The Blackhawks have had to deal with some injuries already this season as the team still awaits for Marian Hossa to make his debut -- which they hope will be December 1 -- Adam Burish hasn't played a game this season, and Jonathan Toews recently had to miss some time due to a concussion. And those are just some of the dings and dents they've suffered through so far. Center Dave Bolland had

First, Adam Burish. Then Dave Bolland. Then, Jonathan Toews. Then, Bolland again. The Blackhawks were getting so thin at center that they were trying everyone except me and you. Even after Monday night’s impressive 4-1 win over the Kings at...

from Julia Keller of the Chicago Tribune, We think we’re enlightened. We think we’re evolved. We think we’re past all that nasty old stuff from the bad old days. We think we’re “post-racial,” to use the curious term that popped up in the wake of President Barack Obama’s election. Then a couple of fun-loving but culturally tone-deaf Blackhawks decided to dress...

OK, Clooney, Redford. Here are some more girls in Halloween costumes for you to argue about. And to make sure this isn’t a completely non-sports related post, here’s Blackhawks’ captain Jonathan Toews and winger Adam Burish dressed up as Harry and Lloyd from Dumb and Dumber. Over here, a less dudeish version of the costume. (Make [...]

from Len Ziehm of the Chicago Sun-Times, ‘’We’re getting used to all the hoopla and off-ice shenanigans and stuff like that,’’ center Jonathan Toews said. ‘’There’s always a lot going on around us.’’ ‘’It’ll be nice to see what kind of suit [Adam] Burish has on, or if he wears a stupid hat to make a fool of himself,’’...

While Canadiens coach Jacques Martin was audibly cursing on the bench last night, he must have been silently wondering if injured, star blueliner Andrei Markov could have made any difference in Vancouver's 7-1 drubbing of Montreal. In another Province, Maple Leafs coach Ron Wilson found a blessing in disguise. He no longer has to practice his "I don't make goaltending decisions to please the...

from Darren Dreger of TSN, Monitoring each NHL team’s proximity to the NHL’s $56.8 million salary cap has become a daily routine. The Chicago Blackhawks are a great example of a team whose payroll indicates that moves are coming and good players could have to go. The Blackhawks have 13 players under contract for 2010-2011 and a committed payroll of $43 million. Assuming the cap stays the...

from Mike Brophy of Sportsnet, Another huge concern is the team’s goaltending. With Nikolai Khabibulin departed for Edmonton, the starter’s job falls to Cristobal Huet. Yikes! Huet has enjoyed a certain level of success in his five-year NHL career with Los Angeles, Montreal, Washington and now the Blackhawks, but he has done absolutely nothing to suggest he can be the No. 1 goaltender on...

I don't know if you've heard but the Chicago Blackhawks have already started playing games this season. Sure, they're preseason and they don't count, but they're still games none the less. I mean, at least it gives me a reason to write about the team without it having anything to do with Patrick Kane's treatment of cab drivers, Dale Tallon being fired or 12-year contracts given to injured free
