Born and raised in Chicago. I am a huge Chicago sports fan, self taught drummer, and video game enthusiast. All about the B’s: Blackhawks, Bears, Bulls, Baseball, Beards, and Beer. I am also a pro wrestling fan (WWE/NJPW/ROH).
Earlier today, it was reported that Brandon Saad and Artem Anisimov may be on the trade block. I honestly can’t say that I blame the Blackhawks. Seems like StanBo is taking the whole “New Year, New Me” thing pretty seriously and I like it.
Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat have had a hell of a week. Kane and DeBrincat are finally starting to tap into the potential that has been lying dormant since the Blackhawks drafted latter in 2016. Kane and the Cat are two bright spots in a dull season.
Even though the Blackhawks lost to the Flames 4-3, the game wasn't a total loss. For one, Alex DeBrincat scored his 20th goal of the season and it was a beaut. For the 2nd season in a row, Alex DeBrincat has reached the 20 goal benchmark.
With anything, there will always be some bad that comes with the good. The Blackhawks' 2018 has tons of blurred lines and the "good" would have been considered mediocre a few years ago during the decade-long Stanley Cup run, but that's where we stand. This is the unfortunate truth, but I'm here to help you embrace it.
The Blackhawks announced a trade involving D Brandon Manning and D Robin Norell. The Blackhawks acquired F Drake Caggiula and D Jason Garrison from EDM.
Blackhawks' prospect, Evan Barratt, scored the game-winning goal for Team USA in the U20 IIHF World Junior Championship tournament. Barratt executed a picture perfect backhander to seal the victory for Team USA.
If the Blackhawks were to have any chance of beating the Colorado Avalanche, they would need strong performances from the defense as well as Collin Delia. This is exactly what the Blackhawks got.
Well, it looks like Coach Q doesn't have a new job after all -- not yet at least. On Sunday, December 16th, various reputable news outlets reported Joel Quenneville would become the next head coach of the Philadelphia Flyers and it seemed like a done deal -- for a while.
