Scumbag Blues - Hawks 3, Blues 0

Wanna hear one of my favorite jokes, as originally told to me by a college roommate?
"What would you call Chicago if it sucked?"
"St. Louis."
That pretty much sums up my sentiment regarding the Hawks' division rivals after watching last night's game. The Hawks were all over the Blues from the get-go. Troy Brouwer finally dented the twine after one-timing a pass off of a cycle from Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane from the top of the left circle. Shortly thereafter Brian Campbell scored his first goal on North American soil on the power play, blasting a slapshot far-side past St. Louis goaltender Ty Conklin.
Even though during the second period the Blues mounted at least a half-assed attempt to get back into the game forcing Cristobal Huet to make some timely saves, the Hawks managed to extend the lead fresh after killing a penalty when the Unholy Alliance that is Kane-Toews-Hossa got thrown out there once the penalty had been killed. Hossa broke into the zone, and once again a low cycle ensued which somehow left Hossa alone between the hash marks to receive a pass from Toews which he buried.
From there on out, things got quite chippy, as cuntrags Barrett Jackman, BJ Crombeen, and Cam Janssens decided it was time to exact their pound of flesh since they clearly couldn't skate with the Hawks. Credit the Hawks for standing up for one another, as once again Kris Versteeg took on a much larger opponent in Jackman during one of the many extended sessions of slap-dick in the third. While it may earn him much respect in the dressing room, personally, I'd rather not have VERSTEEG!'s skillful hands be pounded to cinders on someone's face, or have his own face re-arranged should he be taking on anyone other than Kyle Turris. Cristobal Huet even nearly got into the act, as he skated out to the blue line and subtly motioned to Ty Conklin during a 5-on-5 dogpile that was the result of Janssens getting in Huet's grill. While I don't need fights to enjoy a game, a goalie battle would have certainly endeared Huet to the fans, and it would be one more thing I could check off my list of things I've seen live. Oh yeah, Hawks win again in shutout fashion.
Observations
- In spite of Campbell's goal, the power play is still fucking clown shoes.
- Kerry Fraser = Hockey Hochuli
- Hossa's backchecking has to be seen live to be believed. One cannot fathom the distance on the ice he covers in such short order to retrieve the puck from his own zone.
- Did I mention that Barret Jackman is a fuckhole?
With the tinted visor he becomes Darth Kaner, harnessing the power of the Dark Side to the tune of three assists.

Big Buff
Anyone else notice that on more than on occassion and in more than one period Buff was on the ice, actually skating, being agressive, i am not ready to get my hopes up. Also, not a surprise Hossa was clearly the best player on the ice last night
Anyone else notice someone posts this every other game lately
Could there be a pattern?
Chicagoan in the Lou.
I didn't see Huet gesture toward Conklin
But having the balls to set off the bomb that is Cam Janssen earns Huet more of my respect- especially since it almost was the final solution to the Brent Sopel problem.

You were great on the Blues thread

and by the way Seabrook played his best game of the year…..He was crushing people

Agreed.
Seabs played like a man possessed. Great game.
Buff’s Jekyll and Hyde routine seems to be every other game. Early this year is was good, bad, bad, bad, don’t give a shit, good, bad, mediocre, mediocre, oh shit I have a shot at the Olympics team??? good, good, good, bad, bad…. no more rambling. Great game by Buff never the less.
Glad to see Huet get a shut out too.

That opening joke is too good for a rim shot
it deserves a Bonham solo. Fucking hilarious!
Also, if the Toews/Kane cycle can continue to leave dat Horsa guy (or anyone else for that matter) wide the hell open in front of the net…there’s gonna be problems for the enemy. And, I love watching our team play keep away with the puck – it’s reached the comical level.

Nice wrap
Interesting point on a Huet goalie fight- that would have been the turning point for fans, particularly those yelling ‘SHOOT’ and ‘HIT EM EAGER!’
I was expecting the 3rd to be even a little more chippy than it was. Blues had no answers
Hossa's backchecking
It’s quite remarkable to watch live isn’t it? Seen it for many years here in Ottawa as it’s quite contagious throughout the team when your best player attacks the puck in the defensive zone like a tiger hunting down a sika deer. It’s ferocious!
Oh, and don’t look now but on The Copper & Blue they’re debating whether or not Khabibulin should be shelved for the season. Remember when some posted that if the ‘Hawks still had him they would’ve been undefeated? Unfortunately, one Hawks fan did post “Take Huet!” which isn’t suprising eventhough he’s 15-7-2 with a 2.09 GAA and a .913 SV%. Guess there is no pleasing some people is there.
Yup, the Blues are fuckwads but what did anyone expect from the perennial basement dwellers? Agree with Campbell in his post-game interview it’s something that has crept into the league again with shitbags like Cam Janssen and Todd Fedoruk taking shots at the other teams netminders when down late in the game. It’s unapologethic behaviour and the league needs to step in, but it won’t as usual.
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!!!

Hard to throw stones when we’ve seen Buff do the same thing. Ask a Vancouver fan.
I didn’t see any post-game interviews to hear the full story, but Huet’s shove looked like it was a breaking point thing- like Janssen had been doing little shit the entire game, which is Cam’s job.

Totally different circumstances when it comes to Byfuglien and the other 2. Byfuglien’s running over Luongo was a tone-setter for what was to possibly be a 1st round match-up as it was late March and there stood a great chance that these could, and eventually did, meet in the playoffs. The playoffs are the playoffs, you do what it takes to win.
Fedoruk’s actions were completely uncalled for as it’s 100% unlikely that the Lightning will ever reach the Finals this season. His total nonsensical behaviour was unjustifyable and should’ve been punished by the league. With Janssen you could give credit that he was just trying to set the tone for the rest of the season series but that would mean that he could think. So with that, I hardly doubt it was nothing more than frustration boiling over and decided to take a swipe at Huet. Once again don’t try to score and break the shutout, break the goaltender.

Thoughts on Huet
Guy next to me in the 300 level last night literally spent the entire game chanting 3 things:
1) Huet you suck!! Overrated, start Niemi!
2) SHOOOOOOOOOT!! No matter who had the puck
3) Campbell you suck!
Not joking, he didn’t say anything else.
I think with the Bears demise, the meatball has made their way over to the UC and think it’s fun to yell things.

…when I’m at the game. Seriously, I have that same guy yelling “SHOOOOOT!” behind me in sec 302. Better yet when he questions why a guy backs off a puck during a shift change.

Ah crap

I don’t want to hear that! I’m going to my first game in two seasons (living out of the state has contributed to my absence) on Jan. 3rd vs. the Ducks with my old man in the 300 level – and nothing pisses us off more than those kinda bags of douche.

While there are DB’s, it is without a doubt an enjoyable experience. I wouldn’t worry too much about it.
I was in a foul mood getting to the game last night because the abortion that was my ride on 290 to get there. Sitting next to the meatball who I’m sure was wearing a Jim Belushi tshirt under his sweater was just the cherry on top.

Oh I still ultimately enjoy it
especially going with knowledgeable, diehard fans (i.e. my Dad) but I was hoping against hope that we would avoid the douchebaggery of the neer-do-well Hawk fans who scream “SHOOOOOOOT!” and “FIIIIIIIIGHT!” and other such nonsensical bullshit. I was also hoping to win the Power Ball jackpot and run away with Kate Beckinsale too…looks like I have a better chance with the latter.

Blackberry usage
Grates on me more than anything. Did anyone catch the asshole in the CBOE seats a few games back? Guy sitting there with his 10 year old kid, kid’s totally engrossed in the game and the dad is totally engrossed in his Blackberry. Fucking douchebag.
Gotta make money to pay for those seats ;)
However, really annoying is getting a Christmas update letter and seeing someone’s kid sitting on the Hawk’s bench during warm-up and wondering why the fuck (besides I’m not 10 years old) it wasn’t me.
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
At least its not the 100 level.
I guess I would rather sit close to the loud meatheads in the 300 level. It’s much better than sitting next to people on their Blackberry’s most of the game. Maybe they should have put one of the Madhouse bars on the 100 level.
Victim was found murdered by a Chelsea Dagger.
"sit down kid"
i had 100 level seats last season and some D-bag sitting behind me told me to sit down after a goal, told him to fuck off and go to the opera, that wont happen in the madhouse. i just occasionally screamm “PASS IT!” haha

Nice Summary Mac
1. No mention of Hit Bogart?
2. Glad for Soupy. What a beaut! It’s been mentioned, but Soup and Nintendo are basically giving us a 2nd shutdown pair this year.
3. Toews is +15 and, in many penalty-kill minutes, has yet to be on the ice when we coughed one up.
4. Hossa is point-a-game despite lingering rust.
5. 25 minutes for Dunc, 23 for Seebs? I think this is Q’s biggest mistake so far this year. Shutouts are nice, but March-May is more important.
6. If the Hawks get very good goaltending, can anyone beat them? Discuss
Agreed Dunc and Seebs are logging a lot of mins. Last night I know Hjammer was banged up a bit so that could have been a contributing factor. But your overall jist is right on point.
by HjammerTime on Dec 17, 2009 11:59 AM CST up reply actions
Barker went down early in the third period. More ice time for everyone then. And these guys are just 26 years old, they shouldn’t be worn out.
Yeah, but especially w/ Dunc...
…not only is he at the top of the league in TOI, but, as far as I can tell, he leads the league in distance travelled per second on the ice. The guy has one gear, and it’s really fucking fast. Instead of circling, he stops and hops. That shit is tiring.
When I multiply these two together, I conclude that Keith leads the league in total amount of skating, literally, by miles.
Plus, he’s not that big and we saw some signs of wear on the guy last year. The Hawks have had their share of laughers the past month, and their top d-line shoulda got more rest.
Yes, the Hawks are young, but they remind me of the young bull that wants to run down the hill and fuck a cow from among a group grazing in the valley.
No, says the older, wiser bull (think Detroit)- let’s walk down and fuck ’em all.
This just in:
Matt Cooke, Todd Fedoruk, and Cam Janssen were all arrested last night after FBI agents discovered their plot to burgle all the turds in the world. They will be charged with conspiracy to commit turd burglary.

kid with headphones
So I dunno if its been mentioned before but anyone notice that kid (maybe teenager) with dark hair that sits in the first row behind the visitor’s goal with a red hawks jersey and headphones on? Since last season, it seems like he sits there every game and the tv cameras always seem to find him and he gives his dorky little thumbs up everytime the hawks score a goal. I think they showed him twice last night…after brouwer’s goal and then after soupy’s. Who is this kid??
I’ve seen him too and was going to post this exact thing. I’m not sure the disease, but I’ve seen people like him who are extremely sensative to noise so they where the headset. Not to make light of it, but like in “something about mary”.

Gene Honda calling out the PP time remaining during one of the Blues’ power play last night? I think it was on Versteeg’s tripping penalty. Even Pat Foley got confused because he erroneously said there was one minute remaining in the period – not realizing it was the PP time left. What was that all about? I think GH messed up and tried covering it up.

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 always kind of asumed 'Hawks fans were primarily White Sox fans...
no insult or anything, they just seem like a more down-to-earth, blue-collar team (if you can say that about multi-millionaires), which hockey fans, in general seem to be.
Or maybe there’s a split between long-time and ‘new’ ’Hawks fans to close the gap…
I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.
It's really a good mix between the two
Which is exactly why it’s a bad idea to ever start Cubs-Sox stuff here. It always turns into something ugly.

I wanted that goalie fight so bad.
I highly enjoyed that two of the goals we scored (Brouwer, Panda) were unleashed with such force that Conklin basically shat the puck back into his own goal.
I know...it was sooo close to the goalie fight...
All it would have taken, I think, is a couple of players jumping over the boards to get the dominoes rolling and we would have had a pretty decent brawl. I know our 3rd goalie, up in Peoria, has had a couple of fights in his days — if only, he were up for a spell this week…
I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.
Great game but
I really really hope Jackman gets his clock cleaned in the next game between the two.
