    Ring the alarm, I don’t wanna stay calm cause
    I’m about to rip this Psalm
    When the mic is gripped my lyrics do split up like

    Don’t Go There, Tis A Silly Place: St. Louis Game Time

    Although the Hawks have dropped both games against the Blues this year, the games have actually been pretty even affairs. The first was a loss in a last minute collapse and about a week later it took a shootout to determine a winner. Either one could likely have gone either way, a bad pinch from #7 or one extra deke determined who got 4 points. Now the Hawks return to St. Louis for the first time since early October in the middle leg of an intense three game swing for themselves.

    Night Of The Living Dead: Avs 2 – Hawks Touchdown And PAT

    I don’t know that you learn anything from a night like this. When the opponent clearly is still stowed away neatly in the overhead against the Hawks, it’s going to be over in a hurry unless the Hawks are also a couple tacos short of a combo plate. Sadly for the Avs, the Hawks most certainly were not.

    This game was probably over when it was scheduled and the Avs weren’t allowed to travel until this morning. While I wrote into tonight’s Indian how I thought the union’s call for a three-day Christmas break was harming the league (no exposure at a time when everyone’s sitting around begging for a distraction from their family), I understand wanting Christmas Eve and Christmas day at home with loved ones. I would have thought extending it to Boxing Day would save everyone the hassle of traveling on Christmas night. But to extend a travel ban through the next day? You’re essentially sentencing more than a few teams to be up against it, and Colorado was one of them. I don’t think it’s asking too much for teams to be allowed to fly into town the night of the 26th. It would give them more of a fighting chance.

  • Avs at Hawks 3rd Period Thread

    Yeah, I’m working, making money, I’m just starting to build a name.
    I can feel it, around the corner, I could make it any day.
    Mother mother can you hear me, sure I’m sober, sure I’m sane.
    Life is perfect, never better, still your daughter, still the same.

    I’m hungry,
    I’m dirty,
    I’m losing my mind…
    Everything’s fine!

    When you sent me off to see the world,
    Were you scared that I might get hurt?
    Would I try a little tobacco,
    Would I keep on hiking up my skirt?

    You most likely remember the ‘Lanche (and I’m going to call them that throughout the preview because I know it pisses off their fans) from one of the first lopsided losses of the year. Sure, the Hawks got their dicks kicked in a few nights before by Nashville when Khabby bit it but it was the loss to the ‘Lanche that probably pisses us off the most so far this season. We’ve made our feelings about the team very well known. It’s not just their piece of shit goalie, it’s their asshole coach who is raising asshole kids. The fact that this is only the second of five meetings between the new division rivals means we’re in for a long bile filled season, maybe year to come too. With Detroit out of the conference, we’re looking for a new team to hate. St. Louis will be the obvious choice, but this ‘Lanche team could quickly skyrocket to the top of my teams to despise list.
