Game 5: The Big Takeover - Flames @ Hawks

I'm back on the preview for this game since I wrote them for the first two games and things turned out well, McClure and Sam just messed it all up for the next two.

Without a doubt, this is the biggest game most of these Hawks have played in their lives.  And getting them to play it back at the United Center should be one hell of a boost.  So if you're going to the game, as always, be loud.

The bad news is obviously that things are all shifting over the Flames' favor.  For the most part, they've gotten better in each game.  While the Hawks haven't been able to step up their game the way they did in the second and third periods of game two.  Momentum is definitely on the Flames' side. 

Here's the thing though, momentum is pretty much bullshit.

Kent over at Matchsticks and Gasoline made this point that's worth making here.  Way too much is made of this phenomenon.  So when someone tells you the momentum is going to carry the Flames for these next few games, punch them.

If momentum meant anything, the Flames would have crushed the Hawks in Game 4 after the second period when Jokinen buried his second goal.  But they didn't.

If momentum meant anything, the Hawks would have come out in the third and put their foot firmly on the Flames throats.  But they didn't.

Look no further than the fact that every team that has scored first in this series has lost. (Don't let that fool you though, we want the Hawks to score first still)

Momentum exists, but it doesn't take much to change it.  The only way the momentum can kill the Hawks is if they let it.

So the Hawks need to come out early in this game and show they're not going to give up.  Sam mentions this in the Indian today (please buy it so they sell out and don't have to wait around in the rain forever) but the Flames are playing probably as close to their best given the injuries they're facing.  Especially with Iggy stepping up his game, a very unwelcome sight for Hawks fans.  The Hawks meanwhile have much further to go to hit their peak.  They haven't played a full game yet, not even close.

So we'll need to see who steps up, who is injured and who wilts.  Toews for probably the first time ever, was no where to be seen last game.  I don't think he's hurt so lets chalk it up to an off night.  Keith may be nursing something, but two days off hopefully helped him.

The Hawks have said they're not going to panic and they're sticking with Khabby for tonight's game.  I think it's the good move since two days rest should be enough to get him back on track.  Lets not forget that he owns the Flames. 

Anyone hoping the Flames would be horribly depleated due to injuries are in for some bad news.  Flames insider is saying Conroy, Langkow and Bourque are all back in.  They'll be far from 100% though. 

I'm way too nervous to write anymore and have been all day - I'm not even going to check if what I just wrote makes any sense.  Lets get a win tonight boys.

Lets Go Hawks

Do you get the feeling that this is going to be the “series to watch” in the first round? Cause I do.

This and

The Jersey Carolina series have been the best so far, though in that series I am reduced to rooting for the ice to melt.

Nope

 I like hitting and didn’t see any mashing tonight. Blues Nucks has mashing all game long.

Momentum

Is a very fleeting to thing.

And even then, it hardly carries over from one game to the next.

In Q, in Captain Serious, in Jesus Havlat I trust. In Dunc and Biscuit I trust. I trust in Campbell to dig deep and find his heart and play his best game of the series. Buff will play large, I trust in him; I have to. Walker will play well enough, and Hjalmarsson will not play nervous. Barker will hit hard and pass crisply; Burish and Eager will bark and bite; faceoffs will go our way—I trust in all of it. Kane will revel in the hits he gets, Sharp will have a step on everyone. Bolland and Ladd will suffocate their opposing lines. Khabby will be a concrete wall.

Has nothing whatsoever to do with how the Flames play.

The Hawks are simply due to play the game they’re able to play. Let’s trust them to do it.

Your gametime video feed and beer

Even though a couple feeds were already posted in my absence, here’s another one:
http://www.atdhe.net/5638/watch-calgary-flames-at-chicago-blackhawks

And even though it’s late, here’s a beer for the sake of tradition:

Three Floyds Dark Lord
This beer is incredibly rare and NOT a good beer for drinking during a hockey game, but I’m posting it today in honor of Dark Lord Day, which was today. It’s the ONE day out of the year that Three Floyds sells Dark Lord, their behemoth Russian Imperial Stout which clocks in at 13% ABV. My brother had the privilege of going today and brought home 8 delicious bottles of Dark Lord.

The only way you’ll be able to get a bottle is through trading or going to Dark Lord Day, but it’s regarded as one of, if not the best American craft brews, so I figured it was worth a gametime beer post.

Even though this is a late post, let’s finish this shit and get some more goals.

Go Hawks!

Absolutely Speechless!!!

With the season on the line (Wouldn’t want to go back to Calgary down 3-2) the Hawks came up with the most dominant performance of the year. Unbelievable! I knew the Hawks would come out inspired but never did I think this team would play like that; that was domination in every aspect. The way they moved the puck on the PP and killed off that 5-on-3 PP was simply astonishing and Khabby came up big when called upon.
It may have been one of the most dominating playoff performances EVER by any Hawks squad that I can remember. I’ve seen some dominance of the years like Game 1 vs. Edmonton 8-2 in the 1992 Conference Finals or Game 7 vs. the Blues in the 1990 Norris Div. Final but nothing like this! To complete overtake your opposition for a full 60 minutes in this type of enviroment Game 5 at home to boot was phenominal.
Let’s finish them off Monday boys! Great effort!!!

LOL!!!

I guess we won’t be hearing from flameskiprusoff2004 any time soon! Hopefully for his sake that the boxes of Kleenex are on sale in Upstate New York for he’ll be in dire need of those tissues after tonight’s contest.

I was at the game

The anthem was so awesome. It was deafening. I could barely hear myself, and I know I was yelling as loud as I could.

I was going to try to get a “Kiiiiipper, Kiiiiipper” chant going in the 2nd period when he was in goal on my end of the ice, but I didn’t feel comfortable doing it after Calgary scored and then he got pulled after the Hawks scored. Oh well.

Anthem was definitely louder tonight than it was for Game 2. Building was rocking tonight.

dunno

wasn’t at Game one, but Quenville actually said during the post game he had some trouble last night being heard on the bench and kept mentioning how loud the anthem was.
