Box Score Hockey Stats Natural Stat Trick Like a day at the Robert Crown Center, this game leaves us cold, bored, and completely disenfranchised about things that are supposed to be fun. The good news is that none of it mattered, and it’s now almost over. To the bullets. – This was less a hockey […]

Box Score Hockey Stats Natural Stat Trick This one was a real shit show, and that all started this afternoon before the game even started. I have some questions. Let’s get right to the bullets: – So let’s get to the one that I think is the most glaring: what the heck was this lineup? […]

Box Score Natural Stat Trick Corsica Let’s just be honest—the steaming pile of dog shit that was the first period tonight ended things just as they were getting started. Sure, they managed another goal but that did nothing other than temporarily hide how embarrassing the score actually was. To the bullets: –So the aforementioned pile […]

Box Score Natural Stat Trick Corsica My all-time favorite movie turned 20 years old this week, and seeing as Our Special Boy was the one to score the game-winning goal tonight, it seemed appropriate to recall this piece of wisdom from the other Jeffrey Lebowski, the millionaire.

Box Score Hockey Stats Natural Stat Trick Like a Crave Crate, the Hawks were great through the first five. The rest was a blackout of shit, snot, and puke. There’s not much to learn from a drubbing like this, but let’s see what we can find. Sometimes there’s a penny in those sliders. To the […]
