Shirtless Johnny Oduya Is As Shiny As The Stanley Cup
Johnny Oduya was glistening at the club after Game 6. The Blackhawks defenseman went shirtless at The Mid, and everyone around him basked in the glow. Oduya was as polished as the trophy his team had just won....
Kimmo Timonen Goes Out With His First Stanley Cup
Kimmo Timonen was along for the ride. The 40-year-old didn’t receive a lot of ice time due to the Blackhawks’ overwhelming reliance on four defensemen, though it’s not like Timonen was doing anything productive in his scant minutes. But it’s fun to finish on top, and as Chicago closed out Game 6 for...
The Blackhawks' Run Is More Impressive Than A Dynasty
The surest sign there are no true dynasties in the NHL’s salary-cap era is that the second a contender for the title emerges, it has to be broken up. The Chicago Blackhawks’ third championship in six seasons is an unbelievable accomplishment, not just for the seven players who have been here for all...

Chicago Blackhawks Win The Stanley Cup
The Stanley Cup Finals didn’t see either team hold so much as a two-goal lead at any point ... until the final five minutes of the deciding Game 6. The Blackhawks got the insurance goal they needed, and stoned the Lightning for the rest of the way to win the Stanley Cup. ...

That’s suboptimal goaltending....
Andrei Vasilevskiy Is Not Quite Good Enough As Blackhawks Even Series
In Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals, Lightning goalie Ben Bishop went in and out of the game in the third period, possibly because he had the runs. In Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals, Bishop was obviously hobbled yet still good enough to stone the Blackhawks. Finally, in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup F...
Nobody Can Touch Chris Sale Right Now
Remember yesterday, when we were talking about how incredible Rays ace and kiss-denier Chris Archer has been over his last three starts, during which he literally made baseball history? Well, it’s time to give Chris Sale some love, too, because he’s been just as dominant as Archer has during his las...
A Hobbled Ben Bishop Is Good Enough
You could make the argument and not be laughed out of the room that Ben Bishop at 100 percent is not preferable to Andrei Vasilevskiy, let alone Ben Bishop with whatever knee/groin/mysterious lower body ailment had him looking like an old man every time he struggled to regain his skates or go to his...
A 20-Year-Old Saved The Blackhawks And Fears The Media
Game 1 was two minutes from feeling very different. For a span of nearly 50 minutes, it appeared that Alex Killorn’s absurd deflection (I don’t want to call it “fluky,” because it wasn’t accidental, but Killorn couldn’t do that again if he tried) would stand up and give the Lightning a series lead. ...
Cubs' And Marlins' Benches Clear, And Everyone Immediately Apologizes
There were no punches thrown in the sixth-inning scrum during last night’s 7-3 Marlins win, and both sides quickly headed back to their own dugouts. In fact, it might have been one of the politest bench-clearings of all time, as the main instigator, Cubs outfielder Junior Lake, apologized unreserved...
Let's Watch Some Dudes In Chicago Engage In Roman Candle Warfare
You haven’t lived if you haven’t engaged in the highly dangerous yet thrilling pastime of fighting with fireworks. We mostly used bottle rockets where I come from, but here are some friends (or gang rivals, depending on who you’re asking) on Western Ave. in Chicago using roman candles as the weapon ...
Chicago Leaves It Late, But Two Goals In Two Minutes Gets The Job Done
Well that sure changed quickly. After scoring just a few minutes into Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, the Lightning led the Blackhawks 1-0 for almost 50 minutes. But late in the third period Teuvo Teravainen fired a shot past a screened Ben Bishop:...
Reports: Bulls Will Name Fred Hoiberg Their Next Head Coach
The NBA’s worst-kept secret will finally be revealed publicly tomorrow, as according to a number of reporters, the Chicago Bulls will name Fred Hoiberg their head coach. Adrian Wojnarowski has been reporting for at least a month that the Bulls intended on replacing Tom Thibodeau with Hoiberg. The on...
Blackhawks Rout Ducks, Advance To Third Stanley Cup Final In Six Years

Tom Thibodeau Takes Everything Too Seriously, Including First Pitches
NBA writer Sam Smith wrote a thoughtful eulogy following the demise of Tom Thibodeau’s stint with the Chicago Bulls, and the article contains an anecdote about how Thibodeau, who gets caught up in an intense obsession with every objective, prepared for a first pitch at a Cubs-White Sox game right af...
