The Dan Le Batard Show has given us more gold from Randy Moller, the color commentator for the Florida Panthers.  Moller, in case you’re unfamiliar, has become somewhat famous for his pop culture referencing goal calls.  Here is the latest version, with some gems for sure. h/t Puck Daddy

The Blackhawks are playing some filthy hockey this season.  Although the team has been riddled with early season injuries to many key players, they have still been able to hang onto the lead in the Central Division.  But what is the key to all their success the past few years?  Some say its an influx [...]

I was overjoyed last night when I found out the Blackhawks-Flames game would be on Versus.  Not so overjoyed when the Flames had built a five goal lead with just over eight minutes left in the FIRST period.  In about five and a half minutes, the Flames went from scoreless, to up five; and they [...]

Turns out they are actually going to play Game 5 despite everyone saying the series is over.  So take some time from all that reading you’re doing about a Stanley Cup Finals rematch and remember that the Western Conference Finals aren’t over yet.  The Blackhawks have plenty going for them that no one talks about.  [...]

I’ve noticed this season that Patrick Kane does a lot of chewing on his mouth guard.  Apparently, Red Wings forward Johan Franzen did not care for it and took some action. h/t Puck Daddy

Earlier in the Western Conference Finals, everyone thought the series was over when Detroit went up 2-0 with an overtime win in Joe Louis Arena and I was quick to disagree.  Now, they’re saying it again calling Game 5 a formality.  Are the writers on the mark this time? Well, maybe. Game 4 could be [...]

Almost all of the talk about the Red Wings and Blackhawks the last couple of days has surrounded the massive hit on Martin Havlat dished out by Niklas Kronwall of the Wings.  Hearing the Blackhawks and Red Wings react to the check, you’d think they watched two different plays.  The Wings say clean hit with [...]

We’re back to Chicago for Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals and it might as well be an elimination for the Blackhawks.  While a comeback down 3-0 would be epic against Detroit, this isn’t a movie and it just won’t happen.  Must win tonight.  Bullets… Both teams are having some trouble getting production from [...]

Or so the media would have you think.  I don’t know how many times I heard it since just last night: “This series is over.”  Without ever playing a game in Chicago?  Maybe so, but I think these Hawks will have something to say about it.  How after two games that were 2-2 in the [...]

Down 1-0 in the series, the Blackhawks will try again to steal home ice from Detroit in the Western Conference Finals tonight.  The momentum seems firmly planted in Detroit’s corner after the Wings netted three straight goals to win 5-2 in Game 1, but the Hawks will look for another fast start to recapture the [...]

The Blackhawks struck first in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals but couldn’t hold off the Red Wings, falling 5-2 to the defending Stanley Cup Champions.  The Hawks came out strong, carrying the play for most of the first period and taking a 1-0 lead about five minutes in, but the Wings came back, took [...]

Well it’s really going to happen.  The team I’ve followed, written about, and cheered for (most of the time) this year against the team I’ve always loved and cheered for.  Normally I would be upset about this match-up, but this is great for hockey and great for both teams. Not only is it a throwback [...]

What an unbelievable game at the United Center last night.  After squandering a two goal lead and falling behind 5-4 with under eight minutes remaining, the Hawks rallied to win 7-5.  I’m a little short on time, so here are a few videos. First, the anthem from last night: Here are the highlights from a [...]

Great opportunity tonight for the underdog Blackhawks to close out the series against Vancouver and advance to the Western Conference Finals. The Blackhawks won Game 5 in Vancouver by playing smart hockey and staying out of the penalty box, while the Canucks allowed the Hawks power play to give them a commanding lead in the [...]

That felt like one of the quickest hockey games I had ever watched.  One goal for Vancouver in the second period off a blocked shot provided the only scoring for the majority of the contest, but it seemed like time was running in that accelerated video game speed. Part of that must have been the [...]
