  • Blackhawks At Kings – Third Period Thread

    Kid, you’re under fire, your life is coming down to the wire. Baby, you’ll take the captain’s hand, carry a ship through burning sands. Cradle your rifle like a man.

  • Blackhawks At Kings – Second Period Thread

    Momma’s not okay, she lights a candle for every day that you’re away. Today could be the one she burns the motherfucker down, the final act of grace in a pointless endless race.

  • Blackhawks At Kings – First Period Thread

    Kid, don’t lose your cool. It’s still too soon to have to choose a brighter doom. It’s hard to believe but I can see how there could be so little left to lose.

    Still Suffering Stanley Cup Hangovers: The Royal Half/Jewels From The Crown

    First things first – If you aren’t coming to Sheffield’s with us for the season opener… you’re blowing it and everything bad that may happen throughout the course of this season will likely be your fault. So get it together and come lose your mind with us.

    Now that that’s out of the way… let’s talk some hockey. The last time we saw anything hockey related, we were watching captain Dustin Brown and the rest of the Kings skate the Stanley Cup around Los Angeles ice for the first time in franchise history. Then everything went black.

    Well, We’re Waiting – The Committed Indian.com’s Season Preview: Q (And The Axe Over His Head)

    The last one, and perhaps the biggest storyline and question the Hawks having going into this season. And with the shortened version of it, the axis has gotten completely tilted. Does the cramped schedule make Q unfireable? Did his margin of error just shrink? Is Jamie Kompon really the bag of broken hammers that Kings fans say he is? It’s going to be fun finding out. And by “fun” I mean “not at all.”

    First, we’ve been sitting on this little nugget for a while, and we can finally share it with you.

    Well, We’re Waiting – 2013 Season Preview – Special Teams

    Moving on from the spotty goaltending, we now meander into the real minefield, the Blackhawks’ special teams. Feel free to interpret the word “special” however you deem fit. In a shortened season with minimal lead in time, special teams figure to loom large over every team’s proceedings, and the Hawks will be no exception. So shield your eyes, and let us gaze at the macabre.

    Well, We're Waiting – The Committed Indian.com's Season Preview: The Goalies (Duck!)

    Saving the best for last, eh? Obviously, nothing is going to get the stomach acids and tension headaches going more for Hawks fans than thinking about the goaltending situation. It was the biggest question heading out of last season and it still is heading into this one (and make no mistake, Martin Fucking Brodeur would have solved exactly nothing about it). A lot of you have already chalked this one as the Hawks downfall this season. I won’t say you’re wrong. But I’m not sure I’m there yet.

    Ok, put your waders on. This is not going to be clean.
