Flying Hawks, Falling Stars
Posted on 15 Apr 2013 by Anna Santiago.
Playoffs are 2 weeks away, and with the Chicago Blackhawks sitting pretty at the top of the league, President's Trophy all but locked up, you'd think the team would take it easy on their opponents every once in a while. Unfortunately for their opponents, that's just not how Jonathan Toews and the Blackhawks roll. Always the overacheiver (I have a feeling he'd be the type of straight-A student t...

So Long Win Streak, It’s Been A Slice
Posted on 9 Mar 2013 by Anna Santiago.
All good things must come to an end. When it came to the Chicago Blackhawks' 24-game point streak, not everyone considered it a good thing (particularly the team's division rivals) but nonetheless, the streak had to stop somewhere. And it stopped in Denver, Colorado at the hands of the 28th place Avalanche. The 6-2 beating on Friday night marked the Blackhawks' first regulation loss in almost a...

Turning 21

The Chicago Blackhawks are so good, it's scary. Coming into tonight's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Hawks were riding high on a 20-game point streak. Not one loss in regulation yet. Columbus hoped they might be the team to put an end to that, and though they did give it a valiant effort, it's no easy task matching up against Toews. Kane. Stalberg. The Hawks' blue line alone boasts...

Coyote Ugly

Tonight in Phoenix, the Chicago Blackhawks exploded right out of the gate meaning business. Not like they had something to prove…blazing into their 11th game with 20 of a possible 22 points, the Hawks are enjoying the hottest streak in the NHL. Almost right off the bat, Jamal Mayers dropped the gloves with public enemy #1 Raffi Torres. 6 minutes later, Andrew Shaw with the puck managed to...

Beating The Big Boys
Posted on 6 Feb 2013 by Anna Santiago.
The top two NHL teams in the league. Until yesterday, both were undefeated in regulation. One of them had to end their streak tonight. The Chicago Blackhawks served the San Jose Sharks with a 5-3 loss on the Sharks' own turf tonight and kept their own record of regulation wins perfectly in tact. The showdown in San Jose saw 5 of the league's top point-getters on the ice (Patrick Kane and Marian...

Canucks Spoil The Blackhawks’ Party
Posted on 2 Feb 2013 by Anna Santiago.
Up until last Wednesday, the Chicago Blackhawks had been undefeated, posting their best season start in franchise history. It was the Minnesota Wild who spoiled what would have been the Hawks' seventh straight regulation win, but Chicago still managed to pick up a point as the game went into a shootout. Tonight's game against the Vancouver Canucks may not have been the most exciting one, consid...

Back With A Bang
Posted on 21 Jan 2013 by Anna Santiago.
Forget December 25th, Christmas Day came a little bit later for hockey fans. Saturday, January 19th saw the return of the NHL after a lengthy and dramatic lockout and 13 games were played that day. Among them was a matchup between the reigning Stanley Cup champs, the Los Angeles Kings, and the Chicago Blackhawks. Coming into a shortened season with only a 6-day training camp, predicting how eac...

The Blackhawks and the Lockout
Posted on 18 Sep 2012 by Anna Santiago.
As badly as the players would like to play (and as badly as the fans would like to see their team play), it may not necessarily be the end of the world for the Chicago Blackhawks to take a bit of a hiatus from the high-paced, action-packed 8 month period called the NHL season. Sure, there are plenty of cons that will arise, should this lockout last the entire season. Like the fact that the vete...

Shut Out By The Sharks
Posted on 24 Nov 2011 by Anna Santiago.
It wasn't the most exciting game they've played this season, and against the San Jose Sharks tonight, the Chicago Blackhawks were handed their third straight loss. Despite the Sharks taking 5 of the 8 penalties of the night, the Hawks failed to capitalize and fell 1-0 to Joe Thornton and company. The Hawks' best chance at getting a goal in the first period came at the 10 minute mark. With Dan B...

A Blue Jackets Beatdown and The Steve Montador Hat Trick
Posted on 10 Nov 2011 by Anna Santiago.
Now this is what a team with so many stars on it should look like on the ice. The Chicago Blackhawks came down fast and hard on the Columbus Blue Jackets right from the get-go. After several nice rushes in the Columbus zone, a rebound off of Viktor Stalberg's attempt earned Jonathan Toews the first tally of the game, 7 minutes in. And the action kept on coming steadily throughout the first peri...

We Meet Again, Old Friend
Posted on 6 Nov 2011 by Anna Santiago.
In their first regulation loss at home, the Chicago Blackhawks were defeated by their old foe, the Vancouver Canucks. The two teams' famed rivalry was most recently spotlighted in the first round of the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs, when the Blackhawks managed to overcome a 3-0 deficit to take the President's Trophy winners all the way to Game 7, only to lose in overtime. It was a nail-biting seri...

Blackhawks Soar Over Jets
Posted on 14 Oct 2011 by Anna Santiago.
Andrew Ladd and Dustin Byfuglien had not been back in Chicago since they helped lead the Blackhawks to the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals. Yet here they were, skating on familiar ice, but for the opposing team as part of the new Winnipeg Jets. The visiting team got right down to business in the first, with center Jim Slater scoring a pair of goals just 3 minutes apart. If the first half of the period ...
