The IceHogs finished week 20 with two more Midwest Division games on the schedule. All four points mattered in these two contests as Rockford continues to make a late season push for the playoffs.

From Last Night's Indian – A Cinematic Represenation Of The Hawks Season
Maybe the Oscars got into me subconsciously. Or maybe I just wanted to have some fun with photoshop. Anyway, here’s last night’s Page 8, and I wanted to share it with you.

The Pyramid of Hockey Sensibilities
Click on image to enlarge
For those who may have missed it (get a subscription already), this ran in Sunday’s Indian.
This was inspired by Ron Swanson’s Pyramid of Greatness, the classic Rules of Rock (and Rules For Audiences of Rock) from Buddyhead, and a seemingly never-ending avalanche of shit on Twitter in the wake of the several incidents involving the Hawks and THE CODE, with people oh-so-politely questioning what exactly I’m looking for a hockey team to be. So here it is in handy infographic format for future reference.

Most Peculiar Mama: Oilers 2 – Hawks 3 (OT)
Hockey can be such a strange game. At no point tonight did I feel like the Hawks were out of control or in danger. And yet it took a reviewed goal and overtime to glean the two points from what felt like a pretty overmatched Edmonton team. Maybe I saw it all wrong. But I don’t think I did.
To be fair, the Hawks did some of the things you can’t do against the Oil. They had a stumble on the power play, which let them in on a counter (also didn’t help that Shaw completely fell asleep on Petry there). They gave EdMo unnecessary looks on the PP, which led to a Yakupove goal (though it was off a broken pass, and was about the only time I notice good ol’ Yaks).
And without getting out of 3rd gear, the Hawks found their way back, and found their way to two points. It seems like they’re just always doing whatever to get the two points. So I guess I won’t bitch about that.
