Zawaski: Thoughts On The Upcoming Blackhawks Season

Now that the ugliness of the lockout is behind us, I’ve been spending most of my day (and NHL 13 video game season) contemplating how the 2013-13 (heh) Blackhawks will look and what we can expect from the season.

Zawaski: Blackhawks Uniforms Rank 5th In All Sports

Anyone with a functioning pair of eyes can see that the Blackhawks have one of the finest uniforms in all of professional sports. It can not be disputed.

Once again, Patrick Kane’s public drunkenness has brought embarrassment to his team, his family, his organization, and to the fans of the Chicago Blackhawks.

Zawaski: Rushing Toews Back Would Be A Mistake

While Toews obviously makes the team better, risking re-injury is not worth what could amount to a meaningless win or two.

Corey Crawford

Zawaski: Crawford Named NHL’s ‘Second Star’ Of The Week

Zawaski: Signing Carcillo ‘A No Brainer’

When Carcillo was in the lineup, he was very effective. He spent much of his time on the top line with Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane or Marian Hossa.

Stan Bowman

Zawaski: Bowman Had Chances To Improve Blackhawks

As the hours, then the minutes before the NHL Trade Deadline ticked away, Hawks fans everywhere were getting more and more uneasy. “Would General Manager Stan Bowman make a move?” “The Hawks have so many holes…they need at least a defenseman and a center.”

Zawaski: NHL’s Instigator Rule Hurting The Game

When Jared Boll left his feet to deliver a check on Andrew Brunette last night, Montador answered what was a borderline illegal hit as almost any NHL teammate worth his salt would have — he dropped the gloves.

Zawaski: Sharp Out 3-4 Weeks, Smith Recalled

Last night, Patrick Sharp gave the Blackhawks an early 2-0 lead over the Red Wings with a slap shot from the slot. Unfortunately, it looks like that’s the last time he’ll light the lamp for the Hawks for quite a while.
