Sharp Definately needs to be at center
I mean he was on my fantasy team and for the first month I could only play him at center because yahoo sports thought it was his position.

Great, compelling premise for that argument.

I still think
that Kane moving back to RW with Versteeg and Buff is better than Versteeg with Sharp and Buff on his wings……..at least offensively speaking.

I don't expect
These lines to be like that by the 2nd period. I am sure he will shuffle them unless the Hawks somehow come out firing on all cylinders.

I have been
disappointed with Sharp all season, and to be honest, his play right now could probably use a shake-up. Although I know Versteeg isn’t much different, Sharp’s defensive play has slid along with his production. I think that positionally Sharp is a better center, but Versteeg right now actually makes sense to me over him.

How could you have been upset with Sharp all season?
His start was amazing. Mind you he’s tailed off, but he was playing impressively at the beginning of the season.

From fifth feather
…that all depends on Sharp’s willingness to play center and the more they try to force-feed Versteeg as a pivot, the more it seems like Sharp would rather pose naked on the hood of an airplane than play center.
Haha! Great. Seriously though Shooter, just play the damn position…or do you want us to stay out of your way, because we don’t want to pay, so we should listen to what you say?

It's amazing really...
I’ve watched a fair amount of BJ games this year, and they always look like theyre on their heels. Ken Hitchcock is always pissed, and losing their most reliable D-man isnt gonna help that situation one bit.
His start was strong, but I think “everyone and their mother knows” that Sharp has been a ghost, and needs to be shipped out of town in return for a #2 center and to make cap room while his stock is still somewhat high.
PS- Is every headline a song title now?

Yes, let’s get rid of a player that can score close to 30 goals a season and can play all forward positions in all situations that has the knack of scoring huge goals at key times throughout the season. Oh, did I mention that a $3.9 million per season he remains one of the best bargains in the NHL during the cap era. That’s right a whole $900,000 more than Byfuglien, and $875,000 more than Versteeg and Barker who are 3 players that hold significantly less value to the team. But let’s trade him anyways. Guh.

Nice preview, as always
I’m less concerned with who’s centering the second line than with who’s backchecking on that line.
Why not keep Kane on line #1 and put Hossa on line #2?
Sharp is streaky- it’s his nature.
Is Huey plaing tonight? Gotta get my ‘Boo’ on for him and Soupy. What? They’ve been good, but I have very high standards.

The first game back from a long road trip against a divisional rival the hawks have yet to play which also happens to the unveiling of the new third jerseys just has to be on versus. Now I have to watch it online and the feed is going to be all choppy and I won’t be able to tell where the puck is because I refuse to pause my porn torrents.

These games always do that to me. We’ll beat San Jose, Vancouver, and Colorado, but then get a little sleepy and complacent with Phoenix, Nashville, and L.A. The (constantly changing) lines will work just fine if everybody shows up to play for 60 minutes… or often just 20.

A mediocre-at-best team who has been playing poorly lately, has lots of injuries, and plays the trap is starting their backup goalie against us. So that means he’s gonna stand on his head and shut us out because thats the way they seem to go.

absence makes the heart grow fonder
especially when that absence is marked by a 4-1-1 record on the road trip. Goddamn I’m happy to be going back to the UC tonight, though. The Blue Jackets aren’t that good defensively this season, and they could be reeling from the loss of Klesla. I think if Seabrook and Keith can handle the Nash line tonight, this team should be fine.

B's sign Savard to a 7-year deal worth $30 million
Not bad of a deal for Boston and Savard. Which brings me to Keith, maybe Stan see this deal and decides to restructure his deal instead of the reported 13-year deal worth $6 million per season. Then again, maybe not.

how does a deal for a 70+ point per year, 32 year old center set the market for a 26 year old top 15 Dman?
"If you're scared, go buy a dog" - Stacey King
by hackerar on Dec 1, 2009 5:39 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Depends on the structure of the deal
On what year does Savard’s deal start to decline? How old will he be when it does? What’s the maximum he’ll make in one year? It just all depends on how it’s structured on the top end. Both deals are aimed to keep their top players in the fold for the duration of their career. As the previous deals of Ovechkin, Zetterburgh, and Hossa it’s not so much the position but rather the importance of each player to their team that sets the value of each player’s contract. Don’t be suprised if Chara receives a similar deal to Savard’s in the not-to-distant future.

According to Bob McKenzie
The Savard deal breaks down like this: $7M, $7M, $6.5M, $5M, $1.5M, $525K, $525K.

I understand
how front loading a deal could be advantageous for the hawks. But these front-loaded deals are becoming pretty common for star players, if Bowman hadn’t thought about doing it until he saw Savard’s deal, we need a new GM.

It’s something you see a 1000 times during a season ( a player slashing his stick against the post) but never do you see him actually connect the goaltender while doing it. Initially it was funny, but when it was apparent that Vokoun wasn’t getting up then it really wasn’t. Hope he’s O.K. Freaky things tend to happen to the Panthers.

Are the Hawks flat because they’re tired, or do you think it’s because they’re adjusting to Hossa?
I know, I know, I’m not saying Hossa killed the win streak or anything like that. But adding a skater to your top two lines could, maybe, take a little getting used to.

I had the pleasure of seeing him shoot the puck during the 2nd intermission at a game. As soon as he stepped on the ice he slipped and flailed his way to center ice, before missing his shots and giving people the finger. One of the funniest things i’ve ever seen in my life. He would’ve loved the Blackhawks resurgence.

I think he was showing it during the shootout basically pulling a Cechmanek and trying to pump up his teammates. Begging them to score.

With every swing of his stick
He was saying “FUCK MY TEAM” any goalie that brings you to the 11th round of a shootout while only letting 2 go in, including the winner, deserves to have his team win it for him. But Huet was better :p

After Ladd’s attempt even Sopel looked like a better option.

Ladd was 1 for 2 prior to that attempt with the other being a post-ringer…he lost control, it happens. Personally I’ll take Ladd over another P.Sharp attempt.
career shootout %
Toews – 53%
Kane – 45%
Hossa – 36%
Sharp – 27%
Ladd – 1 for 2
Versteeg – 2 for 4

It was more of a laugh at Ladd’s misfortune more than anything. Ladd is a much better shooter than Kopecky than others the ‘Hawks had after him and was a good choice at the time, unfortunately his heriocs in the Avs’ game have now been overshadowed by his recent attempt tonight.

Did I not point that out?
not like I said he was 50%. One for two..what was unclear to you?
by Crease Monkey on Dec 2, 2009 4:59 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Sure, you pointed out that the sample size is ludicrously small, but you’re still using that ludicrously small sample to support an argument.
Here’s a statistic for you: a sample of “1 for 2” is 100% insignificant and doesn’t mean fuck all. What was unclear to you?

no actually I was simply stating an opinion. Not to support an “argument”, or stating it as fact…that’s what “personally I’ll take Ladd over another P.Sharp attempt” supports. Sharp’s career 27% isn’t very good (and incidentally is enough of a sample size to know that he isn’t very good at them). It’s not unlike people offering opinions on line formations…this is a blog in case you missed it. I happen to think Sharp should be moved down to #5 or 6 in the order behind Toews/Kane/Hossa/Versteeg and yes even perhaps Ladd. Just an opinion. Kind of like when one states that a given band is “insufferable garbage”. That isn’t a fact or even an educated opinion, nor based on any support…it’s just an opinion. Sure Ladd and Versteeg are more inexperienced, but you know, they need opportunities to prove that they aren’t better options. We know what Sharp is. He’s a 1 in 4 chance.
if you need further “support”, here’s PP’s Timo Seppa’s take
With two assets like Kane and Toews, it’s puzzling that Chicago hasn’t brought home more extra points in sudden death. Unfortunately, not only has Kane gone through a cold spell recently, but Chicago has also received exceptionally poor goaltending from Cristobal Huet (8 for 16 this season; .580 career save percentage). Chicago should give the likes of Kris Versteeg and Andrew Ladd a chance to prove if they might be better options than Marian Hossa (36.4%) and especially Patrick Sharp (27.8%).

and Congratulations to Q on the 500th victory, as only Toe Blake and Scotty Bowman have done it in quicker fashion.

Take a look at Mirtle's blog
“From The Rink” has listed the top 20 defensive defencemen in the league and it comes as no suprise that Duncan Keith is ranked #2 only behind Chris Pronger. Seabrook is ranked 11th and Niklas Hjlamarsson is ranked 16th on this list. Not on the list — Cam Barker.

Won’t see another one until after Christmas. At least he’s got that crowd favorite thing going for him, which is nice.

How come they have Hossa shooting first in the SO? I need my extra point.

Shooting first? Dunno. He shot second, after Toews; but he was the first to score. I’m not in the SPG thing, though, so I don’t know exactly what you mean.
