the Hawks lose again...ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-haaaa

they already have 6 regulation losses…..but every bandwagoner hawk fan will tell you, they are in first place…so don’t hate.

That will change soon.

Columbus is the last-place team in the division; they’re 3 points behind Chicago with 4 games in hand. St. Louis, Detroit, and Nashville are in even better situations.

Unless the Hawks are playing a 100-game schedule this year, the losses will come back to bite them.

yeah...Second hand hockey were talking about the power rankings today....

someone was trying to say, “it doesn’t matter, it’s ESPN” and someone else said, “actually, if you look at the earned point pct., the Blues really are the best….” followed by someone saying, “Halak has really made the blues a better team.” Everyone is starting to pay attention to what it going on in St. Louis.

It’s like the Blues made a sneak attack on the rest of the NHL. They acquired a goalie that could steal games on a regular basis, and they handed over the keys of the team to kids that had 2-3 years of being led by veterans. And….the team responded better than expected. It’s exciting and the number 1 rating in the power rankings is absolutely deserved.
