Flash Before My Eyes, Now It's Time To Die: Bolts at Hawks Preview/Gamethread/Sewing Circle

Tampa Bay Lightning at Chicago Blackhawks, Dec 13, 2009 6:00 PM CST


 

Lightninggggg_medium  vs. Blackhawks-logo_medium
GAMETIME:  6pm
TV/RADIO:  WGN for both
Call of Ktulu:  Raw Charge

Just score.  Lots of goals.  You can even give up lots, but just score.  Just so we can stop creeping towards worry.  Just so we can feel like there's no problem.  Just so we can start thinking about opening up a division lead again.

Anyway, the Hawks couldn't ask for too much better of an opponent to break out against then Tampa, and that's simply because word is they'll start the very mediocre Mike Smith instead of suddenly-studly Antero Niittymaki.  Nitty has been a wall this season, rocking a 2.14 GAA and .932 SV% so it'll be a challenge if the Hawks get a look at him.  Not so much Smith, who's getting whiplash from looking behind him so often.  In front of him, there is prized rookie Victor Hedman, but he's a rookie who can be exposed.  Matt Walker is actually having a very decent season, but water seeks its own level eventually, and this is Matt Walker.  Past that, we've roast Mattias Ohlund before, and Andrej Meszaros is around just to see if you can spell his name (which I may not have done correctly).

Coach Q is fucking with the lines again, even though the latest concoction has thrown 81 shots at opponents the past two games.  Rumblings are that it's Sharp with Hossa and Ladd, which makes no fucking sense.  Sharp and Hossa will drift to the scoring areas and wait for no one to pass them the puck.  Ladd will get in front and wait for shots that Sharp and Hossa are waiting to take.  Whatever.  Daydream Nation and Brouwer, which means Versteeg and Buff are on the 3rd line, which doesn't really make that the checking line.  Although there's a good chance John Madden might knife Versteeg the first time he tries to wade through four Lightning players at the blue line.  Maybe that'll learn him.

Either way, this is a team the Hawks should roll over at home.  But they haven't rolled anyone over at home all season.  So who knows?  Anyway, vamos!

Awesome

Ironically “One” just came up on my random player.

If a particular line scores more than 3 goals tonight, (or ever), they should be referred to as Damage, Inc.

Oddly, every time I post one starter before Tocchet decides the starter, the other gets named starter.

I’ll go with Kaner with the trick as he ends up hitting the net tonight. A little ’I’m a better 1st overall than you’ to Stamkos.

Hmmm

Sharp and Hossa will drift to the scoring areas and wait for no one to pass them the puck.

Does that mean Daydream Nation will be passing the puck back and forth looking for someone to shoot?

Amazing how things can change
Just score. Lots of goals. You can even give up lots, but just score. Just so we can stop creeping towards worry. Just so we can feel like there’s no problem.

Wasn’ t this the opposite of what was happening at the beginning of the season? Now our goaltending is solid but our offence is, quite frankly, offensive.

Interested to see how long Q sticks with the Sharp and Hossa combination as I’m taking the under at about 4 shifts into the 2nd period, especially if the score is not in the ‘Hawks favour. Wouldn’t mind seeing Niemi in goal either as it is the Lightning after all and with our defence they should be able to shut down the one line in Tampa (Lecavalier-St. Louis- Stamkos). Please score early and often….please….I beg all of you.

Yah, after losing to the Bucs the season looked bleak but they’ve turned it around quite nicely. Happy for Rodgers and all he had to contend with last season and this year in the 2 games with the Vikings, who I think the Packers can give a hard time if they were to meet in the playoffs.
In the Saints or Colts class? No. Imagine if both those teams go 18-0 and end up in the Super Bowl, what a game that would be.

if the Vikes were to lose on the Super Bowl. I m not sure they have enough for N.O. or Colts. But more importantly, if the Vikes shoot their load by losing to the Pack this year, I might have to start taking pills with my beer.

I agree, Indy-N.O. would be a great game if both are undefeated.

Where is the best place to get tickets for a game??

4 or 6 together for Dec. 27th?? $100 for high 300 level corners is extreme………..
Where are the deals at?

by dkdan on Dec 13, 2009 6:55 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

It's hard

to get 6 together but you can get 4 together on the day of a game by going to the Ticket Exchange on the official Blackhawks Ticektmaster website. There may be some affordable tickets for that game on there now, but the best prices are usually found on the day of the game as people get more desperate to unload their tickets.

The other good thing to do is just keep checking Craigslist. Sometimes you’ll find pretty good deals there, but during Christmas season the prices are usually a little inflated because people are buying them as gifts. So the best thing to do is just look on a pretty regular basis until you find a good deal.

After that it’s Stub Hub, but even if you find a good deal the fees will piss you off. But their ticket pickup location is really convenient on Randolph right around Morgan or Racine.

One guy

Takes runs at Kane, Toews, and Ladd. Knocks Kane out of the game. We now have a 3 goal lead, and the Bolts PP can’t find the back of the net to save their lives. This is when you take runs at Vinny and The Precious One.

why are so many people chirping during this game? do they somehow think it’s a sign of respect for a dominate Hawks performance?

Shoulda been Toews.

Still going with Toews

That hit on Smaby and resulting penalty (although denying us 2 minutes of being able to draw blood) rocked.

3 shutouts in 8 games? And it was merely a minute away from being 4! Niemi is proving to be quite the goaltender.

Anderchuck? Sounded like an old Bear like Butkus giving senseless insight and grunting. I think he was drunk.

That’s unfortunate because I usually enjoy listening to the Chief on the Lightning broadcasts.

pitt being a close second

"...but the devil lives inside this kid, I swear it. It rises out of him in a mist, this baby-faced defiant wrathful version of Pat Kane, escapes his bodily confines to perform satanic miracles all over the offensive zone. The only thing more fearsome than that assist was the keep-in preceding it. The only thing more unholy than his face is his black magic." GMH

i was referring to Calgary didnt see

The av game. Anti-goal looks like a better goalie. Moves quicker post to post. Doesn’t bail to his knees when, well, whenever and boots rebounds way out of the scoring zone. Maybe I’m just high on his 3 shutouts in what 8 starts? And that Calgary game was a blowout.

Who do you feel better with in a 1 goal lead for the Hawks with 10 minutes left?

I think they gave Barker a star just to make him feel better. It has to be the reason.

We were about 4 inches away

from 6-0, as two got stolen off the goal line.

Also the highlights on NHL network (an HD channel) are the non-HD broadcast from WGN. Fucktards. NHL on the Fly could be a great show if it didn’t have high-school AV dept production values.

by Scott13 on Dec 13, 2009 9:02 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

4 inches nothing

That was like 1-1/2 -2.

On a side note I agree about the NHL on the Fly thing. SHiver.

NHL on the Fly needs to be in HD. They need to take lessons from the MLB Network, because the stuff they do during the regular season is awesome. Live look in, great analysis, and all in crystal clear HD

more proof, learned the hard way by calgary and the canucks, the goon strategy doesn’t work against this team. unless, of course, it removes players from the ice. then it might.
