There’s hype, and then there’s the lead-up to this game. It lived up to it and more, seeing as I nearly pissed myself when Troy Brouwer scored in overtime to beat the San Jose Sharks 4-3.
Before I get into the rundown of the game, here’s why the Blackhawks proved they’re the best team in the [...]

Headin’ for a showdown.
The Sharks and Blackhawks have been neck and neck, and now they meet for the final time in the regular season with the ‘Hawks holding a 2-1 advantage.
The ‘Hawks return to the Shark Tank for the first time since the Black Wednesday Massacre, but don’t expect tonight to be anything resembling that [...]

Another pressing matter has been the absence of Kris Versteeg over the past five games for [...]

Looks like we can forget all the talk of the Calgary Flames coming into this game pissed off enough to end that horrid losing streak. Seems we forgot how the Blackhawks have owned the Flames over the past two regular seasons, plus a playoff series victory.
Nothing changed tonight.
The Blackhawks looked more like themselves from the [...]

Jeremy Roenick became the latest to tell the hockey world what every critic has been saying about the Blackhawks for months: The ‘Hawks goaltending could keep them from winning the Stanley Cup.
The meatheads have been shouting for Cristobal Huet to be traded and supplanted by Antti Niemi. When those cries stop, they began whining about [...]
