Game #33 – Blackhawks 6, Penguins 3 – Broke Clock Gets One Right

Adam Hess December 12, 2018 0

Box Score Corsica Natural Stat Trick Holy hell, the Blackhawks finally looked like a competent NHL hockey team tonight. I am not sure if that means that the Hawks are “back” (they’re probably not, cuz they’re still bad) or that the Penguins are just utter ass. The Hawks

Game #25 – Knights 8, Hawks 3 – Seen It All, Done It All, Felt Pain More

Adam Hess November 27, 2018 0

Box Score Natural Stat Trick Corisca This season is barely more than 25% done and it’s already become a damn chore to watch these games. It’s hard to evaluate what’s going on in games like this outside of “holy fuck this is awful” which makes my job for this wrap all the more difficult. I […]

Game #23 – Hawks vs. Lightning Spotlight: The Clock That Won’t Strike Midnight

Adam Hess November 23, 2018 0

It’s rather fascinating to look at the state of these two teams now three years and some change after they matched up in the 2015 Stanley Cup Final. The Lightning were an ascending team at that time and a lot of people seemed to think they might end up being the next kind of team […]

Game #21 – Wild 1, Hawks 3 – The Boys Are Back, Kinda

Adam Hess November 18, 2018 0

Box Score Corsica Natural Stat Trick The Blackhawks and Wild played in the least interesting Chicago-Minnesota matchup in the Windy City tonight, but in what is hopefully a harbinger of what is to come at Soldier Field, our hometown boys brought home the win. But when I say “least interesting,” I really mean it, cuz […]

Atop the Sugar Pile – So the Lesson is, Never Try

Adam Hess November 13, 2018 0

The Hawks are in a weird spot right now, and that’s being downright generous. They’ve lost seven in a row and perhaps you heard something about a recent coaching change? Oh, you haven’t? Well, let me assure that everyone around Chicago took it very well and no one is overreacting or furious or aghast in […]

Game #13 – Hawks 2, Canucks 4: The Jaws Of Victory Are Easy to Snatch From

Adam Hess November 1, 2018 0

Some combination of last year’s horrible season and all of the insane optimism I have about the Bears has resulted in an all-time low level of expectations about the Blackhawks this year, and with that it’s been difficult for me to get worked up about bad losses. So it should tell you something when I […]

Game #9 – Ducks 1, Hawks 3: Nobody Told Me You Could Die From Bliss

Adam Hess October 23, 2018 0

Box Score Natural Stat Trick There is something so satisfying about this kind of Blackhawks win. Were they perfect? No. But they were the better team on the ice from start to finish. The players you want to see step up and play well did just that. Corey Crawford did his thing. Sure, it was […]

Game #8 – And they say we’re doomed from the start – Blackhawks 3, Lighting 6

Adam Hess October 21, 2018 0

Box Score Natural Stat Trick The Blackhawks were given the unfortunate task of trying to cheer me up after the Bears loss today, and instead of doing that they just took my already broken heart and ripped it out of my chest and stomped on it. Well, not really, because I don’t really think much […]

One Day As A Lion

As Sam goes on his Duncan Keith Appreciation Week, I asked him if I could jump in on the fun, because we all need to express more appreciation for Duncan Keith. Sam has already gone through a lot of praise and declarations about Duncs the other day. Everything Sam said was A). correct, and B. […]
