Nikolai HarveyBirdman’s return to the red sweater’s was just about what we expected from these two teams, except I didn’t realize he was sitting at 332 wins, meaning we were forced to listen to the “tree-turty-tree” nonsense before the game even started. The Hawks and the Isles traded the north and south game they both prefer to play. While the action swung from one end to the other with quick transitions and counterstrikes, it was clearly dominated by Chicago for much of the period. When the Hawks got on a roll, there seemed to be nothing the Isles could do but wait for the inevitable goal.

Counter Punch – Blues 3, Hawks 2
So much for any kind of streak to start this season. Rather than wait a month and a half until after the season starts, the Hawks walk away without a point for the first time after only 3 games this season, and on their first trip out of the United Center.

Angry At Numbers
Even though any statistician worth his or her salt would say that two games and an overtime frame is hardly enough of a SAMPLE SIZE to glean anything meaningful from, there still are some interesting nuggets to be found.

And So It Begins – '13-'14 Hawks Preview: The Elderly
Ok, quick announcement. I honestly thought up until last night that camp started today. And then it struck me as weird that I wasn’t seeing any tweets about South Bend, or about camps anywhere. Only then did I bother to actually look it up again. So it’s next week. Huh. Well what do you know?
So because I was all ready to work on an issue, there actually will be a Bears Preview (sorta) edition of The Indian tomorrow. Keep an eye out.
Right, more preview! More asbestos! More asbestos!
How will the team handle the elderly over a full season (Hossa, Rosival, handzus) – Mighty Mike D
