If The Standings Made Sense

Sam Fels March 14, 2018 0

We here at the FFUD offices have always railed against the NHL standings. The presence of the OTL point, the now gimmick 3-on-3 overtime, and shootouts in general have always given the league false parity. It’s rewarded genuinely bad teams while screwing over some actually good teams.

Game #70 – I would’ve preferred the extra hour of sleep – Hawks 3, Bruins 1

Box Score Hockey Stats Natural Stat Trick There is something deeply offensive about the NHL expecting us to watch a hockey game before noon on a damn Sunday. Granted, I’m in Indianapolis so the game started after noon for me, but you get my point. Even the NFL doesn’t ask us to do that except […]

First Screen Viewing Flyers vs. Bruins – 6pm After getting their dick knocked in the dirt by the Penguins, in probably a pretty sobering preview of what might away in April or May, the Flyers head up I-95 to Boston to take on one of the other best teams in the league in the Bruins. […]

Game #65 – Hawks vs. Kings Q&A: It’s Still Aaron, And It’s Still The Same. Eat Arby’s

Not much has changed and Sam’s on vacation so here’s @Atf13atf’s answers from the last time we did this.  Dion Phaneuf? Last week’s blockbuster trade with Calgary for Dion Phaneuf boosts an already strong defense featuring Drew Doughty, Matt Greene, and Rob Scuderi. Just over a year removed from being the Norris Trophy runner-up, Phaneuf […]

Game #60 – I’m behind on what’s really important – Hawks 1, Kings 3

Box Score Hockey Stats Natural Stat Trick Trying to sum this game up is going to be kinda hard. It’d be way easier if the Hawks played real well and just missed on some chances, or even if they played like absolute trash. Instead, they just looked like they didn’t wanna be there, like how […]

Not Only Are They Now Stupid On The Ice, They Remain Breathtakingly Stupid Off It

Please, tell me again what a marketing genius John McDonough is and how there should be classes taught at Wharton about his and Rocky Wirtz’s revival of the Hawks. Really, I want you to stuff me full of all your glowing takes and tributes until my eyeballs shoot out of my head like I was […]

I’ve Got No Expectations to Pass Through Here Again

Rose Rankin February 9, 2018 0

**A break from our regularly scheduled Hawks programming** Around these parts we all ourselves Real Fans Program, essentially embracing our status as regular-ass people following the team we love and writing what we see from that perspective. This approach has always appealed to me because “fan” is all that I am vis-à-vis my teams (spoiler […]

Game #52 – Hawks at Flames Q&A: Fairly Sure He Has Mittens Pinned To His Jacket At All Times

@BookOfFLoob is just one of those things that stuck to our shoe on Twitter. That sort of thing happens in the digital world. Everyone calls him Floob. If you want to make jokes about “Loob,” go right ahead. But he won’t have any idea what you’re talking about. We’re fairly sure he’s afraid of girls. […]

The Thinking (Or Drinking?) Man’s Awards – At The All-Star Break

Sam Fels January 26, 2018 0

Time to get down again. For those who are new to our deranged family, every so often I like to delve into what the end-of-season awards would look like if everyone actually paid attention to what was really going on during the NHL season. This will always remain my wish, but hey, it’s fun to […]
