April 18, 2017: Panic Room
A horrible first two games, followed by an up and down game that didn’t go our way, leads us to the panic room. There’s nowhere else to go. It’s a place I didn’t think I’d see… at least for a … Continued
April 17, 2017: Our Eight Seed
We’ve spent the last few nights feeling really bad about the 8 seed that’s been taking it to our 1 seed in the NHL playoffs. Flip over to the NBA, and we have our eight seed taking on the one … Continued
April 16, 2017: Embarrassing
This is one word I don’t think I have ever used to describe a performance by our Chicago Blackhawks. I can’t really think of a better word to describe their play in Game 2, and how I felt watching it. … Continued
April 15, 2017: Backing In
