vs. RECORDS: Hawks 4-6-3  Sharks 4-10-1 PUCK DROP: 9pm TV: NBCSN Chicago THE BUBBLE BURST: Just follow @ItWasThreeZero, but it’s a little blue I bet you didn’t think that a month into the season, we’d be sitting here with the Hawks with more points than the Sharks. And yet, that’s where we are. It has […]

Game #14 – Hawks vs. Sharks Spotlight: Logan Is Finding Out What It Feels Like

Sam Fels November 5, 2019 0

Over the summer, the Sharks made a pretty big call. Their usual M.O. has been to just strip their captain of the position when their season flamed out before they felt it should. Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau both felt the sting of that particular whip, with the former taking over for the latter and […]

Game #14 – Hawks vs. Sharks: Hedley’s Lamarr’s Dimwits, Halfwits, Nitwits

Evander Kane – As always. But it’s a conspiracy against him, don’t ya know? Erik Karlsson’s Effect On The Media – Should you be completely bereft of something to do, watch a Sharks game through the opposing broadcast. Because it won’t be much more than 5-10 minutes before the color analyst or studio one gets in a […]

Maybe Magic Training Camp Takes A While To Have Effect

Sam Fels October 11, 2019 0

We joke a lot around here. Mostly it’s to keep from crying. It’s certainly better than thinking about anything you’ve seen seriously with this team the past couple seasons. Anyway, if you’re somewhat new or just missed it, we refer to “Magic Training Camp” because every excuse for the Hawks last year seemed to get […]

Game #2 – Sharks 5, Hawks 4 – It Was All Illusion, A Fragment of the Whole

Rose Rankin October 10, 2019 0

OK, so it certainly wasn’t dull. That’s one thing I can definitely say about this home-opener-legit-season-opener since the Prague game felt like a weird extra preseason game. There were goals, there were changes to the lines, there were shameful defensive breakdowns—a little something for everyone. But at the end of the day, the Hawks lost […]

Game #2 – Sharks vs. Hawks Spotlight: Is Martin Jones Broken?

Sam Fels October 10, 2019 0

For most of last year, if you paid attention to the underlying numbers, or metrics, or analytics, or whatever other scrabble word you use, you knew that the Sharks were one of the best teams in the league. In fact, by those measures they were basically blowing away the Western Conference, and somehow losing the […]

Game #2 – Sharks vs. Hawks: Hedley Lamarr’s Nitwits, Halfwits, And Dimwits

Slightly tweaked feature this year. Instead of the Douchebag Du Jour, we’ll list a couple doofuses on the opponent that night.  Evander Kane – Always the king, one of the bigger scumbags in the league, and now comes equipped with a victim complex that somehow justifies pushing and slashing referees. There isn’t a manhole deep enough […]

You Ain’t Shane, You Ain’t Mook – ’19-’20 NHL Team Previews: San Jose Sharks

Sam Fels September 27, 2019 0

It’s not often a team loses its captain and its leading goal-scorer and is still considered among the conference favorites. But such is life in the West where no one has really jumped forward aside from the Colorado Avalanche. The San Jose Sharks return Erik Karlsson, which if he can remain upright for even 60 […]

You Get What Anyone Gets – Saying Goodbye To The ’18-’19 San Jose Sharks

Sam Fels May 22, 2019 0

You had one job to do. Let it be known forth that the San Jose Sharks are the only Bay Area organization that can only wield its location and power to fuck itself. Whereas everyone else stationed there slowly (or not) takes over the world and is influencing their various spheres and others, the only […]
