4 Ways Chicago Blackhawks Fans Can Get Ready For The Upcoming Season
August 23, 2011 By 1 Comment
I am happy to announce that we are only 28 days away from some Chicago Blackhawks preseason hockey. While you might not be able to actually go to as many games this season as you’d like to because of insane ticket prices (very insane I might add), there are various ways to get your house, computer, and even your mind ready for the upcoming hockey season.

Negatives of Daniel Carcillo’s big mouth may outweigh the positives he brings to the Blackhawks
August 9, 2011 By Leave a Comment
It wasn’t very long after the Chicago Blackhawks officially introduced Daniel Carcillo (along with Andrew Brunette) that Carcillo started showing the “screw you” attitude he’s so well known for.
He did not delay attacking rival Vancouver, and not just the team but specific players, naming Max Lapierre to be on the top of his list. Carcillo has a long history of trash-talking that goes along with his dirty play.
Chicago Blackhawks will have to help Corey Crawford more next season
July 22, 2011 By Leave a Comment
There’s been many fan debates about whether the Chicago Blackhawks are a better team than they were last season after the major overhaul of their defensive unit. There’s no doubt that the ‘Hawks became a tougher team with the addition of Andrew Brunette, Sean O’Donnell, and Daniel Carcillo, but does it make up for losing Brian Campbell and Troy Brouwer, two very skilled and prized ‘Hawks?
It all depends on how you look at it.
Detroit’s possible departure from the Central Division would be sad but ultimately good for the Chicago Blackhawks
July 13, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Since the recent move of the Atlanta Thrashers to Winnipeg there have been many news stories and blog posts about the NHL realigning its divisions and even switching teams from the Western Conference to the Eastern Conference and vice versa. The newest report that came out Monday and that CSNchicago.com reported on Tuesday morning has the Central Division consisting of the Minnesota, Winnipeg, Chicago, St. Louis, Nashville, Dallas, and possibly Columbus.
Read over the teams again. See anything missing?
There’s no Detroit in that list.
Stan Bowman is Creating A New Look and Feel that Could Make the Chicago Blackhawks a Stanley Cup Contender
July 1, 2011 By Leave a Comment
It hasn’t been a full two years since the Chicago Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup, but already the team has a different look and feel to it.
The 2010 off-season brought in a whole wave of change (most of it out of necessity), but even then it didn’t stop. This off-season, ‘Hawk fans have already seen three players go that were on the championship winning team.
With all this change happening again, one thing that still worries me is team chemistry.
Chicago Blackhawks busy first draft day answers some questions but creates others

The Chicago Blackhawks news sphere went crazy not just because the Blackhawks drafted forward Phillip Danault and forward Mark McNeil, but because the organization has parted ways with forward Troy Brouwer and defenseman Brian Campbell.

Get excited Chicago Blackhawks and NHL fans: the official 2011-12 regular season schedule has been released by the NHL.
Michael Frolik will be the next breakout player for the Chicago Blackhawks
June 17, 2011 By Leave a Comment
The NHL season is finally over, and now the league begins its offseason. The usual trade rumors, free agent signings, and major releases are always big news, but I like to first start with predicting who I believe is going to be the unforeseen impact player for the Chicago Blackhawks.
When the Blackhawks first acquired Michael Frolik from the Florida Panthers, there was some buzz around the new face in Chicago, and for good reason. Even though Frolik was having his worst season points-wise, he still has the speed, skating ability, and potential to become a star player in the NHL.
Frolik brought all those skills to Chicago.
The Biggest Problems Facing the Chicago Blackhawks This Summer
May 26, 2011 By 1 Comment
The Chicago Blackhawks’ 2010-11 season had its ups, downs, and moments of disappointment.
Not only did they barely slip into the playoffs, the Blackhawks also saw a dip both in their offensive and defensive production. An early exit from the playoffs definitely didn’t help things, especially with expectations so high after last season’s Stanley Cup victory.
Heading into the offseason, the Blackhawks first action item was to re-sign goaltender Corey Crawford. There are many questions heading into the offseason, but goaltending is not one of them. Crawford was signed to a three-year, $8 million contract. Backing up Crawford next season will most likely be Alexander Salak, who was just recently signed to a one-way contract worth $600,000.
It’s hard to know what will come next, but there are still many more decisions to be made before next season. With approximately $8 million left to spend on six players, some tough decisions and cuts will have to be made.
Chicago Blackhawks Time Capsule: A Look Back at the 1961 Championship
May 19, 2011 By Leave a Comment
The year was 1961.
It was back in the days of the Original Six in the NHL, back when the two Canadian teams dominated the NHL for years. Before the tradition of clapping during the National Anthem. Before the Chicago Blackhawks played at the United Center. And before the time of most Blackhawk fans today.
It was also the year the Blackhawks won their third Stanley Cup.
Chicago Blackhawks: 5 Best Moments of the 2010-11 Season
May 9, 2011 By Leave a Comment
It’s been two weeks since the Vancouver Canucks ended the Chicago Blackhawks’ season, and since then my sadness has already passed, now replaced by optimism and excitement for next season.
While the 2010-11 season wasn’t as much fun, and was far more painful than the Stanley Cup season, there was still a lot to cheer and to be happy about for ‘Hawks fans.
