Someone Going To Step To You Snoop Dogg?: Hawks at Ducks Preview/Gamethread/Intervention

Chicago Blackhawks at Anaheim Ducks, Nov 27, 2009 3:00 PM CST


 

Images_medium  vs. Draft_lens1960363module9273829photo_1209145008daffy-duck-donald-duck_medium
GAMETIME:  3pm Central
TV/RADIO:  CSN, WGN 720am
We hope you all had a safe, fun, and rewarding holiday.  With McClure servicing the county's taxpayers (yeah huh) and Killion back home in DC with his family, I will be driving this bus solo today, so hide the kids.  Anyway, I'm sure none of us could wait for the next game after the Belmont Transfer the Hawks gave the Sharks on Wednesday night.  It's already been a successful road trip, but now it's time for the Hawks to get greedy and make it a porn-tastic one. 

The opponent this afternoon has had a bumpy season so far.  There were some expectations for the Ducks after their surge into the playoffs, allowing Joe Thornton to return to his playoff turtle, and then pushing Scum to 7 games in the next round, where old friend James Wisniewski decided to enact a peformance art piece about a spree killer and be responsible for 3 goals against.  Without that, it very well could have been the Ducks we saw in the Conference Final.  This summer, out went Pronger, in came Saku Koivu and Joffrey Lupul, and everyone assumed they'd pick up right where they left off.  Didn't work out that way (you mean the Koivu who was basically a corpse in Montreal last year didn't revive?  I'm shocked!).  That being said, the Ducks have won three of the last four (though two of those with extra time/shootout), and the Pond has always been a nightmare for the Hawks, and everyone really (more on that later). 

As you might expect, Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry are leading the way, with Perry on a 16-game point streak.  Selanne is banging in his usual load of goals.  But the Ducks haven't really proven to be much beyond a one line team, and are still trying to sort out a lineup that gets them beyond that.  Fuck, Kyle Calder skates for this team, so that tells you everything you need to know.  Now that Pronger and Beauchemin have exited stage left, this blue line is dodgy.  There's legend Scott Niedermayer, but past they, yuck.  Wiz is up to his usual tricks, being a fan favorite while not being all that good, and Ryan Whitney shows flashes of being a thing, and then shows flashes of being The Thing.  There's goals to be found here.  In net, neither Hiller or Giguere are creating a breeze between anyone's legs, with GAA's both around 3.00, though that could have something to do with the suspect defensive corps.  Oh, and Giggy is bellyaching about being a backup.  Good times.  Giguere has been in net for the last two wins, so he'll probably get the start today.

Do I need to say anything about the Hawks?  Right now, they're groin-grabbingly good.  That's all there is to say.  If they come out with a top effort, they should sweep this team aside.  And I'd love it, because as you've read here before, I lived in LA and visited The Pond to support The Men of Four Feathers, and going there as an opposing fan is an insufferable experience.  But the Hawks so rarely play well out there, so this will not be easy.

Go Hawks.

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.

I’m thinking the ’Hawks win 4-2

by asglass on Nov 27, 2009 1:38 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

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!

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.

by ChicoMaki on Nov 27, 2009 1:44 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

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!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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).

by Matthew Dirt on Nov 27, 2009 4:38 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

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.

Canadian Hawks = 15

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.

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…
