Of all the times I’ve skated free, you ask for things I cannot be. And I’ve read so many times before, and I see it all drop out the door. And I want it back right now.
Left all alone to bear your soul, and that feeling in your heart is low. I’ve hurt so many times this way, and I see us all but slip away. And I want it back right now.

Make It Eight: Five For Howling
Moving gradually eastward, the Blackhawks head into their penultimate stop on the Ice Show road trip, Jobing.Com Arena to take on the Coyotes. Due to the unrelenting will of the schedule as a result of the oh-so-brilliant-and-productive lockout, after tonight the Hawks will have played as many games in the desert as they have on West Madison.
The IceHogs had three games in Texas as week 17 stretched into the beginning of week 18. The first two games finished brutally as the Hogs set a franchise record for six consecutive losses, but finished on a high note with a big win in Cedar Park against the Stars.

In the wake of the most controversial aspect of last night’s game, Andrew Desjardin’s hit on Jamal Mayers and Duncan Keith’s subsequent response, I’d like to offer a long form dissenting opinion to Sam’s approval of the actions taken.

It’s been a while since it felt like the Hawks were playing a regular season game that was central to the hockey world. Saw a bunch of tweets and columns today from non-Sharks or Hawks affiliated people today. I don’t think anyone would say they were disappointed in the entertainment provided.
There really is no such thing as a “statement game.” It’s fun to think there is, and it feels better when you win one to think there is, but it’s kind of a myth. Who knows how we’ll regard this result in a month or two. But other than getting a win in San Jose for the first time in three seasons, beating your closest competitor, and now guaranteeing the minimum amount of points we all agreed was necessary for a successful road trip, we learned a couple things. Possibly. Though I wonder if any of them will be the overriding theme.
I wanna hear your very best excuse. I never felt this much alive.
Don’t you look so surprised. Happy Birthday, fucker.
