The Once And Future Bloggers: Jewels From The Crown, Battle of California, The Royal HalfOh, hello again everyone. You recovered from Saturday’s festivities? Got some good brunch in you? Maybe a Bloody Mary? Good. It’s just about time for some afternoon hockey then.
This afternoon the Blackhawks face the reigning Champions for the second time this season. I’m sure we all remember how the first match up went but just in case you need a reminder, it was pretty damn awesome for the men of four feathers and their fans.

Cleaned And Gutted: Sharks 1 – Hawks 4
You know how I get. It’s not the blowouts or the last second wins that get me excited about the long term prospects of this team. Though I do enjoy the exhilaration of those, or the immediate release of jubilation, it’s the games where you exhibit a superiority that portend to what you might do in the future. At least in my eyes it is.
Tonight was one of those nights. Though the Sharks are probably no longer a conference power, they are not a conference also-ran either. And the Hawks simply outclassed them tonight. Out. Classed. It’s a term we haven’t been able to use very much the past two seasons, if at all. But outclassing means that at no point did you think San Jose could get the best of the Hawks with everything being equal. Every time the Hawks threw out a line or unit, it was better than what they faced. And tonight, it was.
Sure, this Sharks team is in a tailspin, but they never looked a threat. And the Hawks coasted. Let’s see why.

Del Davis Tree Farm: Fear The Fin, Battle of CaliforniaWhat a difference a week can make. Last Tuesday in this same space, much was made of the Hawks visiting the Sharks and it being a milepost for both teams 10 games into a 48 game campaign. After the Hawks emerged on top on what was a raucous affair, the clubs have very divergent trajectories.

Legs Feed The Wolf
With some things starting to stagnate in the last couple weeks in spite of the ongoing points streak, it’s time once again to turn a critical eye to some on-ice issues.
