OPPOSITION BLOG: Battle of California again!
DON’T FORGET: YOUR SPG PICKS (Only 1 more person needed to catch the Leafs!)
I don't blame you if you've forgotten the last time the Hawks played the Kings. It followed a great start to a road trip.. 3 straight wins on the road. Then a tough loss in San Jose where the game was lost in OT and Khabby went out for a few games. The next game against the Ducks was a tough 1-0 loss where things couldn't get going.
Then the Kings stomped on a slow, sloppy and uninspired Chicago team for a 5-2 victory. It was one of the uglier games they Hawks have played this year. The Hawks came back from an early Kings goal to take a 2-1 lead into the second. They went into the third with the game tied.. then completely shat the bed in the final frame.
Since that game though, the Kings have gone 9-11-4, they're barely above .500 on the season and they're near the bottom on goals per game. This should be the easiest of the Hawks 3 games in Cali, but then again, the games against St. Louis should have been easy too.
The Hawks looked rusty last night but they'll hopefully have found their legs for tonight. The Kings have scored 11 goals in the past two games (so based on last night's logic the Kings will score -3.5 goals tonight to meet their average of 2.5 g/g).
Both of these teams played last night and both of them were close games so fatigue should be a factor for each bench (UPDATE: I'm a moron... this is the first game the Kings will have played since the break). If the Hawks played the same game they did last night, they should win. Getting the first 2 points of the trip was great, getting the first 4 is huge.
Lets Go Hawks

Love the Bruce reference
I hope we can keep up the excellent goaltending. I’d like to see a few more goals tonight and a little more time spent on the right side of the ice. What’s our record need to be on this road trip to consider it a success/a strong start to the 2nd half?
Can’t wait to see Springsteen on Sunday.
Let's get moving here, I heard 930 start time
not 945

Don't know why I didn't think of this earlier

Oh for God's sake
Giving up shorties now in addition to PP goals.
"Carlos Quentin? Where's Hamilton?"
"I ate him."
Kings fans are morons..
you shouldn’t cheer just because your team cleared it after letting the Hawks dominate a shift.
Hey Hawks
How about winning a faceoff at some point in this game?
"Carlos Quentin? Where's Hamilton?"
"I ate him."
Are you going to say that every time he has a bad game?
Where are you on the nights he has shutouts? Honestly, you epitomize the uneducated fan when you chime in with your standard “Huet sucks” comment every time he has a bad game.
They eeked out a win they didn't deserve
last night, after entering the All Star break with a couple of pathetic losses.
They’re getting killed by the effing Kings again tonight.
This team is as off as that Real World tranny’s ‘vagina’.
Can't get a puck by this Quick kid
This is like when the White Sox make a AAA pitcher look like Cy Young.
"Carlos Quentin? Where's Hamilton?"
"I ate him."
This game is just...
UGH. That’s the only word I can think of. UGH.
"Carlos Quentin? Where's Hamilton?"
"I ate him."
Starting to run out of time
The Hawks better score fast if they want a chance at this game
"Carlos Quentin? Where's Hamilton?"
"I ate him."
Game over
Bleh.
Debate: Which team’s goal song is worse? I know that a lot of people don’t like the Hawks’ song, but personally I find that “I luuuuv LA” thing to be nauseating.
"Carlos Quentin? Where's Hamilton?"
"I ate him."
Congratulations to Brian Campbell
for having 2 A and still managing a -1 for the night. I didn’t see most of the game, but can someone give me details as to how bad his defense was?
Also, after someone mentioning faceoffs last game
I quickly glanced at the box score:
Stoll: 15-2 (88.2 fucking percent; that’s a great goddamn free throw percentage)
Handzus: 13-7
and our guys…
Bolland: 5-10
Fraser: 1-5
and the best one, Burish: 1-7
(Toews was 8-9, which isn’t bad, but he can’t take every faceoff)
