What Will The Blackhawks Do With Michael Frolik?
The 2011-2012 season wasn’t an ideal season for anyone in the Chicago Blackhawks organization, but it was an especially rough one for Michael Frolik. Frolik was acquired at the trade deadline during the 2010-2011 season, in a deal that looked like a steal at the time. The Hawks also acquired Alexander Salak in the deal, [...]
TweetWill The Blackhawks Re-Sign Defenseman Johnny Oduya?
There are few things associated with the Chicago Blackhawks that are more frustrating to discuss than team defense. “Good” would not be a word anyone would use to describe the blue line. “Mediocre”, “just okay”, “shaky”, and “abysmal” all would have fit the bill at one time or another in 2011-2012. Brent Seabrook was really [...]
TweetWhen Will Patrick Kane’s Drunken Adventures Become Too Much?
Aside from the rift in the Chicago Blackhawks‘ front office, Patrick Kane‘s life away from the ice might just be the worst kept secret in all of sports, mostly courtesy of Deadspin.

TweetChicago Blackhawks Reportedly On Roberto Luongo’s “Wish List”
At this point, it’s looking very much like Roberto Luongo will not be donning a Vancouver Canucks sweater next season.

TweetChicago Blackhawks: Is This Summer Make Or Break For Stan Bowman?
Last summer, the Chicago Blackhawks were among the more active teams as far as transactions go.

TweetBlackhawks Shouldn’t Give Up On Corey Crawford Just Yet
There’s no doubt about the fact that the Chicago Blackhawks‘ first round defeat at the hands of the Phoenix Coyotes was an incredible disappointment.

TweetSeason Comes To An End As Coyotes Eliminate Blackhawks In Game 6
No comeback this time around. After the near-magic of the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs, some wondered if the Chicago Blackhawks might have saved a little of that for this opening round series against the Phoenix Coyotes. They didn’t. The Coyotes knocked off the Blackhawks in Monday’s Game 6, ending what can easily be considered a [...]
