Week 26 of the AHL schedule featured the IceHogs playing three games in three nights over the weekend. The IceHogs needed to win at least two of their three games, especially with the three contests all being against Midwest Division teams.

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.

If you’ll allow me to veer away from hockey for a moment, our first issue this season of The Ivy Drip is now out. And I’ll let you have it for free, because I’m good like that. Try it out, and if you like it sign up for the rest of the season.

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.

You left in a hurry with a guy from the band

Two darlings of the midseason that have started to cough and wheeze (well, “started” isn’t correct but you get it) meet up tonight near the confluence of the Monongahela River and the Allegheny that form the Ohio River (I’ve watched far too much baseball in my life). While the reasons for the loss of titan status for both, they’ll recognize the struggles of each other.
