And So It Continues- Blackhawks 1, Red Wings 1 (Blackhawks win Skee-ball Competition 1-0)

Stop me if you heard this before: The Blackhawks and Red Wings played a Sunday matinee at Joe Louis Arena that ended in a shootout.

In the last four seasons, it seems like the two teams have engaged in roughly 33 games that followed the script from today.  One team controls the tempo, then the other team.  By the end of regulation, one of the teams scores a late goal to send the game to overtime and in the overtime, both teams have opportunities for the winner.

In other words, today’s game was no different than any of the previous years between the Hawks and Wings.  Except for that whole winning streak the Hawks have going.  So let’s get to it.

Blackhawks 3, Kings 2

You watched the game. You saw what happened.  Let’s get to it.

–The theme of this win comes down to the Hawks fourth line so that seems as good of a place to start.

Marcus Kruger is continuing to impress.  Kruger has definitely added lower body strength this season.  While he was getting pushed off the puck in the corners and along the wall his first couple seasons, it’s just not happening as much this season.  And the result is added time for him to make his patented nifty passes to open linemates.

Atop The Sugar Pile – 2/11

Yep, it’s back. And won’t this one be fun? Let’s kick this pig!

The Dizzying Highs

Samoans Do The Humpty Hump – There’s little I can add to what Patrick Kane is doing. There are few sights in hockey more exciting than when Kaner is feeling it and unafraid to try anything. Literally anything could happen. It’s complete anarchy. Spin-o-rama pass right on the tape through three defenders? Sure, why not? Dance two or three checkers into a fucking hole? Check. Egregious turnover in own zone? Might happen! Only Tomas Vanek’s insane game in Boston is keeping Kane from atop the charts in points and goals, and good for him for being honest about wanting to win the scoring title. Just like when Derrek Rose admitted he wanted to win MVP, and then went ahead and did it. They both know that if they accomplish these individual goals, it will be good for the team.

Well, We’re Waiting – The Committed Indian.com’s Season Preview: Q (And The Axe Over His Head)

The last one, and perhaps the biggest storyline and question the Hawks having going into this season. And with the shortened version of it, the axis has gotten completely tilted. Does the cramped schedule make Q unfireable? Did his margin of error just shrink? Is Jamie Kompon really the bag of broken hammers that Kings fans say he is? It’s going to be fun finding out. And by “fun” I mean “not at all.”

First, we’ve been sitting on this little nugget for a while, and we can finally share it with you.
