Jimmy Hayes Making An Impact In First Action With Blackhawks
As tired as we may be of hearing about Dustin Byfuglien, the Blackhawks haven’t really had a guy that could fill a presence like that in the lineup.
The Hawks have really lacked that type of size since he was traded in the summer of 2010, and even with the sandpaper added to the lineup this summer, there still isn’t that type of player that the team can just plant in...
Montador returns for Blackhawks; Kruger still out
The struggling Chicago Blackhawks will add some experience to the defensive core with the return of Steve Montador from injury and the insertion of Sean O'Donnell into the lineup for Sunday night's game against the Detroit Red Wings.
Patrick Sharp Injured In Blackhawks’ Loss To Red Wings
The Blackhawks managed to get a point on Sunday night against the hated Detroit Red Wings. The Wings won a physical game with an overtime goal, courtesy of Pavel Datsyuk, during an absolute mess in front of the net, that left Corey Crawford under defenseman Steve Montador.
That wasn’t really the story, though. The story wasn’t the putrid officiating throughout the game...
Chicago Blackhawks’ Corey Crawford faces critical game against Detroit Red Wings
If Corey Crawford wants to get back on the good graces of the faithful at the Mad House on Madison, then tonight is the night to do it.
Crawford is in search of his first win of the new year, but is entering just the third start in that time frame. His two losses: 4-0 against the Colorado Avalanche (Jan. 6) and 4-3 against the Edmonton Oilers (Jan. 2).
Corey Crawford will look to...
Red Wings 3, Blackhawks 2, OT
Pavel Datsyuk banked in a shot from a bad angle off Chicago defenseman Nick Leddy for the winning goal 3:08 into overtime, and the Detroit Red Wings beat the Blackhawks 3-2 on Sunday night.
After Corey Crawford made two point-blank saves, Datsyuk got to the loose puck along the goal line to the goalie's left, whiffed once and then snapped a rising shot that hit Leddy and bounded...
Why Nick Leddy is Struggling
Of the Hawks recent skid, the most noticeable wart has been their second defensive pairing. During these three games, and probably a little longer than that, Nick Leddy and Niklas Hjalmarsson have been just plain awful.
Leddy's getting most of the headlines about it, which isn't fair because part of his struggles can be attributed to Hammer being completely non-existent...
Did The Blackhawks Make A Mistake In Trading Brian Campbell?
Heading into the summer, it was assumed that a few more players from the 2010 Stanley Cup-winning Chicago Blackhawks would be gone. And what happened was just that.
The Hawks traded all of Troy Brouwer, Tomas Kopecky (who was a free agent), and Brian Campbell over the summer, loading up on draft picks and hoping to replace each of them with cheaper veterans.
While the team has been...
Avalanche Smother Blackhawks 4-0
After an impressive third period comeback in Philadelphia on Thursday night, the Blackhawks appeared to leave any willingness to compete in Pennsylvania. As was the case in the first 40 minutes against the Flyers, the most impressive players on the … Continue reading →
