Blackhawks WIN

The Blackhawks have won their first playoff series in 13 years!

Celebrate Chicago! You no longer need to pretend we don't have a hockey team!

Blackhawks vs Flames: 1st Round

The Chicago Blackhawks are back in the postseason!

Now if only we can win a series...

Things look real good for the Hawks because they beat Calgary four times this season, but the playoffs are always a tough environment, especially for the young team we have.

I'm calling a Blackhawks win in 5.

Come on Blackhawks

To the Chicago Blackhawks:

Yes, we still remember you although we don't show it very often. You've never been a great franchise, but you have really turned it around this season. Perhaps people in Chicago will pay more attention once you make it to the playoffs. That is of course, if you make it, because dropping the last two games in a row with such a close race going on does not help.

What I wouldn't give to see the Blackhawks dethrone the Detroit Red Wings just once in the playoffs in my lifetime.

Welcome to Windy City Sports

Welcome to The Windy City Sports blog!

My name is Zach Reves, and through this blog I will post news and my opinions on the current issues that are happening in Chicago-based sports. I am a sportswriter by trade and an avid fan of anything residing in the Second City (with one notable exception, but I'll get to that later).

I have followed the Chicago Bears, White Sox, Blackhawks, and Bulls for a majority of my 22 years of life. However, I have little love for the North Side Cubs for many different reasons so don't expect a lot of blogging about their exploits. Prepare to see a lot of information regarding these teams including scores, trades and anything else relevant in the business.

If it happens in Chicago I will know about it and share it here in this blog. So come along with me and revel in the greatness of Chicago based sports!

Bear Down Chicago!
