Hello Hawks fans!!! Hope everyone had a nice holiday. The Chicago Blackhawks are 2nd in their division, 7th in their conference but are tied with the Colorado Avalanche and San Jose Sharks with points but they have played one less game. They are 20-14-3 with 43 points. In the last 10 games they are 6-3-1. Overall their power play is 25% which is ranked 1st in the league which is great but their penalty kill is 78.3% which ranks 26th in the league which is pretty bad. In the last 6 games (12/13-12/26), the Hawks are 4-2 and are on a 4 game winning streak.
Leaders for the Hawks
-Shooting percentage- 21.3% Bickell (10G on 47SOG)-ranked 2nd in the league
-Total ice time-26:50 Keith (2nd in league)
-Goals- 20 Sharp (3rd in league)
-Takeaways- 45 Toews (3rd in league)
-Face off percentage- 59.7% Toews (5th in the league)

-Blocked Shots- 73 Hjalmarsson
-Penalty in minutes- 45 Dowell
-Points- 36 Sharp
-Assists- 21 Keith
-Game winning goals-5 Sharp
In the last 6 games…here’s my analysis
Who’s Hot
Bickell- 4G, 2A
Brouwer- 3G, 3A
Toews-2G, 5A
Who’s Not
Honestly, I really wouldn’t put anyone here. Everyone has been stepping it up. Jordan Hendry…..there is no love for you by Coach Q but I care though.
Report Card
Penalty Kill-allowed 4G in 12 times being short-handed gives you an overall percentage 67% ……Brutal…..but good thing is you guys haven’t been in the box too much.
Grade---C-
Power Play- gotten 6G in 19 times having a man or 2-man advantage. It gives you an overall percentage 32%.....OH YEAH!!!
Grade---A
Offense-4 or more goals have been scored in the past 6 games with only one game scoring 3 goals….pretty good!
Grade----A
Defense-About time you guys showed up for more than one game in a row….allowing 2 or less goals not including the first two games (12/13 and 12/15)
Grade-----B+
Goaltending-This has never been a problem. Nice to see Turco win a game with a great defense in front of him….took you guys long enough…..first time Turco has won since November 17th.
Grade-----A-
Overall- B+
Here are the scores and interesting stats for the last six games
Hawks vs. Avs (12/13/10)
Avs win 7-5
-Turco gets pulled from the game after letting in 4 goals on 10 shots on goal

Notes
-Brian Campbell registered 100 points as a Chicago Blackhawk (12/17/10)
-Duncan Keith 2nd goal in 22 games vs. Kings
-Hawks were 6-3-1 without Hossa
-Jack Skille has 6 goals this season and 4 are against the Nashville Predators
-The last time a Hawks player to score on a penalty shot at home was in 87’ by Troy Murray in the old Chicago Stadium
-Patrick Sharp has 7 goals and 8 assists on the power play this season
-Hossa get 1st star of the game eventhough Turco or Sharp should have gotten it instead of him
Overall, the Hawks did pretty good besides the 1st two games vs the Avs. It's about time the defense showed up on a more consistent basis. See what happens…..you get on a winning streak….and then you can see that Turco is a good goalie. I would have given him the belt cause it’s much deserved. Hossa…yes you are the smoke monster….glad ur back. I will miss tomorrow’s game well techniquelly today….but I will be at Thursday's game vs. Sharks…..CAN’T WAIT…..Christmas gift from my bro. LUV IT!!! As always….GO HAWKS!!

Chicago Wolves practice
Yeah, yeah.....I know this isn't Hawks related but it's hockey. Hockey is hockey. I figure I'd share some things in regards to the Wolves practice that I attended yesterday since I'm going to the game tonight vs. Milwaukee Admirals. This is the 1st one that I have attended this season. I do not consider myself an hockey expert....i consider myself a fan....here's my observations.
The rink is an ice chest. If you think Johnny's Ice House is cold......WOW....go to the Wolves practice and then tell me it's cold. I can tolerate a lot of cold....but OMG....it's FREEZIN'. I was fully prepare this time and was okay sitting at the rink.
Akim Aliu-cute gesture. He ended up throwing a puck over the glass to a kid. The kid didn't see him do it but I sure did. He gestures me to tell him. So I go to the kid...."Hey there's a puck!" The kid went to get it and runs around the rink to the Wolves bench and gives it back. I guess he didn't know he was suppose to keep it....oh well, one of these days he will.
Nigel Dawes...you have a nice shot and Paul Postma your pretty good at poke-checking.
Andrew Kozek was right in front of me doing a puck-handling drill. He had two pucks probably about 2 feet apart. He was doing a figure 8 around the pucks....while standing still.
A few of the guys were working on their one-timers after practice.
The guys did a conditioning drill. They were in two lines both at both blue lines. They would skate to the center line and stop and go back to the blue line doing it twice. I couldn't watch it cause it was making me dizzy.
I really wish I had a video camera for this part. The guys had a shootout contest. This one goalie....not sure which one but he was SERIOUSLY HILARIOUS!!! He denied one of his teammates a goal and did a happy dance!!! Talk about a CARE-CA-TURE!!!!
One thing i do wish is that I knew more of the players. Hopefully going to the game tonight I'll be able to familiarize myself with the players and they will be able to put a W on the board. GO WOLVES!!!

Cooking With Tony Esposito
Tony Esposito was at Meijers in Rolling Meadows on Thurs Dec 16th. He was paired up with professional chef, Maribel, and made Chicken Lasagna. I actually did have a sample of it after it was cooked. It was okay...i liked the chicken but the sauce, pasta, and vegetables......not so much.
Anyways, I did get a Blackhawks small towel.....a lil bit bigger than a washcloth. They had freebies for people that would text in their fav Hawk player to the All-Star game. So here are some pics from the event.
So as Im watching Tony O do his thing....there was a lil kid that started talking to me about Blackhawks. He makes a comment that Tony O should be our goalie for a game cause our goaltenders are horrible. I didn't want to be rude to the kid but I was thinking in my head.....goaltending is the least of our problems. If you want to narrow it down to what the problem is.....i'd say defense....but i let the kid ramble on and on.
So, Im in the line waiting for Tony O to sign my lampshade...this lady that is behind me goes.....I remember that lampshade.....you were here last time. I was like which one.....I go to all of these. She goes to her son who was probably 6 or 7yrs old.....which player did we see last time. He was like Denis Savard and Steve Konroyd. She was like....my son he knows everything and everyone.....which she's probably right cause I pointed to different players and he knew everyone. That's one thing I like about going to these Hawks things....you end up talking to some really cool fans. Til next time.

After a long 6 game road trip, the Hawks are finally home for most of Dec. As of 12/12/10 , they were currently 2nd in the division, 4th in the conference, 16-12-3 , and with 35 pts. The past five games (11/30-12/11/10) they have been 3-1-1 with 7 out of 10 pts. Even though the Hawks are ranked 24th in the league for their penalty kill, they have only allowed 3G out of 18 chances and the power play is still pretty good with 8G in 19 chances. Here are the game recaps.
Hawks vs. Blues (
Hawks win 7-5
The Hawks take a 5-1 lead halfway thru 2nd period. Crombeen drops the gloves with Nick Boynton to change the momentum of the game for the Blues. It works in their favor because Brewer scores with left in the 2nd to cut the Hawks lead to 3. Pietrangelo scores a slap shot early in the third and Boyes scores on a bouncing puck three minutes later to make it 5-4. Coach Q calls for a time out.

Ehrhoff scores on a power play in the 3rd from the right point and Henrik Sedin scores with three left in regulation to secure the win for the Canucks. Roberto Luongo gets his second shutout of the season.
--Boynton with 6 hits for the game
Hawks vs. Flames (12/5/10 )
Hawks win 4-2
Patrick Kane gets helped off the ice on his first shift of the night and does not return. All the goals in this game were scored on the special teams. It was a crazy 1st period with Bickell, Bolland (1st 5-on-3 advantage scored), and Toews for the Hawks. Iginla and Babchuk scored for the Flames. Bolland gets the empty netter and second of the night to seal the victory.
--Seabrook with 3 assists and 6 hits for the game
--Bolland with 4 blocked shots
--Sharp at 100% at the dot winning all 8

Interesting notes
-Corey Crawford wins 7 games in a row to be the 1st rookie goalie to win that many consecutive games since Darren Pang in 1988
-Jeremy Morin gets called up from Rockford 11/30/10 ) and gets in a fight with Porter
-Hawks win their first home game since the circus trip vs. Blues (11/30/10 )
-Hawks outshoot the Canucks 32-18 but end up loosing the game
-Bolland scores his 1st goal in 17 games on 12/5/10 vs. Flames
-Jordan Hendry scores a goal since being out of the lineup for a month (12/11/10)
-Jake Dowell does a classy move and doesn’t punch Steve Ott when he was down on his knee during a scrap. Ott tapped Dowell on the helmet after the fight.
-Scott gets his 1st point in 21 games
Overall
The Hawks did pretty well with 3-1-1 . Corey Crawford has been playing great. He got 7 wins before loosing to the Sharks although he deserved that win too. In these five games, I did notice that the Hawks would be taking a huge lead and let it all fall apart. We need the full 60 minutes to be consistent. Thank god you guys were able to rally back and win the games versus Blues/Stars. We have certain players still out of the lineup. Kane….you better come back when you’re healthy. We saw what happen both times when you hurried on back and you weren’t the same. I just hope you are more consistent with your game. Hossa…well you’re just awesome so if you could come back….it would be much appreciated. I must admit I do like the Killer B line (Brouwer, Bickell, and Bolland). You guys have impressed me and mesh well together so keep up the great work! For the rest of you guys……let’s GO HAWKS!!
Side note: Thanks to Kimmy aka HawksNCanes7 for the tip on stats per game.

Christmas around the world and Hockey Night in Chicago!
I must say I was kinda was surprised when I got a phone call that informed me that I won a contest to meet 4 Chicago Blackhawks players at the Museum of Science and Industry. I always enter those contests but never win.....it must have been my lucky day!! So I ended up taking my brother and we went downtown to the museum. It was the first time i've ever been there....I have been wanting to go there for a LONG time.....just never got around to it!
Anyways, I come to find out that Viktor Stalberg, Jack Skille, Corey Crawford, and Jake Dowell were the guys that were there. I didn't know who was going to be there til I got there. I was like OMG, OMG, OMG, Ahhhhh, OMG, OMG, OMG, Ahhhh. (I didn't say that out loud but sure was thinking it the whole time!) The two most hottest guys on the team were there....you might ask who is that....Stalberg and Skille. Skille is one of my favorites on the team but if you know me you would know who my number one guy is. He's a hottie too!!! :D
Anyways, im getting off the subject (and don't assume i don't know anything about hockey just cause i think certain guys are hott), so they provided us with drinks and appetizers which i thought was super cool. We could just mingle and talk to the players. I got pics with three of the four guys and got all their autos. I had them sign a mini Chicago Blackhawks hockey stick. I would like to give it to someone for Christmas....maybe to my niece. I also had them sign my custom made air-spray shirt. It is one of a kind shirt. Im surprised no one so far has wanted to see the front.
Overall, it was a lot of fun. I got to meet some really cool Hawks fans. I want to thank the Chicago Blackhawks organization, Museum of Science and Industry, and the fellow Hawks players that came out that night. It will be one night i won't forget. Thank you! Here are some pics of the event.
The next day....they had a Bud Light Hockey Night in Chicago with Jesse Rogers from ESPN 1000am and Tomas Kopecky. They were live on the air from 6-7 at Binnys in Bolingbrook. I finally got my lampshade signed by Kopy....which im excited about. Hopefully he will do another airing in the suburbs with another player.....cause then I will be there. I did get to meet Jesse....super cool guy....didn't have to chit chat with me but did. Here are some pics from that event!!
Just to let you guys know.....I will be at the Tony O Meijers cooking in Rolling Meadows on Dec 16th. Hope to see you there! GO HAWKS!
Side note: CSN will air two classic playoff games. They will have all of my favorite players back in the day!!!

Overall, the Hawks did pretty good on this road trip. Nice to see certain players start to show up for the game….still waiting for a handful more step it up and get their s%@# together. Corey Crawford did pretty well…..so let the goalie controversy begin!!! The defense and offense both have turned up a notch….nice to see an overall impressive 60 mins game except when they played the Flames. Maybe this is what the Hawks needed to be on the road and concentrate about the game instead of trying to impress the home crowd. Keep up the great work and don’t let it slip. If you guys could keep this up…..there is no-one that can stop yall!!! GO HAWKS!!!!!
