That’s when I reach for my revolver.

Second Period Thread – Game 3 – Hawks at Bruins
A friend of mine once told me his one and only aim: to build a giant castle and live inside his name. Cry and whispers sing in muted pain.

First Period Thread – Game 3 – Hawks at Bruins
Once I had my heroes, once I had my dream. But all of that is changed now, they’ve turned things inside out. The truth is not that comfortable, no.

Feed The Tree: Cup of Chowder, Days of Y’OrrDating 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
The 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.

Beard Of The Day – June 16 – Paul Newman
Today marks a bit of uncharted territory for this feature, as the season has never gone long enough to actually reach Father’s Day (Thanks again Gary and Jeremy and Rocky and Donald and…). So it’s now a great honor to present Paul Newman, though very rarely spotted in the wild with facial hair as our Father’s Day beard.

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

Bruins At Blackhawks – Game 2 – Third Period Thread
Well I see a ’50’s apartment house
Bleak in the morning sun
But I still love the ’50’s
And I still love the old world -
Bruins At Blackhawks – Game 2 – Second Period Thread
Oh, I had a New York girlfriend
And she couldn’t understand how I could
Still love my parents and still love the old world
So I told her “I want to keep my place in the old world”
