Blackhawks Icon Glenn Hall, “Mr. Goalie,” Has Passed Away

Sadly, we have another obituary to add to the Blackhawks’ Centennial season. Glenn Hall, one of the greatest goaltenders in the history of the NHL, has died . He was 94. The NHL mourns the passing of Glenn Hall, the very definition of what all hockey goaltenders aspire to be. Aptly nicknamed “Mr. Goalie,” Glenn was sturdy, dependable, and a spectacular talent in net.

Maybe I’ll Catch Fire: Blackhawks vs. Blues Preview

Now with three straight wins in their back pocket, the Hawks are at the United Center once again to host the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday night. Many of the issues plaguing the Blues when these two teams met one month ago in St. Louis remain. They have the worst offense in the league (dead last at 2.49 goals per game) and aren’t much better on defense (3.35 goals against per game, 27th in the league). The power play and penalty kill are ranked in the 20s along with their shot attempt shar...

Blackhawks vs Blues — Lineups, Broadcast Info, Game Thread

Yeah, it’s another late night national broadcast. And, yes, it’s two teams who are closer to the top of the draft lottery than the top of the standings. But the Blackhawks and Blues is always pure cinema, and tonight could be a fun one. St. Louis comes in having won their last two games. The Blackhawks are undefeated in 2026. Get the coffee (or whatever else you choose to drink during the game) ready because this is going to be a late night of rivalry hockey at the United Center! Bro...

Nazar Skates, Korchinski, World Juniors Post-Mortems, BU’s Big Add, and Other Blackhawks Bullets

Connor Bedard being on the ice with the Blackhawks for a good part of Tuesday’s practice and his comments about being close to returning to game action got a lot of the attention yesterday (and rightfully so), but it was also good to see Frank Nazar back on the ice for the first time since his injury.

Must Read: Blackhawks Prospect Roman Kantserov on Playing Center, Signing NHL Deal, More

Since we’re on a good run with Blackhawks prospect content right now, let’s stay with the future of the Chicago Blackhawks. Blackhawks prospect Roman Kantserov did an interview with Daria Tuboltseva at R.com about his season, an NHL future and moving to center. It’s a good, deep interview with a lot to take away. A couple comments that stood out to me. The first quote that got my attention was what he said about the Blackhawks still actively recruiting him to sign: “To be fair...

Considering the Blackhawks Youth Movement, Its Success, and Future Spending

How about these Chicago Blackhawks? After a brutal stretch of games in which they went 1-8-0 that began with the game against the Blues in which Connor Bedard got hurt, the increasingly young Blackhawks have flipped the script. They’re 4-1-1 in their last six — a stretch that includes two wins against the Dallas Stars and Sunday night’s win against the Vegas Golden Knights. Those three wins against teams viewed as Western Conference powerhouses have been impressive in many ways. The fact ...

The Blackhawks played in Washington on Saturday evening and flew home to face the Vegas Golden Knights. Chicago has been terrible in the second half of back-to-backs this year. They’ll need to change the scripts against a good Vegas team. But… Vegas comes into this one banged up on the back end and with questions about their goaltending. The Golden Knights have lost three straight and are 3-5-2 in their last 10 games. The Blackhawks will have a good shot tonight. Broadcast Info ...

Corn Dog Sonnet No. 7: Blackhawks vs. Golden Knights Preview

These two teams met in Vegas one month ago, with the Hawks unable to hold on to a late lead before ultimately losing 4-3 in the shootout . That win was part of a hot stretch for VGK, which won six of seven in late November and early December. But it’s been all downhill since, with the Knights losing seven of their last eight games, including a 4-3 ...
