Game #32 – Hawks 3, Jets 6: Start The Fire, Headfirst Into The Firefight

Sam Fels December 11, 2018 0

Box Score Natural Stat Trick Corsica  It’s unfair, and nearly impossible, to get a handle on what kind of job Jeremy Colliton is doing after 17 games. I could sit here and say that the Hawks don’t quit even when they’ve been down for what is it, 13 straight games? And I could

 vs.  RECORDS: Hawks 9-17-5   Jets 18-9-2 PUCK DROP: 7pm TV: NBCSN Chicago WARM JETS: Arctic Ice Hockey When you’ve lost seven in a row for the second time in a season, and really the second time in about five weeks, I think it’s healthy to play a team that’s better than you at every single […]

Game #31 – Canadiens 3, Hawks 2 – Make a New Plan, Stan

Rose Rankin December 9, 2018 0

Another game, another heartbreaker. The Hawks actually generated a shitload of shots. Even more surprising, they didn’t give up a shitload, but rather just a regular load. And the power plays…so, so many power plays. And yet, they still couldn’t close it out. I want to watch the Bears game as much as you do, […]

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. […]

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 […]

Their Emblems Built of Garbage – ’18–’19 Blackhawks Player Previews – Erik Gustafsson

John Pullega September 13, 2018 0

As we move down the Hawks’s agonizing back-end, which at this point resembles someone who’s fallen into a porta-potty in a Super Mario Bros.-esque attempt to warp to a different place after the mushrooms really started to kick in, we reach a relative bright spot. We often bemoan the fact that the Hawks don’t have […]

Adam Hess September 8, 2018 0

If you had Connor Murphy picked as a guy who would end up being the Hawks best defenseman last year, please raise your hand. If you’re lying, please raise your other hand. There should be no one with only one hand in the air. That may be a bit of a contentious statement, though. After […]

Rose Rankin September 6, 2018 0

Let’s move on from the acid-reflux-inducing situation that is the Blackhawks goalies, and instead start pondering the black hole of the blue line, which saw notably pitiful changes from last season, despite the obvious need for more talent right now. After giving up 2,683 shots against, their worst number since 2013-2014 (when at least they made […]

Well Pilgrim, Not Until You Eat The Peanuts Outta My…- FFUD’s Player Review: Erik Gustafsson or The Next Norris Winner Thanks To Me

Sam Fels April 26, 2018 0

If Erik Gustafsson becomes a solid top four defenseman for a playoff-bound Hawks next year, I expect to be put on the payroll. Because it was I who told you he sucks to high heaven when the Hawks signed him a contract extension for two years we never saw coming. And then after that he […]
