NHLPA Files Grievance- Barker and Versteeg Could Become UFAs
Second City Hockey — ... afford either player if they hit the open market.  It wasn't even a sure thing they could afford them both if they remained RFAs.  If they do become UFA's though the Hawks lose any rights to draft picks given up when a team signs a RFA from a team. One of them is certainly going to look to get paid and smart money is on Versteeg to be the one who bolts. It ain't all bad news though - There's also news that Troy Brouwer, Corey Crawford, Ben Eager, Colin Fraser and surprisingly, Aaron Johnson have all signed new ...

Salary Cap... What Salary Cap? Blackhawks Sign Mark Cullen
Second City Hockey — If you listened to HockeeNight's puckcast last week, you'll have heard Chris Block, Forklift and CT discuss Sam and I for a brief second.  After claiming Sam to be a "frail individual" (probably true) they discuss which Blackhawk I most resemble.  Fork goes with Colin Fraser: ...

Second City Hockey — ... malformed) opinion of this particular blogger that yes, the Hawks can significantly improve their penalty kill not with a change in scheme or philosophy, but a change in personnel. While Quenneville and his staff were very adept at finding sometimes-odd even strength line combinations that worked (Havlat-Bolland-Ladd, Burish-Sharp-Eager in the post season, for example), his choices on the penalty kill were often curious. Coach Q favored his grunts on the penalty kill; players like Colin Fraser, ...

Second City Hockey — ... and Colin Fraser, and they'll definitely be first to suit up if Eager and Burish can't keep their shit together, or Buff returns to slack-ass mode. But while they work very hard and overachieved last year, no one can realistically say that either is anything more than a fourth liner on a team that has a reasonable shot to win a Stanley Cup, which for the first time in a long time, this team does. God DAMN does it feel good to type that. ...

Here Comes The Neighborhood - Avs @ Hawks
Second City Hockey — ... Craig Anderson standing on his head (which has happened to the Hawks twice in three games already), there should be a positive outcome tonight. However, we said the same thing last March, when the Hawks lost to the Avs in one of their most putrid games of the season. Let's not repeat that, shall we? Projected Line-Up:  Versteeg - Toews - Sharp  Byfuglien - Bolland - Kane Ladd - Madden - Brouwer Kopecky - Fraser - Skille ...

RIP - Patrick Sharp Point Streak: Huet and Blackhawks beat Predators 3-1
Second City Hockey — ... that gets on him for not showing emotion, especially after he scores, so I guess he's going to try something now but all he could think of was that one outstretched-arms move Scott Stapp does in every Creed video... I'd go back to the drawing board on that one there.  Not even 30 seconds later, the Hawks dented the twine again.  This time the play started when the Hawks lost a draw  but Jack Skille fights in the corner and forces a turnover which is picked up by Colin Fraser, knocked over to Tomas Kopecky and the Hawks were up ...

Second City Hockey — ... Sadly, a team that's even hotter comes into town on Monday, the Kings.  But Captain Marvel will be back for that, and Hossa on the trip that follows.  It's the first week of November, let's try and keep our heads. Notes: -Kopecky has had two solid games in a row, and is slowly working his way out of our doghouse. -Ebbet also had his best game as a Hawk.  I know Hawks fans are getting annoyed with him, but he's just "a guy".  -Colin Fraser went 9 for 10 on draws tonight.  That's impressive. ...
