GAMETIME: 9pm
TV/RADIO: CSN, WIND-560AM
OPPOSITION BLOG: Matchsticks and Gasoline
Tonight's Second City Viewing Place: Huettenbar in Lincoln Square, right off Western Stop on Brown Line.
First, here's an opportunity, using the Fantastic 4's Human Torch, to complain about how terrible those movies were. Completely ruined my favorite comic book character, The Silver Surfer, which will now never be turned into a good move. Damn you Jessica Alba, damn you to hell.
Now, to the real stuff. It probably sounds silly to say now, but I was never too confident about Game 3. Winning your first ever playoff game on the road seemed like a tall order, though the Hawks had every chance until Rene Bourque's goofus-goal at the end of the 2nd. I expect much more tonight.
We've already gone over the big key to tonight's game, the Hawks PP. In addition, if the Hawks keep Iginla under wraps, and Keenan has shown no signs of trying to find better matchups for him even at home, chances improve. Head over to Matchstick to see the percentage breakdown of who's playing against Iggy, and you'll be surprised at how little they changed between Games 2 and 3.
Officiating will be crucial tonight. Though this series has not displayed more than normal nastiness than any other playoff series, you can be sure that the refs will want to keep this from boling over. In fact, if the Flames are ticked off enough after the antics of Game 3, that could play into the Hawks hand. We've been waiting for the Flames to overcommit to their slob tendencies, and frankly I would love nothing more to watch them runaround head hunting and leaving Mssrs. Toews, Kane, Havlat, and Sharp with even more space to work with.
Also importantly, Khabby has to return to his star form of the first two games. Khabby wasn't bad on Monday, but he wasn't good either. I'm sure there's a couple he'd like to have back, and the Hawks can't afford any soft goals tonight. Kipper didn't let any in Monday, after questionable ones in each of the games on the West Side. He's probably due for another one tonight.
So, get the power play going, have Khabby play well, and make the Flames 3rd and 4th lines beat you. They did that on Monday successfully, but I'm willing to wager they can't do it three more times, or even one.
Let's Go Hawks;
Note: The Menage a Trois Of Idiocy that is this blog will be taking the game in at Huettenbar, McClure's and my second, possibly first, home. 4721 N. Lincoln, in the Square, and a couple hundred feet from the Western Brown line stop. Be there or be stupid, and as always, McClure will be both.

"Oh, that's easy. White Sox. I'm not one of these fair-weather fans. You go to Wrigley Field, you have a beer; beautiful people up there. People aren't watching the game. It's not serious. White Sox, that's baseball. South Side." -O'Bama
It's really too silly to talk about, Sir. I'd really just forget about...
Hunter: I don’t give a damn about what you’d rather forget about. Why were you two fighting?
Petty Officer First Class Danny Rivetti: I said, the Kirby Silver Surfer was the only real Silver Surfer. And that the Moebius Silver Surfer was shit. And Bennefield’s a big Moebius fan. And it got of hand. I pushed him. He pushed me. I lost my head, Sir. I’m Sorry.
Hunter: Rivetti, you’re a supervisor. You can get a commission like that.
[Snaps finger]
Petty Officer First Class Danny Rivetti: I know, Sir. You’re 100 percent right. It will never happen again.
Hunter: It better not happen again. If I see this kind of nonsense again, I’m going to write you up. You understand?
Petty Officer First Class Danny Rivetti: [No answer]
Hunter: Do you understand?
Petty Officer First Class Danny Rivetti: Yes, Sir.
Hunter: You have to set an example even in the face of stupidity. Everybody who reads comic books knows that the Kirby Silver Surfer is the only true Silver Surfer. Now am I right or wrong?
Ran into this article today...
I wish they’d come over to this blog and see some of the stuff written here.

The best part of this story...
… was when the guy said Burish cross checked Bourque in the throat. Fucking moron.
Yeah!
I said outloud, "So, apparently we’re negotiating where this crosscheck was now? You say head, we say (what it actually was) in the shoulder, and you come back with “throat”."

"They are!" - Pat Foley

Let's do this Hawks!
This is a huge game in my mind. Being 3-1 is WORLDS better than being 2-2. We need to get Kane some action (if he is healthy) in the scoring effort, and keep Khabby off his stomach.
I know I have not been on here much lately, but I am no bandwagoner! I just misplaced this site. Anyway, I will probably have another party for the game tonight, I can’t wait.

Beer:
Bell’s Two Hearted Ale
This beer was mentioned last game, and I’ve never had it myself. I asked my brother, Bwana, for a beer for tonight’s game, and he responded to my text messages mere seconds later with “Two hearted ale.” So, here it is. Once again, I’m catering to the tastes of Matt “Crazy Fingers” Chicagokill, who has professed his love for all things Bell’s and all things IPA on many occasions. So drink up, folks, it’s gonna be a late one.
(By the way, Matt Chicagokill, did you get my email yesterday?)
Go ’Hawks!
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
The amount of content on the blog as of late
I have a hard time believing you ever stop typing
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
And for only like $7.99 or $8.99 for a sixer, it’s easily one of the best beers for the price.

i am pretty excited for it. i just hope they won’t be picking up little pieces of kaner after the game…….
fyi walker has a -3 in all of these games so far. the lowest d-man by two points. why doesn’t johnson play?
i know
everytime i see walker out there i already tense up. he’s only good for taking up space. and helping calgary win.
Walker is about as confidence instilling on defense as Ralph Wiggum is when left alone with a box of matches

Brian Engblom is an idiot
“I think the Blackhawks made a huge tactical error in going after Ignla right now. You don’t want to get Jerome Ignla fired up.” Hey dipshit – the Blackhawks have been yapping at the Flames and Ignla during all three games. If Ignla needs some talking in GAME THREE to finally fire him up for the playoffs, then he’s really not that good of a hockey player, is he?
i love that he cut off his mullet, but now puts tons of gel on only the sides of his hair like it’s still 92. he just couldn’t handle having a normal-ish haircut for this era.
Heading out...
Leaving work, and heading straight to lincoln square. See you guys out there.

What is Ed Olczyk talking about? The refs are not going to call anything differently from the other 3 games. Please someone hire him next season so he will not be able to do anymore games….So annoying….and not funny…
From our stand point sure
but he was physical for them and has found his scoring touch in Cal-Gary.

dont ask me why, dumb flames fans
Lets Go Hawks!

haha i would definitely say it was that
my second guess was pooh bear
sounds like that
but doesn’t make very much sense. Must just be because the fans are a little slow.
by stickhandler on Apr 22, 2009 10:29 PM CDT up reply actions
hawks need to pull it together
VERSTEEG!’s goal was huge but they need another one.
We need the Flames to punch havlat in the face and piss him off again
Guaranteed goals.
White Sox: Trying to roll a hard six.
Might be a dumb question
But what counts as a hit on the stat sheet?
Does the hitee need to have possession of the puck?
Lets go Hawks! Detroit Sucks!
Don't think so
It’s an extremely subjective stat and pretty much useless because of it
by stickhandler on Apr 22, 2009 10:34 PM CDT up reply actions
puck possession is not a requirement
but it helps. And it is very subjective. Official scorer basically decides

Now I can't go to bed.
And I have to wake up at 5:30. I don’t really care, though. I’d rather lose sleep and be 4-4 going into the 3rd than be able to go to bed with a Flames blowout. Call me crazy.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE

I kow the feeling
wasn’t drinking tonight… popped open a beer after Calgary’s 4th… Opened the second one after our third… work won’t mind me being useless in the morning
by runningquicklynowhere on Apr 22, 2009 10:44 PM CDT up reply actions
I quickly contemplated that
after the chincy JOKE-nin goal. But I still thought, if they get the next goal pretty quick, we’re still in it. Then after the 3rd one, I definitely knew we were still in this. One whole period left.

From the Hawks twitter:
C of Dead… Silence. All even at 4 as the 2nd period comes to a close. Hawks now lead in shots 21-18.

VERSTEEG!!
he has two assists and a goal. game of his life maybe. might have something to do with the calder nomination………
I'm pretty sure
someone wrote his name as “versteeg.” earlier. There is your explanation.

Momentum on our side
Gotta come out firing though because all it takes is one flamer goal to change that
Lets Go Hawks!
GO HAWKS!
the start will be so important in the third. if they come out flying with the same energy they will win for sure.
I just said 3 “Our Havlats” and lit a candle. Let’s go Hawks!!!!

I Hate Bertuzzi
That is all.
An ounce of confidence can carry you a mile toward winning. Oh, and Red Wings suck.
WTF kind of powerplay is this
Lets Go Hawks!
umm...
…what happened to the effective power play?!
White Sox Baseball
Blackhawks Hockey
This time of year is great!
like Bertuzzi knows anything about penalty calling
Lets Go Hawks!
haha olcyzk: Brain Campbell the "Defenseman"
Lets Go Hawks!
Why is Walker on the ice ever when Aaron Johnson has outplayed him all year

Walker has to have pictures of Johnson defiling Q's daughter

Seabrook
Was getting out muscled in the third. Bertuzzi was distracting khabby on the fifth goal and Iginila out muscled him on the empty netter. Looked bad on one of the goals in the second period as well.
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. -- George Santayana (1863-1952)
This was (and still is) Q’s playoff problem. He seems to have an uncanny nack for not being able to motivate his teams to playoff success and continues to get out-coached. By Mike Keenan. I don’t miss him. Not. One. Bit.

It may sound crazy, but there are people in the world who don't drink.
And sometimes they have very good reasons for not doing so.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
Still (at most) two games at the UC.
They only get one more opportunity for their C of Red, awkward horn chanting, bullshit.
We’ll take it to ‘em on Friday night. I’m really not worried. A game like this our boys won’t forget…with bullshit bounces, uncalled handpasses, and coming back from three down.
