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
September 26, 2007 The day a Franchise was reborn.
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.

"Bunch of slack-jawed faggots around here. This stuff will turn you into a goddamn sexual Tyrannosaurus, just like me."
Fucking excellent movie and quote.
That movie made 2 governors and a third that was a gubernatorial (I spelled that right on my first try!) candidate.

Actually consider this.
Think long and hard: Arnold is the governor of California. Just think about that.
When you think about it, it sounds like the plot to one of his action movies.

Big game
against a deadly opponent….prolly gonna be a boring game,but its the hawks,so i gotta watch….C’MON HAWKS!!!KEEP THE WIN STREAK AT HOME GOIN!!!!!
I really hope...
there is some sort of drinking game for when the Hawks play the Preds to keep things interesting. I’m gonna google it to find out.
My favorite drinking game

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.
wait what?
All three are excellent drinking games!
BTW, I just saw Binny’s in Buffalo Grove is having a tasting tomorrow from 2-5.
Did a bit of holiday shopping there this morning. Picked up a 4 of Samuel Smith Porter, a little scared to have it, I don’t usually do porters but was told it is awesome. Might have been on sale.

Good Idea
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.

In a vacuum?
Next you’ll be asking for the games to be played on a flat, frictionless surface. Like a sheet of ice or something.
Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.
I would like to thank the hockeygods
for splitting-up my fantasy team goalies tonight like i was praying for. And for letting Huet have the Preds and Rinne the Wild tomorrow.
I will be imbibing copious amounts holy water (whiskey) in your honor tonight.
"I fornicate and play hockey, cause ther're the 2 most fun things in cold weather"
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.
might want to reread that
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.
"I fornicate and play hockey, cause ther're the 2 most fun things in cold weather"

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.
Speaking of ominous, where’s tonight’s CI?

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.

I’m leaving now to poke a fucking hot pair of scissors into my eyes.
"Call Detroit, tell dem... BULLSHIT!"
This has become the game I expected. Well, at least Toews goal was exciting.

I expected it to be a clusterfuck of a game. And that’s what happened, don’t you agree.

No, nobody expects a loss that’s for sure for those days are long and gone (thank godness) but with the defending champs up tomorrow night I knew there was going to be a chance for a letdown in this game.

Nashville
Is nothing more than another Colorado. Play a great 20 games and then back to earth after that.

I think I'm going to go ruin my diet with hot chocolate and cookies
The power play is still f**king clown shoes
Terrible defensive effort ....six deep
Dunc, seabs, hammer, campbell, sopel, barker……….no one played well

Outside of Kane and Toews
You can put eveyone in that boat. Looking towards tomorrow and that really cost them tonight.

I don't think they were looking towards tomorrow
they had chances that didn’t fall, were aggresive in the first and third, but didn’t get much help form their defencemen
"If you're scared, go buy a dog" - Stacey King
It wasn’t our best effort for sure. They definitely in my eyes didn’t show any signs of desperation and vigor that they usually show in many games. The 2 home games since returning form the trip have been less than inspiring.

Pittsburgh tomorrow
All I can say is: Thank. Fucking. God.

I know the game will be more open
but let’s not jump for joy at the sight of the defending stanley cup champs, um k

At least it will be entertaining. Unlike anything the Predators will ever show with Trotz as coach.

brutal
both games I watched tonight turned out all wrong. well, at least I don’t feel bad about not seeing this one in person

Glad we wasted money on Toews, Kane, and Keith
5 more years of this, huh? UGH!
ohmygodthisgamealoneendsourseason
Chicagoan in the Lou.
Cambell blows
Totally out of position, chasing the puck all night. Ew.
Kopecky is ridiculously slow and annoys me.
Pissed. off.
19 out of 23 shots............................
Huet is not the answer

this game had nothing to do with huet
did you watch it?

in fairness....
while I think huet will be doing fine, and has been playing well. Goals against is not the best stat considering he doesn’t see many shots. SV% better
"If you're scared, go buy a dog" - Stacey King
His save percentage is .906 tied for DEAD last
"Let 'em say all those nice things," he says, "but I know my mistakes, and I make plenty of them.-Bobby Orr
Correction to post above
He is ranked 29 out of 43 in SV%…despite his team giving up the 6th lowest SA

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.

dude he wasn't replying to you
he was replying to Bruiser, therefore your response to him makes no sense
"If you're scared, go buy a dog" - Stacey King
I replied before taBruiser decided to comeback at illinikc33 or anyone for that matter. A loss is a loss and there’s nothing that can be done to change that. There’s no sense of having arguements over a December 4th loss to Nashville that after the 27th of this month we won’t see for the rest of the season, including playoffs.

Answer me this .....
Why does he( and Buff) get a pass….yet Campbell gets his ass kicked here everyday. Hawks give up 29.9 shoots a game (I can’t believe it is that high) 6th lowest average -Yet his save % ranks him 29 out 30-actually he is tied at .906 for dead last. —Don’t fool yourselves- He is a average NHL goalie—

watching these highlights
…kane deserved about 5 assists, just one of those nights I guess….on to tomorrow
"If you're scared, go buy a dog" - Stacey King
well, in a few minutes I’m off on an overnight bus to Pittsburgh, probably my one time seeing a game at that arena. I was hoping to leave in a better mood!

probably not on Megabus
Greyhound discourages it too. if I’d gotten it together to get Amtrak in time I could drink there probably…

Going to the game? Because I’m going to that one as well.

Any chance you could score me a ticket? My Interac card, near as I can tell, doesn’t work online. I would of course pay you back in cash and beer.
Just call the box office at the Scotiabank Place and they’ll do it for you over the phone, even with Interac. But it you can’t, I’ll see. Cash and beer doesn’t sound so bad as a payment.

where theirs a will...
I’ve drank on all my Greyhound trips, shit alot of people are on much harder shit… allowed? No. Can you get away with it? Yes. Can you get caught? Probably. Will anybody care? Who knows.
I just got
from watching a certain Montreal team win.
Can someone please explain to me what the fuck just happened?
I hate Nashville.
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.
The officiating wasn’t the greatest either. Expect a lot more calls tomorrow night against Cindy and Jenny.

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.
I'm Zen also...
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? I think the Hawks outshot the Pred’s 37-22. Best heckle I heard was “Hey Tootoo…Go Back To Your Igloo!”
Victim was found murdered by a Chelsea Dagger.
I am not zen.
I’m not freaking out either, but Nashville may finally have moved into the role of my most hated rival. It’s just such boring hockey, no wonder they’re having difficulties—who the hell would want to go see games like that on a regular basis? It’d be like paying for a ticket to go watch them paint Trotz’s house. They should change their uniforms to grey T-shirts and beige Capri pants.
We'll see tomorrow if this is a championship
