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

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 […]

Burn The Pages Of Unwritten Memoirs – Draft Preview: The Dreaded Laramie

Sam Fels June 18, 2018 0

While it wouldn’t be our first choice, the Hawks are certainly making all the noise they can that they’re going to keep the #8 pick. And hey, they just might and Stan Bowman’s drafting record is not bad, and he hasn’t ever had a pick this high to play with. The highest pick Bowman has […]

Friday News Dump/Contract Signings

Sam Fels June 15, 2018 0

Generally on Friday afternoon is when anyone that has bad news to announce will release it, figuring most will miss out as they’re on their way home for the weekend and media departments are depleted. The signings of John Hayden and Vinnie Hinostroza to contract extensions aren’t exactly that, as they’re not bad news, but […]

Friday Foofaraw: Your Not So Scientific World Cup Preview

Sam Fels June 8, 2018 0

I could have done this next Friday, but by then we’ll be up the elbow in World Cup matches so let’s get it done now. Because I want to. Anyway, if you’re not a footy fan, well that’s your problem, but the world’s biggest party begins on Thursday in Russia. After bribing his way into […]

Friday Foofaraw: Champions League Final Preview

Sam Fels May 25, 2018 0

If you’re new to these parts, once summer hits we use Friday afternoons as an experiment lab to mix various chemicals and hopefully don’t lose our eyebrows in the process. What that means in layman terms is we write about whatever the fuck we want on summer Friday afternoons. And another set of information. If […]

Night Songs – Round 3 Night 8: We’re Not Beyond This?

Sam Fels May 18, 2018 0

You don’t have to analyze last night’s Bolts-Caps game very hard. Andrei Vasilevskiy did to the Caps what Braden Hotlby has done on a few nights this spring, and the Caps–perhaps more predictably than we guessed just four nights ago–handed back their advantage so dominantly attained in Tampa. The Capitals didn’t do anything wrong, and […]

You Get What Anyone Gets: Saying Goodbye To The Nashville Predators

Sam Fels May 11, 2018 0

You can’t run from who you are. That’s the lesson for the Predators this spring. They told themselves a lot of things. They did a lot of things above their head the past two seasons. But eventually, the truth always comes back. And the Predators go home before any baubles are handed out, other than […]
