This crossroad lies before us now, and the world watches our every move. While we choose which way to go, we still have so much left to lose.

Game 2 – Second Period Thread – Wild vs Hawks
But there’s a change coming on, we gotta right these fucking wrongs. They can cover their ears, but we won’t stop screaming.

Game 2 – First Period Thread – Wild vs Hawks
These obvious manipulations, predicated on the basis of morals. The unseen eyes, so careless in their calculations, forever washing the blood from their hands with an appetite insatiable.

Pour Me Another – Game 2 Wild vs Hawks Preview, Pregame Thread, All Ages Show
Game Time: 8:30PM Central
TV/Radio: CSN, NBCSN, CBC (Anglo), RDS2 (Franco), WGN-AM 720
File Under: Easy Listening: Hockey WildernessIn the two days since the Hawks came out flat, taking far longer to dispatch the Wild than many were expecting or would have liked, the Blues and Penguins have already won the Stanley Cup a couple of times over, so tonight’s Game 2 between the Hawks and Wild is more than likely an exercise in futility. But in spite of all of that, the two teams are going to play anyway.

Beard Of The Day – May 3 – Jarvis Cocker
For about ten minutes in the mid-90s (an entirely different era than the early 90s), BritPop made its way stateside. Oasis’ Gallagher brothers were busy drunkenly beating the piss out of each other literally and verbally, and Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon of Blur became the unwitting writers of the biggest hockey arena anthem ever, despite the rest of their catalog sounding nothing like “Song 2” (which was a piss-take on the Pixies’ “Tame” anyway). But under the radar, Jarvis Cocker’s Pulp was releasing consistently fantastic albums.

We’re Coming Out…On That Dirty Boulevard (Again): Game 3 Roadwatch At Sheffield’s
Yeah, you might still be nursing a hangover from your Derby party — if people still have those. But a Sunday afternoon calls for beers and BBQ….and playoff hockey of course.
So we’ll be at Sheffield’s Sunday for Game 3 against the Wild. There’s going to be a few specials on Two Brothers and Lagunitas beer ($20 buckets of Outlaw, $4 pints of Lagunitas and Two Brothers.. maybe more), and I don’t see how you can resist that. With the game at 2, you can even time it to miss out on any Cubs pregame crowd, and scare the shit out of them when they return after that game!
Come on out, these have been a blast so far this year.

Beard Of The Day – May 2 – Gary Cole
If we’ve proven nothing else in now the fifth season of doing this idiotic bit, it’s that we clearly have a thing for obscure yet omnipresent character actors. And in the comedic realm, there really is no finer bit player than Chicagoan Gary Cole.
