The 2022-23 season has been trying for Chicago Blackhawks fans. It started at the NHL Entry Draft when general manager Kyle Davidson began the daunting chore of tearing down and rebuilding this storied franchise. Fans had to say goodbye to Kirby Dach and Alex DeBrincat. Dach was just three years removed from being drafted third-overall, but injuries and zero patience…
Kyle Davidson met the Chicago Blackhawks media on Thursday for his annual end-of-season press conference. The Chicago Blackhawks’ GM spoke for over 30 minutes and covered a number of important topics, the biggest of which turned heads all around the city. Here’s what we learned. Jonathan Toews will not be back next season. We’ll start with the day’s biggest news.…
It’s been a difficult year for the rebuilding Chicago Blackhawks, and maybe even more difficult for their fans. With the team losing by design, losses were expected. The trades of Patrick Kane, Max Domi, Jake McCabe, Sam Lafferty and Jack Johnson removed many of the players that made the season somewhat palatable. Since the deadline has passed, the Hawks have…
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…
When a team is rebuilding as the Chicago Blackhawks are, it’s easy to become laser-focused on the generational draft talent that awaits in the upcoming draft. I know I’m guilty of being on “Bedard Watch” all the time. Sometimes, that focus can distract us from what’s happening with players already in the system. Forward Cole Guttman is a great example.…
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…
On the second night of back-to-back games, the Chicago Blackhawks looked like a team that was on the second night of back-to-back games. After dispatching of the St. Louis Blues 24 hours prior, the Blackhawks were unable to get the same kind of result, with a similar effort, against the Los Angeles Kings. Behind Jaret Anderson-Dolan’s two-goal performance and Pheonix…
Well Blackhawks fans, we’re officially halfway through season one of the rebuild. That wasn’t so bad, was it? WAS IT? Okay, it was pretty bad, but there have been some signs of positivity that can’t be ignored, despite the team’s current standing at the bottom of the league. A while back, I handed out my 25 Game Awards to, at…
Following an 8-5 loss by the Chicago Blackhawks to the Seattle Kraken on Saturday night, head coach Luke Richardson sounded the most disappointed he has been all season in his club. The ‘stern Dad’ persona of Richardson was on full display as he called out his team after their 30th loss this season saying, “Nobody was prepared to play tonight.…
Ahead of Sunday night’s game against Calgary, Lukas Reichel has an opportunity to solidify his status as “NHL-ready.”
