One More Special Message To Go...: Hawks at Kings Preview/Gamethread/Yoga Class

PERSIANS TO OUR SPARTANS: LIfe In Hockeywood, Battle of California
The Hawks long trip comes to an end where so many long journeys end, downtown LA. We were all disappointed by yesterday's effort, and it sounded like the team was too, so I'd expect some more jump for the gun tonight. Or they'll have one eye on the exit and their own beds and mail this one and get proper tonked. Aren't I being committal? Niemi will get the start tonight, and if he plays like his last start, then the Hawks will finish this trip 5-1-0 and no one is going to complain about that in the least.
After a great start, the Kings are starting to choke on the thin air of the top of the standings. Though they only sit four points behind the Hawks, they've played two more games and have lost three of four, including their last effort where they were pretty much erased by the Canuckleheads. Anze Kopitar was leading the league in scoring, but then stalled on 33 points for eight games, and when he's not scoring this team isn't anywhere near as threatening. Ryan Smyth's injury has been a problem, as Kopitar is not getting the space Captain Canada would create for him. They've tried moving Teddy Purcell up to the top line to provide the same service, but it hasn't worked yet. Don't be shocked if Dustin Brown makes his way to the top line at some point, maybe even tonight. The Kings might also be without Jarrett Stoll and Rob Scuderi. Michal Handzus as a #2 center, everyone.
One player to watch is Drew Doughty. He's got 20 points from the blue line, is good size and an excellent skater. Also, Jonathan Quick has given us problems in the past, though the Hawks have managed to beat him the last three times they've faced him. So that's cool, but those were all at home. The Hawks seemingly never, ever play well at Staples. The last time they won there was still a loss, when they blew a 5-1 3rd period lead two years ago before Sharp-shooter saved some real embarrassment in OT. Last year the Hawks dropped two 5-2 scores, and this is also where they gave up 9 on New Year's Day 2008. Quite frankly, a Saturday night can be ruined by that fucking train horn and Randy Newman. The Kings are hurting, are not playing well, and are there for the taking. We know the Hawks are looking forward to the ride home, but after yesterday, they owe themselves a balls-out effort to close out the trip on a high.
Down with the Kings.

I'd like to see them take this one
It’d be nice to get Q his 500th, and then there can be a big celebration when they return.
In other news, I’m a total sucker, and my son is spoiled rotten. Went to a craft fair today (don’t laugh like Hubby did – I’m not that kinda girl, but I needed to meet a friend) and lo and behold there was a sports memorabilia stand. So I picked up a signed Toews winter classic puck, framed with a pic and everything.
Oh, they also had these cool throw pillows with a cut out spot in the center to put your beer bottle! Insulated and everything!
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
hee hee
yeah, I guess I forget my audience. Do you think “throw pillows” was too much? But seriously, cold beer in a pillow? What could be better? :)
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
ummmmmmm
a beer can that is made out of a pillow so when u finally pass out there is a 10% chance you will land on the pillow rather than a puddle of puke… i dunno
wouldn't a padded toilet seat be better?

I have passed out in several locations
park benches, bathroom floors, bathtubs, middle of the football field when I was in college, etceteras. Anything padded in the bathroom would have prevented a concussion or two.

Do not remind me of that game. Worse than the embarrassing scoreline was the loss of Future-Captain Marvel for that painful, painful month. I still haven’t forgiven Visnovsky for that check.
I went to that game

"I Haaaate L.A.....I Hate it"
There was a time that I actually liked L.A. but when the “King of Kings” Gretzky left it made it real easy to hate them once again. Since then they’ve changed jerseys every year, it seems, to make up for the lost sales since the Great One’s departure. Go L.A.
May Niemi be the nemesis to the bitches of Hollywood and stone them colder than the reviews for ‘New Moon’. Toews is ready for another 2-goal game and should have vengence on his mind after New Year’s Day 2008.
After yesterday’s PK debacle the ’Hawks have dropped to 9th in the league on the PK at 83%. While the PP is ranked 12th at 20.9%. Go figure.
Let’s make this an excellent road trip and go 5-1.
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!!!

And they were awesome even before that
I saw them play “Among the Living” in its entirety with the proper lineup for that record in Mokena a couple years ago. I drank a lot that night.
Was it you who suggested “Madhouse” as the hit-the-ice song? Because that was an excellent call. I’d also like to hear their cover of “Got The Time” played during late game timeouts. Oh, and Charlie Benante lives here in town.

Madhouse was my suggestion
I would love for them to use either version, although I am partial to Bush. Indians would make a great pump-up song for the special teams, although Big Fat would work for the PK as well.

Love to have any of those songs or Madhouse in the fray. No other band from that era can still tear my ears off like Among The Living or Spreading The Disease.
"Call Detroit, tell dem... BULLSHIT!"
Anthrax love.
INDIANS! Wow! What a great suggestion. I have not thought of that song for a long time. “Among The Living” definitely an underrated album in the history of rock/metal. Let’s give the boys a nice warm welcome when they come back Tuesday night.
Victim was found murdered by a Chelsea Dagger.
Trust the Q
Even though it looks odd to us, we don’t know what happened at the morning skate, what went on in team discussions, or if Niemmi has a cold. There’s a lot that’s influencing the coach’s choice. We need to trust him on this one.
Of course, he’s probably just going with his gut.

first period stats
Shots 7-4 (although, as John and Troy point out, the Kings haven’t hit the net on several glorious opportunities)
Hits 9-18 (… a bit generous, Buff has 3 hits for us, Greene 3 for them — including a big one on Versteeg)
Kings have 6 giveaways
Faceoffs 36%-64% (Madden is abysmal right now at 0-6)
Meh.
The ’Hawks definitely gave the Queens a lot of chances that period (or so it seemed) but only gave up 4 shots.
The ’Hawks definitely need to shoot the puck more as Quick looks to be fighting the puck a little right now.

September 26, 2007 The day a Franchise was reborn.
true
but even a slight hip check or something to slow him down could have bought a second for Seabrook to get over more… just kind of a sloppy play all around
I thought...
…Keith made a decent poke check rather than take the body, but the trailer was fortuitously able to just keep the puck in the zone. The Hakws needed either Keith to break up the return pass, Seebs to make a quick read and motor back in front (not sure if he coulda got there), or Huey to bail ’em out. None of those happened.
So, I felt it was kinda flukey. If Keith doesn’t make the poke, it’s a conventional “carry down the right boards” play.
Biscuit not putting on the body didn't help either.

Yes, off...
…meaning he’s only better than 80-90% of the guys out there.
29 minutes against Anaheim, another 28:38 last night. His offense this year has led Q to put him on #1 PP. I think Q may be asking too much of him, with the result being a modest deterioration all-round the last couple games.
Keith and Seebs need more rest during blow-outs, or the Hawks’ll regret it down the road. Some missed opportunities on this trip.
Meanwhile, Soup seems a bit ticked about not getting #1 PP time all of a sudden. Good, becuase this trend brings the ugly $7.1 million issue back up.
I though Campbell played like someone with something to prove last night, which he should. Aggressive pinching and activity in the offensive end (BTW- best to have Madden out there for these forays, as he can be in a scramble behind the other team’s net, only to be beamed, moments later, back to the Hawks blue line to cover for a pinchng d-man and defuse a threat.)

Keith has really been struggling these last few games.
seabs just bailed him out on a 2-on-1 after Keith gave it away in the offensive zone
meanwhile, Quick is looking sharpish
My feelings...
Sonny: You think Wes Keith is God, don’t you.
Donald Me: No, not God, Just an ordinary man. Maybe a little ahead of his time, but just an ordinary man.
Sonny: Wes is an asshole. Keith has really been struggling these last few games.

Matthew Dirt, how can you not have heard of an obscure Canadian trophy that also happens to be the oldest trophy in football?
No way Montréal wins. They’re the better team in every way, but the day the Als win a Grey Cup is the day the Maple Leafs turn their franchise around and start winning.
In case you haven’t noticed the Leafs have won a couple in a row and are (if you can believe it) 8 points out of a playoffs spot so with that I’m taking the Alouettes tomorrow.
