The Free Fall Continues, So Many Issues, Lachlan Olbrich’s First Basket, and Other Bulls Bullets

Growing up roughly 35 minutes north of Chicago, I am a master of the Midwest goodbye. Bleacher Nation announced my expected departure on Monday. The rather ambiguous Help Wanted post let folks know that a Bulls writing position is open, which I encourage anyone and everyone to apply for here . Since that news broke, I have gone on to hover by the coat rack and write 17 more posts. Just leave already, right? Saying farewell is hard. Sure, perhaps one reason is my Illinois origins, but...

Blackhawks vs Ducks — Lineups, Broadcast Info, Game Thread

The Blackhawks have lost five straight games. Their last game was an unusually flat performance on home ice, which was even more disappointing because they broke out their black uniforms for the first time in nearly two decades. They’ll have the black on again today. Hopefully the on-ice effort (at least) is better. The Anaheim Ducks come in 5-5-0 in their last 10 games and their last two games have been 5-4 finals (one regulation loss to Vancouver, Friday night an overtime win against th...
