Event Summary

War On Ice

I’ve provided the usual stat pages, but this one doesn’t need much analyzing. I feel it would be somewhat callous to blame the Hawks simply not being at the races in the 1st period on everything they’ve been through the past few days, but I don’t think it’s incorrect either. Considering there’s a three day break after this one, and teams rarely get three days off during an NHL season–the All-Star break is pretty much it–combined with the emotional roller coaster of the past four days, the Hawks can be forgiven for just coughing up a hairball tonight. Especially when you have their record over the past month, which is 13-3-1. That’ll do.

In what has to be some kind of record, the Hawks will now face their fourth Canadian opponent in their last five home games, and the lone outlier in that set is Minnesota which is basically Canada anyway. Perhaps the schedule makers felt generous in giving United Center crowds bonus anthems in the Spirit of Christmas, with tonight’s game bringing the Winnipeg Jets into town.

THEIR CITY WAS GONE: Jackets Cannon

If Captain Fred were here… BLUE JACKETS!

The Hawks make their one trip to Ohio this season to take on the Blue Jackets this evening. Or to put it better, what’s left of the Blue Jackets. Because no one is carrying the injury list that the Jackets are at the moment. It kind of looks like the scene in Gone With The Wind out there.

With the annual Circus Trip now in the rearview mirror, the Hawks will get a brief two games back on West Madison before heading out east for another four game trip. And there will be no respite in coming off of two victories against Pacific contenders in the forms of the Ducks and Kings, as the Hawks face a Blues squad in their usual December slot just ahead of the Hawks in the Central Division standings.

Tuesday Notes And Stuffs: Falling Out Of The Truck And Tripping Over The Dog

A couple things to clean up on this practice day before another big game tomorrow.

-So Corey Crawford isn’t going to play tomorrow due to something called an “off-ice” injury. Which could be anything. What’s curious is if it’s off-ice was it during team activity? And if not was it doing something he should be disciplined for, a la Josh Harding? Of course, we’ll never find this out because the Hawks aren’t talking. If they won’t tell you what an injury is when it happens during the game they’re certainly not going to tell you if it happens away from it.
