Everything old is new again in a hockey centric episode. Your listenership is valued.
This one as anticipated started out unpleasant but gradually made its way to our usual lunacy. Sky Point Bryan St. Pere.

Dammit Pantera, This Beer Is Warm: Defending Big D
As hard as it is to believe, this series in Dallas will mark the halfway point of this abbreviated campaign for the Hawks, as it’s both zipped right by and felt interminable somehow simultaneously. They’ll face a Stars team that itself is adrift and had better get things straightened out in a hurry given the onslaught of makeup games they now face after both covid and Texan disasters in the past two months.

Sky Point Riley Gale: Defending Big D
This past fall or summer or whatever (time has no meaning anymore), the Stars nearly set the hockey world back 20 years by boring-ing their way to the Cup Final only to be fodder for the eventual and inevitable champion Lightning, with interim coach and NHL lifer Rick Bowness largely keeping Jim Montgomery’s desolate and exhausting defensive system in place which clearly belied Montgomery’s personal life. But that run earned Bowness a Magic Training Camp of his own, and after being the first of now countless covid breakouts across the league, the Stars have somehow turned into a pinball machine of scoring.
Well, hockey is upon us, whether it’s a good idea or not. And who better to discuss these matters with during These Unprecedented Times than our erstwhile comrade Andrew Cieslak. This one ran a bit long, because it was just Guys Being Dudes for a bit, but enjoy. All pertinent links after the jump.
Sam, John Pullega, and myself discuss the draft aftermath (draftermath?) and looming free agency. As always, no subscription is necessary.

The Great Southern Trendkill: Defending Big D
Now that the pomp and circumstance of the Winter Classic is behind everyone, the Hawks can get back to the matter of actually pursuing titles that matter, such as the division, conference, and engravings in sterling silver. That begins tonight with the Stars visiting the snowy west side for their second of three trips this season.
