As shall remain the case, the podcast posts will be free to everyone, not just subscribers, and hopefully this year’s Christmas episode doesn’t kill the intro music artist. Get it after the jump.

Paisley Park: Hockey Wilderness
After a brief and suprisingly victorious jaunt to Manitoba on Thursday, the Hawks return home tonight having now had a couple days worth of rest, and will face of against the Wild, with whom they are tied, who played last night, and are beat the hell up by injuries.

God Save The Queen: Arctic Ice Hockey, Jets Nation
Fresh off three somewhat palate-cleansing barely-wins against the absolute dregs of the league at home in Buffalo, Arizona, and Florida, the Hawks face a far sterner test tonight in The Peg, where the Jets at least kind of look like they have finally gotten their shit together.
With the whole crew back for this episode, this recent stretch against dog ass opponents gets discussed, as well as the Erik Karlsson possibilities league-wide, along with holding teenage grudges against your parents. Grab the audio after the jump, the podcasts will remain free for everyone including non-subscribers (aka non-believers aka infidels)
With no Sam this week, Slak and John treat me like the substitute teacher that I am while we discuss the Freakout Hell Bus ride that was the last week, along with the ridiculous new lines. Get it after the jump.

He Could Really Make It If He Just Got His Shit Together: The Royal Half, JFTC
As the Freakout Hell Bus Ride of 5 games in 7 nights comes to a close on West Madison tonight, the Hawks are looking to avoid losing their fourth straight game after having gone 1-1-2 so far, with the resurgent Kings now waiting for them as the capper.
Fresh off an understandable loss to the Preds last night, we take a look at the last week and what it portends to. Get the audio after the jump. No subscription needed.

Fuck David Poile: On The Forecheck
With the next stop on this Freakout Hell Bus Ride of 5 games in 7 nights for the Hawks, they find themselves once again in Nash Vegas, where they’ll take on the league’s secret scumbag team masquerading as its sweetheart, the Predators, who somehow once again look different than the last time the Hawks saw them.

Wade County: Litter Box Cats
As if Florida in and of itself isn’t fucking weird enough, this is the first year in nearly anyone’s memory that the Hawks are out east over the Thanksgiving weekend thanks to the long overdue demise of the animal rights violation spectacle that was the Ringling Brothers circus. So it’s a little odd that the Hawks are in Sunrise tonight to take on the Panthers (who are also weird) rather than catching the ass end of a back to back in LA after a Friday afternoon in Orange County, but again, Florida is inherently weird to begin with.
Despite the Hawks not being in Western Canada for this week for the first time in any of our four lifetimes, we still have thoughts for you about Gustav Forsling, John McDonough, and Big Cat Williams. Grab it all after the jump.
