Goddamn it. The last two games I've had tickets to, I've had make myself a late scratch. Today it's because my asshole, soon to be ex-dog, bit someone in the park. Luckily, no blood and no lawsuit. Now we have to give her away. Should be a fun night.

Sorry to hear that, man.  That sucks.  What kind of dog is it?

She was a border collie/shepherd mix. We had to put her down last night. Bad times.

I'm so sorry, man.

Man, that's rough, sorry Slak.

Yeah it blows. She was great to us. Very loving. But when she was out in the world something just was off. She would sometimes snap and go after dogs and lately certain people. It's unfortunate but with a baby on the way, we didn't have a choice.

You should have trained it better.

That's beyond a dick thing to say.  Even for you.

I thought it was funny.

At the same time, my condolences to Slak.  I literally buried our black lab on my in-laws' farm a few years and it was a brutal ordeal.

Yeah, it's funny. I should do a lot of things. Bathing would be a good start.

Niemi eased my pain with his Finnish flair. Goddamn he was awesome last night.

Sorry to hear that Slak

Thanks for the kind words everyone who isn't Dick Chuggar.

Let's talk hockey.

Sorry about losing the dog that sucks.

On to hockey. It seems to me that this team is like the Bulls teams of the 90s, they're just waiting for the playoffs to start. Last night was a somewhat meaningful game and they responded with a nice effort.

I think the Hawks may have played up a little bit, but they also got Seabrook back, which is helpful.  I thought they generally played great last night, although there were still a few breakdowns, Hendry and Keith elicited a few Dammits, its still hold your breath time during the last minute of periods, and there were some bad penalities.  That said the PK was generally brilliant (a few times I am pretty sure the 'yotes didn't even get a shot on goal, and it regularly took them half the penality to even get set up past the blue line), and hopefully a couple of curb stomps of the Bluejackets can get their mojo back up.

Yeah, the one thing I'd still really like to see from the Hawks is a non-retarded power play.  They went 0 fer again last night, including another 5 on 3 that went nowhere.  I will say that Hossa has been effective from the point, and if they're going to play a forward at that spot, it should be him.

I know I'm late to the condolences party, but I'd also like to express sympathy about Slak's dog.  About a week ago, my sister informed me that she was going to have to put down one of my two German Shepherds that she is looking after while I am out here.  Wolfie was one of the nicest dogs ever.  Fritz, her brother, is sad now.

On to hockey, I just hope that the goaltender situation is settled.  Consistently moving Niemi to backup and then starter and then backup has to mess with his head.  Name him the starter, stick with it, and see what happens.

Also, how badly of a concussion did Seabrook suffer?

The fact that he was knocked out would not be a good sign, methinks.

Having sai thatd, and this may be premature splooge, but I wonder if the Seabs hit may have been some sort of twisted blessing.  It revealed Byfuglien to have more useful value than previously considered, and Seabs' absence demonstrated that even the guy who has been a bit off for the better part of the year is still better than the alternative.  Add to the fact that Biscuit seemed to play like his "old" (read:  2008/2009) self last night, and I think once the recently-acquired Yon Yonson comes back from his upper-body injury, the defensive depth would seem to be stable enough to absorb Campbell's absence for another 5 weeks.

Don't fall for it Huey.  Buff plays his best hockey when yanked out of his comfort zone.  He ramps it up everytime he's benched, or moved to another line.  Once he settles in again, he coasts.
