Deadline Possibilities

Sam Fels February 19, 2020 0

Leave it to Elliotte Friedman to angry up my blood in his 31 Thoughts this week: 7. I do think Colorado checked out Corey Crawford. But Robin Lehner’s future ties into Chicago’s decision. Lehner’s performance during Chicago’s 5-3 loss to Edmonton raised eyebrows. Not because he was bad or anything, but because he was “quiet.” Lehner plays a […]

Game #58: Hawks 8, Flames 4 – Gotta Put the Hard Times on Poor Choices, Gotta Put the Good Ones on Luck

Rose Rankin February 16, 2020 0

You may have been surprised when you woke up and saw the Hawks score from last night (because I’m fairly confident you weren’t staying up late to see it–only losers like myself, Sam, Matt, and about four other cretins would actually spend a Saturday night that way). And you probably thought, wow, maybe some shaky […]

Atop the Sugar Pile: Go West, Young Man

Rose Rankin February 10, 2020 0

As the Hawks venture into the western reaches of Canada, let’s look at who’s hot and who’s not: The Dizzying Highs Brandon Saad. Playing on a line with Patrick Kane will always help your scoring no matter who you are, but there’s no reason to nitpick. Saad has been putting the puck in the net […]

vs. RECORDS: Hawks 24-21-6   Coyotes 26-21-6 PUCK DROP: 6pm TV: NBCSN Chicago NO REGRETS: Five For Howling The Hawks won’t get to ease their way back into the swing of things after their midseason bye, as they’ll immediately be plunged into something of a wildcard four-pointer in Arizona. And this has not been a location […]

Atop the Sugar Pile — Yuletide Edition

Rose Rankin December 24, 2019 0

The level of inconsistency this past week was mind-boggling, so why not examine the good, the bad and the marginally acceptable? There was plenty of all three to go around. The Dizzying Highs Dominik Kubalik: A Little Bit of the Kubbly has been downright impressive these last few games, not counting the game against the […]

Game #36 – You’ll Wear a Dress, Baby I’ll Wear a Tie, We’ll Laugh at That Ol’ Bloodshot Moon in That Burgundy Sky – Hawks 4, Jets 1

John Pullega December 19, 2019 0

Box Score Natural Stat Trick Sometimes, all you need are a couple of individually brilliant performances. The Hawks had all the consistency and cleanliness of a Taco Bell–hosted afterparty toilet bowl, but came away with a decently dominant victory. Let’s wrap it. – Patrick Kane gave as many fucks as he could tonight. When that […]

Atop the Sugar Pile – Taking a Breath

Rose Rankin December 16, 2019 0

Don’t worry, this won’t be just hair-pulling and complaining about the terrifying lows…I mean, I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t thought about it, but I wouldn’t do that (yet)… The Dizzying Highs The Kubalik-Toews-Saad line. This has been working, when so little else has been. Brandon Saad in particular has been playing well […]
