A Rebuild Would Be Nice If the Architect Weren’t Drunk

John Pullega October 12, 2020 0

A completely fucking banner 96 hours for Stan Born on Third. Bowman dug deep into his throbbing Krang’s-body brain to: 1. Cut his franchise goaltender with nary a negotiation. 2. Trade a solid top-6 LW for a defenseman whose greatest contribution to the sporting world tops out at “piques Vince

High On The Hog: If They Play, How Will Rockford Look?

Jon Fromi October 12, 2020 0

A long, long time ago, the American Hockey League was supposed to begin the 2020-21 season this past weekend. In more favorable conditions, I would be readying you for another season of Rockford IceHogs hockey. Lamentably, that is not the case. The sixty-four thousand dollar question around BMO South (my basement) is when our ‘Bago […]

So Long, Crow—and Other Stuff of Lesser Import

The message to Corey and to everyone else today is that we’ve decided we have some young goaltenders here in Chicago we believe in. –Stan Bowman The indignities never cease. We all sort of knew it was coming, but it doesn’t make it hurt any less. The Hawks won’t be re-signing Corey Crawford. There are […]

That’s It! The Case Cracker! Dylan Sikura for Brandon Pirri Because F*ck You

John Pullega September 28, 2020 0

We all have our security blankets. Mine is comparing Alex Nylander to a pile of microwaved dog shit. Perhaps yours is drugs, or alcohol, or comparing us to a pile of microwaved dog shit (see?). Stan Bowman’s is trading for/signing players he had under contract before, presumptively because they’re a known known. So god damn […]

The Indiginites Truly Never Cease

There is no way to dance around how the breaking story from respected and long-time Panthers reporter George Richards impacts us here. In short, Dale Tallon is reported to have used racist language while representing the Panthers as recently as their appearance during the preliminary round of the playoffs in Toronto. And while nothing is […]

Live From The Five Hole – Dead Man’s Coat

Matt McClure August 20, 2020 0

Well clearly there was a lot to go over and a lot to look towards with the Hawks’ season now (mercifully) over. This is runs longer than an Apatow movie, and will age even worse, but grab all the audio after the jump.

Quarterfinals Game #5 – Small Change Got Rained on With His Own .38 – Hawks 3, Knights 4 – Knights Win Series 4–1

Box Score Natural Stat Trick They got farther than they should have. Some of the kids showed flashes of brilliance. Others looked everything from odious to unusable. We got a couple more classic games from one of our favorite guys. And all the while a coach. My oh my, a coach. – Jeremy Colliton is […]

Quarterfinals Game #4 – Keep On Sniffin’ ‘Til Yer Brain Goes Pop – Knights 1, Hawks 2

John Pullega August 16, 2020 0

Box Score Natural Stat Trick Or 3 to 1, whatever. What a perfect microcosm of what you could only loosely call any of the Hawks’s success this year. The team gets its doors blown entirely off the hinges, only to win on the back of their rafter-worthy best goaltender in team history. We are all […]
