Tonight shaped up as a pretty good test for the Hawks. There is no hotter team in the league than Tampa, and they are considered an Eastern favorite (Eastern Favorite is an excellent Pho place in Uptown). They have as much speed as the Hawks can boast, and a Vezina finalist in net. Considering how the Hawks had done against this season’s glitterati (hint: not all that well), even though there are no such things as big games in the second week of November you did want to see the Hawks get this one. They did, and looked pretty damn good doing it.

October Surprise, Or Lack Thereof
The first month of the season is in the books–well, it’s the first three weeks but with the Hawks having played all the games in October they’re going to it just makes it cleaner to do this now. We haven’t learned all that much about the Hawks this month that we didn’t already know. They’re a very good team, they have a couple roster holes that they still haven’t really cleared up, and the power play gets a lot of chances but doesn’t finish as often as anyone would like, like a drunk male model.
So, what have we seen this month?

Most Peculiar Mama: Flames 2 – Hawks 1 (OT)
Well, that was strange. Seems like the Hawks have this game once or twice a year, where they put up a pornagraphic number of shots but don’t break through, give up a sucker punch, scramble to tie it, and then lose in OT or a shootout (or sometimes they don’t even tie it) I guess it’s good they got this one out of the way early?
