As the Hawks make their way to Hollywood, one thing the film industry is aware of is that any film or television show that gets produced is only as good as its premise and its story. And there were few authors as prolific and talented to write stories that have translated so well to either screen as the bearded late Elmore Leonard, who died in 2013.

Well that was a weird one. I’m trying to think of another playoff game that the Hawks had in their pocket so clearly and then just let it slip out in such fashion. Game 3 and 4 against Detroit last year, especially Game 4, weren’t as bad as they looked. But they don’t measure up. Game 2 against Boston last year where the Hawks absolutely horsed the Bruins in the 1st period but only emerged with a one-goal lead came to mind. But the Hawks watched that one get turned over on them from the start of the 2nd on. Can’t really come up with one.
Still, as good as the Hawks were for the first 38 minutes–and it may be as good as they’ve been this entire spring–two goals is still in that bloop-and-a-blast range. Well, the Kings got two bloops and two blasts, and the Hawks find themselves tied in a series they really should have by the balls. Part of the reason they don’t is the stubborn and insipid decisions their coach keeps on making.
Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
Life is the crummiest book I ever read. There isn’t a hook, just a lot of cheap shots, pictures to shock, and characters an amateur would never dream up.
A febrile shocking violent smack and the children are hoping for a heart attack. Tonight the windows are watching, the streets all conspire, and the lamppost can’t stop crying.

While the common perception was that the Hawks were outplayed on Sunday afternoon despite having a far longer layoff than the put-upon Kings coming fresh off their exhausting 6-2 carpet bombing of the Ducks in Game 7 of the previous series, it doesn’t change the fact that the Hawks have a 1-0 series lead. Though given that this iteration of the Kings has already erased 3-2 and 3-0 series deficits this post-season alone, it remains up for debate just how much that will matter in the grand scheme of things.

Look. I’m not going to sit here and tell you I know a lot about Gustav Klimt. My mother always told me that when I was in college, I should take a class on art history. I didn’t listen to her. I do know that I saw posters of “The Kiss” in just about all of my female friends’ dorm rooms though. Klimt liked painting women a lot and who can blame him? He also had about 14 children, so he obviously liked everything about the ladies. He also rocked a solid beard. And that’s all that really matters.
