In the holiday spirit, first the positives from Sunday night's Blackhawks game at the United Center. Michael Holmqvist was a plus-1. That just about covers it for a night on which the Dallas Stars came into Chicago and essentially took care of...

If there is a positive to be taken out of the carnage that was the Blackhawks' outing against the Stars on Friday night, it's that perhaps they have nowhere to go but up. Of course, it's also entirely possible that the Hawks have found their level and...

Brenden Morrow scored in the eighth round of a shootout to give the Dallas Stars their 11th victory without a loss in the NHL's new tiebreaker, a 3-2 decision over the Blackhawks on Friday night. Chicago's Matthew Barnaby and Dallas' Sergei Zubov...

After almost 27 minutes of, ahem, action Friday night there were 14 shots on goal. Total. For both teams. Thank goodness the Blackhawks' Travis Moen and Dallas' Gavin Morgan decided to beat each other up early in the second period or the 18,068 fans at...

The day after the Blackhawks were mathematically eliminated from making the playoffs, they played Dallas, a team engaged in a fierce battle for the Pacific Division title. When the teams took the ice in the United Center on Sunday, they played the way...
