Into the second round of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs we go, and what a treat it is to see two rivals and original six teams battling it out for a spot in the Western Conference Finals. The Detroit Red Wings won four straight games at the end of the regular season to grab the [...]
Success in Chicago seems to have come with a price. For the fourth time in six years, the Chicago Blackhawks are raising season ticket and single-game ticket prices. As of writing this, no specific price details have been given on how much single-game tickets will rise, but you can find out the specific price details on [...]
The shortened, 48-game NHL regular season is over and the conference seeds and matchups are set. It’s time for some playoff hockey.
Experts always say defense wins games, but that’s especially true in hockey. If you have goaltending, especially in the playoffs where it matters most, you will win games. That’s exactly how the eighth-seeded Los Angeles Kings completely dominated last year’s playoffs and en route to winning the Stanley Cup.
Now that the Blackhawks’ point streak is over, Tyler focuses on what it all means for the Blackhawks and their chances at winning the Stanley Cup.
It’s time to give respect to the two young stars that are the driving forces behind this Chicago team – and although they’re both only 24 years of age, they are already in their sixth season as difference makers at the United Center.
Hockey is back! And euphoria is the only emotion Blackhawks devotee Tyler Juranovich has felt the past few days since the return of the NHL last Saturday.

Despite being very quiet in free agency, the Chicago Blackhawks may actually be the best team in their division…for that exact reason.
I have a sense that my somewhat negative feelings over the ‘Hawks’ free agency inactivity is, at times, because I’ve been sucked into the rumor nonsense that almost always accompanies the off-season. The same is probably true for many Blackhawks fans.
This past weekend, Chicago Blackhawks All Star Patrick Kane went to spend some time at the University of Wisconsin with his pals. However, he didn’t just “spend some time” there, he lived up every single second of it. Or at least he tried to.
It was surprising to see was how well the defensive-orientated teams did against offensive-orientated teams, especially in the Western Conference. Is this the beginning of a paradigm shift?
The hit on Marian Hossa by cheap shot artist and repeat offender Raffi Torres apparently was viewed differently in Phoenix by their announcers. Watch the video and decide for yourself if it was a clean or a dirty hit.
Tyler Juranovich says yesterday is one of the most frustrating day he has ever experienced as a Chicago Blackhawks fan. He explains why.
