Tonight We're Gonna Rock It Tonight: Hawks 5 – Camucks 2
If you’ll allow me to carry out this metaphor another day, that is. While I’ve said the Hawks have resembled a Spinal Tap show lately, just one or two things going enough wrong to make the whole thing something of a joke, they’re still capable of having Derek Smalls hammer a bass line, David St. Hubbins belting out the lyrics and rhythm guitar, not have the drummer spontaneously combust, and Nigel Tufnel rejoin them on stage to shred a solo.
Ok, I’ve carried that out far enough.
I don’t know that the Hawks game was perfect tonight, but it certainly got better in the last 40 than it’s been for a while. Sure, in the 1st the Hawks were still stretchy-passy happy, but I feel like that calmed down in the 2nd and 3rd. But even in the 1st, the Hawks’ zip returned. They smothered puck-carriers and created turnovers and were quick with the puck and feet. That’s all it takes for the Hawks.
It’s late, let’s get to it.

Second Period Thread – Hawks at Canucks
In the darkness where the angels cry, give us water, give us back our eyes. Our bed’s this concrete floor, and it’s all we have left to live for. A day we’ll never face ,we’re only second-handed, sick, and lonely. Fighting back the tears and every urge to Van Gogh both our ears.

First Period Thread – Hawks at Canucks
In the shadows where the heads hang low, you hear voices as the wind blows. Asking “can’t you see?”, reminding you to breathe. It’s only time before it catches up to you and all your broken luck. I found a better way to get even with my memory.

The Truth Is Out There: Nucks Misconduct, Canucks ArmyWith last night’s OT loss to the hapless Flames in Cow Town, the Hawks are officially in the midst of their longest losing streak since the 9-game debacle that nearly completely derailed the 2011-2012 season. And while things aren’t nearly that dire yet, the Blues have already tied the Hawks for first in the Central and have games in hand, and the road trip prior to the Olympics takes a much sharper turn toward icky starting tonight with their old friends the Canucks. Though given the state of things in Vancouver of late, just how icky can be debated.

Pigs in Zen: Ad-ing Up the Points
The end of week 17 of the AHL schedule was packed for the IceHogs has they had to play three games in three nights—all against the Milwaukee Admirals. With Milwaukee having four games in-hand on the Hogs, it was very important for Rockford to grab the majority of—if not all of—the points at stake.
