Around SBN: Will Rhymes 'Fine' After Being Hit By Pitch And Fainting

Tonight, Tonight: Wherein We Try to Frighten Mighty Black Hawk With Our Jet Technology

I like lasers.



Jets vs Blackhawks coverage

Enemy Blog - Second City Hockey

It's probably not going to work; for one, because the Sauk are well aware of jets, for two because the Blackhawks have met and defeated some of the toughest teams in the NHL over the last couple of years.  Our best opportunity might be from a bad game out of Corey Crawford, as the rest of the team doesn't seem to have a lot of weaknesses.  UPDATE: Apparently it's going to be Ray Emery tonight.  We certainly are the kind of team that can score, but our biggest challenge is to avoid the embarrassing mistakes we were making in the opener (*cough* *cough* Oduya *cough*).

New Player Nickname: Chris "Thor" Thorburn

What You Should Do if You're Going to the Game: Wear winter gloves.  Don't take them off to do anything.

Prediction: Patrick Kane looks like a child that wanders into the middle of a movie (NSFW) at the centre position.  Buff consumes him, then regurgitates him into Kyle Wellwood's mouth.  The indigestion sidelines both, at which point the 'Hawks take advantage.  4 to 1 Blackhawks, but hey we got the last Kane standing.

Kane practiced with Scheifele and Wellwood again yesterday. So we’ll see at game time.

In Canada our balls are bigger

They look really good together.

They made a good tandem in the preseason and were effective in the opener.

Maybe they are getting ready to roll Kane out on a couple lines after coach made his point.

If they play together better hope the Maclean-Scheifele-Wellwood line isn’t out against the top 2 Chicago lines very often.

Crawford was questionable

But supposedly he was supposed to be okay by today

Emery in improved our odds slightly.

We’ll probably lose, but I want to see more disciplined and responsible play from our guys tonight.

Word

We need to stop pinching at the blue line, for starters…our D was giving up 2-on-1s all night last time.
