As the late, great Cozmo Kramer told the Maestro when they were playing pool with musical batons in George Costanza’s childhood bedroom, “You know where it’s going.”

Nothing Else Matters: Blackhawks 5 – Lightning 6 (OT)
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?

Schiano Men: Raw ChargeThe next stop for the Hawks on the Floridian Moms’ trip brings the Hawks to the St. Petersburg Times Forum Arena Thing Place for the first time in two years, but will already close out the season series with the Ning before the month of October comes to a close. And the Hawks will be looking to avenge one of their two shootout losses, with the hope that things fare better than when they tried to avenge a regulation loss against St. Louis last week.

Pigs In Zen: Hogs Shine in 4 Games in 6 Days
The end of week 3 and the beginning of week 4 featured a total of 4 games for the IceHogs with 3 of them coming on the road. For a young team like the IceHogs, it was crucial to sustain momentum throughout the 6 days that the games were spread out over. They did just that as they took 7 out of the possible 8 points that were up for grabs.

Where Have All The Good (3rd Period) Times Gone? Or Have They?
Last night added to the theme that the Hawks are having serious 3rd period woes. They once again coughed up a two-goal lead to a team they shouldn’t be coughing up a two-goal lead too, and needed the shootout to bail them out again. Some have begun to really worry, while some have brushed it off as just October kinks and natural hiccups as the Hawks slowly move through the gears early in the year. But I wanted to go through these so-called collapses and see if we can’t get to the nuts and bolts and find out if it’s a trend or something more unlucky or detailed than that.
Let’s throw out the opener against the Caps, as that was more due to the lethal Washington power play (which is looking more and more like the only time they care). Essentially, we’re talking about home to Tampa, at St. Louis, at Carolina, and last night. Now, four games doesn’t really signal a trend totally, but it’s what we’ve got.
