Put down the stones and step back into your glass house, Rob Otto. You’re entitled to your opinion, but make sure you start thinking more clearly before publishing your work — especially in the forum you intend to do so.
Otto of MLive.com publicized his distaste for the Chicago Blackhawks’ tradition of cheering throughout the National [...]

Well, Cris, I’ve defended you up and down. Today, you’re on your own.
There are a lot of people to blame for the Blackhawks’ second-period meltdown, but the brunt goes to Huet. I’m not sure if I’m more upset about the 5-4 loss to the Detroit Red Wings, or if I’m simply flaming pissed the meatballs [...]

Roberto Luongo, get in position. Here come the ‘Hawks.
Enough said. Luongo better pray he’s done with the Blackhawks this season. The gold-medal winning goalie and savior of Canada gave up five goals during the first and only period he played in the Blackhawks 6-3 win Friday against the Vancouver Canucks.
At least he didn’t weep this [...]

Ladies and gentleman, these are your Chicago Blackhawks. You’ve watched this team succeed with and without Marian Hossa and Dave Bolland, with and without Cam Barker and Kim Johnsson.

While I’m sure all the meatballs shit themselves when they heard news the Blackhawks traded for goaltending depth, it’s not a meatball type of trade.
The Blackhawks and Blues have swapped AHL players two days before the trade deadline. The ‘Hawks acquired goalie Hannu Toivonen with defenseman and Chicago native Danny Richmond — who have both [...]

Congrats to Jonathan Toews, Brent Seabrook and Duncan Keith winning a gold medal after Canada defeated the United States 3-2 in overtime Sunday. Patrick Kane will bring home a silver medal, and hopefully that’s not the only piece of silver he holds this season. You know, because the Stanley Cup is made of silver. See [...]

Thirty years ago, Team USA jubilantly gave Americans reason to believe. Sunday, it silenced a nation.
No medals were awarded following the United States’ surprise 5-3 victory against Canada, but Ryan Miller and the Americans looked plain golden. It was the type of game that could turn casual hockey observers into die-hard fans, and die-hards into [...]
