Now Playing: Pearl Jam - Pearl Jam
While last week’s action saw the Blackhawks playing like shadows of of their earlier selves, this week has proved immeasurably more productive, as we saw the return of Captain Jonathan Toews and hardheaded Ben Eager to the Blackhawks lineup. I was very concerned as I watched the Blackhawks [...]
Now playing: Music: Live From Dakota - Stereophonics Puck: Sharks at Blues (GREAT game)
Hello Blackhawks fans! I know it’s been a while, but certain personal issues have…what the hell do you care? Sorry, I’ll just get down to brass tacks here.
I’ve gotta say, for the most part, I’m really diggin’ what [...]
Now Playing: Urge Overkill - Saturation
As the Blackhawks look to continue their post-season momentum from 7 months ago against the Vancouver Canucks, the big issue that looms amongst fans and critics alike is the play between the pipes. Many Hawks fans were happy to hear that Antti Niemi will get the nod Wednesday evening [...]
The Blackhawks welcomed their former netminder Nikolai Khabibulin back to Chicago this evening and were less than hospitable peppering him with 38 shots and constant pressure starting from the initial puck drop.
End to end, the Blackhawks looked much more cohesive all night than they did Monday, both at even strength and special teams. [...]
Currently playing: Pearl Jam - Vs. (I hope some of you can find the humor in there…DirecTV subscribers aside)
As I’m guessing there might be a few new readers after the barnburner on Chicago’s west side tonight, I’ll try and do it justice.
It’s difficult to put down on paper what exactly transpired, but I’m sure [...]
Now playing: Clam Famine - Pants Across America
(Note from last post: When explaining why I refer to the Hawks as “we”, the second reason, “I feel I’ve earned it” was supposed to have been interpreted more “tongue-in-cheek” than it was. As far as professional on-ice experience, I haven’t earned shit. Just wanted to [...]
Welcome to the Chicago Blackhawks blog! If you wil allow me a quick intro, I’m Ryan. Current Chicago resident, Hawks fan for life. If you really need proof, check my arm…
And by the way, I’m going to refer to the Hawks as “we”. First of all, it makes things easier. Secondly, I [...]
They did it. After three disappointing losses the Sharks managed to rise to the occasion once again and beat the tough opponent. Let me say this – the Boston Bruins are a very good hockey club, it was great to be able to finally see them play. I don’t think they’re very [...]
Dear Mr. Old Timer,
I really appreciate your dedication to writing for our blog. Because of your loyalty to your team I’ve actually managed to follow, with some interest, the progress of the Vancouver Canucks. I remember back when the season first started you had reserved enthusiasm around your expectations for this team. Specifically, [...]
Apparently the argument has been settled, it’s not rabbit season - it’s duck season. The San Jose Sharks started their latest win streak by beating the Anaheim Ducks 2-0 in a pretty mild effort by Sharks standards. I don’t know but it seems like the Sharks don’t look quite as sharp when [...]
