Last night the Blackhawks played a great game despite their first regulation loss of the season. Antti Raanta stood on his head, stopping 33 of 34 shots. Vinnie Hinostroza showed that he’s starting to come into his own by recording two goal. Niklas Hjalmarsson made his presence felt with three blocked shots as well. And
At the end of the day, I know I shouldn’t really be upset that the Hawks have recorded at least a point in each of their first five games. There are plenty of teams that would be happy to have 8 points through five games (Looking at you, Vegas). To be tied for first in
Banner raising ceremonies are always an emotional night. It’s one last time to acknowledge the success your team had the previous season before officially putting everything behind you. Whether the team won their very first Stanley Cup, appeared in the Cup Finals as the most successful expansion team ever, or won their first ever President’s
I am not an unreasonable man. I like my beer cold, my pizza hot, and my hockey games to be played at a time that is reasonably watchable. During a long day in the office yesterday I tried to turn on some hockey to break up the monotony. Nothing to break up the day quite
The Calgary Flames don’t have a great history with their sweaters, especially their alternates. Adjectives used to describe their previous third jerseys range from “fine” to “bizarre.” With such a checkered past in their equipment department the Flames very easily could have messed up this season’s new alternates.

There’s been a lot of movement this offseason. Whether it’s been through their own choices in free agency or team needs in trades a lot of guys are now on new teams. As a fan, it sucks. It’s inevitable and you know that eventually it’s going to happen but it still sucks. But for every
One of the biggest travesties in the history of mankind was when every lost their third jersey option last season. That grievous wrong is being righted for the 2018-19 season. Only a handful of teams will be wearing new threads this season, not including Winter Classic/Stadium Series specials. So far the Hurricanes, Coyotes, Ducks, Flyers,
Unlike my partner Zane, I have a little bit of hockey experience. That experience may be one year of pee-wee roller hockey when I was nine but it still counts. What I’m saying is I’ve held a hockey stick more than three times in my life. In addition, I can skate a little. When I
Last week’s seven player swap between the Blackhawks and Coyotes was a bittersweet move for Hawks fans. The team not only parted ways with fan favorite and Demi-god, Marian Hossa, but also gave up promising young center Vinnie Hinostroza. The blow was softened a touch by the $5.75 million dollars in cap space the Hawks
