August Mishegas: Schmaltz, Saad, Whatever Else We Dug Out Of Our Ear

Sam Fels August 13, 2018 0

Heading on vacation for the week, so let’s clear some stuff out before it’s all day drinking and yelling at college friends. -Late to the train on this, but you can excuse me if I totally forgot the Detroit Red Wings existed. Anyway, they inked Dylan Larkin to a five-year extension,

Friday Foofaraw: Our Definitely Not (But Should Be) World Famous EPL Preview – Part 2

Sam Fels August 10, 2018 0

Let’s keep it moving: Leceister: The thing about Leceister is they could suffer three straight relegations and their fans are just never going to care. When you’ve pulled off the biggest miracle championship in sports history, you wouldn’t dare ask for more. Luckily, it won’t be that bad. They’ve hung on to Harry Maguire, but lost […]

You may be sitting there thinking, “Wait, how can it be time for more soccer? Didn’t the World Cup end like seven minutes ago?” And you’d be right! But the world of footy never stops (especially if you’re one of those weirdos who watches MLS), and this weekend sees the new Premier League season kick […]

#21

It is a sad day for all Hawks fans. Stan Mikita passed away, the greatest Hawk of them all. While I could sit here and list off the numbers and accomplishments, or talk about the class and dignity I only experienced through the tellings of other people, I thought it might work better if we […]

The Hawks Continue To Hope You Don’t Notice They Don’t Have A Plan

Sam Fels August 6, 2018 0

Perhaps it being August is leading me to read too much into whatever little is happening with the Hawks, or around the league in general. It is the Doldrums, as we dubbed this time of year long ago, and it appears some of the bigger moves are going to happen on the eve of or […]

Friday Foofaraw: My Hockey Mixtape

Sam Fels August 3, 2018 0

This is admittedly an idea I stole from St. Vincent, whose ITunes Radio Show I just discovered. But hey, if you’re going to steal, steal from the best. Anyway, on her show she creates a mixtape/playlist for people who call in and describe their situation in life. So because we spend a lot of time […]

Sam Fels July 31, 2018 0

I don’t know how it ends up you have this a full three months after your season ended, but…   Team Physician Dr. Michael Terry: “Gustav Forsling underwent surgery today on his right wrist. The surgery went well and the expected recovery time is 14 weeks.” #Blackhawks pic.twitter.com/J54VSM89iL — Chicago Blackhawks (@NHLBlackhawks) July 31, 2018

The Ballad Of Corey And Summer Break

Sam Fels July 30, 2018 0

It wasn’t that we were ever going to learn a whole lot from the Convention and when Corey Crawford appeared (forced to appear?). If anything it only added to the confusion, and pushed us to being more convinced that when he’s not ready for the camp, or even for the season, the Hawks are going […]

Sam Fels July 27, 2018 0

It’s that time again! The last happening on the hockey calendar before we head into the summer doldrums and awake for training camp. It’s in the no way at all kitchy, greedy, utterly creepy Blackhawks Convention! We don’t want you going in there blind, so let us provide a guide for all the goings-on this […]

Our Should-Be World Famous Binary Coach Standings – Eastern Conference

Sam Fels July 27, 2018 0

We did the West yesterday, let’s round it out. Metro Division Rod Brind’Amour (CAR) – INC We don’t know yet, but he spells his name dumb. John Tortorella (CBJ) – Moron I mean… I don’t have to really go any farther than playing Byfuglien at forward in the World Cup, do I? Torts the dude […]
