While we have been busy with Mikey getting hurt and Tyler Seguin pouring it on and James Neal scoring daily, the Blackhawks are the #1 team in the NHL with 25 points (11-4-3).

Tazer was the NHL’s Third Star for last week, with two 2-goal games to help the Hawks win three in a row.  Jon has a team-leading 9 goals plus 6 assists on the season.

Here’s Jon talking about the 4-1 in over Calgary [link] and 6-3 over Edmonton [link].  How does no one mention the giant orange microphone?  It looks like a sneaker and it’s practically up his nose.  At least he smiles (eventually) – I almost fell asleep listening to that deep voice spouting sports cliches.

And just in time for the holidays, this perfect gift for (me) all your friends (me).  They should come as a 2-pack or buy-one-get-one or something.  And Kaner should have a mullet.

Now get to it and vote Tazer for the All-Star Game.  Maybe he’ll get picked really late in the draft again and we can make fun of him for daysever.

Not this again.
