Blackhawks Stanley Cup Champions Tribute
Before we turn the page on hockey season, I wanted to give the great sport fans of Chicago one last tribute to their 2010 Stanley Cup Champion Blackhawks. I'm a little sad to turn that page to focus on baseball, the NBA Draft, NBA free agency, Season 2 of the Jersey Shore, NFL training camps, how many cheeseburgers Lou Piniella has eaten since May [...]
How We Roll In Chi-Town
Is it possible to be emotionally high and drunk for 4 straight days? I'm thinking it is because I've reached a high I've never felt before. No, not even when I was in Jamaica for The Blade's wedding. Sure, some beers, champagne, and a few vodka's have helped the cause, but what a whirlwind it's been since Wednesday night. I've excused myself [...]
One Goal…..ACCOMPLISHED!
Well, that sure as hell wasn't easy. You'll have to excuse me if I'm a little out of it. I forgot what's it's like to celebrate a championship and was up all night. Stand up Chi-town, your Blackhawks are world champions. A 4-3 overtime (overtime? REALLY?!) win in the house that Rocky built, propelled the Hawks to their first Stanley Cup [...]

Quick, what were you doing in June of '92? If you were like me, you were rocking Z Cavaricci jeans thinking about Kelly Kapowski. (I would have owned Bayside High, but that's a different discussion) Besides wearing those hideous jeans, trying to look cool, I was in sports heaven. That spring, the Bulls and Blackhawks both made their sports [...]
On To The Next One
To quote Jay-Z, it's on to the next one for the Blackhawks. After disposing of the Vancouver Crybabies 5-1, they are on their way to San Jose to face the number 1 seeded Sharks. This Hawks team boggles my mind. They looked lost, bored, and hungover in Game 5. I made up the hungover part, but after those pictures in the limo.......Oh, never [...]
Blackhawks vs Canucks Game 5 Running Blog
With a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Vancouver Crybaby's... err Canucks, the Blackhawks are back at the United Center with a chance to close out their Western Conference Semi-finals series. With the Hawks in such a prime position, I decided to do a running diary for Game 5. Having been to Game 5 of the Nashville Predators series, it's hard [...]
Blackhawks 1st Round Preview
After a franchise record 52 wins, the real season begins Friday night for The Chicago Blackhawks. The 2010 NHL Playoffs begin with a matchup vs the 7th seed, Nashville Predators. Ever since the Hawks lost last season's Western Conference Finals to the hated Red Wings in 5 games, Hawks fans have waited almost a year to get to the real season. The [...]
Gold Medal Game Recap
I was originally against the NHL players participating in these Winter Olympics because, as a Blackhawks fan, I figured the Chicago curse would rear it's ugly head and one of the 6 Hawks players would leave the Vancouver Olympics with some lower body injury (I love how vague hockey is with their injury descriptions). I am also glad I was wrong [...]
Team USA, Tiger, & The Bumbling Bears
People say that February is a dead period for sports. It's either that, or that people are depressed by bad weather, horrendous drivers, or the thought of another injury riddled Cubs season that is right around the corner. There were a few things that stood out to me over the past few days, and I decided to channel my inner Ryne Sandberg and spray [...]
The Roar Is Back
There is finally a must see sports team in Chicago. No, not the bumbling Bears or the happy to be mediocre Bulls. Neither one of those two putrid teams can hold a candle to the United Center's other tenant, The Chicago Blackhawks. The roar is back in Chicago. The Hawks put themselves back on the map last year with a remarkable run to the NHL's [...]
