Throughout the year for Michigan hockey, the expectation for star Blackhawks prospect Frank Nazar was that he would turn pro the second his collegiate season ended. With the Wolverines still alive in the NCAA playoffs, though, that’s no longer the case. Nazar and his teammates have advanced to the...
With just eight games left in his rookie season, 18-year-old Connor Bedard isn’t slowing down. The rookie phenom has only continued to improve, including during a very impressive month of March. In 14 games in that span, he picked up 17 points, building on a terrific season in the scoring column....
When the Blackhawks came out of the first round of last summer’s draft with both Connor Bedard and Oliver Moore, the entire event was already viewed as a huge win. The next six rounds didn’t matter; Chicago was already walking away with the “future of hockey” in Bedard and Moore, the class’s best...
If the career of rookie Connor Bedard develops as everyone expects it to, the 2023 NHL Draft Lottery will go down as one of the defining moments of Blackhawks history. After finishing the previous season with the third-worst record in the league, Chicago was awarded the first overall pick despite...
If there’s one thing the Blackhawks have done best over the past decade or so, it’s providing new, unique ways to present the game of hockey. The Original Six franchise is constantly innovating new ways to give its fans a new experience. We saw that take place most recently with the jersey...
To the naked eye, the Blackhawks’ comeback win over the Sharks Friday may have felt more like a loss for many fans. After gaining two points in the standings over the NHL’s worst team, Chicago faces very slim odds of finishing last in the league in points, which in turn would give them the highest...
The Blackhawks/Sharks game Friday night wasn’t exactly the most enticing viewing experience at first glance. A game between the two worst teams that didn’t start until 9:30 p.m. CDT won’t exactly break records for TV ratings. But those who skipped watching the game missed one of the most...
For Blackhawks fans who tuned in to Sunday night’s NCAA hockey championship bracket reveal, many of the individual names listed by the panel of analysts may have sounded familiar. That’s because Chicago is set to have a whopping six of its prospects appear in this week’s tournament regionals as...
Since the Blackhawks embarked on a complete rebuild almost two years ago, one of the main focuses has been the development of the goaltender room. At the NHL level, Chicago has found itself in a bit of a tricky spot – while starter Petr Mrazek has been outstanding, he’s 32 years old and likely...
Rookie defenseman Kevin Korchinski drew the ire of many fans and media members with an ugly performance in last night’s loss to the Kings. He scored a goal but was -4 on the night and allowed the opposing attackers to get into the crease pretty much at will. The lowlight came when he made a poor...
A few weeks ago, I wrote about the pleasant surprise that has been Alex Vlasic this season – and about how he won’t be the last one through the pipeline. As the “next Alex Vlasic”, defenseman Wyatt Kaiser has been just one year behind his star counterpart for the past several seasons. On Monday,...
The Corey Perry/Blackhawks nightmare appears to finally have been put to rest. On Friday, it was announced that Chicago and its former forward had reached a financial resolution to officially end their relationship. Although Perry’s camp alleged his release was an “improper contract termination”,...
