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).
During the game tonight, Corey Crawford was helped off the ice by Blackhawks' head athletic trainer, Mike Gapski, and they both went straight to the locker room. Crawford was later diagnosed with a concussion and will enter the NHL concussion protocol.
Last night during the Blackhawks game, beloved Blackhawks' mascot, Tommy Hawk, manhandled a "fan" who was up to no good -- and he looked good doing it. It was total domination from the start and Tommy controlled the entire exchange. Basically, this was a combination of Randy Couture and Kurt Angle in their prime.
Blackhawks' head coach, Jeremy Colliton, called out his players and questioned their manhood. Surprisingly, I think it may have actually worked. Last night, the Blackhawks played a strong game and a full 60 minutes which led to an impressive 6-3 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Former Blackhawks' defenseman, Brent Sopel, has recently taken on a new fight. Brent has shifted his focus from fighting on the ice to now fighting a personal demon, in the form of dyslexia. He is not only fighting dyslexia for himself but also, for his kids and other kids around the world.
Artemi Panarin to Chicago is not as crazy of an idea as it once was. By trading Nick Schmaltz to the Arizona Coyotes, the Blackhawks have freed up a nice chunk of change that they were intending to pay Schmaltz next offseason.
Last night, the Blackhawks announced a trade via Twitter. They have traded forward Nick Schmaltz to the Arizona Coyotes for forwards Dylan Strome and Brendan Perlini.
When Coach Q walked the plank, it seemed like the end was near. That was until Corey Crawford returned to his usual elite form and saved the day. He patched the Blackhawks' ship enough to prevent it from sinking to the depths of the ocean -- for now.
