Nice preview
One-line team, eh? Doesn’t bode well for the home team.
The day will come win the winning streak ends…
..but it is not this day! (roar)
I'll be there
I live in LA and it’s unfortunate to be a Hawks fan out here. They generally suck when they come to southern California. But I’m bringing my girl with me today. Maybe that’ll help. I’m guessing the game ends 5-2. Not sure who wins though.
it's games like these that I worry the tables get turned on us
something about how the team sometimes plays to the level of the opposition.
Hope it doesn’t happen tonight, because not only would we match our franchise record for winning streaks, but Coach Quenneville’s at 499 wins (thanks to GMH and everyone on Twitter who set me straight on that) and a milestone marker would be nice too.
After struggling to stay awake the last couple of games, today’s a weird one that starts at 3pm. One more reason to detest the circus trip. Whatever.
Let’s go Hawks!
Who will be in goal?
I’d assume Huet with Antti tomorrow. Not that it’s a concern, but I think they’ll see more shots than the last game.
My big fear on this one is a letdown. They seemed especially pumped for the Sharks, I just hope they don’t come out lethargic. Or start to think that it’s easy. Even though they make it look incredibly easy!
McClure is “servicing” someone? Um, what exactly does he do?

Do I want to be serviced?
I am a taxpayer.
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
Where the fuck is Bob LeDonne?
I think the Hawks are keenly aware of their good luck in SJ. If the 7-2 win had been against a fumbling or mediocre team, I’d be more worried about this one, to be honest. It’s kind of like, Hey, if it happened to SJ it can happen to us … so let’s not let it. They’ll have learned the same lesson SJ did, and will come out firing in Anaheim.
Any game against Getzlaf-Perry-Ryan and Niedermayer and Giguere will be a challenge, I don’t care about stats and standings. I’m betting this is a close game. But I think we’ll come in very prepared, and focused, and we’re tough to beat when we play our game. A 2-2 tie, with a shootout win for Q’s 500th.
This will be a challenge
Anaheim is not that bad of a team,Selanne is still puttin in goals,Getzlaf to me is a Joe Thornton clone,so hopefully Madden will take care of him…..Perry is very dangerous,as is Bobby Ryan….i expext Huet in net tonight,and Niemi tomorrow….
Dont know how Giguere and Hiller did last year agains the Hawks,but here is to the Blackhawks bombarding them with shots tonight!!and scoring of course :)
GO HAWKS!!!!

Taking a break from moving
to watch this one. By the way, don’t ever move over Thanksgiving weekend. It seems like a good idea, because you have a couple extra days, but having to plan around all the sports is a bitch.
We wear the target.
As we are the team to beat right now I expect the Waddlers to come out well prepped today, and when they do this, they are a very capable club. I’m guessing it’ll be more of a game than SJ put up, but good god almighty… if our dressing room is as fresh and pumped as House has been indicating in the media, sayonara Anaheim! 5-2 Hawks.
"Call Detroit, tell dem... BULLSHIT!"
Where can I watch the game online?
Anyone have a link? No comcast sports in the hell hole that is Michigan.
they've streamed a couple Hawks games so far
Didn’t think this would be on there.

Time for 9!
Let’s hope the ‘Hawks put a GSP beatdown on the Los Angeles Ducks of Anaheim. We’re better than them in every aspect so this is more than a winnable game, but you never know.
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!!!
Remember guys, it's not worth winning if you can't win big!!!
Just figured a Hawks-Ducks reference would fit at this time. Let’s just hope it’s still early in the movie where the Hawks are kicking the Ducks’ asses.
"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!!!"
Seabrook fantastic so far
Twice now Anaheim’s moved it into the ‘Hawk zone and Biscuit’s nonchalantly picked it like the Artful Dodger.
I have the Ducks feed
on NHL game center…I’m sick of opposing announcers stating that we will be fucked because we need to sign Toews, Kaner, and Keith
I know I'm stating the obvious here
but holy shit do I love the Kane/Toews/Hossa line. Thorton/Marleau/Heatly can go suck cock.
Got to love NHL Centre Ice with ’Hawks games always having the other teams feeds. I was shocked that for the Sharks game I got the Comcast Sportsnet Chicago feed.
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!!!
someone should've told them about that
BTW, is the sound fucked up for anyone else?
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
In what way?
Was a little garbled for a few seconds but it passed.
Just cut out again
damn either comcast or kid who set up this damn system
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
OK
I’ll have to whip the kid next time he’s over.
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
LOL
They’re playing Chelsea Dagger.
"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!!!"

When do we go on the PK?
I wanna see some scoring!

sdlkfj I forgot this was an early start
got stuck on the bus for the first 10 minutes of the game. thank goodness I’m not Bob LeDonne!
Feeling good about this power play
Looked like they were close to figuring something out on the last one.
Never mind
But I still think they’re close to breaking through
A weird move made my Coach Q? Impossible!

Boooo!!!! Technical Difficulties
"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!!!"
Technical difficulties
Sounds like a Duck goal.
Aaaand they score. Double Boooo!!!!!
"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!!!"
Ugh
Back to back penalties? I think all the turkey our team consumed yesterday is affecting their play.
And now the fucking Ducks score. Shit balls.
Who is the fucking douchenozzle who's in charge of Comcast
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
Comcast seems to be back
…they just didn’t want us to see that goal…
a little chippy: hockey, mostly
"if you don't watch the violence, you'll never get desensitized to it!"
Intermission now though
Different signal than the game itself. Who knows.
well least they have 17 minutes to get it fixed
either way little sloppy at the end from what i could hear. Should have a bounce back period next period
Not a bad first but not a good one either. Should of had a goal or two if Kane could’ve hit the net. His marksmanship wasn’t at his best in that period.
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!!!
ATDHE is on now.
Just in time to witness Selane’s goal. Link: ATDHE

Hammer’s goal is to promote IKEA?

So everyone hear about Tiger Woods?
First reports said he hit a hydrant and a tree pulling out of his driveway last night and he was seriously injured. But apparently he was treated at the hospital and left in good condition. They’re saying alcohol wasn’t a factor but I don’t know…
"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!!!"
Agreed.
They say no alcohol was involved but when it comes to high-profiled athlete’s you never know. Case in point, Dany Heatley…because it’s possible for a sober person to drive a Ferrari at 180mph through a windy and wet road, right?

Sorry guys..
that first period was probably my fault. I was drinking water and trying to fix something on my computer so I wasn’t really paying attention. I’m about to go get a beer and watch the second though…
it's all up to you then...
I’d have a beer but I’m planning to go to the Wolves game after this. Maybe I’ll have one anyway (long CTA trip)

"if you don't watch the violence, you'll never get desensitized to it!"
Scotty Bowman’s quote on Hammer
“I’d bet my reputation that this guy will be a top 4 defenseman in the NHL for a long time”
I guess that makes him a part of the team’s “core”, eh?
Stop talking like a Canadian
But I hope so.
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
Just seems like every time they have something going
… it evaporates. Can’t sustain anything so far.
Double Fuck!!!

"Call Detroit, tell dem... BULLSHIT!"
Nice play by Biscuit to put his body in the way of that pass.
If that got through it looked like a sure goal.

Hard to see
But it did, to me, look like someone else touched the puck after Selanne shot.
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
The 2 goal lead
Is the second most dangerous in hockey?
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
Our PK blows today and the hockey gods must be in love with Anaheim today. 2 fucking lucky goals.
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 still feels like
one good shift by the ’Hawks can turn this thing around.
We look pretty shitty tonight
I know I shouldn’t expect greatness every night but it’s been hard not to during this 8 game win streak.
Haha, Buff humped his head.
I’d be pissed too if a 260 lb black man was raping the back of my head too lol.

Guess this shouldn't be too surprising
Towards the end of a long trip, playing at a weird time, and after the biggest game of the year so far. They gotta be physically and emotionally spent.
Nothing to lose now.
Open things up and make these fools look like Flames.
"Call Detroit, tell dem... BULLSHIT!"
The officials would have to call a penalty or two on the Ducks and given their history—it’s a strong possibility.

An adult if you can believe it. He was showing his kid (who also had a glove) how to catch the puck/or ball during an interview with Perry.

Dear Colin Fraser,
please don’t fight George Parros. I couldn’t handle the second-hand embarrassment.
Fraser vs. Parros?
It’s official… Fraser’s trick mirror is giving him bad information.
"Call Detroit, tell dem... BULLSHIT!"
Kane bailed out by the post
Lost the puck and just watched Perry skate by to start a 2-on-1 rush.
Dear Q
Versteeg on the point is possibly even worse than Sharpie on the point.

I CANNOT HANDLE EDZO ANYMORE
Love the indian and the blog. I have been reading for a while and trying to keep my crazy to myself. I can’t stand it anymore, eddie knows nothing about goaltending and I don’t understand why. How do you make itthat far as a player and a coach and know so little aboutthe position. The leagus no longer cares about the goalie at all. BUFF Interfeard with jiggy, that is a bullshit move by him. Buff should not be skating through the crease over jiggy, bullshit move. the league needs to protect the keeper or there will be more hurt goalies. the league needs to protect the goalie, it is trickling down to mens league and even peewee hocky. I am getting really pissed.
Is anyone for the Hawks having a good game here?
Huet hasn’t been all that bad despite the three PP goals, but other than that I’m coming up empty.
Just Steeg
everyone else is really bad. Godlike substance Seabrook has just been terrible and lethargic.
Biscuit was great for the first ten minutes or so
Since then the defense as a whole has been making Huet work pretty hard.
Agreed
Blocking shots, hustling around. Maybe he skipped the triyptophan turkey berakfast smorg.

2nd Period Stats: It ain't pretty
Shots: Hawks – 17 Ducks – 28
Hits: Hawks – 10 Ducks – 16
Faceoffs: Hawks – 16 Ducks – 18
Blocked Shots: Hawks – 6 Ducks – 4
So the Hawks are getting outplayed just about everywhere. Eager and Hossa are tied for the most shots with 3 each. Toews is killing it at the dot but no one else is (except Kane who won his only draw).
The only sustained
offensive zone pressure at even strength came from the 4th line, and even that was only on their last two shifts. We look like a team on the back end of a back to back. That doesn’t send good signs for tomorrow.
After this performance I think Q will have the attention of the whole room and they will KILL the Queens who look horrific without Smyth.

but Giguere stoned Toews. Oh well.

If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
holy shit I can't take this anymore
Fraser just tripped up Eager at the Ducks’ blue line. WHY ARE THEY IN THE SAME EXACT SPOT ON THE ICE. WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN.
Of course.
During the early season rage of Huet’s play I suggested that IF the Hawks were to upgrade their goaltending that Giguere would be a possibility.
Now it’s come to bite me in the ass.
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!!!
Okay.
Things are looking a little better. Holding the line and getting some shots in for this period. Need a quick one.
"Call Detroit, tell dem... BULLSHIT!"
His line has been the only effective one all day.

Good encapsulation of the entire game right there
Kane takes it behind the net, slides it over to Toews, who looks out and … no one around. Four Ducks in the middle and the ’Hawks standing around the perimeter, watching.
They’re just tired.
He’s not alone.

I blame Burish
Ever since he got hurt they’ve sucked in 3:00 Friday games. Obviously he’s a bad influence.
Plus he was in Madison for four years
One year in that city ramped up my drinking for years afterwards
This is really hard to watch. Nashville calibre defensive play from the Ducks right now.

One word to describe the game:
UGLY!

eh
PK was due for a letdown after that illmatic game against the Sharks (and general dominance so far this season). I’ll take this loss as long as they come out jacked up tomorrow.
there are very few teams I can't stomach us losing to
thankfully, the Ducks are not one of them.

Oh well
As crummy games go, this one shouldn’t hurt too bad down the road.
Fun hanging with you all during the game. Gotta get back to moving now.
Fuck.
Ducks handed out sticks and no fights broke out in the crowd. So disappointed.

I blame this one on Canada
And not letting me have the day off, so I only caught the last period. There weren’t any goals scored against us after I started watching. Imagine if I’d been able to watch from the beginning.
What a letdown game that was.
Ugh. I can’t believe I wasted two and a half hours watching that.
GO BLACKHAWKS
Witness to Mark Buehrle's perfect game July 23, 2009
I'm glad I didn't
Instead, I watched my alma mater’s hockey team beat the crap out of our rival, 8-3.
Chicagoan in the Lou.
I'm too lazy to look up the Hawks daygame
Record in the last couple years but I know its bad. I hate daygames as well. When you have a bunch 21 year olds on your team and you just spent a week in Western Canada what do you think they are going to do in LA? I expect a better effort Sat night
by Duck99 on Nov 27, 2009 5:26 PM CST via mobile reply actions
Exactly
Plus its Thanksgiving, also the majority of Hockey players are of northern european descent… who tend to drink more then others (not hating, I am Irish so I cannot talk shit).
I can totally see it, just one drink, okay one more, they all start pushing each other and then bam
???
Canadian Hawks = 15
Euro Hawks = 5
And of the 15, 11 are from western Canada where their friends/families no doubt still live. I’d say if anything, a loss in L.A. is likely because they were recovering from their day off “givin’ ’er” at home sweet home.
"Call Detroit, tell dem... BULLSHIT!"
I had free time so I looked
For games starting before 4pm at wherever it is the Hawks are playing:
08-09 — 5-5-0 — 0.500
07-08 — 4-2-3 — 0.611
06-07 — 5-6-0 — 0.454
05-06 — 1-3-1 — 0.200
Compared to their overall records for those seasons:
08-09 — 0.634
07-08 — 0.537
06-07 — 0.433
05-06 — 0.396
Doesn’t really look like we suck especially more during matinees compared to how we do the rest of the season. Maybe it’s just tougher to take because drinking is not always a ready option around that time…

Water off a duck's back
Mama said there’d be days like this.
Against SJ, everyone played great. Today, the suckitude was widespread.
Two points tomorrow night and the trip’s still orgasmic.
if they all pack their 'bad day'
into the same day, we’re better off overall.
and 4-1 on a roadtrip looks good to me
