Hootenanny: Hockey Wilderness

Game 1 was far from perfect. There was yet another two goal lead that vanished and some glaring holes were once again visible. The Hawks are capable of pulling away from a team in a hurry (just watch whenever Kaner decides to freak the fuck out) but they’ve also shown they are more than willing to let other teams right back into games. I would be more concerned with this trait if it didn’t seem to be a league-wide thing this year. It seems every game has had its share of blown two-goal leads. Not sure of the reason for it but at least it makes for some pretty exciting, heart attack inducing hockey.

Perhaps the best known of all post-Impresionalist painters, Van Gogh was born in the Netherlands and quickly developed a love for drawing. He wouldn’t actually being to paint until his late 20’s. Once he began though, he became a prolific painter, producing more than a 2,000 pieces in just over a decade.

Like many artists, Van Gogh struggled mightily in life and at the time of his death, very few people were familiar with his work. His work was began was dark earth tones like in The Potato Eaters but a move to the south of France would influence him to use the bright vivid colors he would become best known for. Van Gogh also knew he had a pretty solid beard and would use himself for subject matter often.

Event Summary

I have no scientific research to back this up, but I don’t recall a team that ever took 6 games to wrap up a series then proceeded to have nearly a week off in the playoffs. But that’s what the Blackhawks were given after their arduous series with the St. Louis Blues. Coming into Friday’s Game 1, the tried and true narrative of Rust vs. Rest was on full display for all to see.

The conclusion drawn: Meh, who knows.

Everything Else

For all of the attention that Parliament/Funkadelic has justly gotten over their many decades of interplanetary funk, by and large, the most talented musician in the wide-spanning collective goes under recognized by the general public, with George Clinton and Bootsy Collins’ outsized personae getting most of the recognition. But it was the subdued genius of bearded guitarist Eddie Hazel that really made the music stand out.
