Ambulance vs. Ambulance - Predators vs. Hawks - Preview and Gameday Thread
Nashville Predators at Chicago Blackhawks, Oct 24, 2009 7:30 PM CDT
Game Time: 7:30 Central
TV/Radio: WGN Ch.9, WGN 720

Don't Forget: Your SPG Picks
So this is when it's supposed to start to get fun, right? Both the Predators and the Blackhawks come into tonight's tilt missing their top centers, Jason Arnott and Jonathan Toews, respectively. There was optimism yesterday that Toews and Brent Seabrook both might still be able to play tonight, but as we posted earlier, neither participated in today's morning skate, and are out tonight. Since they're both at least slightly concussed, it's probably a wise idea to not push them to return too soon, particularly in October. Having one concussion increases the risk of another, especially if one is not fully recovered from the first one. Just ask Ben Eager. The Hawks plan on having both Toews and Seabs around for a long, long time, so it's smart on the coaching and training staff's part to keep them out long enough for a proper recovery.
Their absence does create quite a large void in the lineup, however. At press time here at the SCH offices, newcomer Andrew Ebbett is slated to take Toews' spot between Patrick Sharp and Andrew Ladd, and the recently recalled Jake Dowell filling in on the fourth line. Defensively, look for Barker to be paired with Keith, and Sopel and Hendry to comprise (a likely sparsely used) third pairing. I'd expect the Soupy/Hammer pairing to remain in tact. However, we do need to remember that this team is coached by Joel Quenneville, and all these combinations will likely be a giant goat-fuck by the second period. Oh yeah, and Cristobal Huet gets the start in net.
The Hawks are coming into tonight's game off of their first loss in which they were genuinely outplayed. Vancouver executed the gameplan that they couldn't last May, and the Hawks were suckered into undisciplined mistakes. One would expect a more controlled effort coming off of that, but with all the changes in the lineup, that might be a tall order.
Nashville arrives in town off of a win over Ottawa in which they scored half as many goals(6) as they had in their previous 8 games combined. And it was with #1 center Jason Arnott on injured reserve as well. Despite this outburst, the Preds' offense is still anemic at a 9.1% conversion rate, and they're thinner at forward than than Lara Flynn Boyle on a coke binge. The entirety of their offense is basically coming from two guys, J.P. Dumont and Steve Sullivan, and after that, there isn't much of anything. That being said, Martin Erat will somehow find his way onto the scoresheet, just because that weasel always seems to against the Hawks.
Look for the Preds to try to gum things up and bring the game down to a pace that they can handle, because in spite of the injuries, the Hawks still have a much more balanced attack that can give the Predators and their underrated defensemen problems. Nashville's shitty start has had more than a few pundits wondering aloud if coach Barry Trotz's time has finally run out in the Music City, but rest assured, the man can coach, and he will have a gameplan in place to try to manage the Hawks as best as his team is possibly equipped to.
The Men of Four Feathers will need a solid start this evening in order to take some of the pressure off of Huet, because there are are 20,000 people in the building just waiting for him to shit the bed. Additionally, they'll need one to dictate the pace to Nashville, because the longer the game remains tight, the more that plays into Nashville's hands, and things could get ugly.

“Let Them Eat Pussy” was a better album, but since this is the one with “Four Leaf Clover” on it, nice choice. Maybe they’ll be needing one by the second period. I’ve seen them a couple of times with Motorhead and it’s a purely ear-bleeding experience in loudness. I hope this is Cristobal Love Huet’s night!
"Call Detroit, tell dem... BULLSHIT!"
C'mon now...STEP UP!
With Toews and Seabrook out who is going to step it up big time for the Hawks? Will be Kane who may go off and give the Hawks a 5-point effort? How about Brouwer getting a multi-goal game? Maybe Barker finally rediscovers how to play defensively? Could the PP actually get going and maybe score a goal or two? There are a lot of questions at play here but it who will be the one that will step up and help the Hawks get the victory as this could be a confidence building victory if the Hawks can win this. Sure it’s Nashville but anytime you can get 2 points without, conceivably, your top two players then that adds to the confidence to the team.
Huet (no doubt) needs a strong effort tonight, although as of right now I’m not in favour of this move. I think Huet could use a little more time with Waite to improve his fundamentals (so we’ve been told) or whatever ails him. Obviously Q feels confident enough in Huet but if he did why Niemi start against Vancouver?
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!!!

Not a whole lot happening, but I’ve liked Jacob Dowell’s play tonight. Also not a fan of the Kane-Madden-Buff pairing. Not a whole lot of opportunity for Kane to create goals for anybody. Kane-Madden-Sharp strikes me a whole lot better at the moment.
http://accordingtwomey.blogspot.com
I'd like to see Kane get a little time with Ebbett.
They’re both tiny, but I think Ebbett would work well with Kaner’s style. Maybe throw buff on the other wing to give the line some size.

2nd Period
Better in the goal output but not better defensively as the Hawks gave the Predators way too many chances in that frame. It seems that they like that play where they dump the puck off the boards and have one of their forwards outskate our defenceman to create a scoring chance.
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!!!

I still hate his mechanics, and couldn’t see tonight.
But damn, if that doesn’t get his confidence up, I don’t know what will!
Alright!!!!!
I saw that too...

potentially seeing all 3...
i go to vanderbilt in nashville, saw the game on the 15th and got fall break this weekend so went tonight
but with 4 tests this week including one on friday it may be tough to make it to sommet center on thursday, we’ll see
2 pretty boring games so far, playing against nashville blows bc they suck but they slow the hawks down pretty effectively (plus injuries not helping). both games were won by quick offensive outbursts, without which we could have been fucked. heres hoping for more consistency once we get healthy.
also we need to fucking fight against the preds, both games got chippy towards the end, maybe buffs hit will fuel the fire…

Pretty ugly game tonight, but feels good to get the 2 points
Hopefully this is a building block for Huet
Lets Go Hawks!
