RIP to Blackhawks great Troy Murray. I covered him with Chicago Wolves in the IHL at the end of his career. He played with just as much pride in the "I" as he did in the NHL. A true example setter. He will be missed.

As loud and as sustained an ovation you'll see and hear as Blackhawks welcome back Jonathan Toews

First Cubs pitchers and catchers workout is Feb. 11, first full squad is Feb. 16.

A nice looking start to the morning and the month of December today. View from our @wgnradio.bsky.social Studios in Chicago!

Blackhawks jersey seen today. A nice deep cut. Kyle's granddad, Bob Baun, won a Stanley Cup Final game while playing on a broken ankle.

What does it mean to be a person for others? The Fall 2025 issue of Loyola Magazine explores this question through the lives and work of Loyola alumni, faculty, and staff. Read more: https://news.luc.edu/magazine/

Why the Blackhawks went to the unexpected lineup of 11 forwards, 7 defensemen and why it’s working: www.nytimes.com/athletic/673...

With MJ back, I dug up the premiere edition of The National sports daily, a kind of forerunner to The Athletic. Some star power among the bylines and columns.

A Campbell conference Bannerman jersey.

They're lining up for the Blackhawks' opening night Red Carpet event.

I begin my 5th season covering Blackhawks home games for the NHL website. It's morning, and they're skating.

At Wrigley Field for Cubs HOF Day. I ran into Mr. Billy Williams. Sweet.

As a Loyola U intern at the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin in 1978-79, I did a series of features on laywer-athletes. One was Ken Dryden, who could not have been more gracious to a 21-year-old. RIP.

Enjoying the Cubs coverage from Japan. I was there in 2000 and took this one of Sammy, who was very big with the local media.

The Cubs are in Japan. I went with them in 2000. Great memories.

Great story by Laz here.

It's morning and they're skating. Newly acquired goalie Spencer Knight is on the ice for the Blackhawks.

Wild outshot the Blackhawks 11-1 in the first period. Tampa Bay outshot the Hawks 17-1 in the third period on Friday and 1-0 in OT.

Spending part of Saturday at AJ Hudson's on the North Side watching Man City and Chelsea with old pal Joe. Guinness is goid today.

Blackhawks agree to terms with forward AJ Spellacy on a three-year, entry-level contract that runs through the 2026-27 season ($975,000 salary cap hit).

Told this guy to have another donut! He says it's Don' ref sweater from 1990-91.

If you get a Francis, you gotta get a Brind'Amour.

The Hurricanes were the Whalers (first New England then Hartford), so I'm liking this tonight at the Blackhawks game.

Nice one. A 1993-94 Kevin Todd jersey. Gentleman says it's game worn.

As funny as Bob Uecker was, he was a damn fine baseball play-by-play man. When he got to Milwaukee, he worked alongside Merle Harmon, and picked up much from him. Other influences were Jack Brickhouse and Bob Elson. RIP, Bob.

No mustache, but this is the Flames jersey I wanted tonight.

Tim Howard sounds the Blackhawks' goal horn tonight.

Avalanche goalie Trent Miner gets the rookie-lap treatment for his first NHL start, at UC vs. Blackhawks.

Blackhawks jersey seen today. Had on my quarter-century ballot.

Blackhawks players arrive from the El, march into Wrigley Field and survey the rink.

Thinking of a very Winter Classic-like day at Wrigley in April 2018.

Blackhawks practice at Wrigley.

Evening at Wrigley

I have arrived at Wrigley Field in good time for Winter Classic practices
