Just one more game left in the regular season. Who else is ready for games to hold some meaning again?
Good, me too. Now for some totally random and incoherent observations.

Obey The Cowgod: Flames Nation
Tonight will be one of the more unique experiences on West Madison in recent vintage. Aside from the game having literally zero meaning between the long-since eliminated Flames and the home-ice holding Hawks, the game will also like be the final display of one of the marquee-named, if not great goalies of the last decade.

Well, it wasn’t exactly as locked in and authoritative as it could have been. But it didn’t have to be, and they certainly aroused more passion tonight than they did Monday. Against the Oilers, it barely takes a whisper of a care to win, and the Hawks managed that… at least after the first 10 minutes where this looked like a kindergarten class that got into the Jolt Cola. Yes, Jolt Cola. I know some of you drank it once upon a time.
The one big difference was the Hawks were far more engaged tonight in front of their own net than they were on Monday. The rest of the ice? Eh, comme ci comme ca. But in front of both goalies, they were determined to tie up sticks and knock over bodies. Hence, the Oil never really sniffed much.
Let’s get the bullets out of the way then so we can all move on to Friday:

I guess when the Oilers brass are drawing up this reconstruction plan that the Oil have been in for as long as you’d get sentenced for assaulting a cop, they look at the Hawks and try and convince themselves that’s what they’re trying to create. After all, back in the spring of 2008 it looked like the two teams were in the same place.
Except the Hawks bothered to draft and develop actual defensemen and their forwards maxed out. Details, details.
