Friday Foofaraw – Fast Kicking, Low Scoring and Ties

Rose Rankin April 5, 2019 0

As we expand our remit here at FFUD it gives us the chance to pester you with other non-hockey stuff that we like, such as European soccer (you’ve seen it before with English Premier League pieces from our fearless leader). To that end, the quarterfinals of Champions League are coming up in two legs over […]

An Announcement And Then Rocking Tonight

Sam Fels March 25, 2019 0

Hey all. So I thought we’d talk for a minute. We’re coming up on the end of the season here, and I’ve been thinking about ways to boost what we do around here. As most of you know, or some (I don’t poll our readers, it’s too painful) I write about baseball at various ports. […]

Friday Foofaraw: Chicago Baseball Preview

Sam Fels March 22, 2019 0

It’s been a while since we’ve gotten goofy before a weekend, so let’s do that! It’s Opening Day next week, and it promises to be at least an interesting season on both sides of town. This also might, might foreshadow some other things coming to this blog in the next few weeks, but I’ll get […]

Beto O’Colliton’s Rough Night

Sam Fels March 19, 2019 0

There’s no other grade Jeremy Colliton will get for this season other than “incomplete.” We won’t have any idea if he truly knows what he’s doing until he has an actual NHL blue line to work with, and perhaps an improvement in forwards (though the forward group now is probably better than some teams that […]

Tonight I’m Gonna Rock You Tonight – Weekend Edition (March 15-17)

Sam Fels March 15, 2019 0

First Screen Viewing Flames vs. Jets – Saturday, 6pm It’s funny how the top four teams in the West have kind of kept getting right to the ledge of being genuinely great and then trip over their own dick and have to start again. They’ll be involved with each other on Saturday night, which might […]

Tonight I’m Gonna Rock You Tonight – March 1st-March 3rd

Sam Fels March 1, 2019 0

First Screen Viewing Predators vs. Jets – Friday, 7pm Things are still not decided in the Central, and even though the Blues have been pretty spiky of late, it’s hard to see them getting past either of these teams in Round 1. Unless Jordan Binnington continues to sacrifice many small animals and virgins in the […]

Live From The Five Hole – Nothing Means Nothing

Sam Fels February 26, 2019 0

This week we discuss the Hawks lack of activity at the deadline, more gobbledygook from Stan Bowman, Henri Jokiharju’s place in the organization, and other mishegas.

Atop The Sugar Pile: Don’t Tease Me Unless You’re Gonna Please Me

Adam Hess February 26, 2019 0

I was very resistant to any idea that the Blackhawks were “back” as they were embarking on the win streak a few weeks ago. But as they got within touching distance of a playoff spot (through no major accomplishment of their own, mind you), I started to come around on the idea of playoff hockey […]

Game #63 – Stars 4, Hawks 3: We R Who We R

Sam Fels February 24, 2019 0

Box Score Natural Stat Trick You wanted to believe. I wanted to as well. Even though it was mostly due to the remedial class nature of the bottom of the Western Conference, the Hawks did have a chance to make a real step this weekend. Or at least if you looked at it at the […]
