BLACKHAWKS RUMORS & GOSSIP

The Hot Seat: Joel Quenneville

The Blackhawks have dropped six games straight, only gaining a single point during the their worst stretch of the season against the Canucks on the first game of a nine game road trip. The last four games have been spent on the road with no success; outscored by the opposition 17-to-9 so far.

Blackhawks-Sharks Preview

Four of the Chicago Blackhawks' six consecutive losses have come during their nine-game road trip - a situation that might have the San Jose Sharks very concerned.

With the Blackhawks trapped in their long losing streak, both overall and on the road, the excuses, analysis, and possible fixes have all started pouring out. What hasn’t been mentioned too much so far is the obvious.

Blackhawks Might Actually Be Looking For A Goaltender After All

The recent struggles of the Chicago Blackhawks are well-documented. They’re bad. The team has had issues on both ends of the ice, with the more glaring issue obviously being on the blue line.

Is Corey Crawford done in Chicago?

Interesting question to say the least, but with a recent “tweet” from one of the Blackhawks long time beat writers, Tim Sassone saying TSN’s Darren Dreger mentioned that Stan Bowman is looking for a goaltender, well, this might be the case.

Prediction: Chicago Blackhawks won’t advance past first round of playoffs with current roster
