Winning In Spite Of Q
Mar 2nd
The last I checked the role of a coach it to guide and lead a team, not to provide a degree of difficulty
The Blackhawks are in the cat bird seat to win the 2014 Stanley Cup. Despite history making clear the difficulty in trying to repeat as keepers of the Cup, there is not a better odds-on favorite to hoist the hardware this summer at present. The Hawks are deep and talented and they’ve proven that this core knows what it takes to win a seven game series when it’s all on the line in May and June. Jonathan More >
Uneasy Lies The Head That Wears The Headdress
Jan 14th
I’ve got to be honest, the premise of this post is in direct contrast to the implication of the title. I just liked the title, that’s all. As mentioned above, I actually think the reigning Stanley Cup champions are handling this post-Cup season about as well as one could ask. I’m sure Coach Q finds nits to pick and that there are issues and events that crop up from time to time behind the scenes, but generally speaking this team has come into this season and handled their business exactly as you would have drawn it up in the pre-season.

Don’t Trash The ‘Stache
Apr 28th
Quite a weekend around these parts wasn’t it? At least on the sporting scene that is. I watched parts of the NFL Draft, the parts that I could make out on the screen after I put my remote through it Thursday night when Roger Goodell read the name “Kyle Long” but I digress. As Saturday rolled around and the Bears began to come to terms with the word “value” I couldn’t help but notice the Twitter-verse had began turning its attention to the happenings at the United Center.
What unfolded on Saturday afternoon was one of the memorable playoff basketball games More >
The 2012-12 Blackhawks Season Recap: A Trail of Tears
May 10th
As one of our beloved Chicago teams sees their season crumble to the ground this evening, I feel as though I have finally reached closure on our last sporting heartbreak. Before we get too far along in taking a look at the season that was for the Chicago Blackhawks there are two important items that I’d suggest that you peruse as each says more than anything I can put into words:

Oh-Do-Ya Think You Can Win The Cup?
Feb 28th
The NHL’s trade deadline has passed. Teams have made their moves for better or worse, in a last ditch effort to load up for a deep playoff run or to sell of their spare parts for future draft picks and lottery tickets. Base on your team’s actions this past week you can get a feel for where their ownership and management teams feel they are at and where they want to be. It’s ideally a reality check where each organ-i-zation takes a look at their cards and in the immortal words of Kenny Rogers, decides whether to hold ‘em or More >
