Blackhawks: Corey Crawford out of action with appendicitis

December 3, 2016 | Kevin

Bad News Hawks fan, the Crow is down.

Crawford got sick following the Hawks recent loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, and was taken to a hospital.  “Corey presented this morning with acute appendicitis. He is undergoing an appendectomy today at a Philadelphia hospital. We are anticipating a full recovery and return to play. We will provide details regarding the timeline of his return after we have more information about the surgery.” said team physician Dr. Michael Terry in a post on the Hawks official website.

Currently there is no announced timetable for his return. The ever-reliable Scott Darling will take the goalie duties as the Hawks continue to lead the Western division in the NHL.

This may seem bad for Crawford and the Hawks considering that Johnathan Toews is also dealing with a back injury as well. At least this Crawford injury is not similar to the one he endured in 2014 at a Rise Against show at the House of Blues, that one scared us during that playoff run remember?

Get well soon, Corey! GO HAWKS!

Awesome posts from Night 1 / Nights We Stole Christmas #TNWSC

December 2, 2016 | Kevin

Night 1 of the Nights We Stole Christmas was glorious, spectacular, and other praising adjectives that I can not muster at the moment. It felt like every few minutes music-related happiness was being spread on stage, in the crowd, in the line outside, and we got to see a lot of it shared on social media over the past 24 hours. Here is taste of the joy that is stealing the holidays with us.

Great News in the War on Scalping

December 1, 2016 | Lou

Starting in February, the state of New York will consider the use of “ticket bots” as a misdemeanor. Which means major fines and possible jail time for any scalpers caught using them. Bots are one of the biggest reasons show you want to buy tickets for will sell out in seconds and give you virtually no chance of actually getting a ticket without going through the secondary market.

Consequence of Sound has more on this HERE.

COS also did this documentary that digs into the whole scalping world and shows you how it really works. And explains exactly what a “bot” is, too.

Welcome To The Christmas Parade Mashup

November 29, 2016 | Lou

You’re going to hear “All I Want for Christmas is You” roughly 100 times before the holidays are over. Even if you try to avoid it. Oneboredjeu Mashup took it to another level of on YouTube. They decide to mashup Mariah Carey with My Chemical Romance.
Just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should. If you want to give it a listen. it’s below. But, remember you can’t un-hear it.

Don’t say you weren’t warned.
