Dating back three years to the 2010 Final against Philadelphia, the Hawks have lost the first game away from the United Center in six straight series. Overall in that time frame, the Hawks have gone 7-10 on the road, and 3-4 this post season. And in order to win this series, the Hawks will now have to win at least one game on the road, with the first of potentially three games in Boston tonight.

Beard Of The Day – June 17th – Hank Scorpio

By Matthew Killion 1625 0

Hank_ScorpioThe Simpsons are absolutely stacked with amazing characters that come in for one quick episode then are never heard from ever again. Frank Grimes, Lyle Lanly, Rex Banner… I could go on. None of them quite compare with the (evil)genius that was Hank Scorpio. And certainly none had such a perfect beer. Perhaps the friendliest of any supervillians, Scorpio is always around for you if you need some sugar (Sorry it’s not in packages), a recommendation on where to buy hammocks and he’ll even stop by and say hello in the middle of his marathon. If you treat him well, he may even buy you the Denver Broncos.

Voiced by Albert Brooks (who does a ton of amazing work on The Simpsons… and just in general). Scorpio used Homer’s team of workers to help take over the east coast. The Hawks could use some of that power tonight as they fly out to Boston to try and get the series lead back.

My Heart Says No But My Head Says Stay: Bruins 2 – Hawks 1 OT (Series ties 1-1)

By Sam Fels 1288 0

Well, this isn’t any fun at all. And I think both sides would agree.

There’s so much on either side to indicate either just a shrugging this off as one game and the Hawks were always going to need to take on in the Hub, and also time to engender genuine worry. I guess what that means is that this series is exactly where most everyone thought it would. On a knife edge, between two so perfectly matched teams that barely an inch or a bounce will separate them. It isn’t going to be over any time soon, is it?

But there are warning signs. And now the Hawks face a true hornets’ nest waiting for them on Causeway St.

Well now, has everyone stocked up on caffeine and other crucial supplies? Ready for another 5 hour hockey game? No? Well me either. If there’s one thing to take away from Wednesday’s game, it’s that there aren’t going to be any easy victories for either team in this series. The Hawks started the game as the team looking like they had a message to send. I don’t think we’ve seen them be quite so physical right from the drop of the puck in a while. Everyone knows the Bruins are the bigger team with the nastier reputation, so the Hawks clearly wanted to send a message that they would not be intimidated. Interesting strategy…

Beard Of The Day – June 15 – Saul Berenson

By Matt McClure 1455 0

Epidode 206

When shit gets all serious and the details surrounding a conflict are so convoluted it takes a diagnosed manic-depressive to sort it all out on a giant corkboard, there are few men with the experience, gravitas, and perspective to address the situation properly. One such man is C.I.A. agent Saul Berenson and his tremendous and rabbinical beard.
