  • Five Man Acoustical Jam: Hawks at TB Diddler's Preview/Pregame Thread/Guitar Tuning

    Hawk Wrestler vs. still-of-david-bowie-in-the-prestige-(2006)-large-picture

    FACEOFF: 6:30pm

    TV/RADIO: CSN round here, NHLN-US not round here, WGN Radio 720

    FLASH BEFORE MY EYES: Raw Charge

    If the Hawks got to find their defensive feet, and overall game without Patrick Kane, against an offensive soft underbelly ready for tickling against the Panthers, they will swing wildly to the other end of the spectrum tonight. It’s also the second of a back-to-back and while in previous years the Hawks have excelled in this situation, this year they’ve been stunningly mediocre.

    Let's Get To The Bottom

    No, that’s not a plea to suddenly tank for Eichel or McDavid (I’m totally putting together a Seabrook & Sharp trade for that in June. HA!). But it’s probably time to try and dig a little deeper to see what is plaguing the Hawks of late.

    Before we go any farther, it’s important to note this isn’t anything we haven’t seen before. You only have to go back one year. On Jan. 1, 2014 the Hawks were 28-7-7. They went 6-3-7 to the corresponding date of today one year ago, and actually didn’t get too much better from there. They went 12-11-1 the rest of the way. That wasn’t the first time the Hawks roared through December and then kind of just floated through the rest of the season. They’re just not going to put an 82-game sprint together, even though that’s what they’re coach seems hellbent on wanting.

    But we’re here, and we’ve got nothing better to do.
