I’ve got beak for weeks.

Caw! We’re back with another round of Hawk Talk! Greetings and ‘gurgitations from the upper third of this oak tree, where I’m waiting patiently for Sunday hockey so I can fly down and snatch your toupee! Yeah, it’s pretty convincing, but my eyesight’s keener than all you hockey wackos and besides, I’ve got the better angle. You can learn a lot about the tops of heads from up here, and many other curiosities besides, if you pay attention. For example, did you know:
- That’s not a blocker on Mike T.’s arm, it’s just a giant graham cracker…?
- Dr. Ruth is still alive, and makes a pretty good living picking up your beer cans…?
- Camden the dog is actually a naked mole rat…?
- Sam N. and Zach N. are actually the same person—you were just too drunk to realize…?
- Backwards baseball hat guys are 68% more likely to shoot and never pass…? (more…)
Week 18 Previews – Part 1
Thursday, August 16th, 2018Tompkins Square Riots at What the Puck – 12:30 pm, EAST
by Izzy
The Riots are not to be overlooked as they have impressive wins this season against the powerhouse Cobra Kai and surging Dark Rainbows. Despite last week’s hiccup this is the time of year when News Hour Mac’s rebellious burgundy brutes crank it up a notch or four. Plus, league underrated, but team appreciated, Kevin on defense has one of the most destructive inbound shots.
The Pucks can’t afford to be careless with Mega right on their heels.
We’re not sure which Pucks team is going to show up this Sunday. And no, we don’t mean what line combinations they’ll come up with out of their 20+ players. What we do mean is that the latest scuttlebutt coming out their clubhouse is that Susie and the gang are already looking forward to Hockey Beach next weekend. (And who can blame them?) With Mega Touch right on their heels for the Division 4 crown they better refocus and smell the salts for this divisional clash with the Riots.
Prediction: game goes to a shootout with Margot being the hero for the Riots, 3-2. (more…)
