Before I say anything, I want you all to know that I do not know everything about women and I do not judge every woman. I do know that there are two theories to arguing with a woman and neither of them work.  So don't judge me based on what I say about these girls. Having said that, here we go:

The Wolves swept a three-games-in-three-nights set last weekend for the first time since Dec. 27-29, 2010; Chicago, which has posted a 10-3-0-0 mark in its last 13 tilts after suffering through a season-long five-game winless streak from Nov. 27 to Dec. 9 (0-3-1-1), sits in second place in the Midwest Division with 42 points (19-12-1-3).

Chicago Wolves right wing Darren Haydar and defenseman Kevin Connauton, who were both named to the 2012 American Hockey League All-Star Team on Jan. 4, will be making an appearance at two Chicagoland libraries next week as part of the “Read to Succeed” program presented by Butternut Bread and Vista Health System.
