Game 2: Every game gets bigger

PrintAnyone else noticing a ton of people around Chicago rocking their Hawks gear all over the city? The past two Cubs games have featured plenty of people wearing Hawks sweaters in Wrigley even though there's not hockey being played there for a change. Someone will have to tell me if it's the same at Sox games since I don't watch those. Driving around this morning I saw at least 3 Hawk jerseys.. I got so pumped that I had to yell "Lets Go Hawks" at some dude rocking a 19. My girlfriend immediately called me a dork but it didn't matter.
Unfortunately for me - I won't be able to watch tonight's game. A buddy is getting married and the ceremony starts at 7:00. Even more salt in the wound, the wedding takes place 6 blocks east of the United Center on Madison. So get loud Hawks fans, I want to hear you all the way down there.
Just about every site has posted this link prior to game two - and I won't be any different. There's a hell of a lot of importance on game two:
In NHL best-of-seven series, the winner of Game 2 has gone 381-150 -- winning 71.8 percent of the series. Game 1 winners have gone 367-164 -- a 69.1 percent winning percentage.
Teams that have won both games to go up, 2-0, have gone 254-37 -- 87.2 percent.
Game 2 winners who lost Game 1 have gone 127-113 (52.9 percent). In contrast -- and fairly obviously -- teams that have won Game 1 but lost Game 2 have gone 113-127 (47.1 percent).
As if the stats weren't proof enough there's this anecdotal evidence: Whenever we'd go up to Kevin Lowe after the Rangers lost yet another series-opening playoff game (they lost 10 straight series openers from the '94 EC Final through the 2006 EC Quarter), he'd just laugh and say: "The series doesn't even begin until Game 2."
Here's what I think - The Flames threw everything they could at the Hawks in Game One and for most of the game, they were the better team. But they lost. That's gotta hurt.
They punched the Hawks in the mouth, sometimes literally, and the Hawks were able to overcome it and still get the victory. You gotta believe they'll come right back out and try that again tonight.
Hopefully though, Q will recognize which lines worked in the first game and which ones didn't (Sharp/Bur/Eager). As Sam wrote in the recap, there was all kinds of line juggling going on. The Hawks started with:
Kane – Toews – Havlat
Sharp – Burish – Eager
VERSTEEG! – Bolland – Brouwer
Buff – Pahlsson - Ladd
But by the end of the game we had something more this:
D - Ladd - Soul (note: D was actually center, but the joke only works this way)
Kane – Toews – Sharp
Eager – Burish – Brouwer
Buff – Pahlsson – VERSTEEG!
Small changes, sure, but they worked. We saw the D.Ladd.Soul line shut down opponents all year and the Pahlsson line gives us another line that can take on top opponents, especially with Buff finally playing up to his strengths.
Over on Matchsticks and Gasoline, they're saying the Flames shook things up this morning in practice and went with these lines:
Glencross – Conroy – Iginla
Cammalleri – Langkow – Bertuzzi
Bourque – Jokinen – Moss
Boyd – Lundmark - Nystrom
The Flames needed to shake things up and the Flames fans over there seem to be pretty pumped about these lines. They're also excited that Sarich should make a return for tonight's game that will make the Flames D even tougher. Hopefully this doesn't mean the exit of Anders Eriksson, his -11 CORSI, -2 +/- and 22:44 TOI was a nice present for the Hawks.
A big surprise was the solid play of Kiprusoff as well. The Barker goal was a softie but he also robbed Kane and a few other Hawks. He really is going to be key for the Flames and if he improves its going to be much harder. But if he falters like he has in the past it might be too much for the Flames to overcome.
I haven't seen much talk about but one thing all Hawk fans need to do is keep an eye on Toews tonight. You never would have guessed that was his first playoff game if you watched him on Thursday. He got kind of a fluke assist on Barker's goal and only had two shots on goal but won 71.4% of his faceoffs, was on the ice for 17 minutes, recorded 3 hits, didn't give up a turnover, had the highest CORSI and did everything you'd want out of a young leader. It wasn't his best game but it was a damn solid one.
The Hawks can't afford to come out flat two games in a row because they aren't going to get lucky everytime. Hopefully the sloppiness of the Hawks can be blamed on nerves and the solid play towards the end of the game was what we can expect from the Hawks here on out. It should be another good one. If you're there, get loud. If you're here, have fun. Don't forget your SPG picks.

You always say keep the baseball talk out of this place, so no more of that talk. Hawks had better come out more composed and ready to play. Habby’s save with about 5 minutes left right after we tied it – the one where he reached out and happened to stab it with his glove- is the only reason we have a lead here. We are inches from a desperation game here. Lets get this place rocking… and ChiKill- thats messed up. You can so sneak out and watch the game

PensBurgh penalty - Lavender - 2 minutes for hijynxing.
Blackhawks, as I will be for the Western Playoffs. I’m kind of all over the place, state doesn’t have a team, love the Pens, neighbors to the south, aka the Hawks, are a real fun team to watch, and off to the west we get the Wild on FSN-WI every now and then.
Game 1 was tense near the end, it’d be great for the Hawks to get up on the board early and control the game.

What does the coaching saff have against Johnsen?
I don’t get why Walker keeps getting time in front of him. Early in the season, before the injury, Johnson was playing fantastic. Even when he came back he seemed a solid defender to me. What do the coaches see in Walker or not see in Johnson?

Hits: Hawks: 12 — Flames: 21
Faceoffs: Hawks: 12 — Flames: 7
Blocked Shots: Hawks: 3 — Flames: 4
Pretty big surprise here: Barker leads the hawks in TOI with 8:19 (might have something to do with the 3 PPs)
Keith, who’s usually the TOI leader, has only been out there for 6:10
Bolland and Pahlsson are both winning faceoffs battles — both are 3-1
Bourque is killing us with 4 hits
Iginla and Phaneuf are putting the pressure on us with 4 and 3 shots, respectively

Not sure I agree
The Hawks seem to be hitting as much as they are taking hits. It seems that the flames are wining the battles down low and taking advantage of unforced errors made by the Hawks. The Hawks are flat again, and I don’t want them to get away from their game by concentrating too much on trying to out muscle a bigger team.
Stop making boneheaded plays, figure out a way to get out of their own end (easier said then done) and sustain the pressure by doing what they have done all year.

I am in Austin, Texas and I have Comcast Chicago on my DirecTv
and I love it.
those of you out of town, there is a way to get the games and not be blacked out. But it costs you your locals on DirecTv
Use a friends of relatives address for your “service address” but keep your home address for billing. You get no locals, but you will not be blacked out for games on Comcast Sports and being a sports junkie, this (paying Time Warner for locals, most basic of basic package) is cheaper for me than paying for the MLB and NHL package.
baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out
Comcast does this to me occasionally
If you haven’t tried this yet, I have found a couple of times that the game is n a channel in one of the other package groupings. So if the NBA, for example is n the 440s, and the Center ICe is in the 460s, and the Hawks games was supposed to be on 461, I found it on 441.
Charter
has all sports options (MLB, NHL, NBA) channels dark. I get nothing. I’ve already called, and been online with them, sharing my disdain for their once again terrible service that I pay for. They had me turn the DVR/Cablebox on then off, unplug/replug, all that shit. And nothing.
It’s okay, it’s cool (what I’m telling myself) the Hawks have tied it up, I’m having a few beers, and I’m swinging to the sweet sounds of 720 WGN (feeling kinda like the old days when I was a kid listening to Foley and Tallon on WBBM 780)

The Hawks have a 5-0 edge so far this series after the Sox game ends. Obviously, they’re thinking about something else.

2nd period stats
I almost forgot to do these.
Shots: Hawks: 12 — Flames: 8
Hits: Hawks: 13 — Flames: 5
Faceoffs: Hawks: 15 — Flames: 7
Blocked Shots: Hawks: 5 — Flames: 3
Complete turn-around from the first period statistically. We dominated them in hits and faceoffs, and won the shots battle too.
Walker leads the ’Hawks with 4 hits. Keep up the physical stuff, Ralph.
Seabrook leads the team with 19:02 TOI, over 3 minutes more than the next highest: Keith with 15:58.
Pahlsson is tearing shit up from the spot at 8-1.
Langkow is shitting the bed at 1-8 from the spot.
Phaneuf is mirroring Seabrook with 18:36 on the ice, leading his team by far.

I think any chant is good, especially compared to the down years of Blackhawks hockey. I would love to see the return of the rockin’ Chicago Stadium atmosphere where teams were actually afraid to come into the building.

gonna be another 20 minutes before my heart rate returns to normal
2-0 is a nice start!
I was in 114 tonight as I could only get a single the day they went on sale. After sitting in various sections in the 300 level all year it was definitely a bit different. Hearing the lunatics upstairs from my seat last night was awesome. The people around me were into the game but not nearly as vocal so props to those upstairs creating the most noise. I just watched the game again as my vantage point had some holes, which is why I prefer to be upstairs but when tickets went on sale for the first two series I figured “take what you can get, it’s the playoffs!” I thought Sharp looked very good tonight. Great pass to Toews on the first goal and a nice backhand to forehand goal going full-speed after taking the pass from Kane. Ladd had some great hits and at least one quality shot. Khabibulin was his usual self playing great. A bit of a crazy scramble on the 2nd goal but he didn’t have much of a chance on the first. Kane is hanging in there with all the Keenan inspired tactics (which I loved in the early 90’s at the Stadium) by the Flames. The first two games have been entertaining and could have gone either way. It should be fun up in Calgary and would nice to see us get a lead early. Go Hawks!
Kris VERTSEEG! comments?
Someone over on Matchsticks and Gasoline posted something about him wanting someone to punish VERTSEEG! for his commetns on the CalGary bench and the Mike Cammaleri cheap shot. Anyone hear this or have a link?
Saw Vince Vaughn at the game last night...
He sat in Section 119 in the front row with some broad. He was looking fatter than ever. In fact, I’m not sure who/what looked worse, Vince Vaughn or Ryan Dempster’s blazer.
We briefly talked about Vince Vaughn last night
Also, Dempster’s jacket was awesome.
