Game #36 – Predators 1, Hawks 2 – I Will Walk Before They Make Me Run

Rose Rankin December 18, 2018 0

The Hawks played well tonight…I’m struggling to believe I typed those words…they played better than a team that is demonstrably more talented and a legitimate Cup contender or at least conference finalist…and so I will try to make sense of this. To the bullets: Box Score

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 […]

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 […]
