Around SBN: Clippers Need To Realize That Spurs Are The Anti-Grizzlies

Here We Go!: Hawks v Panthers Preview

 

Images_medium  v Sex_panther_medium

Time:  11 AM CST
TV/Radio:  CSN, WIND 560
OPPOSITION BLOG:  Litter Box Cats

Feels good to write one of these again, have to admit.  Anyway, both Killion and McClure have adult responsibilities (no, not that kind of adult responsibilities, perv) in the morning, and there's utterly no chance I'll wake up in time to do this then, so I'll open our first preview/game thread tonight. 

Hockey in the AM, you gotta love it.  Just like being back in LA.  Anyway, the Hawks start the season after a so-so preseason filled with two many guys missing time here or there.  But, besides for Hossa, they come into this at full strength.  One thing to watch in the first few games is how Dave Bolland does as a pure #2 center.  Obviously, we won't know anything before December, when he gets either Sharp or Hossa on his wing.  But we should see if Weapon can create chances for others anyway in the early going, and whether he's getting into scoring areas himself.  We'll get an early indication if the Hawks have a 1-2 punch down the middle that can take us where we want to go.  We'll come back together at the end of the month and see how he's done.  And we'll have milk and cookies.  It'll be ace.

So not only do the Hawks have to open in across the pond (you have to love the NHL marketing juggernaut, trying to market the game in other countries when they can't even do so in this one), but they have to do it against a tricky Florida Panthers squad.  Yes, this team lost Jay Bouwmeester, but it's still a team that just barely missed a playoff berth, and retains every quick, skilled forward that got them there.  They replaced J-Bow with Denis Seidenberg, and while that won't result in a canyon drop off on the offensive end, it will on the defensive.  Perhaps that's where Jordan Leopold comes in.

This team has Stephen Weiss and Nathan Horton down the middle, which is nothing to be sneezed at, as well as David Booth on the top line.  There's also Chinese Fire Drill Bryan McCabe, who's wearing the "C" now, which means the Hawks will get a few scoring chances.  But you know that anyway, because Florida coach Peter DeBoer loves for his team to get get get up get g..ge...get down 911 is a joke in your tow....sorry, got off on the wrong thing there.

Anyway, it's time to drop the fucking puck.  3 of 4 points in the minimum we'd expect.  Make it so, Mr. Sulu....

Excellent preview, Sam. Just wish to point out that Horton is back on the wing (where he rightfully should be); the center thing was a deal made out of necessity last year following the “loss” of Olli Jokinen. Steve Reinprecht is the new second-liner.

You guys planning on sleeping tonight? Guessing there isn’t gonna be much here.

Wooo, first comment of the season!

New season, different state for me. I mentioned to people at work that hockey was starting, and all I got was blank stares. (san antonio, tx, BTW)
The game’s not showing up on our DirectTV center ice package thing yet, but hopefully it will be there in the morning so I can record it and watch it after work.

Not to be Debbie Downer but..

Aren’t Versus games balcked out on Direct TV’s Center Ice package? I’m pretty sure that’s the case. For your sake i hope it’s not btu that’s what i’m hearing.

Is it possible

With DTV and Comcast’s lovers spat, that they might lift the blackout for Versus games? I see that the CSN feed is not grayed out in my TV guide…

Please say that’s the case…

Hossa

When are we going to learn more specifics on his recovery progress and a more concrete timetable for his return? It has been suprisingly quiet on this front, which concerns me. John McDonough and Stan Bowman are slippery son of a bitches, so I will feel a WHOLE lot more comfortable on Hossa when I hear something more official regarding his return from the organ-I-zation.

Doctor-patient confidentiality?

In general it bothers me that people feel they are entitled to know what is going on with athletes’ injuries. I understand in the NFL it has something to do with betting on the games. I’m not excusing that, and I don’t agree with it, but it’s just my opinion and it won’t be used to change anything.

In all seriousness though, there’s no need to worry about some kind of McD-Bowman conspiracy to keep Hossa out of the lineup. They didn’t pay him all that money to keep him out longer than necessary. When he’s ready and able to come back, he’ll be there. He’s too good to keep off the ice any longer than we absolutely have to… 2009 SCF excluded.

From Sassone

“Quenneville sets his lines”

Thursday’s practice lines were:

Byfuglien-Toews-Kane
Sharp-Bolland-Versteeg
Ladd-Madden-Brouwer
Smolenak-Fraser-Kopecky.

That top line has the potential to do serious damage.

The question is...how many prime scoring opportunities

does Buff blow with his caveman hands before he’s taken off that line?

by Hungryhawk on Oct 2, 2009 10:24 AM CDT up reply actions  

Honestly

I’d almost like to see how Eager could perform on that top line instead of Buff. If you are going to throw the spot to a random player like Buff why not someone who last year showed some speed (like Buff’s fat ass can keep up with Daydream) and the occasional scoring flair. Besides the fact that Eager though having a penchant for the stupid penalty works his ass off when on the ice, and Buff phoned in 3/4 of the season last year.

Your 2009-2010 inaugural gametime video feed(s) and beer

Well, folks, it’s that time again. Unfortunately, for most of us, we’re at work right now and not able to watch the game or drink beer. However, fortunately unemployed bloggers out there, a lot of us will be living vicariously through you on this late Friday morning and early afternoon. It is your job—nay, your DUTY—comment as much as possible and drink as much beer as possible. Do not let us down.

I was also planning an overhaul of the format of this section for this season; that’s still in the works. I need to commission someone who is skilled with Illustrator (or similar program) to create a banner of some sorts for these posts. For now, you get the ol’ faithful text with a picture or two.

Feeds:
I apparently lack foresight, as one my usual feed sources are blocked by my school’s filter (yes, even teachers are subject to the filter, though it’s somewhat relaxed). I do have one feed, though: http://atdhe.net/9517/watch-florida-panthers-vs-chicago-blackhawks

As for the others, you can find them in the forums at http://www.myp2p.eu/

Beer:

Why? WHY THE HELL NOT? Okay, but really: it’s (relatively) cheap, it’s full of hoppy goodness, and its ABV is something like 8%. This is basically Sierra Nevada’s flagship Pale Ale with bigger balls—for the same price. What’s that? You need more reasons, you greedy little blog trolls? $9 for a sixer of a good imperial IPA isn’t enough for you? It’s called TORPEDO fer chrissakes. Here’s hoping the ’Hawks emulate the name of this beer on this brisk October morning.

Go Hawks!

Here...We...Go!

First game of the season and after the wonderful off-season and the beautiful pre-season (highlighted with a loss to the Zurich Lions) all I can say FINALLY!
The Panthers are young ,yet very good squad that missed out on the playoffs due to having less wins than the Habs, who played like they didn’t even want to be there. Odds are that this will be a playoff team this season, but key to their success will be Vokoun and the continued growth of their young forwards…all in all this will be a tough test for the Panthers should not be taken lightly.
Should be a great game and hopefully Huet can continue his success against the Panthers for in recent years he has dominated them that includes a ShutOut in Sunrise last season.
LET’S GO HAWKS!!!

In fact

I’m even more convinced, since kane was on the PK in the preseason, you know, just to know the flow of the PK so he would know where to break coming out of the box for the goal.

Are they still toying with the idea of making the nets bigger?

I really hope they don’t. If they want to increase the number of goals scored they should replace the goalies glove with another blocker and stick. At least it would be funny looking.
