With Connor Bedard set to make his preseason NHL debut against the Blues this evening, it feels like a monumental occasion in the history of the Blackhawks. No, it isn't a regular-season game. But it still matters. It's the moment...

On the 28th of every month, I spend some time making the case for Blackhawks legend Steve Larmer to have his number retired and, even more importantly, be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Over the past months, we've...

This week I've written about the National Sports Collectors Convention being in town; I attended it on Wednesday and Thursday. With collecting on the brain, I thought this month's 28 on 28 would be a little more light-hearted. For the...

The first round of the 2023 NHL Draft takes place tonight in Nashville. For 32 young men, their dreams will come true and the futures of NHL franchises will be impacted by decisions made by general managers and scouts around...

With all of the excitement surrounding the Blackhawks winning the 2023 NHL Draft Lottery and the right to select Connor Bedard, there's already talk about how good he can be as a rookie. NBCSN Chicago recently asked if he can...

Back in October, I wrote about Steve Larmer's postseason production while he was with the Blackhawks. Chicago didn't miss the playoffs in the 11 years that Larmer was a roster regular for the Blackhawks; he appeared in 107 postseason games...

The Blackhawks host the Dallas Stars tonight. Some of us old timers remember when they were the North Stars, and played in Minnesota. Before the franchise moved to Dallas in 1993, they lined up for some ferocious battles with the...

If you've read my Blackhawks coverage over the past 16 years, you'll know that I have been a long believer that the organization should have retired Steve Larmer's number 28 decades ago. Even in the final days of Patrick Kane's...

It's time for us to once again remind fans young and old that Steve Larmer should have had his number retired by the Blackhawks years ago -- and he should have been inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame decades...

Every month on the 28th we celebrate the career of Blackhawks legend Steve Larmer (#Retire28). He should be in the Hockey Hall of Fame and his number should have been retired years ago by the Chicago Blackhawks. My hope is...

This month's edition of our Steve Larmer appreciation series (remember: #retire28) is an easy one. And, ironically, it's partially sourced from the retirement of another player's jersey in Chicago. I can't tell you how many people have texted me or...

It's the 28th of October, so happy #Retire28 day to those who celebrate (that includes me). The Blackhawks haven't made the real playoffs for a while now (I don't count the bubble), but some people have wondered about whether or...

It's the 28th of the month, which means it's time to revisit the should-be Hall of Fame career of Steve Larmer. With the emphasis on young players and looking to the future, today felt like a good day to look...

On the 28th of each month - until the Blackhawks retire his jersey and/or the Hockey Hall of Fame inducts him - we're celebrating the career of Steve Larmer. Our #retire28 campaign continues today as we look at how Gramps...

"When you live in Chicago, and you play for the Blackhawks, that No. 28 belongs to Steve Larmer. I don't know how many times you have to call a guy underrated until he's no longer that, but that's kind of...

Today, we're celebrating the career of Steve Larmer. His number isn't retired -- yet. And he should have been inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame years ago. So we're going to bang the drum even louder on the 28th...

At least the Cubs didn't lose in heartbreaking fashion tonight. That's all I have to hang my hat on with this one. Credit to the bullpen for keeping this one in line and giving the offense a chance to come...
