OPPOSITION BLOG: The excellent On The Forcheck.
Don't forget your SPG picks (you can if you want, I don't care)
Well, I set a new standard when my last entry ended with pictures of retarded kids in the comments. Awfully high bar for me to keep reaching all year, but I'll do my damndest. Anyway, good afternoon, I am here -- after stupid celebrations of Killion's birthday last night -- to do the preview and open up your official game thread for tonight's encounter against the Preds. Cue Thor calling someone a moron.
I certainly don't mind the two points Nashville are intent on giving us constantly, but I really have no urge to watch them play hockey ever again. At least a couple years ago they were somewhat entertaining. Now that they've been racked by injuries and exits, coach Koopa Trotz is basically playing a trap and sucking the life out of all of us. He has no choice, this team can't score more than twice in a game.
Interesting choice to go with Huet tonight with a better Canadiens team waiting tomorrow. Anyone could get a win against the Preds, and if Niemi doesn't play tonight than he'll have at least a 2.5 week break between starts, which isn't a good idea. But with 19 back-to-backs this season, Huet was going to to have to do one of them on his own at some point, so I guess I won't get my shorts in a bunch.
Seabrook will play, and Toews won't. Hendry may be punted up to forward on the 4th line, ruining whatever momentum they got going by their first decent performance on Monday. Get Dowell back up here, and let him stay. But the season won't hinge on that, I hope.
You know the rest, have at it.

The Pittsburgh Pirates
of the NHL, the league’s biggest debbie downer “attack”, an offense which seems like it was put together by a WNBA coach, etc etc etc…let’s beat ‘em like we’re suppose to gentlemen. Let’s go Hawks!
"What the hell, let's review it." - Dale Tallon
"They are!" - Pat Foley
"What a farce." - Dale Tallon
I agree, I don’t find them interesting to watch at all, but I don’t think they’re terrible. Definitely outgunned, and maybe a little shorthanded by injuries, but not the bottom of the barrel. After all, has anybody seen the Leafs’ record?
http://accordingtwomey.blogspot.com
That team has NOTHING going from it. Leafs leading scorers: Niklas Hagman, Alexei Ponikarovsky, Matt Stajan, and Lee Stempniak. YIKES! That is just terrible, and their million-dollar “Monster” looks like a bad Niemi.
true
but when you look at them consistantly in the bottom 5 year in and year out… for the most part… thats where the comparisons stick
Salary Cap Question (maybe)
We don’t keep Skille or Dowell up with the NHL team because it saves money on cap space, and we can call them up presumably at a moment’s notice. But why have we been carrying 7 defensemen this whole time if Hendry is only likely to play if Seabrook is hurt? Wouldn’t it save cap space to just carry a roster of 20 and call up whoever is needed as an injury replacement? Does Hendry have too much service time or something to be yo-yo’d?
Also, is there any chance that they’ll dress 7 D-men in case Seabrook isn’t able to play the full game? IE are they expecting him to be less than 100%? If that were the case it might make some sense not to call up an extra forward to replace Toews.
http://accordingtwomey.blogspot.com
Even Morans win once in awhile
So let’s hope the Hawks don’t get overconfident. Despite our ability to score even strength goals, we haven’t exactly mastered traps and powerplays this year.
Go back to the “Well, that’s 1/2 back” and scroll down and there will lie the answer to your question.
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!!!
it's "sure things" like this that make me nervous
because it’s doubly worse when we lose to a team we shouldn’t.
zzz, zzz, zzz...
Buf: “Hey Kaner… what the hell just happened?”
20-Cent: “Shit! They just scored again!”
"Call Detroit, tell dem... BULLSHIT!"
A poll--what's lower on my list of priorities:
A) watching this game
B) watching Pierrot le Fou
because those are currently my social choices for tonight. Guh.
Huet back to back starts?
Is this confirmed?
I assumed they would start Huet tonight and Niemi Friday because:
1. Huet’s 1GA in 2 games against Nashville
2. You’d think Mon has a pretty good scouting report on Huet.
Why....to we have to play this game?
I would like to thank the beautiful schedule handed out as the Hawks once again travel to the country music city-Nashville. The treat is that after tonight the Hawks will only travel to Nashville one more time the rest of the season as I’m sure everyone is thankful for that. The trick is that the Predators are just as boring to watch at the UC, unfortunately there are scheduled to arrive here twice more. So there is still 3 more games against the Predators left after tonight, so sorry if I’ve already ruined your spirits.
Looks like Q is going back to what worked earlier in the month when he had the veteran netminder start on the road (Huet), followed by the rookie at home (Niemi). May the Hawks achieve the same results-back to back W’s.
Based on play and results I would like to see more of Hendry and less of Barker but given the rancid state the Hawks PP has been in I highly doubt that will happen for a while at least.
Happy that Seabrook is back and ready to go as my heart probably couldn’t take another game with Sopel receiving more than 20+ minutes of ice-time. That alone should make the beer taste better, as well as the PK and well…everything else defensively.
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!!!
I actually like these Nashville games. Most road games I sit around my house and destroy my liver with beers while I’m nervous about what could happen anytime the puck goes up and down the ice. At least against Nashville, you can relax because something may not happen for ten to fifteen minutes, and that’s ok.
And Hawks61, I hope Sopel plays 20+ minutes tonight, just so he blocks all 5 Nashville shots.

Just don’t want to chance it by putting Sopel out there for over 20+ minutes and have him revert to the old Sopel. Remember him from last year? Guh.

Buff
DESTROYED sullivan at the horn last game. predator “players” didnt like it. maybe some of those d-bags will put a target on buff tonite. thats really the only interesting (barely interesting) note on this game.
go get two points. go hawks.
"...can i have a glass of whiskey and a slice of bread?"
Love for Buff to wear the new “Destroyer of Tootoo” crown since Wiz is gone.
http://accordingtwomey.blogspot.com
Speaking of Tootoo..
Is he still injured??? I’ll have to watch the game on mute if I’m forced to hear the annoying fan with the train whistle every time that SOB is on the ice
"Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that."
-Bill Shankly
Tootoo still out
He’s got some “lower body” injury….thought I remember it being a groin pull. In honor of the Tootoo conversation, here’s Brad Staubitz punchisizing his face (for free)

At least Nashville probably has the highest percentage of fans sporting mullets
that’s a thing, right?
although i've never been to calgary
and i heard they’re pretty bad, too.
Forest Lawn
South Calgary – birthplace of the Canadian mullet. Sometimes they get so thick in the stands you have to read numbers to tell what jersey a guy has on!
"Call Detroit, tell dem... BULLSHIT!"
Ever seen the movie "Fubar"??
If not, find it – simply one of the greatest indy movies ever created. It’s a cult classic in the vein of Spinal Tap. You’ll have a new appreciation of Calgary and the mullet. Check it: Deaner & Terry
"Call Detroit, tell dem... BULLSHIT!"
It's not a haircut, it's a lifestyle.
Small towns outside of Ottawa are just as bad if not worse.

at least we dont...
have to worry about the crowd being a factor. Altho I have heard some pretty nasty stories about the Nashville “fan”
i was making a joke
by using fan as a singular noun rather than fans a plural noun…. and now that i explained the joke its lost some of its impact… lol
like inbetween periods when.......

all the “redneck” things that are being joked about here apply more to Western Canada than Nashville.

LOL just think about it… Calgary plays in the Saddledome, and all of the fans have mullets and possibly missing teeth from getting in fights over which brother called dibs on there sister first.
Please see my post above.
And you are correct. This is the stadium I am forced to watch my beloved Hawks play in!
"Call Detroit, tell dem... BULLSHIT!"
I didnt know you were from the calgary area… Must get a little annoying watching the hawks play there… especially with that annoying goal horn!
THAT HORN SUCKS!!
And then they shoot the obligatory 40 feet of “We gots oil! Let’s burn some!” flame into the rafters – and the fucking cheer is “YEE-HAW!”. I pray every time that something catches fire, but it hasn’t come true for me yet. Wouldn’t you know, my first ever Hawks playoff game was game 4 at the Pantyliner Dome last year. Why couldn’t we have had one of those 4-1 scores that night? Probably because I would have been mullet-whipped to death LOL!
"Call Detroit, tell dem... BULLSHIT!"
Edmonton could certainly give Calgary a solid run.
Massive hick factor.

I know it's crazy talk, but I've said it before...
Seebs snatches a pebble from a hooded Keith’s hand, and is now ready to embark on an ardous journey with someone whose number is less than 7 but greater than 4.
As Seebs exits stage right, a door opens on the left and Barker stumbles into view, braggin’ about his shot.
From within the hood: “Shut up and pay attention! You have much to learn, grasshopper.”
And so on. You could do third-period crossovers (getting the old band together) to keep the storylines intersecting, culminating a couple Cups and Norris’s from now with a reunion on the 2014 Canadian Olympic team.
C’mon, this thing may have some legs. Throw in some boobs and a car chase or two…
Seriously though, it would minimize scary Barker/Sopel/Hendry combos, you go shutdown when you need to, Soupy and Nintendo are clicking, and I’m not willing to give up on Barker.

Really,
It shouldn’t. This is boring. PK looks great, ok, couple good plays/saves but not enough to get worked up about.
IMO, they’re all skating like Sopel.

I’m developing a soft spot for Sopel, truth be told.
Also, I’m a Nova Scotian, and so my viewing of this team is pretty much restricted to the web … I don’t get to see them on tv. So I don’t know, even boring Hawks hockey gets me charged.

First period
Nice to see that nothing has changed from Saturday night where the Predators were allowed to tackle Huet at any opportunity all the while never to be punished in doing so.
The Hawks, believe it or not, actually got a PP against Nashville only to be sent to the sin bin 3 times themselves basically having to kill off the last 6 minutes of the period.
Huet was excellent again…nice to have him back.
Overall play was paltry, hopefully we’ll pick it up in the 2nd and get the lead and finish this off and get the 2pts.

Clearly Buff’s ass is bigger thus better suited to stick in Rinne’s face.

This game has that 1-0 shutout feeling to it
Fuck Trashville
Lets Go Hawks!
Nashville definitely sucks
But Rinne is a decent goaltender. Fuck us.

And reply fail
The Madden Constant is up above. ;)
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
Second Period
Other than that our PP still sucks which begs the question whoever is coaching the PP should try a different strategy.
Verteeg on the PK should be banned. No more please. Thank-you.
Kopecky on the PP should also be banned.
Sopel has returned to his old ways, thank goodness Seabrook has returned.
One period left before we never see this fucking hell-hole for a while.
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!!!

Legwand
I dont like the way Eddie and Pat are almost daring Legwand to score his first goal of the season…
refs
these guys are an absolute joke tonight, missed calls abound and making a lot of oscar worthy dives made by the [sexual] predators turn into hawks in the box.
Frustrating game to watch, hope they come out firing tomorrow against les Habs!!
My dad taught me three thing at my first hockey game at age 5:
Always buy the Blue Line..
Dino [Ciccarelli] is a queen-o
Detroit Sucks!!
I foresee Versteeg with a shorty.

We NEED to have a good PP here.
This PP is the game right here
"Everything I know about life, I learned from my father watching the Blackhawks. It can all be summed up in 2 words, 2 simple words that ring over and over in my memory. Detroit Sucks!!! Detroit Sucks!!!"
Huet
with an excellent game tonight. Let’s capitalize!
"The Hawks need a lube job on their offense right now."-Pat Foley
a completely useless game
and now 2 min of excitement.
And his 1 goal on the season….really?

yeah couldn't get anything going
Huet looked very good and Kane had a good game even though he didn’t end up scoring. Way too many penalties
"The Hawks need a lube job on their offense right now."-Pat Foley
Ugly loss.
But on the plus side, Huet looked good in net again. Let’s get them Habs tomorrow!

Maybe Q has some ass-ready firecrackers for everybody besides Huet.
(And, by the way, I freaking HATE the Habs. Anger, gentlemen. ANGER!)

The Habs suck beyond belief
Outside of Islanders, Thrashers, and Leafs they haven’t beaten anyone so the prospects look good for tomorrow night.

thanks for broadcasting
though I feel glum now. oh well, these game threads are always entertaining. and I’m really looking forward to being at the game tomorrow…
Feeling glum
Turn it over to the Detroit and Edmonton game that should cheer you up.

LOL at the rest of the teams in our division (at least the contenders anyways) poking fun at Huet as our starter. How’s Osgood, Mason, and Mason (sounds like a lawfirm) doing? Not so good, not so good.

Chris Mason has actually been pretty fantastic
Conklin lost tonight (even though he played well too), but the Blues problems have been lazy defense and terrible offensive play. Mason has prevented a lot of games from being 12-1.
Chicagoan in the Lou.
The Coyotes won again? The Avs and Yotes atop the West? Really?

Bryzgalov
has been very good and shane doan who is on my fantasy team cough, cough has been raking in the points. Lots of similarities between those two teams. Two excellent goalies(so far) and forwards that are putting up points.
"The Hawks need a lube job on their offense right now."-Pat Foley
Well that sucked.
Althought the Hawks looked disorganized with absolutely no fluidity to their game they still had many chances to win tonight yet couldn’t. The Predators are completely boring at home and for the love of the schedule the Hawks only travel to the Music City one more time this seaon.
Kane looked to be the only forward that seemed able or willing to create anything offensively. FYI’s are needed for Sharp and Verteeg for it’s about time these two got on the scoresheet. Byfuglien and Brouwer were once again present offensively and Ebbett was once again a disappearing act. Not much has been said of Ebbett but what has he done?
Huet was excellent tonight and kept the Hawks in the game as it was probably his best effort this season. He was that good.
Seabrook looked really good as well in his return to the lineup.

Said it at the top of the thread
Traps and lack of offense on power plays are killing us. I hope Q rips enough ass to get them to bring a sense of urgency tomorrow. It would be nice too if maybe someone planted the seed in Q’s head that his current power play arrangement might need revisiting.
Rips them?
Don’t think he’ll do that after the 12th game of the season against a team that they had previously beaten twice already. It was one of those games (like the couple against St.Louis last year) were the Hawks couldn’t find the back of the net. It happens over the course of an 82-game schedule. Just get back at it tomorrow and beat the Habs.
Agree with you on the PP. Something needs to change as they desperately need to start to create chances if nothing else. Hope it happens tomorrow.

When was the last time...
…the Hawks let down a very good goalie effort?
Lines look discombobulated, and even Madden and Keith were a touch off.
Four forwards out- it showed tonight.
Kopecky is becoming an excellent “bubble boy” candidate when the team gets healthy.
What’s up with Skille? Cap issues?
Can we please put VERSTEEG! and Shooter back on the same line? Some of the passes between the two of them at the start of the season were fantastic, and I forget where I heard it, but somebody made the comment that if Steeger kept feeding Sharpie the way he had been, Sharp would have a crack at 40+ goals. They were absolutely outstanding together and I want it back.
