Cage In The Water....: Sharks at Hawks Preview And Thread
San Jose Sharks at Chicago Blackhawks, Nov 15, 2009 6:00 PM CST
GAMETIME: 6pm Central
TV/RADIO: WGN-TV, WGN Radio 720
ENEMY BLOGGERS: Fear The Fin
What a way to close out the homestand. Once again, Kings of The Fall San Jose Sharks will send the Hawks out on the Circus trip. Last year's season series was a complete, drool-on-yourself, crack genie, straight-jacket-needed nutcase of games. Both games at the UC were OK Corral reenactments, with the teams splitting 6-5 decisions. Both games at The Tank were tight checking affairs, again with each team taking one victory.
The Sharks were in St. Louis last night, beating up the toddler that is the St. Louis Blues (that's as much fun to write as you think it is). Though getting fisted on the shot-board (39-17) the Sharks still came out 3-1 winners. Nabokov started that one, so there's a chance we may see Thomas Greiss tonight. But that's not much of a let-up, he's gotten of to a very solid start. You know the drill with the rest of the opponent. Their top two lines are loaded, and all of them are firing on all cylinders. Heatley scored a goal last night that only he and few others could manage, bringing in a rope of a pass on his backhand, getting it to the forehand and then burying it in the top corner from all of five feet out. Let's hope that's it for the weekend for him.
Just like the LA game on Monday, we here at the offices are ecstatic to watch Joe Thornton have to deal with John Madden all night. When more effort is required, Big Joe is far from a guarantee to provide it.
The Haws have to stay out of the box tonight, which they have these past three games. Any power play unit that rolls out Boyle, Marleau, Thornton, and Heatley is terrifying.
It's bee a good home stand so far, but it could be a great one with two points tonight. We've covered JR enough on this blog, but should be a special one with his Heritage Night. Although, his claims his number should be retired are patently ridiculous. But so's JR, and that's partly why we love him. As always, be sure and pick up a copy of The Committed Indian on your way in, there are lawsuits to pay off.
Let's Go Hawks.

Sucks to miss this one
But money must be made, even (especially?) on the Sabbath. Hopefully getting the Sharks on the second day of a back-to-back will work in our favor, although that’s been rather unpredictable. Team stat comparison:
SJS PP: 25% (3rd overall)
CHI PP: 18.6% (19th overall)
And the two teams are tied at first overall with 87.5% on the kill. Scary.
The sharks are giving up a lot more shots this year than last year, though, sitting at 17th overall with 30 SA/G. Bold prediction: One of tonight’s ‘Keys to the Game’ will be GET PUCKS TO THE NET.
Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if we get bushwhacked on faceoffs, as Sharks are first in the league (even though Hawks are second).

Bickell recalled. Have a feeling might be for Versteeg. He got banged up several times the other night and did not practice yesterday.

So who's it going to be?
Nabokov or Greiss, Bickell or Versteeg as both changes could prove vital for comes out victorious. Greiss is a solid back-up but by no stretch of the imagination is he close to Nabokov and that’s why I think the latter gets the start tonight. With Versteeg it just adds to the injury woes concerning the Hawks but if there is a silver lining at least we know Bickell will not attempt any 1-on-4’s that Versteeg is well known for.
Don’t think this game will be as high scoring as the 2 contests seen at the UC last season with the Sharks coming off a win last night over the blue Blues and with the Hawks sporting as many injuries as they have. Expect a low scoring 3-2 type of game.
My fearless prediction: Toews with a goal and an assist with Ebbett getting one (we’ll see how that Ebbett prediction turns out).
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 are the lines?
It appears to be:
Buff – Kopecky – Eager (started)
Sharp – Toews – Kane
Brouwer – Madden – Ladd
Hendry – Frazier – Bickell
I know Versteeg is out, but aren’t we missing one more? Who am I forgetting with Hendry and Bickell in the lineup?
by Scott13 on Nov 15, 2009 6:50 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
That's right
I should have been thinking center instead of wing. I wonder if he fell out of favor with Q because he started rotating Ebbett, Eager and Kopecky out with Kane and Versteeg on Friday night. And later in the game when Ebbett was out there with them Versteeg was taking the draws.
Does anyone know whether this change was injury or performance? Seeing how they had to call up a player from Rockford it seems unlikely that this was just a whim.
by Scott13 on Nov 15, 2009 6:55 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
He only played ~9 minutes, if I recall correctly
so I’m guessing it’s performance based.

lightning stats--2nd period
’Hawks have the shot advantage, 22-15, as well as a generous “hit advantage” of 16-7.
Eight (8) giveaways to the Sharks’ one (1) is simply not good enough, though.
They’re 48% on faceoffs, although that’s being skewed a bit by Madden’s perfect record (6-0). Toews is being pounded at 36% and Kopecky is running out of life at 17%.

Well...let's try to win this period
The first 2 were O.K. for the team but not for Huet as I’m sure the haters will be out in full force tomorrow. Guh.
Nice little comeback although it’s too bad they had to after that agregious call by Fraser (aka. Fucking Asshole) as maybe he’s trying to take over McCreary as the official that pisses me off the most.
Got to love this game for many reasons but for me as an Ottawa native seeing Bickell, Campbell, Joslin, and Couture is a little deja vu as I’ve seen all 4 as juniors as members of the 67’s.
Big 3rd let’s get this done and go 4 for 4.

Yeah, agreed
Maybe not the best idea to post the Packers score on a Chicago Blackhawks site.

Packers 17, Cowboys 7
Wow, when I turned off the game to go get dinner, it was still 3-0.
That ball hit deep! Way back! You can put it on the boooaaaard...YES!
Long drive into deep right center field! This ball is OUTTA HEEERRRREE!

We're all happy from a nice Hawks comeback win and you have to bring up football.

Sorry, wasn’t trying to boast about a 5-4 team that’s for sure. But more of that the hero Tony Romo was a mere :34 seconds from being shutout by a team that lost to the Bucs a week earlier. Packers fan for sure but we’ve had nothing to cheer about for much of the season, in fact 2 seasons now.
If I wanted to start a war I would’ve asked how that messiah Cutler is doing? But I didn’t.

No one's going to jump on you for mentioning Cutler
We all know he’s a disappointment. We just don’t want the Packers win being rubbed in our face while we’re trying to celebrate a COMEBACK VICTORY AGAINST THE SHARKS!!!

Trust me the Pack aren’t going too far this season. If they’re lucky they might make the playoffs, but that’s a huge if.
In any event that was an amazing victory against a very good (possibly great) team over there in San Jose. Down 3-1 it looked bleak but somehow, someway the Hawks managed to tie it up and send it into OT with the Biscuit putting it into the basket.
LET’S GO HAWKS!!!

RE: Cutler
Given that Cutler is what now, QB #4362 to come through the bears under the administration of one Lovie Smith and his wonderful offensive coordinator Ron Turner and play like crap, I suspect there is more to the situation than simply Cutler sucking. At some point you string so many failures together with different cogs and maybe it is the guy behind the wheel calling the offense who is the idiot.

Cutler is one of the premier QB’s in football but has ZERO wide recievers to throw to. When Devin Hester is your top option as a receiver then you’re in trouble.
Just like Rodgers who has an offensive line that is offensive to him. Today he got sacked twice on a three-step drop, how does that happen? In fact the Packers eventually decided to almost abandon the pass today and just stick to running the ball with Grant and play defence.
If you don’t have the guys around you it doesn’t matter how good you are it’s going to be tough sledding on offence.
Cutler is a great QB and the Bears are extremely lucky to have him but he needs guys that he can give the ball to.

great game by the hawks.
nice way to set up the circus trip. i say the hawks will go 4-2
by heyrocky on Nov 15, 2009 8:59 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Yes.
This was a very nice way to finish a hard couple of weeks prior to the circus. We’ve only lost one game in regulation this month now, Phoenix back on the 5th. This trip has a scary appearance but as you mention, the addition of Hossa (hopefully sooner than later) could see us through the toughest stretch to date. I’ll take that 4-2 for sure! We’re getting the big points from all sorts of different players. Everyone is working hard. The goaltending fiasco is a very fucking distant bad dream. Overall, things are pretty rosy.
I think I’ll be at the Calgary game on Thursday, but it’s the Canuckledouches I’m really looking forward to.

They’re still pretty bitter about the Hawks dousing them in the 2nd round.
Calgary game should be good. Hawks should get plenty of shots at the Kipper who is en fuego right now.

Yes he is.
stopping 38 of 40 last night for example. He’s a thief for sure and Iggy is playing his game right now too. The Flames are looking very relaxed and that is a little scary, but if we bring the ‘A’ game their hands will be full. They are still phenomenally adept at getting the 3 or 4 (or FIVE lol!) goal lead and then daydreaming themselves into another abysmal loss while Kipper does everything in his power to keep them alive. Hoping for a good show Thursday night.

Should be a good one with the Flames, no doubt, looking to avenge that earlier debacle at the hands of the Hawks. Guaranteed they’ll be reminded of it by the Canadian media going into that game.

going into the third period tied was huge
in retrospect. Madden being on the spot and getting that third goal … massive.
by gmh on Nov 15, 2009 9:14 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Madden is just a machine. Couldn’t ask for anything more out of a #3 center.

News and notes
Atlanta is on fire winning again 3-2 over the Oilers. Remember when people thought that the Hawks should’ve resigned Khabibulin? Not so much anymore.
Carolina 5, Minnesota 4 in the SHO. Finally the ’Canes have won a game, their first in 14 games. The Wild continue to be abysmal away from the Xcel Energy Center.

And to add to it Kyle Calder (he’s still alive?) had been recalled by the Ducks.

Another member of the old ABC line
Boy that really panned out, wasn’t Arnason recently released by Colorado?
Lets Go Hawks!
by CubsBall2202 on Nov 15, 2009 9:51 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Arnason was a UFA and signed a two-way contract with the Rangers in the off-season. Pretty sure he’s spent the year in the minors so far this season.
