Playoff hockey is supposed to be about speed, play-making and memorable goals.
An Illinois man was arrested this week for sending threatening emails to the president and owner of the Chicago Blackhawks and the former general manager of the Chicago Cubs, claiming they "stole his idea to win championships."
The Blackhawks would be wise to leave revenge to the powers that be. Not only is violence, physicality, and goonery not their game, but they can't afford to get in to an "eye for an eye" situation.
The Blackhawks are hoping to even the score in more ways than one in Game 4 against the Phoenix Coyotes at the United Center Thursday night.
Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville did not have much of an update on Marian Hossa, but did rule him out of Thursday's Game 4 against the Coyotes.
Coyotes forward Raffi Torres has been suspended indefinitely for his hit on Blackhawks forward Marian Hossa Tuesday night.
It has always had a rabid following, almost cult-like in its devotion. And that will never change, since there are some who adore all the silliness and always will, even as others struggle to understand what the attraction is.
NHL punishment czar Brendan Shanahan caught so much flack for his soft, inexplicable non-suspension of Shea Weber, that I was worried he would overcompensate and hammer Andrew Shaw far worse than deserved.
The inconsistencies have left even non-hockey fans confused, but even worse, it has left the players on the ice confused.
This probably won't surprise anyone, but Phoenix Coyotes forward Raffi Torres doesn't think there was anything wrong with his hit on Marian Hossa.
