Game #49: Hawks 6, Leafs 2 – Don’t Tease Me If You’re Not Gonna Please Me

Adam Hess January 18, 2020 0

Box Score Natural Stat Trick These kinds of wins from the Hawks are always simultaneously thrilling and frustrating. Obviously, skullfucking any opponent that is so much better than the Hawks on paper like the Leafs appear to be feels incredible, but then you check some of the metrics on the

Game #43 – Wings 2, Hawks 4 – Better Than The Alternative

Adam Hess January 5, 2020 0

Box Score Natural Stat Trick Even in the midst of a shitty Hawks season and an even shittier Red Wings season (not that those are anything new in those parts), it still feels nice to watch the Hawks get a nice win over that trash heap franchise from that trash heap city. I just wish […]

Game #35: Avalanche 4, Hawks 1: Same Old Story, Same Old Stink

Box Score Natural Stat Trick The Blackhawks still suck, the Avs are still good. I spent most of this day traveling so and then I had to watch this ordeal so let’s just get this done: A Preface – the above photo does not at all depict how this game went, but it was too […]

Everyone’s Talking About Some Guy… Who Cares? – White Sox Trade for Nomar Mazara

Adam Hess December 11, 2019 0

There was once a time when acquiring Nomar Mazara from the Texas Rangers would have been a move that inspired excitement and a great deal of hope in White Sox fans. Back in the winter of 2016, Mazara was the rumored headliner of the Rangers’ offered package for Chris Sale. What the Sox did get […]

Game #30 – Coyotes 3, Hawks 3 (Coyotes get to face Robin Lehner in shootout) – The Air Is So Cold And Numb

Box Score Natural Stat Trick The more of these recaps I do, the less I want to do them. Each game just gets more and more incredible, in a bad way. I almost feel like I, and perhaps Blackhawks Twitter/Bloggers in general, are out of things to say about this team that aren’t just the […]

Use Me For Your Kingdom’s Cause

If the early signing of Yasmani Grandal gave you a perhaps unrealistic amount of naive faith that things might be changing for the White Sox when it comes to the free agent market, Zack Wheeler signing in Philadelphia may have brought you crashing back to earth. If you feel as though you match this description, […]

Game #28: Hawks 3, Bruins 3 (Hawks win toilet seat toss): Breathing Deeply, Walking Backwards

Adam Hess December 5, 2019 0

Box Score Natural Stat Trick It was a weird night for the Blackhawks, who got out to a nice lead, managed to piss it away, and then still won* in overtime in spite of themselves. The Bears are also on, and let’s admit we all care about that more, so let’s hit the basics: I […]

Box Score Natural Stat Trick Many of you dear readers have far better things to do with your Saturday night than watch the Blackhawks play the Stars in Dallas, and for that I sincerely envy you. I truly did not expect much from this game between these two teams, but this one turned out to […]

Oh My God, It’s Happening: White Sox Sign Yasmani Grandal

Adam Hess November 21, 2019 0

There is no need to bury a lede here: The Chicago White Sox did the damn thing and signed Yasmani Grandal to a 4-year, $73-million deal. I don’t need to tell you this, but it’s obviously a monumental deal for the White Sox in so many ways, and we will get to them all. Quite […]

Game #21: I Still Miss Teuvo – Hurricanes 4, Hawks 2

Adam Hess November 19, 2019 0

Box Score Natural Stat Trick This game was extremely boring for about 53 minutes, then the Hawks made some shit happen but ultimately not enough. Carolina pretty much waxed the Hawks asses for most of the night but even that wasn’t all that interesting, so I just spent most of the time thinking about how […]
