vs. RECORDS: Hawks 26-24-8   Jets 29-25-5 PUCK DROP: 7:30pm TV: NBCSN Chicago SEARCHING FOR AN AIRPORT: Jets Nation In the brilliant scheduling genius of the NHL, the Hawks will spend a second consecutive Sunday in Winnipeg, after having to bus in from Calgary last night because y’know, there’s no airport in Winnipeg. Once again, as […]

Game #59 – Hawks vs. Jets (Again) Spotlight: How To Fall Upwards

By Sam Fels February 16, 2020 0

Friends, you’ve probably been frustrated at some point watching some moron you work with get a promotion you were sure you were more qualified for, or even just a promotion you know they had no business getting. Or perhaps you just watch things in society and wonder how someone you’re sure can’t tie their shoes […]

Game #59 – Hawks vs. Jets (Again): Hedley Lamarr’s Nitwits, Halfwits, And Dimwits

By Sam Fels February 16, 2020 0

Patrik Laine – All jokes about how he looks like he’d ask you three questions to let you cross his bridge, the Jets have bent over backwards for this guy in recent years and he’s pretty much just been a floater. They listened to him bitch incessantly last year about playing on the second line. So […]

Game #55: Hawks 2, Jets 5 – Despite There Being No Airport in Winnipeg, The Blackhawks Crashed

By Adam Hess February 9, 2020 0

Box Score Natural Stat Trick You guys, I’m telling you, I keep trying not to be too cynical/skeptical about this Blackhawks team. I keep wanting their little runs of success to be legitimate, wanting Coach Cool Youth Pastor’s system to finally be effective, wanting the blue line to overperform their on-paper skill, wanting Erik Gustafsson […]

There’s no logical reason that instead of spending consecutive Sundays in Winnipeg, with having to swing out to […]

Game #55 – Hawks vs Jets Spotlight: Ehlers Choice

By Sam Fels February 9, 2020 0

We’ve perhaps, although maybe this is just our tendency to toot our own horn, led the charge on labeling Patrik Laine a passenger on the Jets. This will be the third straight season, likely, that he won’t live up to that 44-goal campaign he had. They’ve bent their team around him, they’ve given him a […]

Game #50 – Jets 2, Hawks 5:

By Sam Fels January 19, 2020 0

Box Score Natural Stat Trick Funny, on a night when the Hawks finally defeated a direct competitor for the playoffs, it won’t even grab the headlines. And maybe that’s the way they want it. They’ll have to do it more than a few more times between here and April, but every journey begins with one […]

Game #50 – Jets vs. Hawks Spotlight: Atlas Hellebuyck

By Sam Fels January 19, 2020 0

We will also accept the name “Suspenders” Hellebuyck, as he’s the only thing keeping the Jets from getting pantsed most nights. You wouldn’t think a team would miss Dustin Byfuglien defensively, if at all. Generally not having to commit 20 minutes a night to a player who kind of wandered around the ice like he […]

Even worse, it needs even less those three games to be against teams at the top […]
