Chicago Sports

Luke Richardson’s success as a Canadiens assistant the last four years directly helped him earn this job as Blackhawks head coach.

On the other hand, he was passed over last spring for the Canadiens’ own head coaching job, with Martin St. Louis instead assuming the duties after Dominique Ducharme was fired. He was passed over in 2021, too, when Ducharme replaced Claude Julien.

So naturally, Friday’s matchup carried some extra meaning for Richardson. But he tried his best all week to downplay its significance.

“I enjoyed my time [in Montreal],” he said Monday. “It’s a great passionate city, much like [Chicago], with great sports fans. There’s a lot of history there. I was fortunate enough to be there when we got to the Stanley Cup Final, and it was an honor to do that. But it’s now in the past. It’s a good memory, but they’re just another team we want to beat.”

As much as Richardson might’ve wanted it, that wish didn’t come true. Kirby Dach’s third-round shootout winner lifted the Canadiens to a 3-2 win and dealt the Hawks their sixth straight loss (and 12th in their last 14 games).

The Hawks outshot the Canadiens 32-23, the largest margin by which they’ve outshot any opponent this season, but conceded quite a few breakaways and odd-man rushes in between. Goalie Arvid Soderblom was stellar, particularly with his quick glove hand, while limiting the damage from those breakdowns.

Taylor Raddysh scored a power-play goal to tie the game with just under four minutes remaining, and the Hawks later killed off a Canadiens’ overtime power play, but their efforts were ultimately unrewarded.

“We had a little trouble with our energy level,” Richardson said. “I liked the ‘try,’ but it just didn’t look like we had the legs there. Maybe [it was] a little bit of the games catching up to us.”

Richardson and St. Louis have remained friends despite their career divergence and surely will beyond Friday, too.

St. Louis said they brainstormed together, during the summer, how to build their new teams’ training-camp schedules. Richardson praised St. Louis’ willingness to give his players freedom to be “active and creative.”

Lafferty sidelined

Sam Lafferty didn’t play Friday due to an upper-body injury he suffered Wednesday against the Stars. He could miss a “couple games,” Richardson said, but the Hawks don’t believe it’ll be a long-term issue.

The break could actually be helpful for Lafferty, who has been somewhat invisible in recent weeks. He was mired in a 10-game pointless streak during which he’d dropped into the fourth-line center role and tallied only nine total shots on goal.

Other than two excellent performances in the Hawks’ third and fourth games of the season (against the Sharks and Red Wings), Lafferty has been generally much quieter this year after thoroughly impressing the Hawks during the second half of last year. That spring surge, when he seemed to generate at least one semi-breakaway per game, earned him a two-year contract extension that kicked in this season.

The West Side resident showed up two hours early at his regular haunt on Friday to make sure he could enjoy all three.

“I’m holding down the fort,” he said, nursing a lager while texting his friends who were outside, waiting to get in.

The 30-year-old was among about 200 people packed inside Cleos, 1935 W. Chicago Ave., to watch the U.S. play England in the men’s World Cup.

“They were supposed to get here ages ago,” he said, looking at the line outside.

Though the game ended 0-0, Cleos definitely came out on top.

The West Town spot established itself as a soccer bar years ago, and will draw some fans on weekend mornings to watch English Premier League matches. But the World Cup has meant wall-to-wall crowds since the games kicked off in Qatar.

“For us, this is incredible. There’s nothing like it,” said bar manager Kevin Grish.

By late Friday afternoon, Grish estimated the bar was on its way to doing about 500% its usual business for the day after Thanksgiving — and the crowd reached maximum capacity for the fourth time this World Cup.

Among the new faces on hand was Mark Richardson, 39, who came from Lincoln Square at around 10 a.m., hoping to have a seat for a U.S. victory.

“I want be able to lord this over all my British friends,” he said.

Englishman Geoff Hiron, 43, and American Lennon Murphy, 31, showed up an hour before kickoff, thinking that would be plenty early to get inside the bar. But they ended up outside, waiting in line, and eventually had to go somewhere else to find a seat.

Before they left, though, Murphy made sure to sarcastically remind his British friend of his pre-game bragging.

“What, this could be the worst beat down by the British since burning the White House in 1812?” Murphy taunted.

“Absolutely,” Hiron replied.

Inside, some fans sported USA jerseys and scarves, standing all game and growing hoarse as their team pressed England hard in the second half.

Longtime Cleos regular and lifetime Brit Chris Broadbent, 49, sat unperturbed at the bar, where he had been since 9 a.m.

“If it’s one person supporting the USA, if it’s 60 people, I’ll still stand up on my stool and make a big E for England,” said the Leicester native, who moved to Chicago almost two decades ago.

As England missed an opportunity in the final minutes of the game, the Portage Park resident held his face in his hands, then nodded in approval at the crowd around him.

“As someone that’s been here since the start, what I’m really happy about is just being here with all the other people having a great football experience,” he said.

“First-timer, old-timer, British, American, whatever your reason is, you’re included.”

Other than quarterback Justin Fields, the last players the Bears want to miss time are rookie defensive backs Kyler Gordon and Jaquan Brisker — their prized second-round picks.

Both will miss the Jets game Sunday because of concussions they suffered last week against the Falcons. They’ve started every game and been on the field for more than 96% of the defensive plays.

That means a defense that’s struggling to keep opponents under 30 points each game is going without two of its best players. The Bears have allowed a league-worst 117.7 passer rating over the last four weeks.

Brisker, a safety, has been one of the best rookies in the NFL, leads the team with three sacks and is third with 73 tackles behind former linebacker Roquan Smith and fellow safety Eddie Jackson. He also has an interception and a fumble recovery.

The NFL’s concussion spotter took Brisker out of the game twice against the Falcons, though he played all but two snaps.

The Bears likely will start seven-year veteran DeAndre Houston-Carson in his spot. He is predominantly a special teams player and has gotten just 32 snaps on defense this season. It has been over a year since his last start.

Gordon got off to a rough start at cornerback, but has been better lately. The Bears will rely as much as possible on Jaylon Johnson and Kindle Vildor, and Jaylon Jones is next in line. Jones is an undrafted rookie, but has played extensively on defense in several games this season.

O-line decision

Right guard Teven Jenkins didn’t play against the Falcons because of a hip injury, but was a full participant in practice all week and is good to go for Sunday.

That doesn’t mean he’ll start, or even play.

The Bears were relatively pleased with veteran Michael Schofield the last two games and could stick with him. Coach Matt Eberflus said if Jenkins had been healthier last week, the Bears probably would’ve played both guys, so that’s a possibility this week as well.

If the Bears stay with the same group, it’ll be their first starting offensive line to last more than two consecutive games. They’ve had seven lineups in 11 games.

Claypool time?

The Bears haven’t shown much urgency in getting new wide receiver Chase Claypool involved. He has yet to play more than 42% of the snaps in a game since arriving from the Steelers in a trade last month.

When he has been on the field, he hasn’t been a factor. Claypool was excited about the change in part because he figured he’d get a bigger opportunity with the Bears, but he has gotten just 11 targets and caught five passes for 32 yards.

He averaged 6.3 targets per game with the Steelers over the first eight games and averaged 6.9 over the 2020 and ’21 seasons.

Wilson won’t dress

Not only did the Jets bench second-year quarterback Zach Wilson, the No. 2 pick in the draft last year, they don’t plan to have him active Sunday. Coach Robert Saleh said Mike White will start, and 15-year veteran Joe Flacco will be his backup.

White has never faced the Bears. They last saw Flacco in 2019 when he was with the Broncos and threw for 292 yards with a touchdown and interception to put the Bears on the brink before Eddy Pineiro’s 53-yard field goal rescued them as time ran out.

Every time Bears quarterback Justin Fields has been knocked to the ground this season, Trevor Siemian has had the same thought: is this the one?

That’s the life of a backup quarterback. He’s always one brutal hit away from sprinting onto the field.

“Every time the starter gets hit or gets to the ground you keep an eye on him an extra second longer than everybody else,” Siemian said Friday. “That’s part of it. But Justin is a tough dude too. As I watch him, I have that in the back of my mind. You’re monitoring the starter every play.”

Or, this week, in every practice snap.

Fields, who separated his left shoulder and suffered partial ligament damage when he was tackled along the sideline with about two minutes to play in Sunday’s loss to the Falcons, was limited for the third-straight practice Friday. The Bears are calling him questionable and doing all they can to make his starter status as blurry as they can.

Being named the starter for the Jets game “would be news to me,” Siemian said.

The Northwestern alum — who started one game for the Jets in 2019 — has thrown one pass for the Bears this season, in a blowout. Amazingly, Fields has yet to miss a snap because of injury, even running once and throwing a pass — albeit an interception — after he hurt his shoulder.

“Every week you’re ready to go,” Siemian said. “You anticipate to play every week, truly. That’s how you have to prepare to stay in it. It could happen the first snap. It could happen on Play 62. You just gotta be ready to roll whenever your number’s called.”

If it is called, the Bears playbook figures to look different. Siemian joked that he’d been studying “some old Wing-T film,” while receiver Chase Claypool tried to maintain, with a smirk, that he’s just as dangerous a runner as the NFL’s leading quarterback runner.

“We call him Trev the Blur,” he said, jokingly.

In reality, a Siemian start would mean a more traditional offensive approach than the scheme that has tried a league-low 229 passes. Siemian, though, doesn’t work often with the team’s first-team receivers. Fields gets almost all the starter reps during a healthy week.

“That’s how it is for a backup quarterback, and that’s kind of the understanding when you come in,” he said. “You’re the 2 –you got to be ready to play whether you get all the reps or none. The expectation is to play and play well.”

Chemistry with the receivers is “as good as it can be” for a backup, Siemian said. When he’s not taking snaps, he knows what to look for.

“That’s part of my job too, is staying back and watching guys run routes, reading their body languages, looking at coverages, staying engaged in the meetings,” he said. “I feel good where that’s at.”

Offensive coordinator Luke Getsy said Siemian’s experience gives the Bears confidence. He’s started 29 career games — and come off the bench during the game only five times. All but six of his starts came with the Broncos from 2016-07. Siemian replaced Peyton Manning as the Broncos’ starter after the Hall of Famer retired in March 2017.

Siemian went 0-4 as the Saints’ starter last year, but won two games in which he came off the bench to play considerable snaps. On the season he completed 108 of 188 passes for 1,154 yards, 11 touchdowns and three interceptions. He had a 88.4 passer rating.

Siemian — who has dealt with a separated left shoulder twice in his career, calling it “uncomfortable” with a wince — won’t be intimidated by the moment, if he needs to play. Head coach Matt Eberflus praised his performance in quarterback meetings all season, citing his “great functional intelligence to be able to operate the offense.”

Whatever it looks like.

“I’m here — I gotta be capable of doing some of [the rushing ] stuff … ” Siemian said. “If I gotta play, I’ll be ready.”

The Chicago Bulls travel to Oklahoma City following two massive wins over the top two teams in the Eastern Conference. The Bulls stand as betting favorites against the Thunder tonight.

After a brutal and downright embarrassing stretch, the Chicago Bulls have found a huge boost of confidence after taking down arguably the two best teams in the NBA in consecutive games. Tonight will bring a different test, and despite the two huge wins, this Bulls team will be tested against a tough and scrappy Thunder team led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

If you haven’t been paying attention to this team, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been absolutely unreal. After a nice progression to start his career, in year five, SGA is in the early stages of a no-doubt All-Star season, currently averaging 31.1 points per game, third in the league behind only Luka Doncic and Steph Curry.

The injury report for tonight’s game is still to be determined, but as of this afternoon, Goran Dragic remains doubtful for tonight’s game.

Another absence for Dragic could open the door for more minutes for Coby White, who in addition to hitting maybe the two biggest shots of the season for the Chicago Bulls, also was seen diving for loose balls on numerous occasions  Wednesday night. I still maintain my skepticism with his role on this team, but if that is the effort we begin to see on a nightly basis, I am happy to change my tune on Coby White.

If you followed along on Wednesday night, you know how lucky we were with the 0.2 seconds remaining early Christmas present that was given to us in the form of two meaningless free throws to cash Patrick Williams point total over for the second consecutive night. I like Williams’ chances again tonight, but will switch things up for today’s play, as I feel there is a better matchup to exploit.

Let’s keep the winners coming and get this back safely into the green! Best of luck tonight, see some red, and GO BULLS!!

2022 Bulls Best Bet Record: 9-9 (2W Streak)

Nikola Vucevic Over 16.5 Points (Sportsbook odds May Vary)

I don’t often grab the big man and his props, but I think tonight’s game is a fantastic matchup for Nikola Vucevic to score in multiple phases. After the nail-in-the-coffin three on Wednesday night, I think Vooch is in line for a big night against a team that has not shown much physicality in the paint.

On one hand, you might feel strongly that a few players in this Chicago Bulls lineup could go over their point total, as these Thunder games are high scoring and entering tonight, rank 29th in the league in points allowed per game. The game total for this evening is currently 232.5.

In Vucevic’s case, I think he could be really effective both in the paint and potentially from behind the arc. I don’t necessarily expect his three point chances to match Wednesday night’s as he finished 4-10, an attempt number that falls in line with his typical output against Milwaukee, certainly on the high end for attempts. I do think there is a real chance that he will have some opportunities as last year’s performances against the Thunder saw Vooch attempt seven and four three-point in the two games played in 2021-22.

In those two games from last season, Vooch had two of his better night’s of the season, scoring 26 and 31 in the two contests. I think we could see a similar output, and more importantly than the three-point opportunities tonight, I think Vooch could have a huge night inside the paint. OKC ranks 27th in the NBA in points in the paint allowed per game, presumably offering Vooch a chance for a huge night against a front-court lineup that does have some height to them, but not much physicality.

As for the Bulls’ chances themselves, these last two games will certainly give us some confidence and expectation that this should be a win for Chicago, but if OKC comes out firing and SGA is able to score at a high-level, this could be a really tough test for the Bulls. I’ll lay out some trends, positive and negative for each side to give you a picture of what to expect tonight.

Bulls are 5-2-1 ATS their last 8 games following a SU win.Bulls are 7-16-1 their last 24 on one day of rest.Bulls are 1-6-1 their last 8 Friday games.Bulls are 1-3-1 their last 5 meetings in OKC.

Tread lightly on the Chicago Bulls tonight, as this will certainly be a tough test for this team. Expect a nice night from Vooch and hope that the Bulls can hold SGA under 25 points. Let’s see some red tonight, best of luck and GO BULLS!!
