Road Trip.....gonna be there tonight
Hopefully it’ll go a lot better than last night did…..it makes the 4 hour drive home a lot more pleasant. LETS GO HAWKS
"Its gotta start somewhere, Its gotta start sometime. What better place then here, what better time then now"
the whole nhl has the packed schedule
what with the pre-postnationalist festival coming up in Feb.
everyone figures to have it rough for fatigue, so we can’t let that roll as an excuse.
If the team can’t get psyched to beat the Scum (depleted or not), after a loss last night … then we need to rethink whether they’re ready to truly challenge for a Cup
by krome on Dec 23, 2009 12:20 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
If they repeat the performance they had last night
they’ll win 10-0.
I be on my green like Irish Spring.
Road Watch
As long as the weather doesnt go completely to hell, me and a few fellow hawks fans will be there.
I'm wondering.
Isn’t one of the main reasons we canned Savvy because he couldn’t get the powerplay going? As the guys have said many a time, Q seems to be making all the wrong decisions regarding positioning and personnel.
Any ideas on why he’s gone temporarily insane?
Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica.
Torchetti
Unsure how much of the creative control belongs to Torch and how much belongs to Q, Q obviously has the final say…………….this team is so damn good at so many things that a bad powerplay is inexcusable.
"In an ideal world I would have all 10 fingers on my left hand so my right hand could just be a fist for punching."
The PP's ineffectiveness
I don’t know who really has the final say on personnel but it shouldn’t matter as the ’Hawks seem to have no idea on how to convert on the man-advantage. Even the goals the ’Hawks have scored on the PP this year have been far from making the highlight reel with at times the line pairing of Madden-Brouwer-Byfuglien getting more chances than the “A” group.
Who runs the PP? You would think Torchetti and if he is then it’s only a matter of time before the axe falls on his ass with Scotty’s old friend, Dave Lewis, looking for a job. There has to be sense of cohesiveness and urgency and I just don’t see that right now.
What players could be at fault? Well Toews and Sharp come to mind as both have been underwhelming this season with 10 goals each which has them tied with the likes of Byfuglien and Versteeg – 2 people who get considerably less ice-time. It’s time to step it up and stop thinking (maybe they have too much) of making the Canadian Olympic squad as many other Canadians have stumbled this season with the possibility to represent their country. They can say that they’re not thinking about it but they are and it looks as if it has affected their play of late. It wouldn’t be suprise me the slightest if both went on torrid goal-scoring streaks once the final roster of the Canadian Olympic is finally announced.
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!!!
Peaks and valleys of the season.
There’s no way these guys have even a split second to think about the olympic team when they get the puck in the slot. Like last night with Toews on the open net, its just a matter of not capitalizing on chances. The goals will come.

Here's hoping the Hawks chew up the Scum-lite bastiches...
….and spit ’em out.
Get the taste of last night out of everyone’s mouth before Christmas.
Anyone want an alternative location for road watch?
Maybe western burbs?
by Hi, I'm Bob LeDonne on Dec 23, 2009 3:06 PM CST via mobile reply actions
a western burbs locale would be great
I moved into Wheaton in May – and inCOMetentCAST CABLE COMPANY couldn’t figure out how to serve my townhouse (even though they served the prior owner up until 5 days before they started trying to commence service for me). AT&T cable isn’t available yet – so I have no TV service at all.
A western burbs offshoot would be a welcome opportunity to see some games without inviting myself to a friend’s house.
I am deputizing each and every one of you with the capabilities of forming your own sanctioned SCH Road Watches in the suburbs. The three of us are all city dwellers, and we’re clearly selfish, so that’s why we always do these things there.

The entire NHL television situation is bullshit
I subscribe to Center Ice and actually get Verus HD which is nice but tonight’s game is on NHL Network so I’ll be reduced to watching some crappy feed on my laptop that is probably giving my computer viruses. This is about the 4th time already the Hawks have been on NHL Network. At the very least they should give me free online viewing of NHL Network since I bought the Center Ice package. Douchebags.
I'm afraid to move off comcast.
Based on all the horror stories from folks here, I’ll keep overpaying for EPL footie and the hawks in HD. Thanks for helping me avoid a mistake, all!!

How bad is Versteeg? in the dog house that we’ve got Kopecky on the PP and he’s getting splinters?

Right?
Then again, Kopecky seems to play well against the Wings, so who knows what’s going on in Q’s mind.

agreed
How’s Huet on the PP? Maybe he could screen in front. He’s not doing anything anyway, let’s give it a shot.
I hate Illinois Nazis.
actually, now that I think about it
Kris’ role in the PP unit was to screen the goalie (at least, that’s how he was positioned at practice) so that’s probably why Kopecky has taken his place.
Don’t ask me why I’m trying to rationalize Q’s actions. I don’t really know, except maybe I’m not drinking enough.

Bertuzzi is too dumb to come up with a witty barb. Burish is more of the team prick than Eager. He fights AND makes fun of the guys on the other team.
That was a
“welcome to your first full year on the big team”
I’m impressed with the guy playing the music at the Joe. He was playing the Grinch Christmas song when one of the Blackhawks went to the box. He just played “Hooked on a Feeling” after the hooking call.
which one?
You can tell Mickey’s never seen the Blackhawks play because he keeps mentioning how good they are. He sounds like he’s in awe.
That's actually kind of nice
I’m one of the few non-Wing haters. I’m genuinely impressed by them so to get that back from one of them is a nice compliment.
I'm the same way.
I think the Blackhawks are so good right now because they’re basically playing the Wings offensive system.
With all the goalie sticks he's taken between the legs over the years...

Couple of great stats from Twitter, in the "Just Saying" category
Detroit, as far back as 2000, has never been shut out back to back by the same team in regular season.
And the Blackhawks have shut Detroit out 3-0 in 3 of the last 4 regular season games against them.
oh, and shots on goal ended up 33-31 Detroit

Just saw Fox Detroit interview Patrick Sharp
after having to sit through Sarah Kostak interviews, that was a complete breath of fresh air. He actually asked interesting questions. I pray Comcast fires that moron before the end of the season.
I know sports channels want to hire hot chicks for their networks, but at least hire someone that has seen a hockey game. Or someone who can come up with a better question than “what were you thinking about during that play?”
Who is Zack Kustock?
He was the quarterback at Northwestern a few years ago.
I hear what you’re saying, and I saw an interview in the last year where she admitted she knew nothing about hockey until last season when the Hawks became the big news in town and she needed a crash course. So I gave her credit for at least admitting that she wasn’t an expert and that she’s still a work in progress when it comes to hockey.
But still, every time I see her I think of Buehrle’s perfect game so it’s a happy thought.
If you’re admitting that you don’t know shit about hockey, then you shouldn’t be assigned to the hockey beat. I don’t know many jobs where you can say “I don’t know shit about what I’m doing” and still keep your job. She’s awful.
Hawks Win in shutout fashion - again!
Let’s make it SEVEN! Niemi now has 4 shutouts in 9 starts which is pretty fucking remarkable as he was very solid for a ’Hawks squad that looked a little flat from the outset. Hawks winning a game when outshot was a nice change of pace as well as the shoe has been on the other foot far too often this season.
Toews and Sharp score will came as no suprise to myself after calling them both out today. It just happens that way for whatever reason.
First time the Red Wings have been shutout 4 times in a season since 1958-59. Got to love it.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE, and to everyone a goodnight….
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!!!

Niemi
If the numbers I saw were correct, Niemi is now tied in the league for most shutouts this season with 4.
wait what?
Nevermind
Bryzgalov took the lead back tonight with a win against the Ducks when he was the only person to show up to the stadium and watch the Coyotes play a game. Niemi would lead the league with his .937 save, but nhl.com says it doesn’t since Niemi isn’t listed in the top save % (which I assume is due to the limited number of games he’s played). How bout that for a backup goalie?
wait what?
He would indeed
lead the league in both save % and GAA if he qualified. I really don’t know how he does it… he doesn’t really look super comfortable back there, and I find myself on edge just as much as when Huet’s in net. He doesn’t look like a dominant goalie, but the numbers suggest otherwise (and yes, I know the D has A LOT to do with it).

As a Hawks fan and Mizzou alumnus
It’s been one hell of a night for both teams in rivalry games.
