There Goes Your Manning

Sam Fels December 31, 2018 0

I’m sure it was only a coincidence that the Hawks completed and announced a trade of perhaps their most bewildering signing in a decade during the last Bears regular season game. Wouldn’t want anyone to notice an admission of a stupefying and yet comedic mistake of this proportion.

Game #31 – Canadiens vs. Hawks Douchebag Du Jour: The Worst Of The Q Tree?

Sam Fels December 9, 2018 0

Hey, even Bill Belichick has a shit coaching tree. So maybe it’s just a thing that happens. While the Hawks spiral more and more toward the seventh level of hell, the idea that Joel Quenneville is a hockey genius continues to grow. And maybe he is, though he wasn’t getting much more out of this […]

Angry At Numbers: The Colliton Effect After 15

Sam Fels December 7, 2018 0

I know that’s going to make a few laugh. I won’t stop you. Jeremey Colliton has now gotten as many games as Joel Quenneville did this season. They each were behind the bench for 15. Obviously, at the top the records are pretty clear reading. Q went 6-6-3, whereas Colliton is at 3-10-2. Q had […]

Game #27 – Hawks vs. Predators Spotlight: Ryan Hartman And The Ever-Changing Message

Sam Fels December 1, 2018 0

Whatever the Hawks were selling you about trading Ryan Hartman, it’s proven to be just this side of horseshit. That’s not to say Ryan Hartman would greatly change the fortunes of this Hawks team. But ask yourself who you’d rather watch thrash around on the bottom-six right now, him or Chris Kunitz? Ryan Hartman sits […]

Ocean Of Confusion

Sam Fels November 28, 2018 0

Note: Yes, I realize I’m mixing my Screaming Trees references but just go with me on this, friend.  Babies, I like to pretend I know everything. Or at least enough where I can convince you I know what’s up with the Hawks. But I have to say the last few days have left me as […]

Game #19 – Blues vs. Hawks Q&A: Once More Unto The Ugliest Breach, Dear Friends

Sam Fels November 14, 2018 0

Brad Lee runs a gameday program, like we used to but then we either grew up or lost the light in our eyes, called St. Louis Gametime. It’s like ours if all the people who wrote ours huffed paint for lunch. Follow him on Twitter @GTBradLee. So when are the Blues hiring Quenneville? Or can […]

You Can’t Take The Emotion Out Of It

Sam Fels November 9, 2018 0

I didn’t realize this as I walked in to the building last night. It had been 10 years since I arrived at the United Center seeing what a new coach had in store for the Hawks. In that time, I’ve done that at Wrigley five times. If you’re the other baseball color, you’ve done that […]

MIldewed And Smoldering, Fundamental Differing: A Timeline Of The Quenneville-Bowman Schism

Sam Fels November 6, 2018 0

Whatever the Hawks say, it’s been an open secret to just about everyone in the league and those following the Hawks that Joel Qunneville and Stan Bowman didn’t see eye to eye. Everyone got past it because the Hawks were so successful. When that stopped, this is what you get. And their disagreements spilled everywhere. […]

It’s All Over Now, Baby Q

Sam Fels November 6, 2018 0

It was always going to end like this. It shouldn’t have ended like this. You knew from the summer on it was going to be some kind of American Gladiator obstacle (or do I say Titan Games now?) for Joel Quenneville to finish this season. The Hawks hadn’t won a playoff game in two years, […]
