Thanks for Playing! – Our Team Sucks and Our Owner is a Clown, Too

By Summer Corson February 3, 2022

The Hawks continue to be physically incapable of not stepping in it, both on the ice and off. They’ve lost 6 of their last 7, essentially no-showing it against both the Canucks and Wild this week, finding themselves ahead of only the Coyotes in the Central Division—and it would be a stretch to even call […]

It Doesn’t Get Much Sicker Than This

By Summer Corson June 28, 2021

The Stanley Cup Final started tonight, but instead of watching it I turned my viewing attention toward the Cubs, as I’m known to do during the summer. I was excited to watch the culmination of the NHL season just a few short days ago, but in light of the articles and events that have come […]

Well things just got real interesting didn’t they? With one swift move, the entire Hawks organ-I-zation is in complete flux once again, and it’s started with the firing of team president John McDonough.

And Then There Were 2: Rocky Fires John McDonough

By John Pullega April 27, 2020

Well now. Despite the silent scream of COVID-19 keeping us all locked up, pissed off, and stir crazy, Rocky Wirtz made a stunning albeit welcome-around-these-parts move in firing longtime President and professional autofellatio guru John McDonough today. First, the good. McDonough was here for 13 years. He ushered in an era where Blackhawks fans could […]

Here’s a weekend update about the goings on with the Men of Four Feathers. – In an interview with Scott Powers, Rocky Wirtz said that there will be no front […]

Ocean Of Confusion

By Sam Fels November 28, 2018 0

Note: Yes, I realize I’m mixing my Screaming Trees references but just go with me on this, friend.  Babies, I like to pretend I know everything. Or at least enough where I can convince you I know what’s up with the Hawks. But I have to say the last few days have left me as […]

The Comfort Or Punishment Of Anonymity

By Sam Fels July 17, 2018 0

As the Hawks’ prospects continue to toil in the West Side heat, and I assume beg adults to buy them beer back at the hotel at night, I am left to wonder what could happen with the Hawks both on and off the ice when the season starts. And I wonder what the effect of […]

The More You Think About It, The More Joel Quenneville Is Doomed

By Sam Fels July 16, 2018 0

I know the folly of taking the Hawks at their word. Their pronouncements from on-high have gotten weirder and less sensical as the team’s fortunes have slipped, and even more so now that less and less people are paying any attention. This is an organization that still considers itself the cream of the NHL, and […]

The Folly Of Transparecy

By Sam Fels July 5, 2018 0

Friend of the program Jay Zawaski had some thoughts on Tuesday. This is a subject we discussed a lot last year, what was the Hawks real intent on the season versus what they told everyone it was and why there was a difference. Jay’s not wrong about anything he says here, and it is a […]
