Feb 14 2012 03:39 AM | TJD in From The Cheap Seats

You’ve probably heard this phrase uttered a million times in the last week or so when people are talking about the Hawks and their current 8 game losing skid. Hell, I’ve heard current players talk about this “We need to keep things simple”. Yet, if y...

Feb 11 2012 06:13 AM | PuckPowWow in Puck PowWow

Some thoughts on the Hawks, and last night's game: "It's tough to look at the bright side of things," Jonathan Toews said. "We played the way we had too, but we gave them too many opportunities on the power play. That's how the...

Feb 03 2012 05:11 PM | PuckPowWow in Puck PowWow

Who cares what the score was. Last night was kind of funny in some ways, and there are a few different vantage points to look at it from. We could chalk it off to something as simple as: The Hawks just can't win against the Oilers this year. We cou...
