Fine, I’ll Do Your Job For You
While everyone associated with the Hawks was in a tizzy over Jonathan Toews’s injury and mourning the end of this season figuratively, another somewhat important story slipped through the cracks.
We all noticed, and so did the NBCSN broadcast (you think the CSN one would have?), that on Sunday night Michal Handzus basically didn’t play the second half of the game. He was on the bench, but we didn’t know if he was hurt or simply benched.
We now know that he was benched, though we had to pry that out.

Idiot Wind
I’m hesitant to do yet another post about the neanderthal way of thinking about hockey, because I feel that it would just add to the cacophony of idiocy we’ve already heard. And yet we can’t let it go away without addressing. I guess.
Here’s why people want some sort of “justice.” Because it was a name player. It was the Hawks’ best player. It was the Hawks’ most important player. It leaves a fan feeling raw. Why? Because no one else’s most important player went down like that last night. Or recently. Sidney Crosby takes hits all the time, he’s still playing. The Hawks had just lost Patrick Kane to a freak accident, basically. It feels unfair. You want to “set the world right” in some way after something that feels unfair.

Out Like A Lamb: Blackhawks 1 – Penguins 4
Box Score
Event Summary
Extra SkaterThe Blackhawks have already made the postseason – that much we know. They haven’t done themselves any favors the last few games but thanks to other teams dropping points as well, they’re at least guaranteed their 6th consecutive playoff season. So that’s something nice. All that’s left to do is wait and see just where they’ll fall in the seeding and find out how their first round opponent will be.
Oh… and figure out if Jonathan Toews will be part of this year’s postseason run.

Hawks at Penguins 3rd Period Thread
You told me baby you had time to kill
But then you tossed me out like an overdue bill
You left in a hurry with a guy from the band
On a one way ride to the promised land
