Isn’t this considered bad luck?  Take a lovely drive down the Eisenhower and you’ll see this masterpiece.  I’m not the hockey aficionado, but it seems like tempting fate.  Especially with the recent skid the Hawks are in.  No idea what the pig-nose is about either. h/t: TPS

Olympic hockey starts today for the men with the United States taking on Switzerland at 2 PM, followed by Canada and Norway at 6:30 (both times Central). Patrick Kane will skate for the Americans, while Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook, and Jonathan Toews go for Canada.  Look for Marian Hossa and Tomas Kopecky on the Slovakian team as [...]

On the left, current Blackhawks stars Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane and Adam Burish enjoying some drinks on New Years Eve with a lovely lady. On the right, former Blackhawks star Chris Chelios’s mugshot from his recent DUI.  Although Chelios is a reminder of some good years, its funny how all things present about the Hawks [...]

How come everyone thinks they are a Blackhawks expert all of a sudden?  Anyways, here is commentor DC Blackhawks’ take on whether the Hawks overpaid for Toews.  Enjoy! With the recent blockbuster signings of the Blackhawks future and the criticisms of over paying, I primarily refute the idea that the Hawks overpaid for Captain Jonathan [...]

NQTC Reader JavierSandooski (formerly known as Ethan), is helping us cover some of the pressing and serious issues in Chicago Sports that StevieY19 or I normally write about.  Please show him the same courtesy and respect he always shows us in the comments-so basically none.  Enjoy! Imagine if the Cubs locked up Alfonso Soriano, Milton [...]

Have you heard about those Blackhawks lately?  After making a run in the playoffs last year, they are off to a great start again this season at 12-5-2.  Now, on the eve of their Circus Trip, management has leaked the information that they are close to signing Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews to long-term extensions, [...]

Toews and Burish both rode the bench for the Hawks Friday with injuries, but that didn’t stop Chicago from downing the Canadiens 3-2.  Not only are they dominating on the ice (shaky goalie-work aside), but they seem to be gelling as a team off the ice as well.  Does a couple of idiots dressing up [...]

In case you missed it Wednesday night, Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews got absolutely destroyed by Willie Mitchell.    Tough break for Toews as Mitchell came out of the penalty box seconds before slamming the captain with a vicious, clean hit.  Kris Versteeg followed up by going after Mitchell, which normally would draw criticism from this [...]

About a month ago, Deadspin ran a story about all the people that Sports Illustrated has declared the “Chosen One”.  It is a hilarious list.  Some of them worked out, and some of them were complete busts.  In honor of that list (which you should definitely check out), I have decided to do my own [...]

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 [...]

When I woke up yesterday, I didn’t even really think about the fact that all 4 Chicago teams were playing that day.  I mean I knew I was going to watch the Bulls game and I was really excited about going to the Blackhawks game, but I just didn’t put it all together.  Here is [...]

Last night the Blackhawks dropped an overtime game to the Penguins at the United Center.  The highlight of the night for the Hawks was Jonathan Toews’ first career hat trick. The highlight for me involved free helmet night.  The first whatever-thousand fans received a Blackhawks hard-hat last night and when Toews tipped the puck into [...]

After going 9-3-0 while playing 11 of 12 games on the road, the Blackhawks fell in their return to Chicago 2-1 to Minnesota.  The Hawks dominated the first period and a half, but an ineffective power play and great goaltending proved critical in the loss. Wild goaltender Josh Harding stopped 44 of the 45 shots [...]
