That Dirty Little Word

Adam Hess January 25, 2019 0

Here in the middle of the NHL All-Star Break, I find myself in a familiar place as last year – we’re 51 games into the Blackhawks’ season, and I’m about to talk about how they should probably tank. No, really, click this link and I literally wrote about the tank last year at the same […]

Game #44 – The Pastrami’s Pilin’ High While You’re Comin’ Down – Hawks 5, Penguins 3

John Pullega January 6, 2019 0

Box Score Corsica Natural Stat Trick There’s probably nothing that will completely take the sting of today’s Bears game away for diehards, but the Hawks sure did their damnedest anyway. They continue what’s been a surprisingly comical dominance of the Pittsburgh Penguins, winning their 10th straight against them since 2014. And they did it on […]

Game #16 – Hawks 0, Flyera 4: All Seven And We’ll Watch Them Fall

Sam Fels November 10, 2018 0

Box Score Natural Stat Trick Corsica At least the Colliton Era already has a familiar pattern. Once again, the Hawks were the better team in the first period. They had the better chances, they looked faster and more creative than they have for most of the season, and yet they couldn’t solve a goalie who […]

Their Emblems Built of Garbage – ’18–’19 Blackhawks Player Previews – Victor Ejdsell

John Pullega September 24, 2018 0

With only the second line having any kind of predictability, there looks to be a lot of open space for the younger crop of players in the bottom six. One of the more intriguing options is the massive Victor Ejdsell, who came over in the Hartman trade last year. Though he’s not likely to serve […]

Their Emblems Built of Garbage – ’18–’19 Blackhawks Player Previews – Marcus Kruger

John Pullega September 21, 2018 0

Kruger is only one season removed from being the firefighter you remember here, and we know that Q knows exactly what he is. Let’s say he’s an improvement on David Kampf. And he only has one year on his deal, so if he’s another charred remains of a beloved warrior of victories past, well whatever. […]

John Pullega September 19, 2018 0

If you believe that time is a flat circle, then there are two signings that make perfect sense. One is Brandon Manning, whose performance Q recently described in an after-camp interview as pleasing in the same breath as saying that Jokiharju will need to work on his decision-making if he wants to make the team.

Blackhawks Open Camp, Are Covered In Puke Within 10 Minutes

Sam Fels September 14, 2018 0

People, as I’ve shared in the past, I used to be a comedian. And never, in my seven to eight years of dedicating my life to trying to write stuff to make people laugh, did I ever come anywhere close to anything as absurd and uproarious as the opening hour of Blackhawks training camp this […]
