Cam Fowler has been very impressive this season logging over 24 minutes of ice per game. He was at it again on Friday playing 25:32 and picking up a goal and an assist against the New Jersey Devils. Included in that ice-time is evidence of his versatility as he skated nearly four minutes on the [...]
Patrick Kane just proved me wrong (well, close enough). I thought he could never be a 100-point player, but he has 100 points in his last 83 games (heading into last night's game). We'll give him that extra game, that's good enough for me. * Yesterday, my column in The Hockey News looked at the [...]

The Blackhawks [...]
Is P.A. Parenteau a stud or a dud?
Morning update: Alex Tanguay had a setback in his recovery from his knee injury and will be sidelined indefinitely. In this article, it sounds pretty bad and I wouldn't count on him before February. ** Anyone have any side bets as to what I'd kick off today's ramblings with, after watching the highlights of last [...]
