So it’s been a long time since we rapped at ya. Plenty to cover, spanning far and wide. Enjoy.
A completely fucking banner 96 hours for Stan Born on Third. Bowman dug deep into his throbbing Krang’s-body brain to: 1. Cut his franchise goaltender with nary a negotiation. 2. Trade a solid top-6 LW for a defenseman whose greatest contribution to the sporting world tops out at “piques Vince McMahon’s interest.” 3. Piss off […]
The message to Corey and to everyone else today is that we’ve decided we have some young goaltenders here in Chicago we believe in. –Stan Bowman The indignities never cease. We all sort of knew it was coming, but it doesn’t make it hurt any less. The Hawks won’t be re-signing Corey Crawford. There are […]
Box Score Natural Stat Trick Or 3 to 1, whatever. What a perfect microcosm of what you could only loosely call any of the Hawks’s success this year. The team gets its doors blown entirely off the hinges, only to win on the back of their rafter-worthy best goaltender in team history. We are all […]
Box Score Natural Stat Trick It’s not quite a surprise, and it’s not quite a disappointment. But there’s a melancholy about this loss. It’s partly the fact that Vegas comfortably coasted like a vegetable-oil-powered hatchback downhill and still stifled the Hawks. It’s partly the fact no matter how you slice it, this defensive system sucks […]
vs Game Time: 9:30PM CDT TV/Radio: NBC Sports Chicago, NBCSN, SportsNet, WGN-AM 720 That Tiger Went Tiger: SinBin, Knights On Ice Well, it finally happened. The Hawks made it back to the playoffs. Yippee, yahoo, and such and such. All it took was a pandemic and its resultant and necessary return to play tournament against an opponent who […]
It was always going to shake out this way wasn’t it? In a year where the Hawks finally tried to fully supplant Corey Crawford in net with noted asswipe Robin Lehner, or at the very least cover themselves against more Crawford injuries, the Hawks were out of it by the deadline, and decided to get […]
Box Score Natural Stat Trick We are all vile disgusting creatures who do not, have never, and will never deserve Corey Crawford. — Matt McClure (@Matt_McClure_) August 8, 2020 – Just put his fucking number in the goddamn rafters already I don’t fucking care. As predicted, the series went through Crow. He stopped 43 of […]
vs Game Time: 5:45PM CDT TV/Radio: NBC Sports Chicago, NBCSN, SportsNet, WGN-AM 720 Potemkin City Limits: Copper n Blue, Oilers Nation It can never be said that the general public wasn’t warned about this. This series was always going to be frustrating, surrealist theater with members of each bench desperately trying to give games away, and by the time […]
It was sloppy. It was confusing. It was a total fucking rush. Warts and all, the Blackhawks are now a win away from advancing to the next round of the playoffs. I’m way too drunk to taste this chicken, so let’s rush through whatever it was we just saw. – As the Toews line goes, […]
