Blackhawks!

Surprisingly, the Chicago Blackhawks are maintaining a winning record so far this season. As a big hockey fan and a Chicago sports fan, a good Hawks team is great news. The most surprising aspect of this year's Hawks team is the performance of rookie Patrick Kane. He recently turned 19 and is the Hawks points leader. Another Hawks rookie, Jonathan Toews is also putting up an impressive season so far. The Hawks are making the games exciting by scoring 10 shorthanded goals so far this season, half of which were scored by Patrick Sharp. Sharp leads the NHL with shorthanded goals. The Hawks have also beat the Detroit Red Wings each of the 4 times they played them this season. The Hawks make up 4 of the 6 losses for the Red Wings so far this season.

The Hawks good performance is making up for Bulls horrible season, and the Bears on and off performances. The Hawks are finally doing well and we can not watch the games here at Northern, which is very disappointing. We need Comcast Sportsnet in the dorms. Without Comcast Sportsnet or Versus, we can't watch any hockey in the dorms. I'm going to be watching hockey all the time over winter break to make up for the loss here at school.
