Don’t want to live with out teeth, don’t want to die without bite.
The ease of your pose, the grace of your silhouette, the way that your shoulders meet your slender neck. Where would we be without all the distance? You know I’m already just a skeleton, I don’t have the heart to match the one pricked into your finger. All things made to be destroyed, all moments meant to pass.

We now interrupt special coverage of Teuvo Day In America to bring you our regularly scheduled preview for tonight’s game between the Carolina Hurricanes and the Chicago Blackhawks.
Time to step up: CSN
New Blood: Chicago Tribune
Not a new concept to us around these parts: The Score
As the kids say”Filthy” CBC
So this happened: Puckdaddy
A couple things to cover today, so let’s get to it.
-The Hawks took back second place last night, as the Avs decided to give Semyon Varlamov a week off and threw J.S. Giguere and Reto Berra out there with a straight face. Which completely exposed just how bad their blue line is as both the Habs and Jets lit them up.
As we know, the Hawks won’t get the tie-breaker due to significantly less regulation wins than the Avs. But the schedule ahead for Colorado is not exactly a popsicle (first of all, it’s Fudge-cical).
Still there when they need it: Blackhawks
Secondary scorers better figure it out: ESPN Chi
700: CSN (autoPlay)
1,000: Trib
I feel like quality of team you watch was overlooked: SBN
On this blog recently, we’ve spent a lot of time debating whether the Hawks are either bored or tired (the answer is probably both, but what fun is that to settle for?) We’ve seen the holes in the game, the dead-ass performances, the spikes of dominance, and wondered what it all meant for when it really counts.
Based on tonight’s and other recent “big” games, I suppose I’m starting to lean towards bored. And it’s not in the glow of this performance only, though the Hawks did completely muzzle the team with the most points in the league. On other occasions where the bright lights are on and the opponent has the Hawks complete attention, we’ve seen it. Detroit was one victim. The Ducks in Anaheim another. Boston’s trip to Chicago saw the Hawks play extremely well and take a shootout. There are a couple others I haven’t mentioned.
Maybe it’s both in that the Hawks can do it when they really want to but can’t bring it every game due to fading legs when they don’t particularly. I guess we won’t know until the season’s over, as you can bet Joel Quenneville is going to demand they snap into gear full-time heading into the postseason.
But for one night, the Hawks brought the game we’ve come to love. It could have been any of the league’s premier teamed that was swallowed whole by the Hawks’ complete game and I’d feel as good (well, maybe not all the way). It’s still there when they need it. Let’s be happy with that.
We are all bigots
So full of hatred
We release our poisons… like styrofoam
There are no more cultures left to slide
There are no more people to be tried
We’re in our minds, five billion pieces so defined
Read it in a book, it was underlined.
There are no more races to be run
There are no number left to be won
Everybody’s down
We pulled each other down.
