Hawks Teach a Lesson about Friday Night’s Plans

10 December, 2009 (11:00) | Chicago Blackhawks, Hockey, What to Watch | By: JavierSandooski

Normally, in mid-December with the Bears’ season down the drain and the Bulls being “the worst team ever” (Stormin’ Normin’s words, not mine — Ok, mine too) I’d be desperately counting down the days until pitchers and catchers report.  However, Hendry struck out trying to deal Milton Bradley and THE HAWKS ARE THE HOTTEST TEAM [...]

Actual Bears Play Hockey

This video is hypnotizing.  What’s crazy about it is the bears seem to actually grasp the rules of hockey.  I’m sure PETA would not be thrilled with this, but I love it.  Enjoy!

7 April, 2009 (10:57) | Baseball, Basketball, Football, Hockey | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

The Basketball Hall of Fame inducted some new members this past week.  Unfortunately for Basketball, no one cares about it’s Hall.  No disrespect to Michael Jordan, Jerry Sloan, David Robinson, and the other inductees, but who really cares?
Why are Halls of Fame so different in importance from sport to sport?  I’m not entirely sure, but [...]

One Man’s Musings on His First Hockey Game

15 January, 2009 (15:00) | Chicago Blackhawks, Hockey | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

Yes, you heard that right. I went to the Blackhawks game last night. I know hockey games are supposed to be fun live, but my skepticism about hockey has been well-documented here. Surprisingly, I had a great time. I’m not saying hockey is awesome, but it was definitely a good time. There were some funny [...]

Minor League Sports are the Best

15 December, 2008 (22:17) | Hockey | By: StevieY19

There are few things in sports I appreciate more than a good promotional night at a minor league sporting event. Okay, so I’ve only been to one of these things, which was a minor league hockey game where the home team wore Chiefs jerseys and the Hanson brothers from Slapshot were there.
January 30th, the [...]

Chicago Blackhawks Season Preview

30 September, 2008 (15:30) | Chicago Blackhawks, Hockey | By: StevieY19

That’s right. Hockey. Get used to it. The regular season opener for the Blackhawks is October 10th, so it’s time to remind you that hockey really does still exist, and that the Hawks are going to be pretty damn good this year. As these words are hitting the e-paper, the Blackhawks [...]

Bulgaria loses in hockey 82-0. Yeah, 82-0.
Cubs lose in walk-off fashion. Again.
Good news for Z and Harden. Both will be making their next starts. Everyone just needs to breath and stay calm.
White Sox lose first game of doubleheader, then lose Konerko, then lose second game of doubleheader.
Wahh? Could Quentin be [...]
