Those who knew the name Jim Cornelison stood, cheered, and were immediately distraught over what to do with their hands. As the Chicago Blackhawks’ national anthem singer strutted his way out to the center of James Naismith Court — 2010 Stanley Cup championship ring and all —noise began to build. Conflicted by continuing the tradition [...]

Jimmy Howard needed a win. After missing the last eight games for the Red Wings with a broken finger, Howard saw opportunity to reclaim his net, and re-establish his dominance. Joey MacDonald had done well in relief of the injured Howard, but he wasn’t the reliable goalie the Wings had been used to all season. [...]

The Blackhawks came into Columbus looking to boost their confidence against the lagging Blue Jackets. After a 6-1 victory, it seems the Hawks have done just that. Corey Crawford, after a solid appearance in New York on Thursday, got the nod in net, and early in the first period allowed a breakaway goal from Derrick [...]

At a time when his team needed him most, Jonathan Toews delivered. Only 65 seconds into Chicago’s 4-2 victory over the league leading New York Rangers the captain was called upon to give his team an early lead on the road. Ranger defenseman Dan Girardi was whistled for covering a loose puck in the crease [...]

In Tort law, if one decides to help someone in need they take on an obligation to complete the treatment they are giving.   According to that law, Blackhawks defenseman Niklas Hjarlmasson, Brent Seabrook, and Nick Leddy should all be thrown in jail.   The trio were a combined -7 in Friday night’s 8-4 thrashing [...]

After falling in Vancouver 3-2 in overtime Tuesday night, the Chicago Blackhawks (29-15-7) head to Edmonton where they look to get their first win of their nine-game road trip tonight against the Oilers (19-26-5).   And while the Oiler’s record has them sitting in 14th place in the Western Conference, against the Hawks this season [...]

Around the time Alex Burrows was pulling Duncan Keith’s hair in a 4-0 Vancouver victory in Chicago back in March, 2009 Andrew Shaw found himself on the 26-31-11 Niagara IceDogs of the Ontario Hockey League.   That season Shaw only scored 17 points (8 goals, 9 assists), was a -4, and was along way away [...]

The Chicago Blackhawks will beat the Vancouver Canucks tonight 4-2, with Jonathan Toews scoring a third-period hat trick — or at least that’s how EA Sports sees it.   The Blackhawks posted the above summary from an NHL 12 video game simulation of tonight’s matchup — 9:00 p.m. at Vancouver — on their official Facebook [...]

The Chicago Blackhawks announced Friday night they have acquired center Brendan Morrison from the Calgary Flames in exchange for defenseman prospect Brian Connelly of the Rockford IceHogs.   The second round draft pick — 39th overall — of the New Jersey Devils in 2002, Morrison has tallied over 600 points in 16 seasons — scoring [...]

The Blackhawks said goodbye to the United Center for the next three weeks tonight, yet fans have been wondering where the team has been since a 3-1 victory over Florida last Friday.   They certainly weren’t in Nashville, where a 5-2 thrashing bumped the Central Division leaders from their throne.   And they certainly aren’t [...]
