Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is – Blackhawks 2, Red Wings 1
Here we are again.
Sort of. For all the excitement that a new hockey season promises, the first preseason game really strikes home the fact that meaningful hockey will not be played for a long time. The Hawks and Red Wings participated in what was mostly a glorified practice with television cameras and referees included.
On to it.

Room For One More – Scum vs Hawks Pre Season Game 1 Preview, Game Thread, Reconnaisanse Mission
vs 
Game Time: 7:30PM Central
TV/Radio: CSN+ (ch 285 HD), no radio
Big Money Rustlas: WIIM, A2YIf the lines around the block from the United Center of weirdos and the unemployable yesterday afternoon and evening for a scrimmage weren’t indication enough, hockey is back. At least it kind of is as the slate of pre-season dry humps kicks off tonight against the visiting Wings.

Once More Unto The Breach – The Committed Indian’s Season Preview: What Can We Expect From Duncan Keith
It’s been clear to just about everyone who watches the Hawks that the team goes as Duncan Keith goes. He was the league’s best d-man in ’09-’10, and the Hawks won the Cup. He admittedly didn’t care all that much the following season, and the Hawks were much worse off. He struggled to regain that form the following season and the Hawks again went out in the first round. He’s been superlative the past two years, and the Hawks have played until June.
However, last year saw something of a change in role for Keith, who no longer took the top defensive assignments, which went to Ebenholts och Elfenben. That left Keith to beat up on lesser opponents, all the while dragging around Seabrook’s dead ass.

Training Camp Notes Extravaganza
With it now established that everyone has reported to camp in the best shape of their respective lives and that everyone has great chemistry, with no transaction yet to free up cap space, there was very little substance coming out of South Bend. But when has there ever been anything of worth coming out of South Bend?

2014-2015 Committed Indian Digital Subscriptions Now Open
You all have been asking, and I can finally provide you an answer. The doors are open for digital subscriptions to The Committed Indian game program today! Huzzah! Peas and carrots peas and carrots!
For those who might be new to our little game here, The CI is not just this blog full of drunken dick jokes and references to Replacements-influenced bands. No sir, we do a publication full of them too! We write one for every Hawks home game, and sell it outside the UC.
“But Sam,” you say, “I don’t go to that many games and I would really like to regularly read you cram yet another outdated Skid Row reference in about hockey!” Well, you can do that mon ami! Because you can get it online, PDF style. That’s where these subscriptions come in! Every afternoon before a Hawks home game you’ll get a download code for that night’s Indian. It’s a beautiful thing, I’m told.
And now the apology. Due to the changing structure of the business, and how season ticket holders attendance actually varies due to selling their seats, I have had to raise the price of this year’s subscription. It’s not about wanting to drink Old Overholt instead of well whiskey, but about survival. So this season’s cost is a cool, even $100. Again, sorry. I didn’t want to do this.
But enough apologies. Dive in, the water’s… not all that fetid. We’ll clean it after Killion gets out of the pool. Promise. Hit this button!
