Since not much has changed since the last time we convened and we can only beat so many topics to death, we cover what are apparently declining television ratings for the local squad, as well as how they stack up against another very much hated franchise in another sport. Eventually we get to some reader questions as well. Give it a listen after the jump.
In this post All Star edition, all four of us are back in the fold, and here to discuss anything but what happened during the weekend, as none of us watched a second of it. There was brief discussion of the useless Top 100 list, as well as more extended league-wide deadline talk, and some interesting reader questions at the end. Listen after the jump.
On this week’s edition, John makes his triumphant return while Cieslak is doing god knows what in Vegas. We discuss the Hawks recent goaltending NON-troversy, as well as Artemi Panarin channeling Kris Versteeg and we eventually get around to what the hell is afflicting tonight’s opponent, the visiting ‘Ning, and what it’s symptomatic of league wide. Grab a listen after the jump.
Despite not having John present and the season being all but over after this past weekend, the other three of us still manage to absolutely beat to death a couple of our favorite subjects: Why is Jonathan Toews bad now, and why is Trevor van Riemsdyk bad always. Usual procurement means after the jump.
After a break for the holidays, we return with an extended edition of the podcast, since it’s been about 3 weeks since all four of us had last convened. A bevy of topics are covered, with even more time spent shitting on Bruce Boudreau’s big dumb bald head than usual. Grab it after the jump.
With the gang all home for the holidays, the Hawks’ recent streak is discussed along with some of the roster flexibility that they may need further down the line. Now let’s all put on our earmuffs and belt out some Christmas carols together.
In this latest installment, we somehow manage to gripe and carp for nearly an hour about how boring this team is without either Jonathan Toews or Corey Crawford. Also, using our four combined medical degrees and various residencies at places like the Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins, we determine that back injuries are probably not good. And that neither is Trevor van Reimsdyk. Audio after the jump.
With the final Circus Trip in the books, the back end of it is dissected as the Hawks spend a healthy portion of December at home, tonight’s guests the Panthers are discussed at length, and a new segment, “Get The Hell Out Of My Playoffs” (with apologies to Dan Bernstein and the Score’s afternoon show) is introduced. Links after the jump.
While this installment had minimal technical difficulties, that’s more than can be said for the Hawks last night. And now that that’s behind everyone, Sam, Slak, and I look ahead to the annual (and possibly last) Black Wednesday tilt in San Jose against the Sharks with old friend Derek, formerly of Fear the Fin. Links after the jump.
In the immediate moments preceding whatever Hawks/Flames was last night, Sam and Slak try to contain their Cubs Fever while all of us wonder when the PK will improve and when anything is going to begin to matter. Get a taste.
