    When The Walls Come Down – Hawks 1, Jackets 1 (Hawks Win Duke Nukem 3D)

    Tonight’s game in Columbus is a textbook example of why it’s perfectly acceptable to have ties in the NHL. Both teams had stretches of carrying the play, and both looked sloppy at times and were bailed out by timely goaltending, that is until the sideshow used to decide the contest.

  • Hawks at Jackets 3rd Period Thread

    You don’t own the green pines
    So be careful where you lean
    And when you’re lost under the blue sky
    Look down and you’ll find me

    You don’t own the green pines,
    The blue sky, or the smoke
    You don’t own the dust in your
    Big brown eyes when you keep them closed

    You don’t own the road boy
    Better kick up a storm
    You don’t own the big city lights
    Better cop out your own

    It’s rare that three days off in a hockey season seems like we were all thrown into the hole, but that’s what this season has brought. After losing their first two games of the season, partly due to exhaustion, the Hawks embark on a pretty lax two-week trip that contains only four games. But if they’re not careful, the games themselves will be anything but lax.

  • Kiddie Pool

    Kiddie Pool

    It’s a whole theme today, as we look throughout the organization to see how the kids are doing.

    Let’s not waste anytime. Over to crown jewel (I think) Phillip Danault, who’s been on fire since being traded to the much superior Moncton from his hometown Victoriavile Tigres. In 25 games with Moncton, Danault is 9-26-35. The assists are encouraging. If Danault is going to make the big jump next season (and it’s 50-50 whether he can or not from what I can tell), he’s going to have to be something of a playmaker on the 2nd line with Bolland returning to his checking role. Or maybe on the 4th. I don’t know. Whatever, it’s all a rich tapestry. Let’s say the Hawks would be stronger if he can.

    Pigs In Zen: 4 More Points In The Bag

    With the end of the season creeping closer and closer, the IceHogs found themselves in a 3-games-in-3-nights situation in week 22 of the AHL schedule. In order to stay close in the playoff race, the Hogs needed to take at least 4 of the 6 possible points–and they did just that.
