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 [...]

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.

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 [...]
