Imo’s Pizza Is Fucking Terrible: St. Louis Game Time
After two and a half weeks camped out on West Madison, the Blackhawks will once again take their traveling circus, white sweaters in tow, on the road. That particular road tonight is about 350 miles of I-55 down to the glorified outdoor flea market of St. Louis.

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.

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.
We’re coming out again. You know what that means.
Kick off your weekend early this Thursday night by joining up upstairs at Bottom Lounge for what is shaping up to be a pretty massive Hawks-Blues tilt. Bottom Lounge is at 1375 w. Lake, and the new Morgan St. stop on the Pink line won’t leave you very far from it at all. So knock off work and head on over to get ready to watch the Hawks topple the humanized boogers that are the Blues (credit to Slaky for that one).
Oh, and the pinball is free on Thursdays at BL, so your intermission entertainment is also taken care of.
