when I looked over the schedule preseason I thought their first 5 games was going to be their toughest stretch. To be sitting at 2-2 (should be 3-1 . . . shoulda woulda coulda) with one more game to play in this stretch has got to be a good feeling for the team.
It is exciting, in and of itself, to be able to make a sentence mentioning the Hawks and not having to mention absolute futility.
