We Made The Sharks Brains Bigger: Hawks at Sharks Preview/Thread/Ethics Panel

POSTCARDS FROM THE OTHER SIDE:  Fear The Fin

It's only been about a full season since the Hawks were playing "big games" that everyone in hockey would pay attention to, and it's still cool to me.  It hasn't lost any of its sheen.  Serious hockey fans everywhere will be keeping an eye on this one.  This is a rare occurrence in November, so it's worth enjoying. 

Anyway, the best two teams in the league bang the gong tonight in White Oakland.  We've been over the big story from the Hawks side, and that's the return of Marian Hossa (or Fat Tony, or Hoss-bolla -another nickname I'd like to try on for size).  From the Sharks side, the recent goings on have seen Marleau punted up to the top line with Joe Thornton and Dany Heatley, which has the entire country of Canada salivating because that's probably the Olympic team's top line, too.  They've been together for two games, and produced six goals.  Ouch.  Should be interesting to see how Todd McLellan wants to arrange this.  For sure he wants to keep Thornton away from John Madden, and very well may just fight fire with fire due to Kane's lack of size and not-total defensive awareness (though it's much better than what it was, whether you like it or not).  He'll also try and keep Jumbo Joe away from Marlboro 72 (Keith and Seabrook), so expect Hjalmarsson and 51 Phantom to have quite the workout tonight.

As of right now, it looks like Dan Boyle will not play tonight.  He blocked a shot in their last game in Anaheim, and there's been some call-ups from the Shark affiliate in Worcester (how's that for a shuttle?).  If Boyle doesn't play it really affects the Sharks.  That blue line looks a lot less threatening without him, and the power play could take a hit as they have no other QB back there.  That doesn't mean the Hawks should feel the need to parade to the box, however.  Devin Setoguchi also probably won't play, and Rob Blake is a long-term absentee. 

The Sharks scare me at the second line.  It's not that I don't love Sharp, Versteeg, and whichever big body is paired with them (probably Buff as Brouwer will be needed on a checking line), but the trio Pavelski and Clowe are animals.  Thankfully, Setoguchi's absence takes away some of this bite. 

The Sharks and Hawks haven't played a game that hasn't been massively entertaining in a long time.  I don't believe in anything such as "statement games", especially this early in the year.  What I do know is that all of us will be beaming during Thanksgiving if the Hawks go into the den of the league's current point-leader and beat them for the second time in two weeks.  Should that happen, we can drop the "arguably" from the label the Hawks have as "arguably the league's best team right now."  Make it happen.

Update:  Boyle's in, so ignore all that.

Reminder: Shenanigans and more at Whirlaway (3224 W. Fullerton) tonight.  Kick the holiday off right with us, and make Killion feel even worse for the crime of spending the holiday with his family.  Fool.

Everyone go vote the Sharpshooter for Chicago’s Sexiest Athlete at vschicago.com. Because, as @chiblackhawks would say, “A vote for Sharp is a vote for HOCKEY!”

And the dude is way better looking than Derrick Rose.

I think voting ends tonight, and you can vote more than once. Wonder if Pat and Eddie will mention it tonight on the broadcast?

I voted for both (once). thanks for posting; when the contest was posted on the Hawks’ Facebook page, all these guys freaked out about it being “gay” or “we want the Stanley Cup, not pretty boys” or whatever. lighten up, it gives more publicity to hockey! not that we need help selling out the games, but more news coverage of the Chicago team that’s actually successful would be nice…

I'll admit...

I checked out the new VS store (this is all just publicity for it anyway) yesterday and in their clothes line geared towards college students (I’m guessing that’s what it is) you can get fancy shirts for Bears, Bulls, Sox, Cubs, and Illini—but no Hawks. not that it’s a tragedy to not have glittery Hawks gear, but it does seem unfair… (oh, and at least all the team clothes are in the actual team colors)

Facts not Predictions

I’m not going to make any predictions of who’s going to win, as I have never been a fan of them anyhow and you always see plenty of tools that the say that blank team is going to win with a score of x to x and the goals are going to be scored by these players. It just so LAME!

I will tell you simply the facts,

The Sharks are the top team in the NHL right now (11/25 at 2 p.m. CST). The Blackhawks scored two unanswered goals for the come from behind win :41 seconds into overtime (Thanks Toews, Brouwer, and Seabs) ten days ago against the San Jose Sharks at the U.C. That game was played minus Kris Versteeg and Marian Hossa who will both be on the ice tonight. This game is going to be played at the Shark Tank. The Sharks are 7-0-2 in the Tank. They have not lost in regulation at home.

We are going to see a great game tonight! The road to the Cup is upon us.

I really like Jesus Marian Joseph, but the guy has to do something like score two goals to come from behind in the first game of the playoffs before I’ll refer to him like that.

Or he could walk on water.

Is it just me...

Or is Mullet Melrose nuts (being civil in my use of adjectives…) in suggesting that Hossa should be kept out of the lineup until the ’Hawks lose a game, since it would send a message that players playing well do not have to worry about being benched upon the return of a superstar. Incredibly foolish perspective, so outrageous that I had to share.

Walking around San Fran in my Cheli Jersey, getting ready for the tilt, which, sadly, I will not be seeing atthe Shark Tank, but rather from home. Feeling like a strong win might just get the Hawks into the fragile (albeit larger) Sharks’ brains.

Your gametime video feed and beer

Yes, the coverage has been spotty this year. Shut the hell up—I’ve given you guys my “sources” on multiple occasions.

Anyway, you ass ho’, here are some feeds and a beer.

Beer:

Samuel Smith’s Oatmeal Stout
Yes, that picture is fucking huge, and yes, some asshole is serving Samuel Smith in a Chimay chalice. But it’s also a really cool picture, so I’m going with it. Try to stop me.

As I said in my last gametime beer post, I haven’t been drinking much beer lately. “Real” life and marathon training (went straight into training for Boston after Chicago) are my anti-beers… or something. Anyway, I’m not up to speed on the latest crazes, but I figure with winter rapidly approaching, it’s as good a time as any to feature a nice, familiar, cozy stout.

That said, drink whatever the fuck you want. I was going to feature a beer from Slovakia, where Wikipedia claims Hossa is from, but I’m pretty sure that’s a fake country that some assclown made up on Wikipedia. (Relax—I’m kidding. Slovakia does exist. I think.)

Random goalie thought...

in my boner for hossa coming back and reading every online article I ran across more than one article saying how huet has an poor .909 save percentage. I’m no GMH, so my statistical revelation may be lame, but if you add 2 saves to huet’s total he moves to a .913, good for 18th in the league, add 4 saves, he moves to the top 10.
I know there is a certain amount of relativity (based on how other goalies perform) but, it seems pretty ridiculous that such an insignificant variation could be treated as such a drastic indication as to how he has played. I can’t help but be reminded of the old baseball adage, "don’t tell me what you hit, tell me when you hit it". (to compare this to baseball again, it’s like saying that the player hits .350 is so much better than the player that hits .340)

by SLoop on Nov 25, 2009 4:05 PM CST reply actions  

I also think

Huet’s SV% has risen pretty steadily since the first couple weeks of the season. .909 doesn’t seem that bad, given how few shots he sees in general, and his GAA is good for fourth best in the league at 2.14 or something like that. Basically, I’m not too worried.

by gmh on Nov 25, 2009 4:22 PM CST up reply actions  

Ya

Considering his Sv% was at like .840 just a few weeks ago, I’d say .909 is pretty freaking good.

Don't forget the Hawks also let up the fewest or close to the fewest shots per game.

It’s easier for a goalie to put up a high save% when his team is letting up 30+ shots a game. Every shot our team blocks is a shot our goalie doesn’t have to make. As long as Huet can cut down on the “soft” goals that he lets in from behind the net and other awkward angles, we’ll be fine.

Season  ESGAA SHGAA QComp Hit BkS TkA Pen ValD  PCD
2006-07 2.40 5.44 – 5.2 4.6 0.6 – 0.08 1.38

2008-09 2.22 7.08 0.08 7.0 3.5 0.8 0.8 0.17 1.48


In 2007-08 Seabrook was used against the very best competition (0.27 QComp) and yet kept even-strength scoring to a very reasonable 2.18 per 60 minutes. His already impressive physical play has improved, throwing 7.0 hits per 60 minutes, even though he has managed to decrease his total number of minor penalties taken down to 0.8. He blocks fewer shots now than he used to (3.5 per 60 minutes in 2008-09, down from 4.6 three seasons ago), but both his GVT and his PC indicate that he is among the league’s best defensive defensemen, and gradually improving in his own end.

2nd Period Stats:

Shots: Hawks – 29 Sharks – 11
Hits: Hawks – 14 Sharks – 20
Faceoffs: Hawks – 18 Sharks – 23
Blocked Shots: Hawks – 9 Sharks – 9

Hammer has 4 blocked shots and 1 hit. Panda has 3 shots (one goal) and has played just over 12 minutes so far which is actually second overall for forwards – only Toews has more. Kopecky has one two faceoffs which makes him 100% so far – so I guess he does something afterall.

Thornton is -2, has no shots, and is firmly in Madden’s back pocket.
