BEYOND THE WALL: Hockey Wilderness

Ah, the old divisional back-to-back. Back before a lot of you became fans (no judgement, honestly), this used to be a staple of the hockey season. In the late 80’s and early 90’s, it felt like the Hawks and Leafs did this on Saturday and Sunday nights at least 15 times a season. That’s why those Norris Division games turned into such bar brawls, because these guys got so sick of each other. Not sure we’re there yet with the Wild.

Everything Else

I’m going to attempt this at this hour because I basically want to have nothing to do tomorrow. I think it’s apt, because a lot of Hawks played the game tonight in the same fashion. I find it funny that Joel Quenneville bitched so much about the effort against St. Louis, when tonight is a game he could completely lose it over and I really wouldn’t have a problem with it. Let’s see if we can’t suss it out.

Frustrated, Incorporated: Hockey Wilderness

With a three point Florida swing now in the books, the Hawks will return home for only their third divisional game so far this season. Tonight it comes in the form of new divisional opponent Minnesota, who some may or may not remember as being the first stop on a nice little tour last summer.

Everything Else

Oh hey. Looks like this thing is working again. I guess we might as well talk about the unexpected goal extravaganza we witnessed last night, yeah?

With 11 goals scored – I’m going to skip the usual breakdown of the periods. Last time the Hawks played the Bolts, it was a goalie battle as the Hawks outshot the Lightning by around 74 but Bishop was able to stand on his head and only let two past him. This time the Hawks were able to solve him… even his own team found a way to slip one past him. A disappointing loss, maybe, but it’s still a point on the road. Whatever. The game was such a weird affair that our picture service didn’t even bother to cover it.

Let’s just get to the bullets, shall we?
