Blackhawks Power-Play Woes Continue in 3-2 Loss To Panthers

The Chicago Blackhawks fall 3-2 to the Florida Panthers, extending their slump to three straight losses and eight of their first 11 games (3-8-0).

New Day Rising (Asinwreck’s Offseason Plan)

PREAMBLE $130 million? Really, Jerry? You’re getting revenue from postseason games, higher TV ratings despite a dreadful play-by-play announcer, and more sales in Japan due to actually spending a little to get Munetaka Murakami? We’re not doing that, you cheap bastard.
