Unlike most men who run NHL teams, Brian Burke doesn't major in pitching trades and minor in pitching wedges. He hates golf. Blessed with a Harvard law degree and cursed by an obsession to work until he drops, the Whalers general manager thinks golf...

Havlat stays hot for Blackhawks

Nikolai Khabibulin was happy to win Sunday, no question about that. But, boy, just once he would like to have an easy game. "Every time we jump to a big lead, we can't seem to stick with it and get an easy game," the goaltender said after the...

Hawks' loss follows a familiar pattern

2006-11-22 21:47:00

If Wednesday night's 4-1 loss to the Calgary Flames looked familiar, it should. The Blackhawks have played many games like it this season�bad start saved only by outstanding goaltending, a goal to get back in the game, but not nearly enough sustained...

Thanks for reading this week, and especially to the Max Kellerman fans who took over the blog for a couple of days. I have to go now, as tickets to the Nov. 28 Cornell-B.U. game at Madison Square Garden went......

1 step up, 2 back for Hawks

2002-11-12 00:00:00

After taking what seemed like a significant step forward Thursday night at the United Center, the Blackhawks did an about-face Friday night at the Xcel Energy Center. By the time they got themselves turned around again to make a late charge against...

Hawks' offense fails to win, place or show

2002-05-24 11:25:17

Never at a loss for a rustic simile, Brian Sutter likened coaching the Blackhawks to riding a horse before they fell to the Edmonton Oilers 1-0 Tuesday night in the Skyreach Centre. "You've got to understand the type of horse you're riding," said the...

Neil Milbert on the Blackhawks

I've noticed that Mark Bell is quietly having a solid season, on pace to score around 25 goals. Do you think there is a chance that he can still match his No. 1 draft pick potential? --Nick Junker, Mundelein, Ill. In my opinion, Mark Bell is on his way...

Hawks get better at home

2002-05-24 11:27:54

The thunderous ovation that accompanied the national anthem before the Blackhawks' home opener Thursday night brought back memories of bygone nights in Chicago Stadium. Then, the Hawks went out and did something they used to do with regularity in the...

Bob Foltman on the Hawks

I heard somewhere that Detroit may be interested in acquiring Alex Zhamnov to relieve their problems at center with the loss of Sergei Federov. As someone who definitely thought trading Jeremy Roenick for Zhamnov was a bad idea, I would like to see the...

Thibault, Daze to the rescue

A goal-line stand by Jocelyn Thibault and a pair of goals by Eric Daze made the Blackhawks' highlight films Sunday night when they escaped with a 2-2 overtime tie with the Columbus Blue Jackets in the United Center. Thibault made the game-saving stop...

When a team is having trouble scoring goals, the solution is a simple one, Blackhawks coach Brian Sutter says. "Pucks have to go to the net. There is no other way," Sutter was saying at the Hawks' Thursday morning skate. "When pucks aren't going in,...

Probie was my favorite player growing up. I'm a hockey player, and I wore No. 24 and I still wear No. 24 because of Bob Probert. I love the way he played. I love the style of game and all that shit. You've got your fight face on. I just saw it. Yeah, I've got a broken nose from hockey.

2nd grade, my uncle got it for me for my birthday. I wore it when I was younger but it was always really big on me. I'm home from college this weekend and just decided to wear it, but I haven't worn it in so long. Do you have any other Hawks jerseys? I used to have an Eric Daze.
