Meet the New Blackhawks: Ryan Carpenter

Meet the New Blackhawks: Ryan Carpenter

August 8th, 2019 For the first time in a long time, Chicago Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman had quite a bit of salary cap space to work with heading into the offseason. Instead of dishing out long-term, big-money contracts to a rather weak free-agent class, Bowman made most of his roster changes via the trade market. Bowman addressed his...
Blackhawks Roundtable: Line Combos, Management & Trades

Blackhawks Roundtable: Line Combos, Management & Trades

July 16th, 2018 It’s time to be honest with ourselves. The Chicago Blackhawks just aren’t the dynasty they used to be. Winning Cups in 2010, 2013, and 2015 has certainly raised expectations. The Hawks are supposed to be contenders every year, right? Wrong. The team has struggled in the past three seasons, and everyone is wondering if they can return...

November 10th, 2017 The Chicago Blackhawks and the Carolina Hurricanes match up Saturday night for the first time this season at the PNC Arena. It’s slated as a must-see game for Hawks fans, mostly because there’s a number of ex-Blackhawks now playing for Carolina. We were fortunate enough to hook up with Mark Shiver, The Hockey Writers' contributor...

Knights Poised to Play “Let’s Make a Deal”

June 7th, 2017 Typically, June is the month where all NHL business is put to rest before everyone heads out on summer vacation.

Speculation has already begun on a number of trades that could be consummated prior to the expansion draft that will...

Preview: Kruger Returns as Blackhawks Look to Solve Jets

Preview: Kruger Returns as Blackhawks Look to Solve Jets

January 26th, 2017 Marcus Kruger is set to return as the Chicago Blackhawks and Winnipeg Jets face off Thursday night in their fourth matchup of the 2016-17 season. Despite sitting in 28th place in the league, the Jets have given the sixth-place Blackhawks a very tough time this season. Winnipeg has come out on top in each of the previous three matchups...
Dennis Rasmussen Quietly Thrives

Dennis Rasmussen Quietly Thrives

December 3rd, 2016 Dennis Rasmussen isn't doing well. That's what the box score would lead you to think. Through 22 games this season, he has recorded two assists and one goal. That goal wasn't a play with showstopping skill and playmaking ability either. Ivan Provorov tripped while back-skating in his own zone, and gifted Rasmussen a breakaway opportunity...
5 Underrated Players on Chicago's Roster

5 Underrated Players on Chicago's Roster

July 31st, 2016 It is no secret that the Chicago Blackhawks are a star-studded team. With 2016 Calder Trophy recipient Artemi Panarin, 2016 Art Ross Trophy, Ted Lindsay Award, and Hart Trophy recipient Patrick Kane, two-time Norris Trophy winner Duncan Keith, and captain Jonathan Toews who is often compared to Sidney Crosby when it comes to who is not...
Could the Hawks Still Move Marcus Kruger?

Could the Hawks Still Move Marcus Kruger?

June 27th, 2016 The center ice position was one of the strongest for the Chicago Blackhawks just a few weeks ago. A group headlined by Jonathan Toews and supported by the likes of Artem Anisimov, Teuvo Teravainen, and Marcus Kruger boasted an impressive mix of two-way play and dazzling offensive skill. However, the recent loss of the promising...
What Andrew Shaw is Worth to Chicago

What Andrew Shaw is Worth to Chicago

May 16th, 2016 Unlike so many off-seasons before this one, Stan Bowman actually won't be forced to trade away a large portion of his roster to keep the team under the salary cap. Instead, he faces a few interesting free agent decisions on who will be back in Chicago next season, and who will be playing elsewhere. Atop that list of interesting...
Kruger's Return is Welcomed, but is His Contract?

Kruger's Return is Welcomed, but is His Contract?

March 29th, 2016 Losing center Marcus Kruger to a wrist injury back in mid-December was a frustrating loss for the Chicago Blackhawks. Not only was the veteran pivot in the midst of a disappointing offensive season, but he was due to become an RFA this offseason and was hoping for a new contract as well. All of these factors made the past few weeks very...
