Oh right, there’s a hockey team in town. Did you remember that? I think I forgot somewhere along there. That’s why this preview is so delayed. Things are moving slowly in the lab today. Give us this one, won’t you? Anyway, the Hawks help us begin the transition into winter officially now, and good thing because they’re on a streak.
