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 […]

There’s never a dull moment even when the on-ice product is mediocre at best, so that’s why Sam, Fifth Feather, Pullega, and myself (Scottie, Luc, Ron Harper, Robert Chief) are here to discuss it. As is customary, no subscription necessary for the post-jump audio.

There are so many layers to this Nick Schmaltz trade. So let’s start on the surface. On the surface, or in a vacuum, or whatever arena you need to evaluate the trade simply on the players involved, it’s not a bad trade. If you go by the “Team That Gets Best Player Wins Trade” model, […]

Game #22 – Hawks 2, Capitals 4: It’s Just a Face in the Crowd Down a Dead-End Street

Rose Rankin November 21, 2018 0

I don’t know what the hell the Hawks were doing at the beginning of the game, but a slow start pretty much screwed them. They followed that up with a lot of dumb penalties, making life harder for themselves, but had it not been for some abject stupidity right after puck drop we may have […]

Game #18 – Hawks 2, Hurricanes 2 (Canes win ping pong tourney): Can’t Get Right

Box Score Natural Stat Trick Corsica Well, changing coaches hasn’t worked yet. Jumbling around the lines didn’t really either. Though Jeremy Colliton has his first point, a return of one out of six probably isn’t what management had in mind. Or maybe it was and they didn’t tell us? Whatever it was, tonight was nothing […]

LARRY!: Canes Country, Section 328 It has to end sometime, it has to end somewhere… I can’t say that it’s totally encouraging that Jeremy Colliton is hitting the Quenneville Memorial blender in his third game in charge.

What Can Jeremy Colliton Do?

Sam Fels November 7, 2018 0

Even with four days off, there’s hardly any time to pivot from the end of the greatest coaching career the Hawks have ever seen to the era of Jeremy Colliton, whatever it might be. Maybe you shouldn’t look to bury your news on Election Day, hmmm? Another discussion for another time. The Hawks may still […]
