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 […]

Game #27 – Hawks vs. Predators Q&A: It’s A Saturday Night On Payday Weekend In Muskogee With JR

Sam Fels December 1, 2018 0

Well, not that JR. Not sure where we found JR Lind. He isn’t either. But he’s been our Preds guy for a long time now, which disappoints him to no end. Follow him @JRLind.  Most points in the West, second-best goal difference, the Vezina leader…is there anything to complain about in Predators Land?   As […]

Game #53 Do I Believe in God? Do I Believe in Me? – Hawks 2, Flames 3

Rose Rankin February 6, 2018 0

Box Score Natural Stat Trick Corsica This was a painful one tonight. The Hawks actually played well, managing to lead in possession in all three periods and dominate in shots, and even Glass Jeff had a good night (and you know how I feel about that guy as a starter, so this should tell you […]

Game #36 How Far Will We Fall If There’s Nothing Below – Hawks 2, Canucks 5

Rose Rankin December 29, 2017 0

Box Score Natural Stat Trick Corsica A few days off, some time away with family members, a little breathing space—all of these things should have helped the Blackhawks to bounce back from two crappy losses, right?

Sam Fels December 10, 2017 0

Little something different today, as the Yotes don’t really drum up the emotions. Though we could go off on Zac Rinaldo on another day. But this caught our eye yesterday: Ryan Hartman told me he was scratched last night because of the high-sticking double-minor he took in Washington. "Bad luck. Kind of got slew-footed and […]
