Well, we’ve already taken the first step, so why not just keep going? In an effort to expand our output and make you, dear subscriber, feel like we’re giving you everything you might want (or definitely don’t want, because we’re assholes), let’s see if we can’t find someone to man a possible football wing. What […]

Why It Matters

Rose Rankin July 8, 2019 0

I’d like to say that sports are divorced from politics or from social issues in general, but the truth is they’re not. They never have been. Sports are a cultural phenomenon in that they motivate groups of people to carry out communal gestures and engage in agreed-upon behaviors and actions specific to that group (sorry […]

Hawks Sign Centers To Have Too Many Centers So Get Rid Of One Center You Know Which One

Sam Fels July 1, 2019 0

I bury the lede too much, so let’s start with the Hawks signing Ryan Carpenter for three years at a million each. It’s a little weird to sign a fourth-liner for three years, but at a million apiece it makes no difference. Still, I find it funny that the Hawks tell you they need a […]

Well, The Construction Workers Will Stop Yelling At McDonough Now

Sam Fels June 30, 2019 0

I know what you’re thinking, and you’re not exactly wrong. You’re just not totally right, either. At least there’s a good chance you’re not entirely right. Yes, the Hawks pro scouting sucks. And this is why they keep going back to the well of, “Well, he was good here before!” And it’s never worked. Versteeg […]

Stan’s Off to Market – Free Agent Shopping List: Mats Zuccarello

Rose Rankin June 28, 2019 0

According to all the latest gossip the Hawks think they’ve solved their blue-line issues with the Maata and de Haan signings…no really, they think that! This leaves us with forwards to noodle on as free agency approaches, and while we’re not actually convinced they’ll bring Zuccarello here, at this point, why not go through the […]

It’s only one report. And you can hear things differently. But The Athletic’s Scott Powers had some thoughts yesterday, and boy do they set you out to kind of ignore next season. Let’s go through them. 1. The Athletic’s Pierre LeBrun reported Tuesday the Blackhawks’ offseason objective now that they’ve signed two defensemen is to find […]

John Pullega June 27, 2019 0

Do you remember the time Stan Bowman signed Brandon Manning and I completely lost my goddamn ass several times about it? Well if you liked that, you’re going to love watching me pull my entrails out of my eye sockets when they sign one of the biggest, dumbest, most useless pieces of shit on ice […]
