Hawkeytown


Book Description

The Chicago Blackhawks played an abbreviated but unforgettable 2013 season. It began with a 5-2 victory over the defending Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings, continued with a record-setting 24-game run to start the season without a regulation loss and ended with a mighty march toward a second National Hockey League championship in four seasons. Hawkeytown: The Chicago Blackhawks' Unforgettable 2013 Season captures all of those thrilling moments through news reports, columns and photos that originally appeared in the Chicago Tribune. From a long labor dispute that finally ended in January to the gritty and inspired performances of forward Patrick Sharp, goaltender Corey Crawford and team captain Jonathan Toews, among others, Hawkeytown is a special keepsake for any true Hawks fan.




War Drums in the Distance


Book Description

I was told during the 09/10 season that two things were virtually impossible. First the snowflakes were too fluffy to make a snowman in Fort Collins, Colorado. Secondly, the Blackhawks could not win the Stanley Cup with their mediocre goaltenders. As the saying goes, Dont believe everything you hear, and only half of what you get in writing. This book is a zany look back at the resurgence of the men that wear the Indian Head on their chest, a resurgence that began in the 07/08 season. In this book youll discover; Why President Obama desperately needs to watch a hockey game. Why so much of Emily Dickinsons poetry is a reflection of what takes place on frozen pond. What the Battle of the Bulge had much in common with the Predator quarterfinals. The story of fan who momentarily took the violence out of hockey. The role the classic film, Napoleon Dynamite, played in the 08/09 playoffs. The incredible sacrifice of 1yr old Callum Birdzell during the Hawks quest for the Cup (or why baby needs a new pair of jammies.) What the Darryl brothers from the Bob Newhart show had to do with the Hawks greatest comeback ever. Why the Hawks switched to Queen Pawn Openings-a walk on the wild side! You know youre hooked by the larceny laced mayhem on the ice when you and your 14 yr old daughter look knowingly into each others eyes and say, That Columbus game is going to be a big one! How Capocalypse can be explained by considering James Brown, Zorba the Greek and Mr. Bo Jangles. Why fans in Chicago are asking the fans in The City of Brotherly Love, can we still be friends?

It has been called the last great American sports story, a quest that has spanned more than a century and captivated millions of fans. In 2016, the Chicago Cubs were at last baseball's champions, breaking the Curse of the Billy Goat and shedding the label of "lovable losers" once and for all. Led by manager Joe Maddon and built around rising stars Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo, the Cubs brought the Fall Classic back to the ivy-covered confines of Wrigley Field for the first time since 1945 and won the franchise's first championship since 1908 in unforgettable fashion. Re-live the Cubs' magical postseason run with Won for the Ages. This photo-packed collection of memories, stories and player profiles produced by the staff of the Chicago Tribune is the perfect look back at the sweet '16 season.
