So, it's been a while, but there's some Blackhawks and NHL updates. Can it get any better?
Okay, so the Hawks' schedule has been released and they'll be starting the season October 1 against the Washington Captials. I wonder if it's their idea to rub it in against Ovechkin and his crew. I know some of the guys on NHL boards will think so. According to the Hawks' website, 24 for the 41 home games will be played on the weekend. They will also play an outdoor game in March against the Penguins. They will have a rematch with the Bruins on January 19 (at the UC) and March 27 (in Boston)
The NHL's new divisions have also been named, the Pacific and Central Divisions in the Western Conference and the Metropolitan and Atlantic Divisions in the Eastern Conference. The Hawks are in the Central. The Hawks will play their 6 division rivals a total of 29 games with five games against each team.
In other news, it looks like the NHL will once again be sending players to the Olympics Commissioner Gary Bettman and an IOC official said the players will be heading to Sochi from Feb 7-23. All I have to say is, thank the Hockey Gods! I was gonna be depressed if the biggest stars of the Winter Olympics' signature event didn't show up (you hear that figure skating? You suck!). I hope Team USA can actually win the Gold on a content other than North America.
