Dave Bolland and Ben Eager out for Thursdays contest in Detroit(look for Evan Brophy or Jack Skille). Greentree is a mid level prospect with some upside. He's put up pretty big numbers in the AHL. Expect him to bounce between Rockford and Chicago, filling in when injuries occur. The Hawks have a good history with players like Greentree, who are often victims of depth. Patrick Sharp and Kris Versteeg are good examples of players who were acquired for very little, and have become major parts of the Hawks...

Hawks, Crawford walloped by Ovechkin's Caps
2009-09-24 06:28:00 Alexander Ovechkin and Mike Knuble each tallied two goals as the Washington Capitals trounced the Chicago Blackhawks 6-2 in Wednesday night's exhibition in D.C. The game results will mean squat once the regular season opens. That is, for most of the Hawks roster except goaltender Corey Crawford. Crawford is in a position battle with Antii Niemi for the backup goaltending duties behind Cristobal Huet. Surrending six goals on 30 shots doesn't win goalies many jobs. Niemi let in three goals on 17 shots on Sunday night in Minnesota. Neither has appeared to seal the backup role as of yet, but the edge has to go to Niemi at this point. Crawford drew the difficult assignment of facing the Caps...
Skille impresses in Hawks' preseason opener
2009-09-20 07:00:00 Jack Skille had something to play for Saturday night and it showed. The 2005 first round draft pick was impressive in the Chicago Blackhawks' 3-2 OT loss to the Washington Capitols in the team's exhibition opener. Skille combined his speed along with aggressive board play to stand out amid the other Blackhawks battling for a roster spot. The winger used good quickness in the offensive zone to net a wrist shot from the right circle in the 2nd period to give the Hawks a 2-0 lead. More importantly for Skille, he won numerous puck battles along the boards displaying good body positioning. Skille made a strong case to be considered for the big club as the Blackhawks travel to Helsinki to open the regular...
Toews, Kane are Hawks' Odd Couple
2009-09-17 04:23:00 Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane are teammates on the Chicago Blackhawks and two of the NHL's rising young stars. For the supposed best friends, that's where the similarities end. Toews and Kane have become Felix and Oscar. The two NHL All-Stars have morphed into quite The Odd Couple. One can imagine Toews cleaning the table of beer cans and pizza boxes while Kane pops open another and returns to playing NHL '10. Toews, always the responsible one, will make certain no bills go unpaid. On the other hand, Kane is only responsible for making sure Jonathan has a little fun once in awhile. A match made in reality show heaven. The two young Hawks have once again displayed their...
Yahoo! The Hawks are No. 2; Madhouse celebrates
2009-08-14 19:53:00 The Blackhawks certainly know how to create a diversion and take their fans collective mind off Patrick Kane's troubles. Just announce more bars, more food and more flat screens on a renovated 300 level, where getting high applies to every situation you can name, from the seating prices to the saucing.Maybe they can continually play Mel Brooks' "High Anxiety," on a few of the screens just to give their acrophobic fans a queasy feeling, although I still believe that goalie Cristobal Huet will be in charge of that part of the menu.And don't forget the possibility of those sanctions that could still be coming from the National Hockey League. There might be another bad moon rising if Marian Hossa collapses...
Hossa, Hawks backlash populating Twitter upon injury news
2009-07-22 20:22:00 The Chicago Blackhawks made a big splash in free agency when they signed winger Marian Hossa away from the Detroit Red Wings for 12 years and $62.8 million on July 1. But some are now second-guessing the move, as news comes out that Hossa has been nursing a shoulder injury and may even need surgery. Many Chicago Twitter users were not happy when they heard the report. Some laughed it off, while others were much more serious....
The Untold Story - Hawks Wanted to Change GM's Last December
2009-07-16 12:32:00 This pairing was never going to survive long term so John McDonough pulled the plug on Tallon on Monday.Solid NHL sources confirmed for me yesterday that had the Blackhawks not gone on a 9 game winning streak last season the firing of Dale Tallon would have been moved up by 6 months. As team president John McDononough told the media at a press conference on Tuesday he and Tallon had style differences and those differences existed last winter as well....
Hawks must explain why Huet is trustworthy
2009-07-13 19:59:00 The Blackhawks, even as they emerge as paper tigers among the NHL elite, will nonetheless be on trial next weekend at their fan convention. As promising as their future appears for 2009-10, especially with the addition of high-scoring forward Marian Hossa, they will be asked to present indisputable evidence that shows Cristobal Huet is their No. 1 goaltender beyond a reasonable doubt. Can that case be proven in a weekend of salesmanship? Was Huet worth 4 years at $5.625 million when the Hawks signed him as a free agent in July, 2008? Will you go home from the festivities next Sunday convinced that the net is in the hands of a master goaltender or a never-will-be?...
Versteeg joins Hawks pot-of-gold team
2009-07-08 17:12:00 Remember the good ol' days when fans used to rip the Blackhawks for spending too little money. Now, suddenly, the concern and fearful frets being voiced in Chicago puckdom are that the Hawks are spending too much. How the hell are they going to afford all this? Where does this excess end? How are these money hogs with their helmet bands expanding daily to XXXL going to squeeze themselves into next season's NHL salary cap of $56.8 million? I got news for you. Who really gives a damn? Rather than the golden showers of old, let this rainbow of gold-and-green continue unabated. What fans complain that their club is screwing them by overspending? You won't find that one in...
Hawks, Versteeg agree on new contract
2009-07-08 07:33:00 As reported by Chris Kuc at the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Blackhawks have agreed to terms with restricted free agent Kris Versteeg. The deal is believed to be worth $9.25 million over three years, a carbon copy of the contract signed by Cam Barker yesterday. Both players agreed to new contracts shortly after the NHLPA filed a grievance against the Blackhawks regarding the handling of their qualifying offers. The grievance is no longer active. Consider it an out-of-court settlement. Dale Tallon completed a successful free agent signing period last week, signed his own this week, and now has just one thing left to do - dial away and listen to offers from fellow general managers....

Hossa To Hawks?
2009-07-01 19:08:00 Canadian Sports Network TSN reported this morning that the Blackhawks were "close" to signing free agent winger Marian Hossa, who spent the last two seasons on the runner up teams in the Stanley Cup Finals. Having just worked the phones, an excellent hockey source tells me the Blackhawks are indeed in the mix for Hossa's services and along with a handful of other teams are working towards bringing in the dynamic scoring winger. However, a move for Marian Hossa would mean that the Blackhawks likely wouldn't be able to resign Marty Havlat for next season, since the team wants to make sure it can resign Toews, Kane and Keith next year. Should the Hawks resign Havlat, Hossa likely won't be...
Hawks Should Vote No To Chelios
2009-06-24 04:54:00 The week of the NHL draft is supposed to be about focusing on future stars, not 47-year old former all-stars. However, with the news on Monday that the Detroit Red Wings have shown Chris Chelios the door, it was inevitable that his name would once again start being associated with the Chicago Blackhawks. Chelios hasn't had this much play in Chicago since the Blackhawks traded him to the Red Wings on March 23, 1999. Who could have imagined that ten years later he'd be the topic of a sports radio poll in Chicago? WMVP-AM 1000 asked it's listeners if the Hawks should bring Chelios back. Out of over 1,800 votes, 45% percent of respondents actually said yes. Are Chicago...
Friday Night Game(s) Thread: Cubs @ Padres / Red Wings @ Hawks
2009-05-23 00:57:00 Nooooooooo! I can't take anymore: SAN DIEGO- The Cubs placed Rich Harden on the 15-day disabled list with a back strain on Friday, and inserted Randy Wells into the rotation for Saturday's game. Harden felt a twinge in his last outing last Sunday, and in a subsequent side session this week in St. Louis. With Harden's injury, the Cubs don't have to make any move with the bullpen to reactive Carlos Zambrano, who starts tonight against Jake Peavy. Harden will be eligible to return during the Atlanta series, which begins June 2nd at Turner Field. It's his seventh stint on the disabled list since 2005. So we lost Harden, and the Trib decides to throw in this little nugget as the cherry on top: Now that Peavy has rejected the Sox, the Cubs worst fears -- that Milwaukee will get into the mix -- may come to fruition. Just kill me. Zambrano (3-1)is back on the mound tonight against Peavy (3-5). I suppose I'll watch. I wouldn't want to miss what else could possibly happen to this tea...

Hawks-Heat Series Simply a Roller Coaster
2009-04-28 15:51:00 Last night the Atlanta Hawks were able to ward off the Heat to tie their series at 2-2. It was a game of runs, their was never really a few solid minutes of back to back baskets.Some of that was because of lots of fouls that ruined the flow of the game. But, I've noticed that these teams either play real well or real bad. There's not usually an alright with these teams. That's because of a combination of youth and lack of consistent talent.That makes the key to this series execution. The team that is able to execute on both ends and be hot from the field will win this series. Usually it's the team that starts off hot first that looks the strongest for four quarters.Sure, what I said here was kind of obvious. But I noticed how inconsistent these teams are. That's how a non-title contender will play. Fans of these teams should expect real solid play, or the turning of an on and off switch. It's the sad truth, but it's how the Heat and Hawks play.

Hawks Vue Log Cabin Rental in Gatlinburg
2009-02-26 17:06:00 Hawks Vue Log Cabin Rental in Gatlinburg is adequately named because of its beautiful view of the Smokies.

Obligatory Peavy Stuff and Hawks at Wrigley Diary
2009-01-01 19:03:00 First, the Peavy stuff: (thanks to Tim over at mlbtraderumors.com for putting all of this in one place, thereby making my morning after much easier) Yahoo's Tim Brown asked Padres GM Kevin Towers whether the Cubs' talks for Jake Peavy might reopen now that they've freed up cash. Towers' reply: "Doubtful." To Tom Krasovic, Towers said, "The Cubs' most recent trades have no bearing or connections with us and the Cubs in a potential Peavy deal." Krasovic notes that one big factor for the Cubs remains getting approval from new ownership to add Peavy's $16MM salary to the 2010 payroll. Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times agrees that the team's trade of Mark DeRosa "was made independent of Peavy considerations." Brown says the $8MM or so the Cubs cleared from the '09 payroll is to pay for Milton Bradley, their top right field target. Bradley wants three years and $30MM and the Cubs will approach that. Bruce Levine of ESPN Radio considers the C...
Keen Vision of Hawks

Every photoreceptor has a nerve connecting it to the hawk’s brain. Additionally, their eyes have special magnification ...

Hawks Comeback to Beat Sixers!
2008-11-02 03:09:00 The Hawks beat the Sixers in an incredible come back. They were down by as many as 23 points, but they came back inch by inch in the second half. Guys like Josh Smith and Joe Johnson were the key down the stretch. For three quarters, Smith played a terrible game. But by the fourth, he was hitting clutch shots and making needed plays.In the first half, it was all Sixers. In the second quarter, my Philly breakout pick-Thaddeus Young had an incredible quarter. He went four of six from three for the game and hit about three in the first half. One big mistake the Sixers coaching staff made was taking him out of the game. That made him loose his rhythm and it probably would've have helped if he had time to test that hot streak. Either way, Young played great.I also felt that while watching this game that the Sixers looked like the Pistons did last year. A team that gets too confident and disregards what the other team can do. They're offensive game became really flat and they let the Ha...

Can The Hawks Have a Better Year?
2008-10-06 14:19:00 The Atlanta Hawks are coming off of their best year in a while. They made the playoffs and surprised everyone with a seven game series against the eventual champs.Say what you want to say about their year (the East is weak, Boston was lallygagging in the first round, etc.), but Atlanta doesn't want to take a step back. In listening to Joe Johnson talk on media day (scroll down a bit for the video), I can sense the importance of an increase in wins and getting a higher seed.So can they do it?Maybe, but it's going to take some great individual performances. Joe Johnson has to do better than he's ever been. Mike Bibby has to be healthy and play at 100% all season. Josh Smith has to get higher for those alley oops, make those (or some more) outside shots. Al Horford has to get more than 10 points a game, maybe by taking some of LaMarcus Aldridge's outside moves. They've got the pieces on paper, they just need to get better individually and as a unit.I'm also looking for Marvin Wil...

Hawks Lose Depth, Blame the Dollar!
2008-07-23 18:01:00 The Hawks have lost a nice young player in Josh Childress. Where did he go? Olympiakos. He's getting $20 million for three years and will stray from being paid in our weak dollar. Maybe my friend Kellex should change the name of his site (The Sports Dollar) to the The Sports Euro. Five guys have gone from the best professional basketball league in the NBA, to all parts of the world (Russia, Spain, Greece, etc.).The Euroleague should certainly be happy, their league will benefit from all these guys coming over (don't forget Brandon Jennings!). I will watch as much Euroleague as I can! My question is, right now these teams have an advantage because their curriencies are strong, but once that dies down, what happens to guys like Childress? I hope he got an early termination option, while he may be a star over there, he may want to come back to the NBA at some time.Is anyone else Euroleague bound? I think there may be a couple more players, but I'm not sure who they are.
