from John MacKinnon of the Edmonton Journal, Chicago ran the streak to 6-1-3 with a 5-2 victory and left Alberta 2-0 for the trip. Again. When a team can blow out the opposition like that, the temptation is to pigeonhole the Hawks as a squadron of gunners, what with Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, Patrick Sharp, Kris Versteeg, Dustin Byfuglien and others able to light it up. It gets worse for NHL opponents,...

CALGARY (AP) Kris Versteeg scored two power-play goals in Chicago's five-goal second period to help the Blackhawks rout the Calgary Flames 7-1 on Thursday in a rematch of last season's NHL first-round playoff series. Chicago beat the Flames in six games last season in the playoffs, ending the series with a 4-1 victory in Calgary. In their first meeting of the season, the Blackhawks overcame a 5-0 deficit...

Seeing Cristobal Huet make some big saves early and some incredible saves when the score was close, great. Seeing the Blackhawks score on a 5-on-3 advantage, great. Seeing the Hawks score four power-play goals, great. Seeing Kris Versteeg come back...

The Blackhawks won their fifth in a row with a convincing 7-1 thrashing of a good Calgary Flames club tonight at the Saddledome. Two goals for Kris Versteeg. Another victory for Cristobel Huet: W-L-OTL 9-4-1 SV% .902 GAA 2.25 SO 1 Not too shabby. If, as conventional wisdom has it, the Hawks will go as far this year as their goaltending takes them, then they should go a long way if Huet and backup...

Kris Versteeg, Cam Barker and Patrick Sharp score; Cristobal Huet sharp in goal Maybe it was the matchup between Original Six teams that made the Blackhawks go all old-time hockey Friday night.

AP Photo/Paul Sancya Missed opportunities and a stellar performance by Chris Osgood spoiled the Blackhawks' return to our fair continent, losing their first game in regulation of the season to the Red Wings in Detroit, 3-2. It wasn't for lack of trying. Continuing the season's trend, the Hawks once again outshot their opponent (34-23). Their aggressiveness led to a 1-0 lead early in the second period,...

With all of the Olympics hoopla last week, we hadn't yet had a chance to preview the Blackhawks season, which opened in Helsinki, Finland against the Florida Panthers on Friday. After last season's renaissance on the ice, hockey has re-emerged as a sport we in Chicago care about, and we fans have high expectations for our Blackhawks in 2009-10. But a bizarre off-season splashed a large dose of ice...

One common fantasy folly is getting carried away drafting the hot rookie of the year too early. Last year, we saw breakouts from rookies like Steve Mason and Kris Versteeg but others like Kyle Turris and Nikita Filatov failed to...
