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...

Shaky Performance: Hawks in need of a rebound win on Wednesday
Posted on 20 Nov 2011 by Joshua Meyer.
After a good start to the infamous Circus Road Trip, the Hawks have been less than stellar the last two days. After losing a tough one in Calgary on Friday, the Hawks effectively decided not to play any defense against the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday. The score, 9-2, explains it all for me. 9 goals? This is after holding the Canucks to 1 goal and the Oilers the previous week to only 3 goals. Th...

A Beantown 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 ...

Blackhawk Down
Posted on 8 Oct 2011 by Anna Santiago.
If there was one star in Dallas tonight, it was Kari Lehtonen, who stopped 37 shots to help his team get a 2-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks. Coming in at a close second was the Stars' PK, which successfully fought off 4 of the night's 6 penalties. The Hawks, however, were not shining as brightly as expected in their first game of the season. Though both teams were held scoreless during t...

Chicago Blackhawks Summer Playbook
Posted on 29 Jun 2011 by Anna Santiago.
Just like in recent years past, the Chicago Blackhawks' selection at the 2011 NHL Entry Draft did not cause that much of a stir. The last two picks, right winger Kevin Hayes and defenseman Dylan Olsen, have yet to play in the big league since getting drafted by the club. Now that's not to say that this year's 18th overall pick, Mark McNeill, will have the same fate, but the talk in Windy C...

2011 Chicago Blackhawks Draft Preview
Posted on 23 Jun 2011 by Anna Santiago.
Physicality is the one aspect of the Chicago Blackhawk that was glaringly absent in the 2010-2011 season. But a good chunk of the team's cap space is designated to keeping defensemen Duncan Keith, Brian Campbell, Brent Seabrook, and Niklas Hjalmarsson so it won't be likely that any major changes will be seen on the defensive end. In terms of forwards, the Hawks have several promising players in...

A Remarkable Journey Comes To An End
Posted on 27 Apr 2011 by Anna Santiago.
The two teams came into this series as polar opposites. The Vancouver Canucks were the President's Trophy winners; the undisputed league leaders of the NHL. Though they've had a couple of cup runs, it's been almost been 20 years since they've made it close to dancing with Lord Stanley. But with those unstoppable Sedins and their terrific netminder, the Vancouver Canucks came into the 2011 NHL p...

Hawks Flying High
Posted on 25 Apr 2011 by Anna Santiago.
The first three games of the Vancouver-Chicago series has been no indicator of its outcome. Somehow, the Blackhawks, who managed to squeeze into the playoffs through the cracks of a log-jammed Western conference, have taken back the reins against the President's trophy recipients and their Vezina finalist Roberto Luongo. In fact, the Blackhawks caused such havoc on Luongo in Games 4 and 5 that ...
