Bargain Shopping, A Real Third Line, And Whatever Else

Sam Fels October 19, 2018 0

So the Hawks have lost a game in regulation. They’ll probably lose many more. And in truth, last night wasn’t anywhere close to the worst game they’ve played. Couple posts, Antti Raanta being what Antti Raanta is now which is weird, and the bottom of the roster letting you

Matt McClure October 16, 2018 0

There were only two games to talk about over the past week, and what a two games they were. Even still, the main crew is on hand to discuss all that was, and all that might be coming up with (hopefully) Corey Crawford’s return and Brandon Saad’s seemingly inevitable benching. As always, get the audio […]

Let’s Just Go Straight To The Load Jokes

Sam Fels October 9, 2018 0

It’s just easier that way. It would be silly to draw any massive conclusions from just three games. Even 10 wouldn’t be nearly enough. We don’t know anything about the Hawks yet, except that they’ve been entertaining as hell, and Brandon Manning and Cam Ward are terrible. The first is something of a surprise. The […]

Game #1 – You Know I’m Still Here, the Faithful One – Hawks 3, Senators 3 (Hawks Win Sap Boil)

John Pullega October 4, 2018 0

Box Score Natural Stat Trick Hockey’s back. And to quote our Fearless Leader, whether it was fun or just fun-bad, it was, without a doubt, a fun game. Let’s do it. – Everyone ought to be relieved by how good Jonathan Toews and Alex DeBrincat looked tonight. Throughout most game, the only time anything happened […]

Live From The Five Hole – What A Time To Be Barely Alive

Matt McClure October 4, 2018 0

It’s a new season, and for the most part that’s probably not a good thing. But there’s a full cast here to discuss it anyway, with John Pullega and Rose Rankin joining in to discuss the slog that’s in store this year. This podcast will probably be more entertaining than the game in Ottawa, trust […]

Strange Thoughts On This Nervous, Pre-Curtain Raiser Night

Sam Fels October 3, 2018 0

This is our last night before the great circus begins. And maybe we can only hope for it be as entertaining as a circus. More likely, it’ll be just like when you realize how unhappy all the animals are in a circus and you kind of wish they’d go away forever or all just be […]

Preseason Game #6 – We’ve Been Blind to This Before – Hawks 4, Blue Jackets 1

Rose Rankin September 29, 2018 0

OK, this was the Blue Jackets’ B-team so temper your excitement when you see that score. That being said, the Hawks were not terrible tonight, and at times they were downright watchable. Again, I think we need to consider the competition but the Hawks did get shelled by the Ottawa fucking Senators not long ago, […]
