Second Period Thread – Avalanche vs Hawks
War-games in the Third World on the street outside of your house. What are you willing to pay for security and privilege? There’s no shelter for stray dogs; we used to be pets now we’re just beggars.

First Period Thread – Avalanche vs Hawks
Nine years and fifty days held hostage by pirates. Sold down the coast, don’t try to fight the currents. For those who can afford it, there’ll always be white sand on private beaches.

Day Of The Deadringers – Avalanche at Hawks Preview, Pregame Thread, Software License Update
vs 
Game Time: 7:00PM Central
TV/Radio: CSN, WGN-AM 720
The Stickiest of the Icky: Mile High HockeyAs difficult as it may be to compute, the Hawks tonight will play game 49 tonight of the 2013-2014 season, now surpassing last year’s abbreviated campaign, still four days shy of a year from when that season started . They’re currently only 7 points off their record pace of last year (though Friday’s guests the Ducks are only 2 back), though it feels like it’s been a a bit bumpier ride so far. But with a full 82 on the docket on this go-around, longevity will once again be rewarded, which is something the visiting and upstart Avalanche are beginning to deal with themselves.

What Is Eddie O's Agenda?
Today I’d like to move discussion off-ice, as we haven’t done that in a while. If you’ve read this blog for more than a day, you know that we like to have our fun and take our shots at the Hawks’ broadcast. At least the television side of it, as the radio broadcast really couldn’t be more top-notch. Though I haven’t sampled a large array of radio play-by-play men, I can’t imagine there could be anyone better than John Wiedeman. Troy Murray has become a very astute analyst after a rocky start to his broadcasting career, and host Judd Sirott is as passionate as they get (and if you can hear him talk off-air, you’d know exactly what I mean. I’m still scarred from a rant he went on in front of me when I was about 13 on Adam Creighton).
But the TV broadcast has entered the bewildering zone.

Bastard from a Basket: Blackhawks 5, Oilers 3
Pretty much your run-of-the mill game that featured a goalie taking two minor penalties and an own goal. NBD. The Hawks completed the season sweep of a dreadful Oilers team which is certainly an improvement over the last couple years that saw the Hawks struggle with a dreadful Oilers team. So that is good. If it weren’t for the Hawks own goal, this game would have been a far bigger runaway than it actually was. Nevertheless, two points is two points and they haven’t been as abundant in January. So that is good anyway you slice it.

Third Period Thread – Oilers vs Hawks
My heart got kicked out of all its homes. And dying young just didn’t work so I guess I’m dying old. And there ain’t nowhere left to go, ’cause all my loves would rather be alone.
