Fans were roaring in approval and chanting his name. All that talk about who should be in goal and whether he had the makeup to succeed in the playoffs seemed like nothing more than background noise. Crawford dominated in goal, Marian H...

PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The Chicago Blackhawks were beaten the last game in the corners, along the boards and by an overtime goal for the Minnesota Wild. By hurling their bodies in front of puck after puck, the Blackhawks stopped the Wild's momentum right where it started. Patrick Sharp scored two goals and the Blackhawks ratcheted up their defense to put ...

PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Beating the Chicago Blackhawks usually requires a certain kind of performance: bruising, aggressive and unflappable. That's precisely what the Minnesota Wild produced, entertaining the fans at their first home playoff game in five years. They had a little luck, too, when Jason Zucker blindly sent his bad-angle overtime shot toward t...

Corey Crawford was right there when the defense collapsed. No playoff jitters this time. Instead, an impressive performance for the Chicago Blackhawks. Sharp and Frolik had two goals apiece, Crawford made 26 saves and the Blackhawks beat the Minneso...

He skated for just over 10 minutes in two games and picked up his first career NHL point on an assist, but the Blackhawks were eliminated in the first round. This season, the 20-year-old Pittsburgh native is skating on the...

At least they started the playoffs on a winning note.

They said the same thing all along. Jonathan Toews and Co. also know all the reasons for concern heading into their playoff series against the M...

The wins are piling up, increasing the expectations. And the Chicago Blackhawks just keep going and going. Looking down on the rest of the NHL, Marian Hossa and Co. show no signs of slowing down. The Blackhawks set a franchise record with their 10th consecutive victory and extended their points streak to...

Welcome back, NHL. Welcome back, NHL fans. Lost in the squabble between the league and players over the 113-day labor dispute was how the hardcore fans were losing interest with each messy board room update from an idle sport.
