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, [...]

Earlier in the Western Conference Finals, everyone thought the series was over when Detroit went up 2-0 with an overtime win in Joe Louis Arena and I was quick to disagree.  Now, they’re saying it again calling Game 5 a formality.  Are the writers on the mark this time? Well, maybe.
Game 4 could be an [...]

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 [...]

We’re back to Chicago for Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals and it might as well be an elimination for the Blackhawks.  While a comeback down 3-0 would be epic against Detroit, this isn’t a movie and it just won’t happen.  Must win tonight.  Bullets…

Both teams are having some trouble getting production from their [...]

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 third [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 guy with [...]
