Second Period Thread – Hawks at Flames
So let’s get rolling, rolling out of this shitty yellow light. ‘Cause we’ve been droning and droning through this parade of identical days. Nothing changes, it only rots away.

First Period Thread – Hawks at Flames
We talk a lot in crappy cars and restaurants and shitty bars. We ain’t trying very hard but we got that fucking bark, we talk a lot. We’ll talk the talk, and talk the shit. Mo’fuckers would be feeling it if they could hear the epithets and the rejoinders that we spit.

Lanny McDonald’s Mustache: Flames Nation, Matchsticks and GasolineFor those taking solace in the fact that at least the Hawks were being jettisoned somewhere even colder as a reward for their performance in the third period on Sunday against the Jets, there’s bound to be a more than a little disappointment in the fact that it’s a full 40 degrees warmer in Calgary than in Chicago at press time. The line to put one’s head in a microwave forms to the left.

Boredom Or Fatigue?
Well we have our first official blip of the season. Actually the whole month has been something of a blip. But this three game losing streak is clearly the nadir. While the Hawks lost some games earlier in the month due to luck or sterling goalie performances, these past three have certainly been “meh” performances. While the Hawks dominated possession for the first 40 last night, it’s not like Al Montoya had to perform cartwheels to keep the Hawks at bay.
So the question now is whether the Hawks are just bored, or the toll taken from playing until almost July is now coming due. The disheartening thing is that we really won’t have an answer until April.

I’ve Seen That Road Before: Blackhawks 1 – Jets 3
Box Score
Event Summary
Extra SkaterWhen the Hawks went into the third period only up a single goal despite outshooting the Jets 27 to 6, there was simply a feeling that this one was going to slip away from them. When Brandon Bollig is the only one who can find the back of the net, things just aren’t really going your way. And so it was – for the second straight game the Hawks looks punchless as they entered the zone and despite the outrageous shot totals, they weren’t really dominating the pace of the game. Too often the chances were one and done without sustained pressure. Sure, Montoya was great and made some fantastic saves, but the Hawks didn’t have the same swagger they had in the previous matches.
