By Sam Fels January 6, 2020 0

Who was good, who was bad, and who was just running heavy, heavy fuel this past week.  The Dizzying Highs Patrick Kane – Much like last year, we could just put him in this spot every week and it would almost certainly never be wrong. Four goals, seven points in three games, which kept him top […]

Box Score Natural Stat Trick Even in the midst of a shitty Hawks season and an even shittier Red Wings season (not that those are anything new in those parts), it still feels nice to watch the Hawks get a nice win over that trash heap franchise from that trash heap city. I just wish […]
