TV: Versus RADIO: 720AM
There's an old adage that states a playoff series doesn't really "start" until the home team loses. Following that logic, and to keep things in perspective, the Hawks to this point have only done what they're supposed to do, which is retain the home-ice advantage.
For everyone that thought the United Center has been raucous over the past two games, Calgary is going to be equally as nuts tonight. There will be a lot of emotion in the building, and it is fully expected that the Flames will come out flying, hitting anything in sight. Conventional wisdom would dictate that the Hawks will just want to weather the storm, but even with the crowd on hand behind them in games 1 and 2, the Hawks found themselves down during that period.
Additionally, and though I have no statistical evidence to back this up, to me the Hawks seem to fare much better when attacking, not back on their heels waiting for the play to come to them. I will agree, however, that they will need to keep their composure during the extra curricular activities. Calgary has been wasting quite a bit of their energy as it is by bullying the Hawks in the opening minutes, only to not have enough left in the tank by the end of the game. This will only be intensified tonight, with the red-clad legions on hand for them tonight, in what is for all intents and purposes, a must-win for Calgary.
Late word coming from Calgary is that Patrick Kane will be a game time decision with an undisclosed injury. He's obviously been a target of the Flames so far, particularly Rene Bourque, so one of those hits obviously did a little more than initial appearances indicated. Though he's not been himself since the end of December, he still is always threat when he's out there, and the Hawks do rely upon that. And say what you will about him, but that little shit is a lot tougher than he gets credit for. Keep in mind, he's still only 20 years old, in an undersized body at that, is the target of every team he faces, and has missed 2 games of 166 in the last two years. I wont even speculate on the lines tonight, as Kane being out would put Fraser in, and things could get jumbled very quickly. In either scenario, don't expect Quenneville to attempt anything too unorthodox. And despite the hew and cry of the masses, yes, Matt Walker will be dressing.
On the other side of things, though, as Killion noted, Flames defenseman Cory Sarich is doubtful for the game tonight, and even if he does dress, he might end up being more of a liability than an asset in his current state, particularly with the Hawks sending wave after wave of quick forwards in against him.
If you'll allow me to mix my metaphors, there's blood in the water, don't let 'em off the ropes now, boys. (That was for all 3 of you who miss Jesse Rogers' Hawks thoughts).
REMINDER: The extended SCH family will again be at the Whirlaway Lounge at 3224 W. Fullerton Ave in Logan Square for the game this evening. Stop on by and have a beer or 17 with us. It's close to the Logan Square Blue Line stop and the Fullerton bus stops right outside the door. So don't drive you if you don't have to.
UPDATE:
So we hear that Kane misses practice and that he's "resting" and we all immediately assume he's beat up and discuss how the Hawks shouldn't let on how he can be beat up by bigger opponents..
and it turns out he has the flu.
Or at least that's the story the Hawks are sticking with for now.
From the official site:
The Hawks look to go up 3-0 in their conference quarterfinal series against Calgary tonight at 8:30 pm. Patrick Kane did not participate in the morning skate and will miss tonight's game with the flu.

Any chance you’ll have a watch party somewhere not as far west? You know, for us unemployed, broke north siders.
Are you familiar with Logan Square at 11:30 at night? I’m a girl, there’s no way in hell am I taking a bus by myself back to Wrigleyville.
If it's any consolation..
I live right by the bar and it’s not in a bad section of the neighborhood – definitely understand the concern though
The problem isn’t necessarily the neighborhood, it’s where I have to walk and wait for transportation that’s the problem.
Sorry. I forget its different taking public transit
at night if you’re alone and you have boobs.
Got more soul than a sock with a hole.
Especially in Wrigleyville.
If the Bear hunters don’t get you, the confused fratboys will.
Got more soul than a sock with a hole.
just saw the practice interview with seabs and two things:
It’s his birthday!!!!! Happy birthday Seabrook!
and i saw brent sopel also on the ice. i don’t know if that’s good or not. i’m not sure whether i’d want him or walker more on the ice.
depends if Sopel is healthy
Even at his worst he has been about Walker’s best, and that was playing with one elbow at the beginning of the year. And at his best last year he was tops in the league for PK defensemen.

Sorry Sportgal, we decided on Whirlaway because our friend owns it and we’re sure it’s a bar that will be totally focused on the Hawks. if these go over well, we’ll try and move them around a bit.

No need to apologize, I just wondered if you’d ever have a watch party in a different part of the city. It’s not like you guys need to accommodate me or anything. Especially if I’m the only person that has a problem getting out there.
I’m in the burbs and work in the morning. So Logan square would rarely work for me either

It's the 5 year anniversary of how my face looked
at that exact time 5 years ago. Except that’s not my face. I looked like a bigger asshole.
Got more soul than a sock with a hole.
well, that's weird.
it would’ve made more sense the other way.
Anyway, uh, Let’s Go Hawks?!

Beer:
Rogue Dead Guy Ale
This beer is so ubiquitous now that it’s almost up there with the macros. You’ll find it in almost any bar or liquor store, and it’s not very expensive. However, it is damn good and a great session beer.
Go ’Hawks!
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
I'm a few weeks late.
But I finally had the game time beer for sometime in March – La fin du Monde – for last Saturday’s game. One of the finest beers my tongue has ever tasted. Thanks for putting it on the radar.
Got more soul than a sock with a hole.
Absolutely! Glad you enjoyed it.
I figure people don’t go out right after I post these and buy the beer in time for the game, so my purpose is really just to suggest some good beers that aren’t “on the radar” for a lot of people.
For the most part, I try to post beers that could be found in Chicagoland with minimal searching, and beers that would be good “gametime” beers — that is, relatively drinkable beers. Because of this, I often don’t post some of the higher ABV, rarer beers that I’ve had. I don’t really want to send anyone on a “wild HopSlam chase,” and it would be ridiculous for me to post Three Floyds Dark Lord, which is only sold one day out of the year. (Incidentally, my brother will be going this year — next weekend, April 25 — and will be coming home with 12 22oz bombers of Dark Lord.)
I guess what I’m trying to say is that I wouldn’t post Goose Island’s Bourbon County Stout — an overpowering, bourbon-soaked, 13% ABV monster of a beer — as suggest that anyone drink it as a good companion to a hockey game. Is it good, though? You bet your sweet ass.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
I have been noticing that Founders is becoming more common around here
I’m stuck in Aurora for job training all week, so I am drinking Heinekens, but I really suggest people give there brews a try
"...and when it comes to baseball, we have two favorite clubs: the Go-Go White Sox...and whoever plays the Cubs!!!"
I posted Founders Double Trouble IPA on March 11th
Really cool bottle art and very good beer. I’ve heard Founders Kentucky Breakfast is incredible.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
Founder's Breakfest stout is awesome
A few days ago I tried Avery’s IPA which was pretty good, I still think Two Hearted is my favorite IPA.
Founders x2 IPA is close to Hopslam IMO.
Hopslam was all over Rockford this year, I could probably still get a sixer at a nearby grocery store
"...and when it comes to baseball, we have two favorite clubs: the Go-Go White Sox...and whoever plays the Cubs!!!"
Hoppin Ottin
by Anderson Valley is another must try IPA I have had recently
"...and when it comes to baseball, we have two favorite clubs: the Go-Go White Sox...and whoever plays the Cubs!!!"
I'm talking about
Kentucky Breakfast Stout: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/1199/19960
I’d be very surprised to find HopSlam anywhere at this point, and that $17 for a sixer sounds like a deal right now.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
I have to stop by this place more often for the beer talk.
An ounce of confidence can carry you a mile toward winning. Oh, and Red Wings suck.
Good to know. I’m not sure of the availability of some of these in Denver but I know of a few bars that may have some of these.
An ounce of confidence can carry you a mile toward winning. Oh, and Red Wings suck.
I'm sure your selection of local brews is incredible though, being Denver and all.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there were beer bars that have a lot of good American craft/micros in Denver.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
Damn that looks good
I’ve heard of it, gonna have to see if I can find it
I’m not as into the stouts in the summer though… but if I can find that I’m going to grab it
"...and when it comes to baseball, we have two favorite clubs: the Go-Go White Sox...and whoever plays the Cubs!!!"
It'll probably be hard to find.
It’s not a year-round brew — I’m not sure when they brew it though. I know my brother was able to get one in the fall in the NW ’burbs.
And yeah, I agree. Stouts are nice and comforting when it’s snowing outside, but give me an IPA or a good American wheat (Oberon and Gumballhead come to mind) on a nice spring/summer day.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
Is HopSlam a Bells beer?
That shit will get you FUCKED up. I had one the other night when I was in Michigan. I was drunk after three sips.
First batch of the year just came out a few weeks ago!
Get it while it’s fresh. It was the gametime beer a few games ago.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
Yea I saw your post
Made my mouth water, I can’t wait for my week in Northern lower peninsula and a whole mess of Bells varities
Kane not playing tonight????
I hear Patrick Kane is hurting and is a game time decision. Anyone know what is wrong with him??? Maybe he is just banged up. We need him bad I hope he plays!
Psh
He hasn’t been that good for a while, except for that nice pass to Sharp on Saturday. Nonetheless, his presence is needed, for whatever reason
So Far West?
Heh, I forget anything West of Damen is considered the burbs….
We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold.
Chilvalry?
How come nobody has offered to walk Sportsgal to the damn bus stop after the damn game? Jesus.
I like boobs.
The Fullerton bus stops at Kedzie and Fullerton… right across the street. The Blue line stop is 2-3 blocks north
Does the fullerton bus run all night? I’d still have to stand out there by myself and wait for the damn thing. Plus I’d have to take another bus or the el north which would put my traveling time at about 45-60 minutes.
I know it doesn’t seem like a big deal to take the bus by yourself after 11pm, but unlike me, you’ve probably never had a smelly homeless person offer to expose himself to you while riding the bus.
Kane is out with the flu, not an injury
Wasn’t sure if that was discussed earlier when I was at the gym.
I sure hope the 'Hawks go far in the playoffs
so I can go to one of these drunken shitshows hockey-watching excursions. (I don’t graduate until May and will be in Iowa until then)
It’ll be a tough conversation when I tell my girlfriend I’m going to meet my “internet friends” from the “hockey blog” at a bar.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
I should be home for the end of the conference finals...
So yes, deep indeed.

Will they review this?
They claim the puck didn’t go all the way over the line. Why aren’t they showing a replay?
They just did
The goalie got there just in time.
Ahh
I am stuck with VS because, for some reason, Center Ice isn’t carrying the CSN feed tonight.

Highly disturbing FML that was just recently put up.
Today, I was at the gynocologist and he was performing a routine check-up. He was a new doctor and I was just slightly uncomfortable with him. About mid-check-up, as he felt around my uterus, he said in a cartoonish voice, “oh, it’s so squishy up here.” The doctor turned me into a sock puppet. FML.

I was watching a behind the scenes show on the NHL channel (is it called dropping the puck?) with some kid from the Hurricanes. They had him miked up for a game against the Rangers and he got into it with Avery. He told Avery “you should stick to buying purses and shoes” when he was matched up with him on the faceoff. it was hilarious!

Agreed
sure is about time he started playing like a first round pick. I wouldn’t mind seeing more of that line combo either. Maybe finally found a big(ger) man who not only try but can keep up with Toews and Sharp.
