| Not so good in tight situations. Chicago won nearly 60 percent of its one-goal games last season, but has only one victory in eight tries this time. |

| The Blackhawks seem to have fixed whatever ailed them under Quenneville and quickly. And they’re putting on a good show at home so far with 6-0-2.

| The Blackhawks seem to have fixed whatever ailed them under Denis Savard and quickly. And they're putting on a good show at home so far with a 6-0-2 record. |

| Khabibulin and Huet are pushing each other, which is a good thing for Chicago. The Blackhawks are still waiting for Jonathan Toews to get his first goal. |
| 10/27/2008 | 16 | 18 |
| Playing on the top line with Toews and Kane, Kris Versteeg is becoming a dark horse rookie of the year candidate with two goals and eight points, the best freshman output so far. |
| 10/20/2008 | 18 | 22 |
| Sophomore Patrick Kane was in tears after Savard was fired, but he responded with six points in his first two games under Quenneville. |

| It's a little early to say the wind is out of the Windy City team's sails, but so far it looks like the Blackhawks have been reading too many of their own press clippings. |

| This could be a team on the verge of something big -- or not. But there is some serious young talent here, high-profile newcomers and plenty of expectations to live up to. |
| 04/07/2008 | 21 | 21 |
| Hockey is back in Chicago where the young and much improved Blackhawks have a bright future centering around gems Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews. |
| 03/31/2008 | 21 | 22 |
| Great strides by the organization on many levels this season bodes well for the future. The playoffs are still possible, but four losing streaks of four games or more seems too much for this young team to overcome now. |
