No Rest For The Weary: Blackhawks @ Predators Game Preview
Chicago Blackhawks at Nashville Predators, Oct 15, 2009 7:00 PM CDT
@
Game Time: 7:00 Central
TV/Radio: CSN/WGN 720
Opposition Blogs: On The Forecheck, Preds On The Glass, The View From 111
Don't Forget: Your SPG Picks
First all - a big Fuck You to the official blackhawks team page. All the flash, cold fusion and flux capacitors on their page crashed Firefox for me just as I wrapped up my preview and for some reason the autosave feature here didn't kick in for any thing other than the header up top of here. So lets just assume the rest of this preview is as awesome as what I originally wrote because I'm probably not going to put as much effort into it as I originally did. Onward...
Almost overnight, the Central Division has become arguably the best division in the NHL. After years of getting the snot kicked out of them by the Red Wings, the other four teams are pretty damn strong. The Blues, Hawks, and Jackets are all threatening to make noise... the Predators.. well.. not them so much. Now this isn't to say the Hawks are facing an easy two points. Last year the Hawks went 3-2-1 against the Preds but if you asked me before I looked up that record, I wouldn't have been shocked if you told me the Preds won the series straight. The Predators always seem to play tough against the Hawks and though there isn't much a rivalry here - I still think I kinda hate the Predators... or maybe I just hate any team that employs Jordan Tootoo (he's out for tonight's game by the way).
This year the Predators started off well enough, winning their first two games. The last three games though haven't been too kind. Over the last three games the Preds have been out scored 13-1, including the last two games where both Dan Ellis and Pekka Rinne have been driven from the ice. Remember how bad we all felt during the first 12 minutes of that Calgary game? Imagine if the last two games had been that bad..
The Predators can't be this bad for much longer right? They've got to improve eventually? Are they licking their chops at the idea of facing Cristobal Huet? I probably would be. There are two other reasons the Predators may play with an extra edge to their game. First up is the celebration of former-Hawk Steve Sullivan's Masterton Trophy and second is the return of J.P. Dumont. He played only 7 minutes in the season opener before going down with an injury but still managed to grab his first assist. The team can't get much lower... so watch out for them to try to start hot in front of their home crowd.
As for the Hawks - I'm guessing (and praying) that Huet gets the start tonight. If he doesn't, then I guess we really do have a full blown goalie controversy on our hands. I still haven't heard anything about Bolland either - so if you have then let us all know in the comments. I wouldn't be surprised to see him get the night off just to be on the safe side.
That's about all I got - I strongly urge you to go read Dirk's great preview for the game to get a better feel on the numbers for these teams. Things look good for another two points but lets hope the Hawks don't act like they're guarenteed. The wrap for today will probably be delayed as all three of us are out of commission during game time and will be catching the game on tape delay.
Lets Go Hawks

Niemi's In, As Reported Elsewhere
Tonight’s game (intradivision on the road in a good division) will be the first of many of its ilk, the sorta game that can toughen a team for the post-season.
Subpar goaltending in these games means cliffhanger or worse.
Very happy with a “dirty 2” points, even 1 is ok.
Can’t wait!
no way Niemi starts tonight
I guess I should never say “no way”, but seriously no way.

Huet
I haven’t seen anywhere that says Niemi is in tonight. Most speculate Huet is in. Got a reference cliffkoroll?
Q said...
Yesterday that it was Niemi at home last night and Huet on the road tonight. He said that was the plan for back-to-backs. He wanted to give Niemi the start in front of the home fans is how he phrased it. I’m guessing it was to PROTECT Huet from the home fans…
Why isn't Jack Skille replacing Toews?
We’re getting no production out of our supposed ‘star’ player. The team seems to play more confident when Skille’s on the ice, anyways.

aside from Tootoo
another Pred I can’t fucking stand is Dan Hamhuis … fucking knee hunter. Anyway, nothing more to say other than “go forth and destroy, Blackhawks.”
Lineup...
Got a tweet that said the Fabulous Weapon is playing tonight. No confirmation on starting keeper though..
Evil will always triumph against good, because good is dumb.
Coach Q says
he “should play” tonight. Expect the lineup to be the same as we’ve seen lately…
Evil will always triumph against good, because good is dumb.
Tennessee, Tennessee...Take me to another place.
There are 3 games in which I dread all season long and all 3 contain the Hawks in Nashville. From the video induced crowd noise to the “Hey…You Suck!” college football slander it all just make me want to vomit. Not to mention that the Hawks seem to find a way to play some of their worst hockey in the Country Music City to go along with the worst goal song ever “I Like it, I Love it, I want so more of it” which Hawks fans actually can reflect on and think it could be worse than the Chelsea dagger.
With that said it is customary that as a divisional opponent we must go there 3 times a year so why not get one of them out of the way early on. The Predators are playing some spectacular offensive hockey with an amazing 6 goals for in 5 games. Enter J.P. Dumont who should help boost the Predators attack as well as Sullivan for it’s almost certain that they will score against their former club, the Hawks. Who will be the contortionists of the cotton meshes? Does it really matter given how the two have played? Love Ellis’ line last night as he took the loss while recording 0 saves, but not laughing considering that Huet is still on the payroll.
And now on to everybody’s favourite punch-line Cristobal Huet. Huet should get the start and better have a rebound performance tonight for all the love the Hawks have given him over the summer will be completely vanished if he falters tonight. Make no mistake the organization cannot be too thrilled that only 6 games into the season they have been already forced to treat Huet as a hot-potato and put on the oven mitts and protect him from the Huet vs. Khabibulin game last night, instead forced to opt to Niemi (who had a grand total of 6 appearances going in) just so the confidence of their supposed #1 netminder wouldn’t dwindle even more. Pretty lame if you ask me, but I called it. Tonight is his time to take back the reigns and show that he can indeed drive the bus, something he has yet to do since his arrival last season, for if he doesn’t well…chances are he doesn’t start Saturday or at all next week which then begs the question what is the point of having a $5.6 million back-up? As Quenneville put it (on TSN) ’we’re evaluating the position’ which is not a ringing endorsement for Huet.
Hopefully the hockey Gods finally shine on Toews and finally ends this October goalless drought and Kane and Byfuglien continue to shine. Tonight might also be the night Brouwer gets one for it seems everyone and anyone has had no trouble putting the puck in back of the net against either Ellis or Rinne.
LET’S GO HAWKS!!!
It's never about the eventual destination, but rather the long journey and its challenging obstacles that are presented and what it takes to overcome them, that makes the taste of success all the more worthwhile!!!
What's the Preds goal song again?
‘Achy Breaky Heart’? Oh, ‘I Like It I Love It’, right?
Yeah, we might use Chelsea Dagger to some fans’ chagrin, but remember it could always be worse.

The only way that I am jealous of that inbred nest of fandom is that they got Colin Wilson, whom I wanted the ’Hawks to get in the ’08 draft. Instead we got Beach, who is like Sean Avery but without the self-control and maturity.

Vince Young, how do you feel about the Preds loss

Solid game from Huet too.
Only goal that went in was flukey. All in all a good, solid game from Huet, which is all we need from him this season.

Hawks win!!!
It wasn’t the most entertaining game but it’s 2 points nonetheless. Huet was very good tonight and looked confident and that’s a plus going forward.
It's never about the eventual destination, but rather the long journey and its challenging obstacles that are presented and what it takes to overcome them, that makes the taste of success all the more worthwhile!!!
Solid game defensively and from the goaltending
Could use a few more like tonight’s performance, keep it up!
Lets Go Hawks!
Player of the game...

You know what
First star = just about everybody. Apart from Hammer’s skate, this was a dominant performance on the road. Good job, all.

Just what we needed
This is the kind of start we had to have (due to the really really imbalanced schedule of home/road games) and I was pretty sure we wouldn’t get. Great job by Q and all the Hawks. It feels like a team we are going to love.
And it looks from here like the Huet-hating room is slightly less crowded this evening.
I'm not so impressed
I really think they could have done better.
I just want to see a full 60 minutes out of them one of these games. I think that would be tremendoulustastic.
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
