Thirsty Thursday With Second City Hockey

by McClure on Nov 4, 2009 9:33 PM CST Comment 23 comments

Because it's been nearly a week since the Blackhawks had a game, I know everyone's overly anxious to watch them play again. Additionally, because it's a Thursday night, it's the start of the weekend, if we're all being totally honest with ourselves. So given those two facts, we, the triumvirate of derelicts that run Second City Hockey, would like to cordially invite you to join us at the Whirlaway Lounge in Logan Square to view Thursday night's game against Phoenix Coyotes/Hamilton Crackberries. Anyone who made it out last year to the Whirlaway during the playoff run can tell you what an exceptional establishment friends of the blog Sergio and Maria run, and bless them for continually tolerating three ne'er-do-wells such as us. The proprietors of HockeeNight, Blackhawk Up and Indian Head Nation will be in attendance along with their constituencies as well, so don't make us look bad by having a piss poor following in comparison- we do enough of that on our own already. A good time is guaranteed to be had by all.

The Whirlaway Lounge is located at 3224 W. Fullerton Ave. in Logan Square, on the northwest corner of Kedzie and Fullerton avenues, and the game starts at 8:00PM. Hope to see all of your gorgeous faces there. Please forgive the late notice of this as well, as we were waiting to make sure that there wouldn't be a conflict with game 7 of the World Series Thursday night.

If I could be there, I would!

And don’t take this the (cheap) wrong way – I’m 1400 miles afar. I love that you guys do this shit – when I finally make the pilgrimage, the first round’s on me. I sincerely mean that.

When I make the 4116 mile trip

The third round is on me…………

Wow, when Hungryhawk posted his 1400 mile distance I thought that was a long, long way. But 4116 miles? Yikes!
Can anyone beat 4116?

Just promise me one thing

o’ triumvirate of derelicts…that you come up with at least a few derogatory names/descriptions for the building in which the Coyotes/Crackberries call home…the JOBING.COM ARENA…while at the Whirlaway. And if you could please share in the wrap the following day…I will consider it an early Christmas present.

Or if you already perhaps have some gems to share for the preview, that would be most excellent as well. Thank you.

Isn't having ".com" in your arena's name bad enough?

Not if it's the Freeones.com Arena

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a goddamn shame.

Mom's birthdays

are a good reason. She carried you in her (belly?) for like 3 weeks I think. It’s really the least you could do.

be sure to get there on time. You don’t want to miss seeing Owen Pallet & his violin fed through a loop sampler.

i took your advice and it was very well worth it

by Canseco's Roid Party on Nov 6, 2009 11:43 AM CST up reply actions

I live right down the street too – I’m in there a lot to watch road games. You should stop by anytime

…they’re still playing baseball…?

by WirtzGMnomore on Nov 5, 2009 11:05 AM CST reply actions

not anymore!

woohoo!

by chiblackhawks on Nov 5, 2009 11:29 AM CST up reply actions

I kind of wish baseball was still going on just so a certain team wouldn’t have won, but I’m glad it’s over so I can just think about hockey tonight…I paid more attention to watching the Coyotes-Avs game online last night anyway…

interesting

Thanks for the link, I hadn’t realized they were in that much trouble. I’m planning a day trip to that arena this season, hopefully for a Hawks game. I’m guessing the attendance is better than Phoenix’s, though…

Bail us out when we're in trouble.

But never see the profits when we fix shit.

Whirlaway is cool

and despite it being practically in my neighborhood, I haven’t been in years. I would have loved to see this in person, since my brother lives in Phoenix, but I was there too recently to afford another trip. I hope to make it to the .com arena before my brother moves in a few months; of course it’s likely the Coyotes will move soon after that…
