The Chicago Blackhawks endured a tough 2023-24 season, finishing 31st overall and far from playoff contention. However, rookie sensation Connor Bedard, who was taken with the first overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft and won the Calder Trophy, emerged as a bright spot on the team. The Blackhawks’ selection of Bedard came after their […]

It wasn’t so long ago that Chicago Blackhawks forward Taylor Hall won the Hart Trophy as the NHL’s Most Valuable Player — but it’s been tough sledding for the veteran since then.

The San Jose Sharks were not good in 2023-24. Their poor performance won them the NHL Draft Lottery in the spring. But it also led to the Sharks firing head coach David Quinn after the season ended.

The Chicago Blackhawks have completed their NHL Free Agency business for the summer. Chicago brought back a familiar face when they signed Teuvo Teravainen to a multi-year contract. Outside of that, the Blackhawks signed veterans like Tyler Bertuzzi, Alec Martinez, and TJ Brodie in the offseason. All of these moves are meant to provide support […]

The Chicago Blackhawks were hit with a discouraging injury to their free agent signing, Laurent Brossoit. He recently underwent knee surgery and is expected to miss five to seven weeks, the team announced. This comes after signing Brossoit during free agency to form a one-two goalie duo with Petr Mrazek. The ten-year veteran was a […]

The Chicago Blackhawks received the second overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft this season. On one hand, this is a great benefit to a rebuilding franchise. Especially for a team that picked first overall in 2023. However, Chicago received this pick due to a nightmare performance during the 2023-24 season. A nightmare performance they […]

Chicago Blackhawks forward Taylor Hall missed a lot of time due to injuries in 2023-24. In fact, the former Hart Trophy winner played just 10 games for Chicago this past season. It was a major blow to the Blackhawks, but they are getting their veteran forward back for the 2024-25 season. And Hall is gearing […]

The Chicago Blackhawks were one of the worst teams in the National Hockey League in 2023-24; not even Connor Bedard could help this roster escape the basement of the Central Division.

The Chicago Blackhawks aren’t accustomed to being a team on the outside looking in.

It’s been rough for them in the past seven years, missing the playoffs six times and losing in […]

The Chicago Blackhawks are looking to take a step forward in 2024-25. The Blackhawks watched Connor Bedard win the Calder Trophy as the best rookie in 2023-24.

Along with the San Jose Sharks, the Chicago Blackhawks were absolutely awful in 2023-24.

The Chicago Blackhawks have had a difficult transition period, going several consecutive years without a postseason appearance.

And the 29-year-old, who […]

The Chicago Blackhawks seemed content to let their deep prospect pool grow together over the next few years.

The Chicago Blackhawks are entering a new era with former 2023 No. 1 overall pick Connor Bedard. However, before Bedard’s time, Chicago was a winning team under former head coach Joel Quenneville.
