DON’T FORGET: YOUR SPG PICKS - remember the New Rule too
And so we begin our quest for the playoffs. Even if right now it seems like Toews is pretty much dragging the entire team there against their will. Deadweight be damned.
Its been said recently that the Hawks really only seem to play up to the level of their competition. They beat out San Jose and New Jersey, but play like shit against weaker teams.
That could explain how this team is 1-2-2 against this Blues squad and why you should look forward to tonight's match up. You see... The Blues really sucked earlier this year. They were at the bottom of the West. Before one victory against the Hawks, the Blues had lost 6 games in a row. Hence, the Hawks lose to them.
Now however, the Blues are actually a pretty damn impressive team. They've gone 9-4-1 in March and have been challenging for a playoff spot. With the Blues playing like a top team, the Hawks will have no choice but to play them like a top team which favors the Hawks.
The Blues have largely been led by rookie T.J. Oshie. In 51 games this year this kid has 36 points and has scored goals like this and laid out "superstars" like this.. or like this.
So this will be the second game in which Toews plays a former teammate. Last night saw Toews match up with Carey Price who he won the World Junior Championship with in 2007, which was a fucking great job. You might remember thier warm greatings from last night that include Toews knocking Price to the ice (flop) and Price punching Toews in the back of the head shortly before Sharp got called for interference.
Oshie and Toews were close friends and linemates while playing for the Fighting Sioux. Toews will have a height and weight advantage in any collision of the two.. but so did Nash. Both players don't seem to take care for the other team though so I wouldn't be surprised to see some hits between the two.
The Blues have won 5 in a row coming into tonight and haven't played since Sunday in Columbus. They've given the Hawks nothing but trouble all year and Chris Mason hasn't allowed a goal against the Hawks in the last two games and should be getting his 28th straight start tonight. That's great news for a team that has only scored one goal in the past two games, yeah?
We saw the reuniting of the line all of us have wanted to see for a long time with Daydream Nation skating with Sharp, but with Bolland out it's really anyone's guess as to who Q will throw out there. Walker's also back which is great news for St. Louis.
It's also anyone's guess as to how this game will turn out. The Hawks skated hard and didn't look terrible for another game but there were some bad breaks. The main problem with the Canucks game was a lack of traffic in front of Luongo, that changed in last night's game for the most part (see: Toews getting punched and Sharp's goal) but they'll need more of it with better shots if they want to solve this Mason problem. The Hawks need to pick up the play in the defensive zone and look to adapt their play if the Blues shut out their preferred game plan.
It'll be no surprise that the Blues will come out of this game well rested and looking to hit the Hawks hard - that's been their strategy all year against the Hawks. The games have been physical matches and at least in the last two, low scoring as well. The Hawks can't give up an easy goal to start the game or it's only going to get ugly.
Lets Go Hawks
UPDATE: Here are your lines for tonight
Eager - Toews - Kane
Byfuglien - Sharp - VERSTEEG!
Ladd - Pahlsson - Havlat
??? - Fraser - Burish
Keith - Seabrook
Hjalmarsson - Campbell
Barker - Johnson/Walker

That second video of Oshie hitting Nash was pretty awesome. I hate to say it.
And I have mixed feelings about Walker being back. Yes, he played like moron before Q put him in time-out, but playing his former team is as good an opportunity as any to show that he learned his lesson. I’m hoping his vacation from the ice will have sparked something in him and he might play like he gives a shit. And at the same time, I’m hoping he wants to destroy his former team. Wishful thinking, maybe, but we’ll see how things go.
I’ll be back in an hour or two with a video feed/beer post.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
Very tough game
Every game at this stage of the season is a war. The young Blackhawks need to learn from this experience so they are a better team next season and beyond. I don’t like our chances right now. St. Louis has gotten inside the head of the Blackhawks and they are playing on fire as they try to secure a playoff spot.
Somebody has to explain to me why Big Buf is on the ice so damned much of late. I do not get it. Also time for Patrick Kane to step up big-time. Jonathan Toews and Marty Havlat have done their share. Now it is time for Kane to finally deliver a level of quality consistency.
Thats scary
This cannot be good, Bolland possibly injured and Walker back up… fantastic.
Put Big Country on the 4th line
And let him goon it up.
Your gametime video feed and beer
It was the best of feeds, it was the worst of feeds: tvants://list.tvants.com/tvants/?k=3685912168d3b3e2eac87aba55148f22 (you’ll need to copy-paste that link, and you’ll need TVAnts)
And your beer:
Budweiser American Ale
In the spirit of good competition, I’m choosing a Budweiser product. American Ale, Budweiser’s attempt at appealing to the growing population of gourmet beer fans, actually isn’t half bad.
You know what, fuck all of that. I refuse to recommend anything from the nation’s biggest producer of piss-flavored ass-water. Anheuser-Busch is to beer as MTV is to television – pure and utter fucking garbage that we’re supposed to believe is "good" and "American." You know what else used to be considered "good" and "American?" Slavery. That’s right, I said it. By some absurd logical construction, I am equating drinking an Anheuser-Busch product to owning slaves. Wrap your puny heads around that one.
My real recommendation comes from a Chicago brewery. No, it is not a corporate giant that employs thousands of people. No, it doesn’t have centuries of tradition. But goddamnit, the beer is good. Have a fermented feast with some:
Goose Island Honker’s Ale
Have some Chicago pride and slam back a few Honker’s Ales. It’s Wednesday, and regardless of whether the ‘Hawks win or lose, they’ll give you a good reason to drink (of course we all know it’ll be celebratory drinking). Plus, Honker’s Ale beats the living snot out of anything A-B’s ever brewed. Sorry, St. Louis, you fucking suck.
Go Hawks!

Note
Goose Island is sold at the UC’s finer beer cubbyholes for the reasonable price of…
[pause]
…never mind. (I know there is a markup, but for Christ’s sake: $7.50 for a bottle of beer??)
And speaking of exasperation — Matt Walker? This is the solution? Isn’t there someone in Rockford we can talk to about all this?
This may be way harsh. Perhaps the time off unscrewed his head to the point where he can be serviceable as a third-pairing defenseman. But a win is required tonight. Matt, thus, is not.
My thought is that if we can lock up the playoffs ASAFP, the boys will relax and start to play a little bit better. Not all at once, but gradually. If they start to grip about dropping to seventh or eighth and face ALMOST CERTAIN DOOM in the first round, this is not going to get any better.
Anyway: hope for the best.

Will be at the game tonight, per usual. I will hang up and listen for my answer. (And also: for the answers to the questions my brain will be consumed with during the first ten minutes. You guys have a freaky capacity on that.)
(Speaking of freaky — chicagokill will be stuffed into a trunk and driven into northwest Indiana for a meeting if T.J. Oshie does anything useful. Nothing personal — strictly business.)

Bud American Ale is sold for the same price...
and if I’m going to pay nearly $8 for a beer, I’d take anything by Goose Island over an A-B brew.
That said, I’d rather pony up the extra $1.50-2.00 for a Honker’s Ale than spend $6.75 for 16 ounces of beer-flavored water (also known as macro-brewed “light” lagers).
And Walker, well, I’m trying to be optimistic, look on the bright side, etc. I’ll save my “what the fuck”s for later, when he actually does something to deserve one (or ten).

meh...
the wife bought molson and blue moon, I finished all the leinie’s the other night, and I am too lazy to go to the store right now. Looking like it’s gonna be a Jameson night. Depending on how they play it might even be called for. Especially with the pylon that is Walker on the ice.

"I am equating drinking an Anheuser-Busch product to owning slaves."
Amazing.. but i’m still not drinking it.
Walker is back?
He knows what to do.
I love it when a plan comes together.
And anybody who doesn’t like Budweiser, they’ve killed their taste buds drinking Old Style.

They can’t really be missed, they’ve got all of the south side of Madison covered between Wood and Damen. Sam is almost always outside of Gate 3.

I’ve never looked at all. I’m usually with people who don’t give a shit about hockey, and they want to spend as little time as possible wandering around outside.

Which is it, huh? Look harder next time
By the way, I just saw the update
A Walker-Burish-Fraser (if Walker ends up filling in the blank) would be brutal — in more ways than one.
Also; Eager-Toews-Kane?! I predict at least 14 fights involving Eager tonight, all out of protection for Kane.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
and then I'm fucking stupid
because Walker is clearly already listed as a D-man, but I guess that doesn’t necessarily mean that’s where Q will end up using him.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
if I remember correctly
Q has used Walker as a wing on a shift or three earlier in the season already

A Blues fan from SoCal? Yikes.
I almost hope it’s Kane, because Eager and he will be on the ice together tonight. I’d love to see Eager slam Oshie’s ass on the ice after punching him in the head a dozen times.

The official site has these lines now:
Buff – Toews – Kane

Ladd – Pahlsson – Havlat
Johnson – Fraser – Burish
Where’d you find the Ladd/Pahlsson/Buff line? My tv’s still on mute until the game starts.

Keith’s got over 18 minutes

Dayum
How old is the crowd here? Do we even know what a Hun is?
Life is relevant. You can put your hands on a hot stove and a fraction of a second seems like hours. Yet you can put your hands on a hot woman and hours seem to turn into seconds.
Okay, we'll break the play out for ya
Huns = Germans. Known for their analness about everything being in a certain place. If you’ve ever been to Germany you know this
Forum Cops like mjthor = anal hun

Huns aren't German hot shot
they invaded Europe from east of the Volga river

Gotcha, I'll dumb down my posts for the audience
I’m a foreigner so my mistake on the IQ here.

Your mistake alright
You underestimated it.

Hate to be pesimistic but...
…this game quickly resembles the one vs. the Kings. Dominate for 2 periods only for a weak PP late in the game to make it close hopefully history doesn’t repeat itself. Only 7 shots given up awesome! The Hawks are (for those who care) 23-3-3 when leading after 2.
nothing personal
just the late powerplay just came into play

Well, that broad is particularly bouncy.
and now they have a female polo player.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
probably a pretty common name
or is it the same one?
(Bwana and I are brothers and went to HS with a girl named Hilary Johnson)
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
and who the fuck was the douche they were interviewing? I stopped listening when they said MMA fighter from an unknown league

Backes was probably just surprised at who tried to hit him
“Seriously? Patrick Kane just hit me? Fuck that shit, I’m gonna get him.”
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
The number of posts hit by the Hawks tonight
greatly exceeds the number of intelligent posts made by spectr tonight
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
but the Hawks have actually hit the post

or is it nie-en?
"He shows up every day to play, he plays hard every day, and he shows up to beat your butt."
well

by runningquicklynowhere on Apr 1, 2009 9:36 PM CDT up reply actions

LOL
even when Buff is holding guys off, he STILL looks like he doesn’t give a shit!
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE

could Buff look more idiotic
by runningquicklynowhere on Apr 1, 2009 9:40 PM CDT reply actions
nor do I
just wish he would show up like this every game
by runningquicklynowhere on Apr 1, 2009 9:41 PM CDT up reply actions
yeah
any complaints are minor little bullshit. And not hearing walker’s name in a while is a good thing too.
by runningquicklynowhere on Apr 1, 2009 9:43 PM CDT up reply actions
ok, correction
Power play is a complaint. it is sucking ass. I think the blues have half their shote while we are on the Power play
by runningquicklynowhere on Apr 1, 2009 9:46 PM CDT up reply actions
Powerplay really needs to score
did they just say 15 in a row without?
by runningquicklynowhere on Apr 1, 2009 9:41 PM CDT reply actions
yeah but St. Louis hasn’t played in a couple days, what’s their excuse?

taking the convenient "it was all an act" route, huh?
I’ll allow it. The least we can do is let you escape with some of your dignity in tact. We’re frickin’ humanitarians over here.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
booger eaters?
at least anal huns had something going for it

That sucks.
"He shows up every day to play, he plays hard every day, and he shows up to beat your butt."
A win's a win.

Lets Go Hawks!

About Time
Total domination. The Hawks finally take care of business of a Central division foe. The Blues might be good in the next couple of years but I’m banking on them giving away all their talent for poo (Seriously they had Curtis Joseph, Brett Hull, Adam Oates, Ian Laperriere , Brendan Shanahan and Al MacInnis and won nothing.)
Great Win!!
Nice to see the Hawks rebound after a couple of losses but classless move by the Blues at the end asking for extra time with their #1 PP unit (with the goalie out nonetheless) and score with 2 seconds left! There is some things you just don’t do and that’s one. The Blues made need a goal late in the next week or two and if they don’t get it they can point they used it up on a meaningless situation. Feel for ‘Bulin but that was a complete effort by all and something we haven’t seen in awhile!!!
