Your Hawks need a win tonight, I'm just sayin'

Lookit, you walk down Michigan Avenue this morning, grab a coffee in the Loop, and the vibe is… well, it’s Chicago. We’re always ready for a fight, right? But with the Colorado Avalanche coming to da United Center tonight, there’s a couple two tree things in the air. People are talking about that win streak, yeah, but also kinda side-eyeing the standings. We’re in eighth, still hanging on by a thread, but nobody’s popping champagne on North Avenue just yet. It’s that anxious kinda confidence, ya know? Like you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop, but you’re still gonna bet on the Hawks to land a punch.

I heard some fellas at the 'L' stop near Wrigleyville talking about Bedard like he's gonna pull a hat trick every night. And yeah, he’s a phenom, but even a kid from North Van can't carry the whole dang team on his back against the Avs. There’s still that quiet grumble, that 'we’re better than this' kinda talk you hear when you’re grabbing a dog from Portillo's – no ketchup, obviously. We want the Blackhawks to be *the* Chicago Blackhawks, not just *a* Chicago Blackhawks. Tonight’s a big one, a real measuring stick.

From da Madhouse on Madison — this is Kozy. Let's go Hawks.

My pal Frankie and the gang are talkin' about this all morning – you gotta check 'em out live at mornings.live.
