After last season’s disastrous start…a start that began with a 1-9-2 record and a coach firing, it would have been very easy for the Blackhawks to just promote their interim head coach Derek King. After all, the full-blown rebuild was on, and the results of the games didn’t matter. Why not give a good guy a chance to see what…
The trade deadline isn’t easy for anyone. From the players rumored to be moving, to the general managers who are trying to improve the team’s future, to the teammates watching their friends move, to the players leaving a contender to join a rebuild, it can be a tough time of year. But for some, change can offer opportunity. Monday night’s…
The dust has settled, and the Chicago Blackhawks that we all once knew and loved, however, you show your love to this team, has been dismantled. General manager Kyle Davidson has shown that he is committed to the rebuilding process and is sticking to his plan to build the organization back up from top to bottom and from the bottom…
I’ve been covering hockey for a long time. Patrick Kane had been a Blackhawk for a long time. The first Chicago Blackhawks event I officially covered for 670 The Score was June 22, 2007.

Davidson traded defenseman Jake McCabe (50% retained), forward Sam Lafferty, a 2024 fifth-round pick (conditional) and a 2025 fifth-round pick (conditional) to Toronto on Monday afternoon for forwards…
One of the game’s most legendary and decorated captains has to sit at home hoping things get better, and it sucks.
This was not the ending to this story that any of us hoped for. For nearly a year, Chicago Blackhawks Captain Jonathan Toews’ future with the organization was under the microscope. Every word of his was dissected as a “he wants to stay” or “he wants out” comment when most of them weren’t really definitive either way. All while his…
At one point in time, Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews were the top trade targets that the Chicago Blackhawks had to offer the other 31 NHL teams. That “one point in time” was essentially the past 11 months. Since the NHL All-Star break came and went, things have transpired for both players that have clouded their immediate futures with the…
