Despite going .500 in week 21 of the AHL schedule, the IceHogs still find themselves in the thick of the playoff hunt, thanks in part to the six game winning streak that they put together. Unfortunately, that streak was snapped on Saturday night.

Shiftless When Idle – Hawks 5, Wild 3
For the more neurotic among us, every passing game (and victory), brings yet another opportunity for this absurd streak to come to its end. The laws of probability are not on the Hawks’ side anymore, leaving many steeling themselves for the inevitable. Tonight was not that night however, despite some efforts to do so.

Wild At Blackhawks – Third Period Thread
Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight
Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude
Getting a cab and travelling on buses
Reading the graffiti about slashed seat affairs
That’s entertainment, that’s entertainment -
Wild At Blackhawks – Second Period Thread
A smash of glass and a rumble of boots
An electric train and a ripped up phone booth
Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat
Lights going out and a kick in the balls -
Wild At Blackhawks – First Period Thread
A police car and a screaming siren
A pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete
A baby wailing and stray dog howling
The screech of brakes and lamp light blinking -
Lost In A Snowdrift: Wild At Blackhawks – Preview/Pre-Game Thread/President's Day Sale
@ 
Game Time: 7:30PM Central
TV/Radio: CSN, WGN-AM 720
Bear? Wolf? River? Trees? Sun?: Hockey WildernessThe Wild come into this game with a feather in their cap that few others can make so far this season. They’ve taken two points from the Chicago Blackhawks. Sure, they had to do it via the skills competition but at this point, I would imagine most teams would consider that a pretty decent bragging point. We’ll have to get used to seeing these new North Stars since they’ll be division mates coming up next year. It could get interesting, seeing as how the two fan bases already have a healthy history of mutual dislike stemming back from before the North Stars became just the Stars. At least more of a rivalry than the Hawks have with the Avs anyway…
The Wild stumbled out of the gate a bit after making a big splash in the off-season but seem to have found their footing as of late as they’re now sitting just two points behind Northwest leading Vancouver and are 6-3-1 in their last 10. Of course, that’s one against the Oilers, two against the Flames and one against the Flames. I’m only impressed by the win against the Wings, seeing as how we’ve seen how much they can actually play when they feel like it.
