Game 4 could have been a chance to put a choke hold on this series for the Blackhawks, but after a loss Tuesday the Hawks need a win to stay competitive. After falling behind early, just like every other game this series, the Blackhawks couldn’t complete the comeback and now find themselves in a 2-1 [...]

The Blackhawks have made it back stateside and will try to hold onto the home ice advantage they snuck over the border after a Game 2 comeback win.  The Hawks certainly have the momentum after rattling off five straight goals after falling behind 2-0.  The Canucks added a late goal, but it was on a [...]

For Chicago fans, a depressing loss by the Bulls Saturday night looked like it was going to lead to another loss by the Blackhawks.  Finding themselves in another early hole–down 2-0 after one–the Hawks stormed back to beat Vancouver 6-3 and tie up the series. Just like in Game 1, when the Hawks fell behind [...]

Hey, the Blackhawks played last night too and their game was fairly exciting.  The Blackhawks wish they could have played a few overtimes though, because that’s where it looked like the game was heading when Dave Bolland tied the game at three late in the third, but it wasn’t to be and the Hawks ended [...]

Is it time for the second round already?  How was that reintroduction to playoff hockey, Chicago?  After an amazing first round victory against Calgary, the Blackhawks face their second straight opponent from north of the border. Calgary and Vancouver took their battle for a division title down to the end of the regular season, and [...]

After refreshing ESPN’s hockey playoff schedule just over 30 times, I finally figured out that the Blackhawks will start their series with Vancouver on Thursday night in Canada.  The series will shift to Chicago for Game 3 on Tuesday, May 5th for the first second round playoff hockey game in the United Center since the [...]

Game 5 of the Blackhawks-Flames series is tonight at 8:00 PM CT and needless to say, it’s a biggie.  Win, and the Hawks have a chance to steal a game and seal the series in Calgary next week.  Lose, and they have to go up to the Saddledome and fight for their playoff lives.  So [...]

This is the time of the year where you’ll hear every game called “pivotal” and “all-important” in playoff series.  It’s not that they’re wrong, it’s just that we know they’re important.  It’s the playoffs!  So the Blackhawks will be in Calgary again tonight for a regularly-vastly-important Game 4.  Bullets! Patrick Kane says he’s ready to [...]

The Blackhawks will make their way to the Saddledome tonight to try and put a stranglehold on the series against Calgary.  The Hawks were 2-0 at Calgary this season, but the playoffs are a whole different animal. Calls don’t go your way on the road, momentum is nearly impossible to create and even harder to [...]

What an unbelievable start to the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the Blackhawks in their return to the postseason.  After a slow start the Hawks got it together in the second period and ended up beating the Flames in overtime to take a 1-0 lead in the series. After the slow start, the Hawks managed to [...]

It’s Hawks and Flames tonight at 7:30 CT on CSN and I thought the best way to prepare would be to show an embarrassing video of Flames defenseman Dion Phaneuf being made a fool of.  Pretty sure it’s from a couple of years ago, but it’s still funny.

Okay, so one night of the Stanley Cup Playoffs is already in the books, but I’m making my playoff picks today anyway.  Zoner posted his picks yesterday, so I figured I’d give it a shot.  As much as I have come to enjoy watching the Hawks play the last few years, I just can’t pick [...]

For the first time in a long time, the Blackhawks will be playing hockey past mid-April.  We’ll have plenty of coverage throughout the series, but here are some bullet thoughts to get you prepared.  The two teams couldn’t be entering the series on much different streaks.  The Blackhawks had looked like they were heading for [...]

The Blackhawks squandered a lead and wasted a good first period last night and fell to the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-3 at the United Center.  The Hawks still get one point for the loss, putting them at 100 for the season; four ahead of Calgary and Vancouver in the quest for home ice in the [...]

The Blackhawks fell behind 1-0 in the first period last night in Nashville, but it didn’t take them long into the second period to turn the game around.  Just 12 seconds into the period, Jonathan Toews scored on a break to tie it up, and Dustin Byfuglien gave the Hawks the lead with a goal [...]
