Imo’s Pizza Is Fucking Terrible: St. Louis Game Time
After two and a half weeks camped out on West Madison, the Blackhawks will once again take their traveling circus, white sweaters in tow, on the road. That particular road tonight is about 350 miles of I-55 down to the glorified outdoor flea market of St. Louis.

For those who may have missed it (get a subscription already), this ran in Sunday’s Indian.
This was inspired by Ron Swanson’s Pyramid of Greatness, the classic Rules of Rock (and Rules For Audiences of Rock) from Buddyhead, and a seemingly never-ending avalanche of shit on Twitter in the wake of the several incidents involving the Hawks and THE CODE, with people oh-so-politely questioning what exactly I’m looking for a hockey team to be. So here it is in handy infographic format for future reference.
I dunno what you stayed this long for. Fire away.
I’m not fine and I’m not the one crying. I’m sick. You’re tired. Oh yeah.
The sky burns black blue bruised over these lights. From the station, these shitty cars, these liquor store signs.

Woody Hayes’ Snapping Turtle: The Cannon
For as interminable as the road trip(s) of January and early February seemed, the Hawks’ seven game homestand is already reaching game six tonight, and it feels like it’s already blown by. Tonight presents the middle stanza of the rare three-games-in-four-nights-at-home that the incredibly productive lockout has now yielded, and in it the Hawks welcome the Columbus Blue Jackets to West Madison for the first time this season.
There’s no telling what I’ll do, if I don’t return to you.
I sink deep, thirty thousand feet, into my window seat electric chair.
Choking on the thought of leaving, drinking to keep from sobbing.

Those Damned Blue Collar Tweekers: Fear The Fin, Battle of California
For the third time in seventeen days and the second in a week, the Hawks and Sharks will square off, once again on suspect United Center ice. In this abbreviated season, this will close out the season series with the Teal in relatively brief fashion. And ordinarily one would think that it still isn’t ending nearly soon enough for the Sharks given how the first two games have gone. But tonight they have an opportunity to be the proverbial turd in the punchbowl while still clawing their way back into contention for a division once again no one but Anaheim seems particularly interested in winning.
