Don't Forget: Your SPG Picks
It's been a long time coming - but it's finally here. Ben Eager will be re-joining the team tonight making the fourth line look a little bit more like we're used to seeing.. and also Toews is playing. Of course - Bolland is sitting out the game (good move) meaning the lines are all kinds of crazy. According to Sassone - the expected lines are:
Sharp - Toews - Byfuglien
Ladd - Versteeg - Kane
Kopecky - Madden - Brouwer
Eager - Fraser - Ebbett
No idea why Q would play both Ebbett and Versteeg out of position but he gets paid to run a hockey team and I get paid to write a blog.. so we'll both live up to our ends of the bargain, he'll make line combinations and I'll criticize them because clearly, I know better.
The Kings are coming in after a lackluster performance against the Predators but are bringing in two players in the top-10 in points with Anze Kopitar and Ryan Smythe. Kopitar is of course the league leader in points and is still awaiting that trade to Chicago.
Kopitar's offense isn't the only reason the Kings are one of the hotter teams in the league. Their defense is keeping up their end of the deal. The Kings have the second lowest Shots Against/Game and Drew Doughty has 14 points, good enough for third overall in the league. Jonathan Quick has been solid in the net with a .900 SV% and 2.61 GAA. Of course their penalty kill sucks - but we are all quite familiar with the struggles of the Hawks power play. I just found out that only one of the Avs goals counted as a short-handed goal though.. so that's nice.
It'll be a great addition to get Toews and Eager back and it should be loud in the United Center tonight. It will be important to get as many points in this home stand before the annual circus trip but with every team except the Leafs playing great hockey right now it won't be the easiest task.

Kopitar is scary good.
Looking forward to a bigger, meaner fourth line effort tonight.
You still going to the game?
No..
I’m skipping this one – I’ll hopefully be back on Friday though. Won’t be in my usual seats though if I can pull it off..
juggle this;
If these are the lines, then I’d feel better throwing Ebb & Flow up on the second line with Versteeg, drop Buff down to the second line, throw Kane on up with Sharpie and Cap’n America. That leaves third line = Ladd Madden Brouwer, AKA the" fuck shit up line", and then a fourth line of Eags Kopecky Fraser, which I’m interested to see what Kopecky can do as a center despite Fraser’s domination of the faceoff circle the other night.
Of course I’m just a bumpkin from the southside who don’t know nothing.
In no particular order
- Goddman fucking shitbag 3rd-rate Versus again? I want to actually see the game, I thought that’s what McDonough was going to do for us. Fuck you, FUCK YOU!
- The lil’ Wayne picture is genius. I laughed quite hard.
- I’m actually excited about that Madden/Brouwer/Kopecky line. They had some good shifts in the Avs game and they could be fun to watch.
- Ebbett made me not hate him in the last game. Now we know what we’re going to get from Eager and Frazier so he’s going to have to make a point to give his best effort because Hendry has been physical and would be a good fit for those two line mates and too often Ebbett has been soft and well just soft.
- The Leafs/Wings game was on NHL Network the other night and the Leafs came to play and dominated the Wings that night, so they may give us a game.
- Fuck you Versus (and to a lesser extent DirecTV). If someone could help with a feed it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Replace Trent with Towes, and Sue with Jon Quick –
Toews: Score Chicago!
Jon Quick: Fuck! Such fuckin’ bullshit!
Toews: [Trent hits the instant replay] Now that was pretty Sue…
Quick: Man, don’t do the instant replay thing…
Toews: No way, you said it was fuckin’ bullshit.
Quick: Don’t do the fucking…
Toews: Well that’s why they put the instant replay in the fucking game! So you can see if it’s bullshit!
Quick: You’re unbelieveable.
Toews: Well you know something, I am unbelievable.

tickets for sunday night the 15th
Just wondering if anyone has a connection or knows someone who has an extra ticket or two for sunday’s game against san jose. My family bought me 2 tix and a plane ticket for jeremy roenick heritage night, and I would love to bring my neice as well. If anyone has anything let me know. Of course I’ll pay.
Lets Go Hawks!
Please keep the Kings to less than 3 tonight
Lets Go Hawks!
We're not afraid of no L.A. QUEENS!
Even with Kopitar and Smyth lighting up the scoreboard the Kings don’t posses much firepower and Quick isn’t what you call a top tier netminder. With that said though they’re playing with a lot of passion and success and a 6-1-2 record heading into this game would be a testament to that, so it should be a good one tonight.
Tazer is back and so should our PP which is 3-for-35 in last 8 games. Not to mention he gives the Hawks a bonifide #1 centreman something of which they sorely lacked the last 6 games without Toews. Eager’s return should once again revive the dormant 4th line and maybe, just maybe we’ll see a 4-line offensive attack from the Hawks tonight. Bolland being out is a bonus and maybe the Hawks upper management are listening to the doctors. May an operation to cure Bolland’s back be in the near future.
Congratulations are in order to Yzerman, Brett Hull, Robitaille, Leetch, and Lamarello on entering the Hockey Hall of Fame.
LET’S GO HAWKS!!!

It's official
After the pregame skate, announced scratches were Hendry and Bolland. Toews and Eager dressed, skated and will play.
The Cap’n looked sharpish with the puckhandling in the skate from what I could see. Time will tell.

His version of creating offense
Lets Go Hawks!
couple of bad passes in their own zone
two in the last few minutes – good job on huet’s end
angry bird is angry .
Who's that number 19 on the Hawks?
Some rookie they brought up? I’ve never seen him before.
Chicagoan in the Lou.
I think it's Troy Murray.

That many times lucky? He is arguably one of the greatest players ever to play this game and deserves a little respect.
As for luckiest players ever you might want to look towards Robitaille, you know Lucky Luc.

I believe some people need to get a
new sarcasm detector.
1st period
-Good action but no results but if the Hawks continue to create more chances than give away they should be in good shape.
-Sharpie has 11 goals in his past 12 games against the Kings so maybe he is good for one in the 2nd.
-Toews looked sharp out there as well as Eager…good to see.
-Carissa Thompson is pretty fucking hot.

Really nice pass from Brouwer on that Madden goal.
Don’t usually see those nifty passes from Troy as much as the bone-crunching hits.

Damn, Ebbet had Quick beat, just couldn't pull the trigger.
Beautiful pass by Kane to set it up as well.
"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!!!"
Nice hustle from Sharpie to earn a PP.
Now whether getting a PP is a good or bad thing is debatable.
"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!!!"
Powerplay!
with kane playing hide and seek behind the net and kopecky jamming it on the net until someone comes on him we’re bound to score!
They brought their fuckin' TOYS with 'em!
I don't really understand VERSTEEG! and Kaner on the same line...
…it’s been pointed out before, but neither seem to know what to do after they deke the entire opposing team into submission. Kane and Sharp should really be together (‘specially with Shooter’s invisibility so far), and VERSTEEG! seems to bring the best out of Buff.
Hope this gets figured out soon, because Hossa is gonna come back and the juggling will start all over again.
2nd period
- Little better of a period from the Hawks but still are tied 1-1.
- PP to start as NOW would be a good time for the Hawks to net one.
- Huet solid once again and it would be nice if the Hawks can get him this one.
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!!!

Cause this isn’t what I remember our PP looked like.

Our captain comes and so does our PP, coincedence maybe? I think not.

has looked in about two weeks. refreshing to see solid play all around. Lets keep this going. Can’t wait to see Hossa with this squad.
Solid game from Barker tonight as he has had no turnovers and has had a couple chances offensively. Good game for him.

Pepsi Performer of the Night (on NHL network) is...
Troy Brouwer. And no I didn’t make this up either as he really is the Pepsi performer of the night.
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!!!
there was only 1 NHL game tonight
just to keep things in perspective.
But, he did play great
Second City Hockey
Well I bit the bullet and
got a last minute ticket so I wouldn’t have to watch on the internet. I got a 100 level for way under face so you have to take it, but I sat next to the “go dude” guy and in front of the know it all who thinks Toews is pronounced “toes”. It was my first bad 100 level experience out of about a dozen times though, so I can’t complain.
Brouwer had his best game in a while and I thought that before his sick tip in. It won’t show on the scoresheet but he really made the Madden goal. As the Queens were moving the puck out of their zone Brouwer finished his check and crushed his guy. They were both late getting back to center after the hit, with Brouwer first and he caught the feed from the Hawks defense coming out of our own zone with a little space that he generated from the body play and both defenders moved to him while he moved the puck to an open Madden streaking up the wing and BOOM, you know the rest.
Love having Eager back. They had really short shifts but I love it when he and Frazier are out there. Eager looked like the old Eager just looking to drive his shoulder into everyone. He may have been tentative to drop the gloves first game back from a head scrambler because he didn’t get too involved in the post whistle scrums, but Frazier was in there mixing it up with anyone who wanted some and the laugh on Eager’s face was just as much fun as watching him cream people.
On the defensive end I know Keith had two assists but he and Cambell had bad games in their own end (at the risk of setting this blog completely on fire). And Barker was aggressive in his own end and used his big frame well while Seabrook continues to make me worship him by thumping everything that came near him.
Toews, what can you say other than they didn’t even make him one of the three stars of the game. Not that it really matters but you’d think that the Captain’s return, a PP goal and his line generating both PP goals would warrant a “how ya doing” but I guess someone’s on the take. They did give Brouwer top star which was well earned.
Someone on the Queens (not sure which one) creamed Huet and the no call was bullshit. The guy lowered his shoulder and pushed it through the hit. The old Q, up a couple of goals, would have sent some combination of Frazier, Burish, Eager, Brouwer out there but instead he responded with the Toews line and while Buf did get one big hit after that it didn’t look like the team went out to protect their goaltender. Huet absolutely rescued the D a couple times tonight and he deserved better than that.
Speaking of which remember when we kept saying that one of these days Huet has to bail out the D when you’ve got no reason to expect him to? Well here you go.
Seeing Kane on the puck, live, up close and in person is even more amazing than on tv. I still have to get around to writing my “I take it all back kid” about how little I thought of him last year, but not tonight I’ve taken up enough space.
The hawks have been doing lots of 100 level specials
usually the student 1/2 price tickets noon at game day. Brings them around $100 each.
not bad, except you can only get 1 per student ID. Which screws you over if you wanna get a pair and you both cant goto the box office to buy them.
I get the feeling theyre going to do whatever they can to keep the sellout streak going…..it is still going right? I dont even know.
Second City Hockey
on a side note
Aparently you can only fit 10 letters on a NHL.com custom jersey.
And so I end up with this:
Second City Hockey
Oh Captain, my captain
Great to Toews back out there again as he was his dominate self once again as it was no coincedence that the clown shoes refered to as the PP righted itself back into the form we’re accustomed to in going 2 for 3. Not to mention his presence was felt at the dot where he went 13 for 20 (65%) to lead all centremen and had 19:09 of ice-time. Talk about welcome back.
John Madden on Toews:
“His presence, the way he plays the game, the way he competes every shift, that’s why he’s the captain. He’s not very vocal. He just leads by the way he plays, by example. It’s contagious. If we just follow along and compete as hard as he does, everybody will be all right.”Pretty high praise indeed. Kind of reminds of Steve Yzerman doesn’t it? What a career he has in store and hopefully, like Yzerman, it starts and ends in one spot.
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!!!
who knew?
All we needed was a few power plays to break the game wide open.
Hell of a game by Brouwer, and glad to see Ebbett popping his cherry as well.
Slowly but surely, Huet is getting his stats realigned. He now has the 8th best GAA in the league, and the SV% will rise with sustained excellence. Besides that, though, I’m super impressed with the defense. 18 shots allowed tonight. First overall in team defense and shot differential. Second on the PK. Awesome.
