It’s always nice to see this guy. I watched him and his brothers finish 1-2-3 in PIM when they played in the ECHL

Wish I was at the Whirlaway.
That sounds like a great time! Wish I knew about it sooner. Almost gametime and a bar in Logan Park beats the hell out of the high prices at Wild Wings. I will kind of miss Gretz’s sour lemon face that he makes at every penalty call.

Those were some fun games last year.
I can’t help but feel last year’s domination coupled with the absence of our concussed captain and friends will lead to a letdown tonight.
Still, I have hope. I’m going with Sharp as my Pick to Click tonight. He has read the online criticism of his play the past few days. He is hurt. He is ready to prove the unwashed masses wrong.
I be on my green like Irish Spring.

I'm looking at Versteeg!
Though without Gretzky there to flash his vag and yell sweet nothings at Versteeg! between whistles this year I may be wrong.

My vote is for Sharp.
Bold prediction: Madden finally buries a SHG.
Other Bold Prediction: We actually score on the PP.

madden and shorties
Whenever he gets shorty chances, he always looks like he’s thinking something like “Too old for this shit wtf are these kids making me do”… or at least that was my impression til I found out he holds the Devils’ franchise record for most shorties or something, so now that’s one of the things I’m waiting to happen.
If he doesn’t score on a shorty tonight, can I blame you for it? :P

Madden will never be too old to kill penalties — he was engineered for this purpose in life.
Nope, that’s why it’s a Bold Prediction, gahaha.

I’m more likely to think VERSTEEG! will score a shortie first. He may not be the most conventional of penalty killers, but he puts more pressure on opposing goalies shorthanded than the Hawks have with the PP so far.

Vandy, Langer, Vrbata, Aucoin … are those four the only ex-Hawks on the roster for Phoenix? There could be some interesting drinking games tonight.

Time to take this dog for a walk
Or roll up a newspaper and beat him with it, either way this is a game where the Hawks meet an opponent that they dominated last year and should do so tonight. Eventhough Bryzgalov played last night I fully expect him to be the master of the mesh house again tonight, although if Tippett looks at his stats from last year against the Hawks he may think otherwise.
Look for a big game from Versteeg and timley contributions from Kane and Sharp. Don’t be suprised if Seabrook notches one tonight as I got a feelin’ that tonight’s going to be his night. Huet will be solid as the deserted dogs don’t posses much of an offensive attack.
Could we see a vaunted attack from the PP? They’ve had a week to fix it so it should be O.K., right? Look for ‘the frog crusher’ Ladd to get his due on the man-advantage tonight for maybe, just maybe Torchetti and Quenneville have finally realized that Kopecky doesn’t belong on the Ice Hogs power-play unit let alone the Hawks.

good sign?
For what it’s worth, one of Huet’s three shutouts last season was in the desert. It was the one where Walker KO’d Jovo and then Fedorek tried to run Huet behind the goal when it was 6-0. Oh, and Burish was a +4 in that game. Good times, good times.

More financial troubles?
Looks like the Coyotes, Predators, and Islanders have more company in terms of franchises in financial disarray. According to fanhouse.com the Jackets have reportedly lost close to $12 million last season and that’s with them making the playoffs last year. Which begs the question, how long does the NHL continue to operate under a capped system when there are teams losing money that are keeping the big spenders cap ceiling form increasing? Interesting to see what happens in 2011. Does it go the MLB route? Or does the NHL go the NFL route?

i'm not too familiar with the inner workings of sports leagues
but wouldn’t eliminating the capped system hurt the money losing teams as player salaries would increase?

I feel like this is
the first game where we’re really going to feel the absence of Eager and Burish. We didn’t just beat them last year we took their manhood and if they’ve got any pride they should want revenge. Buff and Brouwer are going to have to step up tonight. Brouwer was kind of flat in the Montreal game, and Seabrook was hesitant to get physical during that scrum in front of the net where the Habs went after Keith. He may be a little trigger shy with that recent concussion. It would also be nice to see Frazier be the mean one that he was at times last year, he’s overdue for a reason to notice him.

4-on-3 PP to start the 2nd could we see a goal? They only way they will is if they actually battle for the puck and have some support. Kane vs. 2 defencemen isn’t going to work as now I can see why Kopecky is on the PP.
Overall 1st period was Guh. Had a bad feeling about this game due to the father and son’s trip which had been a disaster for other teams, so why would the Hawks be any different?

All that talk last year about Campbell's value quarterbacking the PP....
….and look at how terrible it is. They have a rush, he carries it in, doesn’t get a shot while the forwards are waiting to be sprung, loses the puck behind the goal line, Coyotes clear the zone because he’s out of position and they have to start the rush all over again.
Yeah, I blame him.

He does dump it in. It’s the forwards that have no urgency to retrieve the puck as the puck support ont he PP has been dreadful.

I swear I counted at least a dozen times tonight where Campbell kept the puck instead of dumping it, skated to the boards by the circle, and promptly turned it over.

That was Versteeg for most of the night who still insists in carrying in the puck instead on dumping it in. Outside of his goal Versteeg was annoying to say the least tonight but at least there was effort from Versteeg unlike many others on the Hawks tonight.

In November? I hardly doubt that. If Bolland is that seriously hurt, as many on here claim, then he wouldn’t be playing. The Hawks wouldn’t jeopardize any further injury just to take Toews place in the 14th game of the season.

i think we're just trying to figure out what's going on with him
There was obviously something wrong by the third period— like I said, he was taken off special teams and Versteeg started taking his FOs. Later in the period (my friend was watching the stats like a hawk as neither of us had the feed), Bolland started missing shifts as well.
by chiblackhawks on Nov 5, 2009 10:54 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Then he must have re-aggravated his back injury tonight and will have to be re-evaluated tomorrow to see if his condition is still the same.
With that said, I hardly doubt that if he was injured he would still be playing just to take Toews place as it would make no sense to put him out there just to make it worse for 2pts. in November.

Campbell was terrible tonight
Go back and watch the 2nd and 3rd goals and see how flatfooted and out of position Soupy is on both goals. A couple other times he almost got burned by pinching up too far in the offensive zone. I don’t think Q needs to do anything too drastic, I just think that Soupy had a lousy game. PP is still funny like a fuckin’ clown’s shoes and there is no urgency at all displayed by either line especially in the transition game. The last PP at the end of the 2nd per. looked o.k.

B) When it comes to turnovers you might want to point the finger at Barker instead of Campbell all the time. Just sayin’. Don’t mind the 2 out there especially when the Hawks are down 2 goals as early as they were. When leading late in the 3rd? No, but when trailing? Yes.

On Campbell
No, not a good game for Campbell. Made a few bad passes, did turnover the puck and did not take care of his man on a few occasions, one ending in a goal. He also got completely out skated on a rush that almost ended in a 2 on 0. Campbell is not worth his paycheck. I am shocked to read comments that Campbell is superior in any way over Keith. (Though, for the most part Campbell has been playing better this year)
Once the Hawks have Hossa, Toews and Eager in the line-up again, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Bolland out for a few games.

I thought it was pretty ironic that he got caught NOT going down early. He came out of the net and challenged on a few plays and overall I thought he had a decent game.

0-6 on the power play, my god
Toews is out, Bolland certainly isn’t stepping up………I hope it is because he isn’t 100%. In fact, the Bolland, Ladd, Brouwer line was flat out invisible tonight.
Versteeg with the uber-whiff on the kane to dunc to steeg setup
Huet hot garbage on the first goal, and like a fish out of water on the third goal
Just a rage inducing loss overall
Plus side, Kopecky had a noticeably nice game, Kane with some fantastic playmaking as usual especially if Buff buries that rocket in the third

God I miss Eager
Seabrook and Hendry seemed to be the only people hitting tonight. And Brouwer a little. Just a lifeless game full of not trying. Someone needed to step up and be physical and put some life in that game and no one did. And there was a lot of bad play but Versteeg was just awful. And tomorrow when it’s Ebbett’s turn to go over the boards can we just play with four instead? I don’t understand why he’s getting more ice time than Frazier, who I thought had a good game in very limited minutes.
by Scott13 on Nov 5, 2009 10:47 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
And that might be the worst part that Hendry, a defenceman playing forward, was one of the Hawks better forwards tonight. Thought Byfuglien was a force in the 3rd as well to go along with Frasier and Kane.
Once Toews returns on Monday may this, hopefully, be the end of the massively-failed Ebbett experiment. He doesn’t play a physical game, wins face-offs, and skate well enough to be a constant threat.
Diagrams are needed to show Versteeg how to shoot the puck in the offensive zone as he often resembles Kovalev in that he thinks that he can go 1-on-4 all the time.
