Due to some combination of my laziness and being busy, I decided to bring in a guest writer for the preview today.  Adam is a loyal reader of NQTC and is here to give his thoughts on the upcoming game.  Enjoy!
The Chicago Bears (4-3) start a very important and difficult four-game stretch as the Arizona [...]

For the next few weeks leading up to the college football season, we’ll be previewing every Big Ten team, starting with my prediction to finish last, to my predicted champ.  This way if I don’t get to Ohio State before the season starts, you’ll have a good grasp on all the teams whose analysis isn’t [...]

The White Sox won’t get much time to bask in the glory of Mark Buehrle’s perfect game, as they have an afternoon date with the Detroit Tigers.  The upcoming four game series is as big as they get in July.  The Sox and Tigers are tied for the AL Central lead and won’t meet again [...]

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.  First, [...]

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 [...]

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 to [...]

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 hole [...]

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 5-on-3 [...]

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 Chicago [...]

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 sustain, [...]

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 a [...]

Once again, if the early games turn out to be disappointing there is still plenty of hope for a great game at night.  First, Michigan State and Kansas will meet in a great coaching match-up among other things, then North Carolina and Gonzaga will finish off the Sweet 16 games.
(3) Kansas vs. (2) Michigan State, [...]
