Taking Our Punk Ass Up Against Nashville: Preds at Hawks Preview/Thread/Dance Recital
Nashville Predators at Chicago Blackhawks, Dec 4, 2009 7:30 PM CST
GAMETIME: 7:30 PM
TV/RADIO: CSN, WGN 720 AM
ENEMIES LIST: On The Forecheck
Well, now that the euphoria and discussion of yesterday's events are over, it's time to get back to what matters...and talk about the cupcake draw the US got for the World Cup. Slovenia? Algeria? Let's just book that second round date with Ze Germans right now!
Right, enough of that, to the ice. The Hawks will attempt to win their 9th straight at the UC, and 10th of 12 when Smashville walks out of the visitor's locker room. The Hawks have won two of three from the Preds this year, and by the end of this month will be done with them for the season. All three games have been a brain-drip-out-the-ear, stab-yourself-to-see-if-you-can-still feel bore. That's what the Preds want. They'll play it tight, clog the neutral zone, blah blah blah.
The top line of Sullivan, Arnott, and Dumont lit up the Wild in the Preds' last game. But past that, there just isn't a whole lot going on here. But because Barry Trotz is a machine, all the Preds forwards skate their ass off, and that can get you a lot of points in the first half of the season, when not every team is sure that it cares just yet. However, Smashville has lost their last two, giving up 10 goals in the process. Ellis is apparently getting the start tonight. On the blue line, they have a fantastic top pairing of Shea Weber and Ryan Suter. Weber would be a Norris candidate if he played in Toronto or Vancouver. But the bottom pairs are just, well, "guys". Dan Hamhuis and Kevin Klein and the rest can be forced into turnovers galore with a heavy forecheck. Hey, guess what the Hawks do well?
In a vacuum, this one should be a walk for a Hawks team that is picture-me-rollin'. But games against the Preds aren't played in a vacuum. It'll be a slog, especially as there's every chance the Hawks have one eye on the date with Cindy Crosby and Gena Malkin tomorrow night.
Go get 'em.

You really think the 2nd round game is a given? Slovenia beat Russia, Not sure I’m all to confident in their chances yet on mkaing it thru. Can’t believe France’s luck and Argentina’s too

We probably lose
the England game, and then play panicked to win the next two. That’s a dangerous spot, but still a favorable draw. That Brazil/Portugal/Ivory Coast group will be murder.

New idea for a hawks promotion:
Every time the Predators come to town, all minors get in half-price. Wine coolers optional.

Every time Eddie
Says “Comcast”, “Now stop it right there”, or when he and Foley laugh their high asses off take a shot. Also, every time the camera goes to the crowd and a child is eating, take a shot. Finally, when you can hear a fan yell “SHOOOOT IT!” when it would be a terrible terrible idea to actually shoot it, punch yourself in the face.

I agree that divisional games should be played in a vacuum, Sam. I think intra-divisional games should be played under normal gravitational conditions, though.

Disagree
I completely disagree with the fact you think the Hawks should walk all over the preds tonight. The preds have been one of the best teams in the NHL over the last 10 games. I know the hakws have been too, but they haven’t played well in the past three. They had spurts where they dominated the BJ’s but they need to capitalize a lot more on their opportunities. Bottom line I think the Preds have been playing a lot better since getting a few key guys like Arnott back from injury, and I believe like I have said from the beginning of the season, that they are a second round playoff team. They are a much better team now then when I saw the hawks beat them LIVE from the seventh row in nashville not too long ago.

I agree with this disagreement...
…since the dismemberment of SJ, the storyline has been
Anaheim- pfft.
LA – eh.
Columbus – ha.
Yet we’ve only picked up 3 points, while the opposition has garnered 5.
Now, Nashville- pshaw.
Granted, you’ve caveated your predictions, but we all recognize and practice CYA maneuvers, right?
We got three games against the Molesters this month. Either we show ’em our heels or they buzz around all season.
Saturday night at the Igloo is the limelight, but tonight’s more important.
And the events of the past week have a distracting “Winter Classic” feel.
Ominous.

He took a slapshot
off the inside of the knee. After that he was pretty much immobile but the Hawks couldn’t clear the zone and he couldn’t get off the ice. He was pretty much the Jordan statue right next to the net.

blocked a shot on the PK
couldn’t get off the ice for like another minute, it was sort of comical watching him hobble around, but he just stayed by the net and actually ended up using his stick to block another close-range shot. it says a lot about how he’s been playing lately that I actually hope he’s not too injured.

It wasn’t his best night, but he had a lot of help and had no chance on any of those goals. The ‘Hawks were really below average tonight and to Nashville’s credit they took advantage of that. Let’s give the Predators some credit here.

Before this goes too far
This was bound to happen as the ‘Hawks can’t win them all at home. Even if the ‘Hawks were to win 50 games this year that would still mean that they would lose 32 games. It’s a long season and we’re going to make the playoffs and probably win the division. So let’s relax a little.

Lucky you
To witness that in person. What an extrordinary event that was with some of the greatest players that had ever lived with the retiring of Lach and Bouchard’s numbers.
Toews goal was one of those highlight reel goals of the season. It was pretty fucking spectacular. The rest of the period the ‘Hawks had chances and couldn’t capitalize and after Hamhuis scored after a screened shot the game flipped into a disgusting mess.
The ‘Hawks refused to shoot on many occasions and passed the puck like a hot potato and after Campbell whiffed on a Kane pass the Preds went down on a 3-on-1 only to be stuffed but then Tootoo shot the puck form the boards and it carromed off of Erat’s leg (as luck would have it) it was 2-1.
The ’Hawks had some chances in the 3rd but nothing seemed to go in. Ellis was that good. Late in the 3rd the Preds put it away with a Tootoo goal as he wsa left all alone in front of Huet and went top cheese. Ward scored a minute later, ball game over.
It wasn’t the greatest of games but tomorrow will be. The Penguins, can’t wait.

Hate losing like this...
Bouncing pucks going over Hawks stick, pucks sitting in the crease, goalie standing on his head – how many games have we seen that? Preds literally throwing pucks at the net and they go in. First two goals made me want to puke. I would have liked to see Niemi tonight but whatever.
Apparently the refs swallowed their whistles as well – tons of interference, cross-checking, and hooking by the preds along the boards all night. Not that it really matters as Hawks had their chances. It blows to see a team dominate and give up garbage goals.

I'm strangely zen about this loss
but I guess we were gonna have a couple of games like this. We dominated, tried to generate the chances, but nothing dented twine for us. Those last few minutes were brutal though— we were fairly close to possibly tying, or at least just keeping the goal differential low. Absolutely no reason our defense should have let up like that.
Whatever. Hopefully the boys show up tomorrow in Pittsburgh.

This loss does not bother me at all. The Hawks played good enough to win, and Ellis stood on his head. Other teams are definitely prepared when they go up against the Hawks. What was the final SOG’s?
