Thursday night’s game against the San Jose Sharks ended in 5-3 fashion, but what scared me the most was seeing the Blackhawks blow another close fought game. It’s been one of the worst story lines of the year. Third periods have been hell for the Hawks. They’ve given up 47 goals in the third period-easily running [...]
After reading many blogs and websites, even this one, I’ve come to the conclusion that Blackhawk fans don’t really like Marty Turco. His stats aren’t incredible, I’ll give them that, but Turco’s numbers are not because he has failed to play good goaltending. The players around him have failed playing good hockey around him. Tuesday night’s [...]
Yesterday I had the privilege to go the Chicago/Nashville game last night at the United Center. It was the first, and hopefully not the last, game I’ve been to this year. As a big Blackhawk fan I’d love to go to more games, but, as some of you might know, tickets are pretty expensive. Not coming from a rich [...]
After dominating the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football and clinching the NFC North, the Chicago Bears(10-4) come back to Chicago to play the playoff hungry New York Jets(10-4). The Bears are looking very dangerous, but a Jets team that would clinch a playoff spot if they beat the Bears Sunday should make this game [...]
It looks like the defending Champion Blackhawks have finally turned the corner. Tonight it looked like things have come together. After beating Detroit and Los Angeles over the weekend, the Blackhawks handled the Nashville Predators. The commitment to team defense and solid play from Corey Crawford has been the difference. Plus better play from the [...]
I gave you guys what I thought were the “5 Biggest Underachievers So Far” for the Blackhawks this season. There I listed the five guys that I thought were holding up the Hawks, and were the main cause for a lukewarm start to the season. After a phenomenal win over the hated Detroit Red Wings, I thought I’d have my [...]
Monday night was a painful night for the Blackhawk’s defense. It was another reminder of how worse off this defense is to the fans, coaches, and the players themselves. It’s becoming so bad that it’s starting to eat away at the team. “Devastating, embarrassing, humiliating,” Jonathan Toews said. “I don’t know what word you want to [...]
The New England Patriots(10-2) and the Chicago Bears (9-3) go at each other in this week’s most anticipated games of the week. Both are at their peak in the season looking to further their win streak and gain some space and momentum as they fight fore playoff spots. New England is coming off a sensational win over the New York Jets [...]
Well I think it’s safe to say we have a clear-cut favorite to win the NFL MVP. Can it really be anyone other than Tom Brady? In the past four games he’s thrown 13 touchdowns and zero interceptions. The guy is a freak of nature. The MVP may be clear but the standings are murkier [...]
The expectations for the Chicago Blackhawks were extremely, and likely unfair, high this season. The team was coming off a historic and exciting Stanley Cup win. Fans knew some players had to leave, but they still expected a contending team. They didn’t get one. The Hawks struggled early on, never able to permanently break the .500 cycle. [...]
