It’s funny. We’ve been doing this blog for six seasons, and I think if you asked all three of us if there was a game that was simply beyond us, we wouldn’t have an answer. We might have one, which was Game 6 against Vancouver in 2009. But other than that, I really don’t think I’ve seen anything like tonight. Sure, at points both Finals against Philly and Boston reached a ridiculous pace. But there was an element of control in those.
This? This was in-the-red, eyes-tearing, consciousness-erasing shit from just about the 2nd period on. If not the 1st. I can honestly say that at least from the 3rd period on I’ve never seen a hockey game played at that pace. This was going plaid. It felt like I was thrown on an untested roller coaster pumped full of coke and seated next to Ted Nugent.

Even in sending the series back to L.A. for Game 6, the Hawks are still stranded on an island facing elimination. And their only hope will be to build a raft of twine, palm tree trunks, and clean defensive zone exits. And their imaginary friend Wilson Handzus possibly set adrift at sea.
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.

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.
