The 2020-21 season is in the books for the Chicago Blackhawks. As a team, they finished their campaign with a record of 24-25-7, for 55 points in 56 games.

The only commonality between the Chicago Blackhawks and Tampa Bay Lightning heading into Tuesday night’s match — their last meeting of the 2020-21 campaign — was that it was each club’s 49th of the year.

The team that wasn’t supposed to be any good is currently 9-5-4, having won seven of their last nine games. Turns out, success breeds confidence. It also leads to some “happy humans”, as the infamous
The version of the Chicago Blackhawks we witnessed against the Columbus Blue Jackets didn’t dominate in quite the same manner the team did against the Detroit Red Wings. However, they also didn’t falter in the way they had vs. the Nashville Predators. Ultimately, the Blackhawks have played far more effectively of late. Mostly thanks to
After dropping their first four contests of the 2020-21 season, the Chicago Blackhawks redeemed themselves with two wins at the United Center this weekend over the Detroit Red Wings. The Red Wings are rebuilding just like the Blackhawks, but they started the season with a respectable 2-2-0 record. No team can be taken for granted,
The Chicago Blackhawks started off the 2020-21 season slow, losing their first four games against the Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers. However, with that being said, there have been both ‘good’ and ‘bad’ things that have come out of the season thus far, and you’ll find that there is a lot more bad than
After an 0-2 start to the 2020-21 campaign, in which the Chicago Blackhawks’ top-two goalie tandem allowed 10 goals collectively, it’s time to try something new. In our latest edition of news and rumours, I didn’t hesitate to call out Malcolm Subban for a failed first game and declare that it was Collin Delia’s chance
