vs. 

FACEOFF: 8:30pm Central

TV/RADIO: CSN, WGN Radio

DRAINAGE!!!!: The Copper N’ Blue, and some others maybe that haven’t actually been hired by the Oilers

WHERE YOU SHOULD WATCH IF IN TOWN: A.J. Hudson’s (3801 N. Ashland)

The Hawks will continue what is now their last place tour of the West, yes Virginia the Wild have slipped behind the Avs, and see the last place team in the other division which would be the kabuki theater for and by monkeys that is the Edmonton Oilers. And while I know these guys fly on charter jets and stay in five-star hotels and all that, a back-to-back in St. Paul and then Edmonton seems a bit over the top. So I wouldn’t be shocked if the Hawks’ legs just aren’t there tonight. Hell, they haven’t always been there when they’ve had optimum rest. But thankfully, you don’t have to be all there when playing the Oil.
