any line centered by versteeg with buff on a wing
is going to be hot garbage, but I thought kane was all over the place last night. Kid created a ton of chances, and I thought, had a nice game.
I still think, despite the defensive liability, Kane-Steeg-Buff is going to be more productive that Sharp-Steeg-Buff.
It’d be nice to see this team trade for a second line center with an expiring contract, and then they can have bolland come back on the fourth line until he is full go, and then flip the ‘new’ guy with bollie for the rest of the year. I know the trade talks are getting old, but I’m not talking about trading simply due to cap apocalypse……I’m talking about a trade for need. Feel free to tell me why this is a terrible idea, because i’m sure it is in one way or another, I can take it.
We’ve gotten close to zero second line contributions since Bollie got hurt and then went down. As Sam mentioned, we’ve gotten nice special teams contributions from second line players, but we’ve seen little even strength productivity.
"If you're scared, go buy a dog" - Stacey King
Buff is the cancer of the second line
and I don’t see where he’d go after Bolland comes back. Whether it’s Versteeg & Kane or Versteeg & Sharp, the second line could be just as dangerous if Bolland centered it instead of having Steeger try only to end up with Buff weighing it down.
Who do you have in mind, though, and how would it play out? We’ve already tried it with Ebbett and I don’t know what the Wild did to him but he’s been more successful there than here.

my sentiments on buff exactly
Love what Buff is capable of when he is performing his necessary role to the fullest. That being said, It has been awhile since he’s gotten in a goalie’s kitchen consistently. I count two goals I thought he should’ve had last night….1) Kane beats ellis 5 hole, puck hits the post and slides through the crease. I thought buff should’ve been crashing the net for an easy goal there. 2) versteeg to kane (backhand pass) to buff. Sure Kane’s pass was a little hot, but Buff needs to get his damn stick on the ice and tap that in. I know I can’t expect perfection everytime, but these types of scenarios are a big part of what’s plaguing that second line.
And I agree that once bolland is back, where does buff fit in this crop of forwards?
Before the season started, many of us thought buff might skate with Ladd and Madden on the checking line. With the injuries, Brouwer has absolutely made the most of his opportunities, and has been stellar. He’s filled that checking line role, but at the same time, Brouwer has shown some hands, offensive pollish, and willingness to get in front of the net and redirect some shots……. this makes me want to see what he could do on one of the top two lines, but something makes me think that the coaches wouldn’t swap buff and brouwer because buff can’t handle the full checking line assignment (that as I mentioned) many hoped he could.
There were some (probably completely made up) Buff for Matt Cullen rumors. I’ll tell you straight up, I don’t know a damn thing about Cullen except that he is a center with an expiring contract, and his stats show that he does score some points. To me this sounded like a solid match on the surface, I’m not gonna act like I know more than I do and tell you Cullen would be a good fit on the ice. I am trying to watch as many non-hawks NHL games as I can, but I don’t get to all of Versus games and I don’t have any additional packages, so my NHL knowledge outside of chicago is sub par. Couple this with the fact that I’m a huge fan of all 4 chicago sports and spend alot of time on the other teams as well (as depressing as that is right now, blackhawks aside.)
Is this entire opinion a knee jerk reaction of sorts, maybe, time will tell I suppose.
"If you're scared, go buy a dog" - Stacey King
I don't think we're trying to be overly negative
just brainstorming on the issues with the second line.
I also wouldn’t couple Buff bashing and Huet bashing as a generalization on fan opinion, I would couple Huet and Campbell bashing…..that typically comes in pairs.
"If you're scared, go buy a dog" - Stacey King
I wasn't coupling them as if they go together
It was more of mentioning them as the usual suspects. However, you are right- Campbell bitching is like an Olympic sport.
Chicagoan in the Lou.
well gee...
should we start railing on Tazer for being a deadweight now, because he ISN’T one of the usual suspects?
Buff’s actions, to me, are commensurate to the amount of grief I give him, and neither is it comparable to the Huet bashing that goes on around here, which yes, you did implicitly couple together when you said “Wouldn’t be a GDT with people bitching about Buff and/or Huet.”
Though I believe the word you were looking for to express your point was “without”.
by chiblackhawks on Dec 5, 2009 4:42 PM CST up reply actions
The lack of an edit feature is annoying
Because yes, I was going for “without” and figured it would be clear enough without me replying to my own post.
And that fact you see the crap you talk about Buff as deserved doesn’t change the fact that is the same shit on every thread. It may not be posted by you, but it never fails someone has to go into it.
Thanks for the English lesson though. Where should I send my tuition check?
Chicagoan in the Lou.
Well
yeah, I didn’t see the post as a let’s get our hate on post. We have others to bash now. But, I kinda agree. I mean, I thought Buff was really trying last night, and didn’t see much good come of it. And he was actually not asleep, and how many of those games do we actually get from him?
What would be wrong with a Steeg-Kane-Sharp line?
Or, like Sam mentioned, I’d be interested in what Brouwer could bring being moved up.
Well, we’ll probably see a lot of different matchups tonight. :)
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
I think the big problem with a steeg sharp kane line
would be the inability to win board battles. Kaner is stronger on the puck this year, but it still wouldn’t be enough I don’t think.
That’s why it’d be fun to see:
Steeg-Toews-Hossa
Brouwer-Sharp-Kane
Buff-Madden-Ladd
Seems like it’d be worth a shot, that second line would have a completely different look, which is what it needs.

Seriously TV Gods...
The defending Stanley Cup champions vs the up and roaring hawks, and you televise this on WGN TV. Fuck that.
I thank the lord
That it’s not on VS at least, they would be trying to suck Cindy off the entire game, about how much better they would be, and that they would be winning by at least 12 or 344325 goals if she was out there. That and I’m almost positive WGN get’s all of the saturday games.
wait what?
But those of us out of the Chicago area take it up the pooper and have to watch an online feed or not at all.
I get that.
Four years in Minnesota (great for hockey, by the way), a year in England (great for male figure skating?), and now Canada (great does not begin to describe how awesome this place is for hockey). I haven’t had a full season of Hawks on TV since 2002-03.
I pay for center ice
These games are damn near the only thing that I have, outside of grad school, so I don’t want to take my chances with a wanky feed
speaking of which
does anyone know why they never broadcast the hawks feed on center ice online?

they don’t. Not sure what the numbers are, but I think they get more sunday games than saturday. Inevitably Sundays end up being Konroyd with Foley on WGN with Edzo doing his national TV gig.

I really can’t picture Sharp whining about playing centre, or anywhere for that matter. I think those rumblings are just rumblings.
Glad you said that
I can’t believe he wouldn’t do as he was told either. I mean, he plays the point on the PP. I can’t imagine he really likes doing that and being made fun of.
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
That’s the worst rumour I’ve heard yet. There are many suspects on this team that I would believe would ‘pull-a-Heatley’ and voice their displeasure about their playing time and position, but not Sharp. If anything he does more than what he should as one of the true snipers on this squad. If anything else it would Versteeg complaining about not playing centre.
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!!!
This is going to be a good one for sure.
To watch Malkin (maybe the best forward) go head-to-head against Keith (maybe the best defenceman) should be one interesting match-up to say the least. Then you add the fact that these two teams are the two favoured to reach the Stanley Cup Finals, well, you have yourself a heavyweight match-up. Sure Crosby is out with a groin injury (I can hear the whole country of Canada cheering now), but the Pengiuns have proven to be better without Crosby especially with Malkin leading the way.
Wouldn’t be suprised if Huet convinced Q to have him start this tilt tonight. As a competitor he would definitely want this start. Would it not be lovely to see the TAZER duplicate his feat of last year and notch a trick, albeit in a winning cause this time?
Who else is listening to “You’re Going Down” by Sick Puppies to get pumped up for this one?

nah
Clausen, Jake Locker, Sam Bradford, maybe even McCoy will go in the draft before Tebow. Plus Oakland is fresh off of taking a reach and drafting Russell, another Top five quarterback bust and they’d probably consider hiring Matt Millen.
As much as I like Tebow, he’s no pro quarterback. Let’s ignore the automatic deficiency that is being lefty, and move on to the fact that he doesn’t run a pro style offense, has a slow release, telegraphs his passes, and throws an ugly ball.
Sorry, I blacked out there, forget this was a hockey blog…..I’m back now.

Come on guys
Way too much action in the defensive zone this period. Get something going!
I feel like I’ve seen WAY too much Buff in the 2nd.
So
It’s Kane / Sharp / Ladd now, and Toews / Hossa / VERSTEEG

The 2nd
It’s the reverse of last night. Tonight we’re winning when we shouldn’t.
With that said, the ‘Hawks cannot afford to give Pittsburgh 17 shots on goal this upcoming period.
We have to be better all around. Win this period and that’s all she wrote.
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's making it look easy out there.

the announcing gets worse
The DB says the Penguins dominated the “7 game cup series” in ’91. And then they show the fluke goal from game 1 and the color douch who apparently played said it was a good series despite the sweep. I might go mute for the 3rd.
On a beer note Port Brewing High Tide is f’ing awesome. Gonna follow to bombers with the new Karl Struass DIPA.

Niemi should get more starts.

I made the comment last night that this
Was a huge game to see if the Hawks were Cup worthy. Some Douche said it didn’t matter.
Hawks win and do it with D, grit, and great net minding.
Q has really turned this tean from a Cluster to disciplined. The defense in front of the net last year was awful and now they are damn good.
I hope they get a grip and don’t read the banwagoners like Morrissey because they have a long ways to go, but that was a big win.
