High On The Hog: Getting Physical

By Jon Fromi November 29, 2021 0

The Rockford IceHogs entered this weekend with three games in three days on the schedule. The piglets picked up three standings points, splitting two games with a physical Milwaukee Admirals squad and dropping a shootout in Rosemont. The IceHogs didn’t fare as well in terms of health. It’s possible that Rockford will be on a […]

Well, The Beloved embarassed themselves yet again for seemingly the millionth time in our collective lifetime today, and to what end no one is clear on. Also, wither Kirby Dach? Happy Thanksgiving.

Sucker Train Blues – Calgary, St. Louis, San Jose Previews

By Andy Jonathan November 23, 2021 0

With the last stop of the mini circus tour tonight ending in Calgary, the absolute worst the Hawks can go is .500 on the trip which all things considered is pretty respectable. Which is not to say that the actual PLAY of the team has been up to snuff on the defensive end, because it […]

You’ve Seen The Butcher – Hawks Win 2 of 3 In Pacific NW

By Andy Jonathan November 22, 2021 0

I mean, 4 points is 4 points…right?   Sometimes your hockey team gets completely outplayed in 3 straight games, and yet somehow comes away with wins in 2 of the 3. When that happens, all you can really do is shrug your shoulders and just say “hockey is dumb sometimes.” You could also say “Marc-Andre […]

High On The Hog: Delia Returns

By Jon Fromi November 22, 2021 0

Rockford IceHogs goalie Collin Delia may have won the most important game of his career Saturday night. Too much hyperbole for a mid-November tilt with the Chicago Wolves? Not for a 27-year old goaltender that’s being used as infrequently as Delia. Saturday night, the Rancho Cucamonga, California native was between the pipes for the Chicago […]

Out on a Midnight Run – Seattle, Edmonton, Vancouver Preview

By Summer Corson November 17, 2021 0

We’ve got some late games coming up as the Hawks are heading out on a west coast road trip this week. And perhaps thanks to the sugar rush that comes after a coaching change, the Hawks find themselves having won their last three games and looking ahead to some surprisingly gettable opponents (except Edmonton of […]

Better Than The Alternative – Hawks Win Versus Penguins, Coyotes

By Matt McClure November 15, 2021 0

Apologies for waiting two days to get a wrap up here, but all things considered, this was a relatively uneventful week with only two games, and only minimal off-ice unpleasantness. Even on top of that, the Hawks actually won both of those games, and even one in regulation- it truly us a wonderous new frontier […]

High On The Hog: A Matter Of Shots

By Jon Fromi November 15, 2021 0

The Rockford IceHogs have two major problems ten games into the 2021-22 campaign: They have problems getting shots. They have problems preventing shots. The piglets 3-6-1 record and status as cellar-dwellers in the AHL’s Western Conference can be easily explained with a look at the stat sheet. Rockford is badly outshot on a nightly basis […]

Walking Is Still Honest – Penguins & Coyotes Preview

By Matt McClure November 9, 2021 0

At last the long national nightmare is over. Coach Kelvin Gemstone/Vinny Del Colliton/Jeremy Bevington/Jeremy Trestman/Alpo Colliton/Jeremy Prinze, Jr./Cool Youth Pastor and his throbbing brain filled with defensive schemes so elaborate he forgets to even bother thinking about in game deployment are gone. It was about 18 months overdue, but the important thing is that
