Blackhawks Feeling The Losing Pressure

from Adam L. Jahns of the Chicago Sun-Times, The mere notion of coach Joel Quenneville getting fired seemed so far-fetched even when the Blackhawks were in a bad slump earlier this season. After all, he’s the coach who led the Hawks to their first Stanley Cup in decades. Now, regardless of how many holes the Hawks’ roster might have, it’s hard to believe he’...

Should the Chicago Blackhawks employ the dreaded trap?

With the recent struggles of the Chicago Blackhawks and currently on an 8 game losing slide, something has to be done to get them out of this catastrophe.

Chicago Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville explains defensive struggles

The Chicago Blackhawks need to turn around the skid they find themselves in during the current nine-game road trip. It’s not the inability of Ray Emery or Corey Crawford to stop pucks. It’s the blue line lapses, Quenneville agrees. An excerpt from the Chicago Tribune’s exclusive interview with Quenneville: Chris Kuc: Is there enough time to right the ship defensively...

Road Trip From Hell Continues For Chicago

from Chris Kuc of the Chicago Tribune, Try as they might, the Blackhawks searched for some positives following their seventh consecutive defeat. “Right now, minutes after another loss, it’s tough to look at the bright side of things,” captain Jonathan Toews said in the morgue-like atmosphere of the Hawks’ dressing room after their 5-3 loss to the Sharks on...

Blackhawks Could Seek Reunion With Nikolai Khabibulin

It’s almost impossible to sugarcoat how bad the Blackhawks have played of late. When you’ve lost eight in a row, there isn’t really room to attempt to pull positives, even if there are any. What this recent losing streak has done, though, is get the rumor mill going even more than it already was, not just in relation to players, but front office personnel and the...

Stuck In Miserable Losing Streak, Is Joel Quenneville’s Job On The Line?

When this nine-game road trip started, few would have predicted that the Blackhawks would have dropped their first five. Even fewer would have predicted that there would be, not only whispers, but loud questions over whether or not Joel Quenneville‘s job is entirely safe in Chicago. In their loss to the San Jose Sharks on Friday night, it seemed like every problem with this...

Jeremy Roenick Wants Number Retired By Blackhawks

The Blackhawks lost their eighth consecutive game in a pretty lifeless effort against the Phoenix Coyotes on Saturday. But there was one positive to pull, at it didn’t have anything to do with the guys on the ice. Prior to the game, the Coyotes inducted Jeremy Roenick into their Ring of Honor. He joined fellow former Coyote Keith Tkachuk, who was also inducted earlier this...

Stan Bowman’s Lack Of Urgency Could Cost Blackhawks

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. The Blackhawks came into the season without a true no. 2 center behind Jonathan Toews, and they expected Nick Leddy to turn into Brian Campbell 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. One would find it odd that Stan Bowman would come out publicly stating that [...]

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. Those issues on defense came to the forefront when they gave up odd man rush after odd man rush against the Colorado Avalanche in their 5-2 loss on Tuesday. Yet, as much talk as there...

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

With the Chicago Blackhawks’ loss of 5-2 Tuesday against the Colorado Avalanche, a dark cloud hangs over the 2010 Stanley Cup Champions. At this rate, the Blackhawks aren’t destined to go far in the playoffs, if, at all. Despite roster overhauls and a revolving door of goalies, it had seemed as if Corey Crawford proved to be the answer to a need in a franchise goalie...
