  • Beard Of The Day – May 12 – William Petersen

    William Petersen

    As we await the Hawks’ second round opponent on this Sunday, we’d like to take the opportunity to wish a Happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms out there. And in doing so, I present to Chicagoan William Petersen, best known as the salt-and-pepper bearded medical examiner Gil Grissom on CSI, and a personal favorite of both my mother and grandmother.

    Happy Mother’s Day from The Committed Indian.

    Rangers v Caps  – 6:00 Central – NHLN
    Leafs v Bruins – 6:30 Central – NBCSN
    Ducks v Scum – 7:00 Central – CNBC
    Blues v Kings – 9:00 Central – NBCSN

    Three potential handshakes tonight. Discuss them here. Should the Ducks send Scum into the Sarlaac pit, our Sharks preview will begin this weekend even if the schedule won’t be out for a bit.

  • Beard Of The Day – May 8 – Wyatt Cenac

    The Daily Show has long been a proving ground for some of the best talent in comedy to exhibit their skills. Stephen Colbert earned a show of his own from his work in the correspondent position. Ed Helms and Steve Carrell have become bonafide leading men both on television and in film, and Brian Unger, well, we don’t talk about Brian Unger. And that list could very well soon include the bearded Wyatt Cenac.

    With tonight’s game being the first truly serious affair for the Hawks thus far in their series with the Wild, it seems only fitting that some serious riffery accompany it, which is why Dinosaur Jr.’s salt-and-pepper bearded J. Mascis gets the call.

    With the way the NHL has made an ass of itself pretty much across the board since about 5:00PM yesterday, a little caustic humor seems to be in order. And it is with that Marc Maron is presented this Monday morning.

  • Dose of Thunder – Wild 3, Hawks 2 (OT) – Hawks Lead Series 2-1

    With the series now shifting setting to the Twin Cities, the Wild were essentially facing a must-win situation, and decided to change things up a bit from their neutral zone bomb shelter strategy that yielded no results on West Madison.

    Even with the Hawks drawing the first marker on a beautiful feed from Patrick Kane to Johnny Oduya right after a Hawks kill, the Wild pressed on. Coach Mike Yeo made no secret about wanting to ratchet up the physicality and make life unpleasant for Hawk defenders, and did just that, sending wave of cannonballing forwards into the Hawk zone.

    There are few, if any, more decorated or revered children’s authors in recent vintage than the venerable Maurice Sendak. But aside from his actual work in print, Sendak had a lengthy career in producing performances on stage, in film, and on television for children as well.

    He’s got the ponytail, I’ve got the rabbit ears. He’s fly and I’m fly, that’s why they call us…
