Atop The Sugar Pile – 1/20: Top Top, Top Of The Pops

By Sam Fels January 20, 2020 0

The Dizzying Highs The Top Line: We don’t usually split this but what’re you gonna do? It’s hard to talk about Jonathan Toews without Domink Kubalik, considering they piled up 15 points and eight goals in just four games together. Toews especially has been delirious, with 42 points in 39 games. That doesn’t mean his […]

Atop The Sugar Pile – 12/30: So Closes The Decade

By Sam Fels December 30, 2019 0

Maybe I’ll do more on this tomorrow, but it’s funny that you’re getting all the decade retrospectives now about the Hawks, and in reality they only had like, half a decade. The Penguins have had a whole decade. You could argue the Caps have too, though with less silverware. But the Hawks ruled the first […]

Atop The Sugar Pile – 12/9: Get To The Working Overtime Part

By Sam Fels December 9, 2019 0

Three overtime games this week as the Hawks ended up with five of six points that somehow doesn’t feel as good as it should? Anyway, who did what this week? The Dizzying Highs Top Cat – Scored in all three games this past week, so it makes him a pretty easy choice. And two of them […]

Atop The Sugar Pile – 12/3: Your True Face

By Sam Fels December 3, 2019 0

The Dizzying Highs Brandon Saad – It would be easy to put Patrick Kane here, thanks to his point-streak, but I don’t do easy. But Saad is the only forward I notice every night, and I know I’m not alone. He scored against Dallas in their only win the past week, and got the opener shorthanded […]

Atop The Sugar Pile – 11/25: Not Much Of A Pile

By Sam Fels November 25, 2019 0

Not easy to do this when they biff all three games in the week, but hey, our is not to reason why… The Dizzying Highs Patrick Kane – It’s not really all that different for him, but when the Hawks score five goals all week and he sets up four of them, this is going to […]

Atop The Sugar Pile – 11/11

By Sam Fels November 11, 2019 0

The Dizzying Highs The Goalies – I suppose you’re slightly ahead of being a total moron when you can admit what you don’t know and take appropriate steps. You’ll never convince us the Hawks have any sort of plan to the past couple seasons or this one. And yet there probably was some humility in thinking […]

Atop The Sugar Pile 11/4 – How Are Things On The West Coast?

By Sam Fels November 4, 2019 0

The Dizzying Highs Robin Lehner – This might be a touch weird to put a goalie who merely went 1-1 over the week here, and even the good “1” was an OT win against an unimpressive Ducks squad. But Lehner stopped 84 of 89 shots he saw in two games…let’s let that marinate for a moment…and […]

Atop The Sugar Pile – Week #1

By Sam Fels October 15, 2019 0

Ok, so it was the second week but the Hawks only played one game in the first week so it’s the first week of the Sugar Pile and fuck you. That’s how we do things around here. The Dizzying Highs David Kampf – While Marcus Kruger‘s rep was at least a little tarnished by his years […]

Atop The Sugar Pile – The Hounds Of Justice

By Sam Fels March 19, 2019 0

The Dizzying Highs Brendan Perlini – Get on with your bad self, son. Perlini posted his first career hat-trick, then added tallies in Toronto and Montreal. Perls still has a little work to do to top last year’s 17 goals in Arizona, so before we go all gaga we should understand he’s done this kind of […]

Atop The Sugar Pile – Diamonds And Perls

By Sam Fels March 12, 2019 0

Still doing it. Let’s get through it. The Dizzying Highs Brendan Perlini – Four goals in three games will get you here. Sure, his charge and stretch for a hat trick last night with three seconds left was downright comedic, but hat tricks are special and he’s hardly the first or last (and how many tantrums […]
