We continue to talk our way thru the Blackhawks’ building process, and the progress we’re starting to see on the NHL ice with younger players beginning to impact the top-level product has started to provide some confidence that the draft-and-develop route the Blackhawks have taken is bearing fruit.
But there are still consistent, constant conversations all over Blackhawks nation about how — and with whom — the organization can bolster their roster to go from nice to seriously dangerous. P...

On Sunday night, the Blackhawks lost a game to the Los Angeles Kings. Early in the third period, forward Ilya Mikheyev put his speed on display while killing a penalty. He was in the process of creating a potential scoring chance — skating 1-on-3, I might add — when he got tripped. Mikheyev went into the boards hard behind the LA net and left the game. He did not return.

I asked Connor Bedard after the Blackhawks’ 3-1 loss last night about the Kings’ style of play — specifically from the perspective that the Blackhawks have been preaching process thru the lens of playoff approach/intensity. The Kings play a very specific style of game that suits their personnel. Bedard said the Kings play was “boring” — but did it in a way that he was very intentional to say it was “not a dig.” Just that the Kings crowded the blue line when the Hawks wanted to enter the zone a...

The Blackhawks might have been able to get away with some little miscues here and there against their last few opponents, but a good, veteran team like LA isn’t going to let them off the hook. They didn’t tonight. And it cost the Blackhawks a game with a few bad shifts early in the second period.
This game started pretty well, though. There were really very few things to complain about after 20 minutes. The Blackhawks out-shot the Kings 11-6, had a 17-10 shot attempt advantage at 5-on-5, ...

After a big win in Tampa, the Blackhawks come home one of the hotter teams in the entire National Hockey League. They’ll welcome the Los Angeles Kings to the United Center for an early evening game on a Sunday.
The Kings lost 5-4 in Nashville in a shootout last night, so they’re coming in off a late night with travel. The Hawks had a nice skate at Fifth Third on Saturday to get back to work tonight. Let’s see if the Hawks can keep their momentum moving forward with another win.

This evening’s game at the United Center might, to some, look like just another good test for a young Blackhawks team against a stronger veteran lineup in the Western Conference that many feel could be a contender. But for some others, there’s a bittersweet significance.
On Saturday, the Los Angeles Kings activated their captain, future Hall of Fame center , off injured reserve. Which means he’s available for tonight to be the final time he skates against the Blackhawks at the United Cent...

On Friday afternoon, the Blackhawks and Canucks made a trade. This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, as the two teams have been dumping pieces they didn’t know to do with on each other for years.
That’s especially been the case since Kyle Davidson became the general manager of the Blackhawks. Since taking over as the interim GM, Davidson has made five separate trades with the Canucks.
As a reminder: I continue to have Davidson’s entire history as the Blackhawks’ general manager h...
