The Hawks were able to win their series against the Canucks, sure, but not before some strange fans channeled one of the greatest shows on TV (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) by bringing out their greenman costumes.  Love it. h/t: 30fps

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
