If any of you kids are still up and about and want a bit of fresh air to talk about the Handzus winner (because of course it had to be Zus). This is your thread to do so. We’ll be back with a beard and a wrap in the morning.
So hold your head up high forgotten man, tomorrow’s not for me and you. And everybody’s gotta try to lend a helping hand; for God and man there’s nothing more to do.
It crackled on the radio through bright plumes of the sun.
The announcer said the age of faith was dead. Though the adolescent nation was just looking for salvation, the beast of reason reared its ugly head.
Welcome my son to where the work is never done, and the hungry are seldom ever fed. The Department Of False Hope is a proving ground for dopes, and they’ll grind your tiny bones to make their bread.

Nuthin’ But A G Thang: The Royal Half, Jewels From The Crown, Battle of California
There was always the very real possibility that the Hawks’ season could come at the hands of the Kings, but there would have been few that would have thought it would happen so swiftly and emphatically. But regardless of the circumstance, the Hawks now find themselves in a must win game on West Madison this evening to continue playing.
No, no, no, no, you insulted him a little bit. A little bit.

It’s never easy to try and look clear-eyed after something like last night. But if you can cut away the emotion of all of this, it doesn’t take an expert to see that the Kings’ power play is the difference in this series. Because at even-strength, it’s been pretty even, if the Hawks haven’t actually shaded it. But the special teams battle makes this series look like a mismatch. That particular facet certainly is.
It’s too simplistic to say that it’s due to inept penalty killing, because this Kings’ PP is humming. I’m not sure any team could stop it right now, though one with a coach able to recognize what is actually happening might stand a chance (however infinitesimal). The Hawks have yet to recognize the problem, or if they have they haven’t really done much about it. I went back through all the power play goals the Kings have scored this series (boy that was fun) to see if we can’t find the problem.
With the Hawks returning from Hollywood, it seems appropriate to recognize a Chicagoan who made it big in the film industry but always returned home, that being the late, great Harold Ramis.
