Top Cheese, Left Coast and Detoilet Style

Normally, this is a place STRICTLY reserved for Blackhawks news, but, because it's the ramblings of a lunatic, I feel the urge to stray from current Blackhawks news to FORMER Blackhawks news. There are two notable subjects that deserve some attention, and who better to unleash...

Hawks go Pirri on the Potulny

Brandon Pirri and Ryan Potulny The Blackhawks made two pretty tame signings in the last two weeks, inking prospect Brandon Pirri and former Edmonton center Ryan Potulny to contracts. Normally, these signings aren’t really blips on the radar, but it’s slow in the Hockey world...
