DON’T FORGET: YOUR SPG PICKS - remember the New Rule too
So as I said earlier today, the Blackhawks are in a season-worst 4-game losing streak and have fallen to the 5th overall in the west. One of the strengths this year has been the Hawks ability to stay relatively consistent. They've dropped 3 games in a row a few times but were always able to turn it around for the 4th. Once again though, this is no reason to panic. Even the Scum have gone through a losing streak this year (5 games back in January).
The 5 game homestand the Hawks open today isn't going to be an easy one overall, but it couldn't start out better for the Hawks. In three games so far this year, the Hawks have outscored the Oilers 15-3. The Oilers also played last night in a dominating game against the Avs and hopefully used up their quota of goals with the 8 they dropped on Budaj. The Oilers are fighting for a playoff spot so they're still very dangerous.
Expect special teams to be a big factor in this game. With Pahlsson getting his second game for the Hawks I'd hope to see a strong killing team come out and keep the Oilers 22nd ranked Power play unit off the scoreboard. On the other hand I'd like to see the Hawks PP squads jump all over the Oilers since they're ranked 28th overall on the kill. The Oilers take a lot of penalties as well so the Hawks should do everything they can to take advantage of that.
Roloson got the start last night in Colorado so I'd expect to see backup Deslauriers go tonight. I know you're thinking... who?
Him
If Desla-saurus does get the start it'll be incredibly easy to see if the Hawks luck has begun to shift. He's been a pretty shitty back up for the workhorse Roloson so if the Hawks are still slumping he'll be standing on his head blocking everything. If the tides have turned than the Hawks will be able to get a few goals in on him quick. If I were Q I'd tell Buff that Deslauriers always keeps a few cheeseburgers on him to get him in front of the net all night. The Hawks can't keep giving weak goalies wide open views of shots and should crash the net early and often this game. Of course the only preview I've read of the game says Roloson could get the start again so this could all be for nothing.
The Oilers also have a couple Brian Campbell-esqe players on their blue line. They can jump in the play with the puck but are liabilities in their own zone. Since the Hawks have had a close look at that type of player all year they hopefully know exactly how to take advantage of it. Luckily for the Hawks they don't have a Keith to go against that style (though really, not many teams have a talent like Keith).
As Sam posted below, it looks like a lot of our wishes have been granted and Khabby could be getting a majority of the starts. Barker is also expected to play tonight despite the dreaded "lower-body injury". The end of this homestand is not going to be easy with San Jose, New Jersey and Vancouver coming so it's crucial for the Hawks to start it off strong.
Lets Go Hawks

Your gametime video feed and beer
I’ll update this with a feed later, but I’m still at school (kids are working on a project — am I a dick to have them work on a research project during the last period of the day the Friday before Spring Break?) and lots of sites are blocked by the school filter.
As for your beer (I would think that any site or search containing the word “beer” would be blocked by the school, but what do I know?), well, you get that now!
Unibroue La Fin du Monde
Ho-lee hell is this beer good. I chose it for a couple reasons. First, it’s Canadian, and we’re playing a Canadian team. However, it’s from the opposite fucking side of the country (this one is from, you guessed it, Quebec), so it shouldn’t give those damn Alberta d-bags any sort of advantage. They probably drink Molson Canadian anyway. PUKE. Second, even though we’re officially in fifth place, we need to keep reminding ourselves this is not the end of the world… somehow. It’s not, right? (If you couldn’t Google translate the name of this beer quickly enough or you didn’t know what it means by now, it means “The End of the World.”) If it’s at all possible, keep your heads up. And if that’s not possible, drink a lot of beer.
Go Hawks!

Deslasauriusier
I hope he isnt the next Mannino or Dubielewicz. We should win this game. I really like how we’re beginning to describe bad defensive players as “Campbell-esque.” Also, if I we’re Q…I’d tell big Muff he’s got $100 bills in his pads.

Tonight I'm having....
… looking into the fridge it looks like an Alexander Keith’s night but that could turn into Crown and Cola or Ginger action if the Hawks continue to puke the way the have lately. Then again if Campbell continues to look like the worst $86, 500 per game D-man ever then it just might be just Crown straight. Hopefully Huet isn’t playing then I might have to crack open the Wild Turkey!!!

Q looks to have chosen tonight to begin riding Khabby the rest of the way. Unless something bad happens, I’m guessing we won’t see a whole lot more of Huet for the rest of the season. If we end up facing the Flames, can’t say that would be a bad thing, as Khabby seems to like them. And if he sits long enough, who knows, maybe it’ll put some fire and focus back in Huet’s game.

Back-up again? Oh no!!!
This is a sight all too familiar lately, a back-up coming into town and stealing a W. Hopefully tonight the Hawks will receive a different type of fate. Would it not be nice if the Hawks could actually win in regulation for once? Remember what that felt like? Starting to forget!!!

But I’m a little under the weather, which means Jim Beam and Old Style will have to nurse me back to health. That and not having to scream ‘Fuck!’ at my tv for three hours. Let’s see if the Hawks care about my well-being.

We have to be the absolute worst of the higher points teams when it comes to 1-goal games. We seriously suck.

A friend's dad has season tix in sec. 101
and sometimes he shares the wealth! Gonna wear my half-n-half jersey to the game; I’ve had some good luck with that one.

Maybe the Hawks are just pulling an '05
Sox here. Require every fan to install a pacemaker down the stretch, then coast to the Cup.
Probably not. But that’s my attempt at a silver lining.

Tough schedule ahead. If the skaters play as well as tonight, the defense tightens, and we get moderately better goaltending, we can be in the games; if not, pressure will mount.

That's the stink in this shitpile.
Its not that they went cold in March. Its that these have almost all been games which should’ve been winnable. Backup goaltenders, at home, second day of back to back, out of playoffs.
This was the stretch of schedule to solidify that 4th spot. Instead they gave it up, and will now have to claw back against better teams to maintain the 5th spot. Maybe this unnecessary pressure is good preperation for the playoffs. But its not good for me.
