Would you believe it if I said the drama with Corey Perry unfolded in the same calendar year as when we lost legend Bobby Hull? Or that Patrick Kane departed in the same year as Connor Bedard met fellow 2023 first-overall pick Victor Wembanyama? It’s safe to say it’s been a long year for Blackhawks...
It doesn’t even seem possible at this point, but Connor Bedard is improving every single month. The 18-year-old rookie wrapped up his third month of NHL play in Sunday night’s loss at Dallas, and December was his best month yet. At the end of November, the biggest issue in the game of Chicago’s...
Though the NHL trade deadline is more than two months away, rumors of potential player moves are already running rampant. The Blackhawks are a team still trying to find its identity, and as such, they’re at the center of many of these rumors. Whether there’s any element of truth to it or not, the...
It sounds impossible, but the Blackhawks’ rookie may be exceeding our expectations at this point. After he was heralded as one of the best prospects in NHL history, Connor Bedard was drafted first overall by the Blackhawks, who won the draft lottery and knew who they were drafting nearly two months...
With the World Junior Championships kicking off Tuesday morning, much of the focus of Blackhawks fans was on Team USA and its four Chicago prospects. The impressive list included Frank Nazar, Oliver Moore, Gavin Hayes, and Sam Rinzel. All four skaters will hope to use the international spotlight to...
As we near the midpoint of the NHL season, things couldn’t get much worse for the Blackhawks, who currently hold a record of 10-22-1. The team wasn’t expected to make much noise this year, but it didn’t take long for fans to begin looking forward to the draft lottery more than a potential playoff...
Since the beginning of his career back in October, Blackhawks rookie Connor Bedard has been the overwhelming favorite to win the Calder Trophy, the NHL’s Rookie of the Year award. As the most highly touted prospect to enter the draft since at least Connor McDavid in 2015, the 18-year-old faced huge...
Blackhawks rookie first-overall pick Connor Bedard has seen it all in his first six months in Chicago. As one of the most highly touted prospects to ever enter the league, Bedard was hounded by the media long before he even joined the professional ranks. That extensive coverage has allowed the...
Before Tuesday night’s big win over the Avalanche, the then-9-20-1 Blackhawks were a struggling team, to say the least. On a four-game losing streak, the squad had suffered extensive injuries and had an IR list that seemed to grow with every game. After beginning the season on IR while recovering...
For Blackhawks fans, the first 30 games of this season have been nothing short of a complete disaster. The team holds the worst record in the NHL at 9-20-1 and one could argue this year’s squad is even worse than last year’s, even with the addition of Connor Bedard. A lack of talent on the roster...
After Sunday afternoon’s game against Vancouver, in which Connor Murphy and Joey Anderson both left early due to injury, veteran leader Nick Foligno voiced his frustration and put into words what we’re all feeling: “It’s kind of laughable, honestly, that we’re losing a guy every game here.” - Nick...
As expected, rookie Connor Bedard is already putting together a strong case for the Calder Trophy this year. With 12 goals and 12 assists on the season, Bedard has been far and away the best rookie, and the best player on his team. Perhaps the most impressive part of Bedard’s start to the season is...
