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

Friday Foofaraw: Our Definitely Not (But Should Be) World Famous EPL Preview – Part 1

Sam Fels August 10, 2018 0

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 […]

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 […]

Hawks Sign Three Guys…Nope, That’s It

Sam Fels July 1, 2018 0

At the top, it’s important to remember that it makes no sense to judge fully the three signings the Hawks made today until they make their big splash via trade, which appears will be the only way they do so. Or until they don’t make that splash. Needless to say, a team that missed the […]

So You’ve Decided To Sign Cam Ward…Because You’re Blind…Or Dumb…Or Both

Sam Fels June 28, 2018 0

When you’ve got Jay Zawaski, Elliote Friedman, and Bob McKenzie all saying that the Hawks are going to move for Cam Ward come Sunday, you have to take it as pretty much gospel. Congratulations, Sweet Jay. You’re among the big boys now. We always knew, don’t forget us when you’re chilling in the hotel bar […]

That’s One Way

Sam Fels June 23, 2018 0

As with everything, how you judge last night’s first round is whether or not you take the Blackhawks at their word. And that’s not really something we do around here. As Fifth Feather pointed out on Twitter, the Hawks for the past two years have come out and said their performance is unacceptable and that […]

Burn The Pages of Unwritten Memoirs – Draft Preview: Adam Boqvist

Adam Hess June 21, 2018 0

As Sam said yesterday about Ty Smith, and because this is the direction the game and league is really headed with the position, you could probably just copy and paste Quinn Hughes draft preview (or Smith’s from yesterday) to get this preview of Adam Boqvist out of Sweden done. Though not necessarily small at 5’11” […]

Burn The Pages Of Unwritten Memoirs – Draft Preview: Ty Smith

Sam Fels June 20, 2018 0

Essentially, what we wrote here about Quinton Hughes at Michigan we could copy and paste for Smith out of the WHL. A tad undersized, but a dynamic offensive force from the blue line who exploded in his second year in the Western Hockey League. After a 32-point season in his debut with Spokane, Smith went […]

Burn The Pages Of Unwritten Memoirs – Draft Preview: Oliver Wahlstrom

Sam Fels June 19, 2018 0

After two of the dream picks yesterday, we move to the likelier draftees for the Hawks. And even Oliver Wahlstrom might be a stretch. But some mock drafts have him getting to #8, and some even have him falling farther than that. There are some who will tell you that Wahlstrom is the best offensive […]

Burn The Pages Of Unwritten Memoirs – Draft Preview: Quinton Hughes

Sam Fels June 18, 2018 0

We’ll continue our look at possible Hawks picks with another son of a former player, and one who probably isn’t going to make it to the Hawks at #8 but would be a boon if he did. And that’s Quinton Hughes from Michigan. Whatever team takes him had better realize that what Hughes does is […]
