Kids Of The Blackhole: The Royal Half, Jewels From The Crown, Battle of California
In the six-ish months since last season’s Western Conference Finalists last met, not a lot has changed. Both teams are in the thick of things in a ridiculously competitive and re-aligned western conference, with the Kings performing their usual puttering act through the first half of the season despite excellent underlying possession metrics. However, the men manning the cages tonight are a far cry from what anyone would have envisioned early last June.
Hey dude, he’s The Stallion.
Don’t caress the weasel, and don’t fall too soon. Don’t seek the blood from the panther. Don’t take a trip to you soon. I’m the one helding the time back from the sun as I scope the lobe. I am the one who controls the sun, and I know that things will pass as time elapses.
Mach 10 at sudden speed, flying into the wind now. I’m throwing at my feet something of likeness to you now.

Still Haven’t Sent Us Cheesesteaks: Broad Street Hockey
A lot can change in three and a half years’ time. And there might not be two more wildly divergent teams in that period of the NHL with regard to both asset management and results on the ice than those that competed in the 2010 Stanley Cup Final. And tonight, the Hawks will welcome the Philadelphia Flyers back to United Center ice for just the second time since a 7-4 dong whipping in Game 5 of that series.
Fuck this band and their foolish pride, which lets them think they can get away with this.
Fuck this band ’cause they swear too much. It’s an obvious ploy and irresponsible.
Fuck this band, and their demon seed. ‘Cause if they burst out you’re responsible.

Craig Ludwig’s Shin Pads: Defending Big D
For the third time in less than two weeks, the fourth time so far this season, the Hawks will take on the Stars for the third and final time in Dallas. So if it feels like the Hawks are constantly playing the Stars within this newly christened (or re-christened depending on if they’re still viewed as a descendant of the North Stars) divisional rivalry, it’s because it’s kind of true.
