It wasn’t perfect. Heck, it wasn’t even pretty at times. The second period felt like the same script we’ve seen too many times already this year — especially against a team that was playing the second half of a back-to-back. Young guys made mistakes. The foot came off the gas pedal for about five minutes and things went from lovely to uncomfortable real quick.
But you know what? Unlike the games against Vancouver and Los Angeles — the two previous back-to-back opponents — the second perio...

1947 After GM Les O’Connor refused to a pay a $500 fine for signing Chicago Christian high-schooler George Zoeterman, commissioner Happy Chandler suspended the White Sox from baseball. Ironically, when O’Connor was an assistant to the prior commissioner Kenesaw Landis, he helped draft the rule which allowed the White Sox to sign Zoeterman, who had […]

Connor Bedard scored the first hat trick of his NHL career as the Blackhawks built a 4-0 lead, nearly threw it away, but then finished off a grumpy Ottawa Senators squad by the score of 7-3 on Tuesday night at the United Center.
Colton Dach put the Hawks up 1-0 when he pounced on this rebound of a Louis Crevier shot for his first goal of the season:

The message from head coach Jeff Blashill to his players after the Blackhawks lost to the Kings on Sunday evening was pretty simple. When you get a team in the second half of a back-to-back, don’t take your foot off the gas. And take advantage of your opportunities.
Against the Kings, the Blackhawks dominated the first period but skated away with only one goal. Tonight, the Blackhawks put three goals on the board before the opening 20 minutes came to a close. And, when that horn sounded, ...
The second installment of Michael Jordan’s exclusive interview with the NBA on NBC dropped Tuesday night.
In this week’s episode, Jordan shared his thoughts on “load management,” which has become a staple for teams over the past handful of years. Many organizations will intentionally rest their star talent in hopes of avoiding injury trouble and keeping their legs fresh. To little surprise, this trend has not sat well with the best to ever do it.
Jordan suited up for all 82 games nin...

The Chicago Bears’ winning streak is over. It was fun while it lasted, but now that the team is (4-3) — the same record as a season ago — following the loss to the Baltimore Ravens, are you ready to fall back into ‘oh no, here we go again’ mode? Or are you confident Ben […]

Folks, I think we’re getting to the time that we need to have a conversation about Blackhawks prospect Nick Lardis .
Lardis was mentioned by Steven Ellis at Daily Faceoff as one of the five AHL prospects who are tearing it up to start the year on Tuesday. And with good reason: the start of his professional career has been as good — better? — than we could have hoped.
The IceHogs had a late-morning start on Tuesday and it went quite well against the Wolves in Rosemont. Lardis scored t...
The rookies finally got their second win in the NFL, and it was a big one.

Ahead of the trade deadline the Seattle Seahawks are reportedly set to add a speedy former third round wide receiver. Velus Jones was selected by the Chicago Bears in […]
The most anticipated player activation in the history of the Chicago Bears has finally happened. Earlier today, the home office of Windy City Gridiron received a fax from second-year defensive end Austin Booker that made his intentions crystal clear. Chills. Okay, it may not have happened like that, but the ongoing discourse in our comment […]

“We going up, up, up, it’s our moment…” Any father of a kindergarten-aged-or-older kid, especially a girl, knows what that means. (Then again, so do most people who don’t live under a rock.) But as the KPop Demon Hunters find out (spoilers if you haven’t seen it!), the path to that final triumphant moment is […]

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...

If you’re fed up with the penalty problems plaguing your favorite football team right now, just know that you are not alone and that Chicago Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson is right there with you.
When discussing the penalty issues on ESPN 1000-AM, this is what the first-year head coach had to say:
"We're here as coaches, we're gonna help support these guys & be along with them…but it would go a long way if we just had a little bit more ownership in that locker room to take the bull by...
