It's Right Outside Your Door: Game 6 Preview - Hawks up in the series 3-2

Is this game more important that Game 5?  Probably not.  But no one wants to see this series go to 7 games.  We want the Hawks to end this tonight.  Pittsburgh won a Game 6 on the road in Philly this weekend - The Hawks are going to need to do the same tonight.  Hopefully without having to dig out of a 0-3 hole.

Just like every game in this series (except maybe the last one), it's not going to be easy.  Read most of the media reports and they won't hesitate to mention that plenty of the Flames have been in elimination games before while few of the Hawks have ever had the chance to end a team's season. How much stock should you really put into that?  Hell if I know. 

The Hawks know that the Flames are going to come at them with absolutely everything they've got.  The real question is though, is that going to be enough?  We've pointed out over and over in this series that the Flames are a beat up team on the wrong side of all the injuries.  With players like Bourque, Langkow, Sarich and others all playing at far less than 100% added on to the fact that Phaneuf is out tonight it certainly isn't going to be easy for them to deal with the Hawks.

What else can the Flames throw at the Hawks in their depleated state that they haven't seen already?  The only thing that still scares me as a Hawk fan is Iginla.  We've said all year that he scares the shit out of us.  Luckily the Hawks have found a way to contain him for the most part.  But he's still shown flashes of the monster we know he is.  I can't imagine he's going down without trying to push it up to an unseen level. 

What the Hawks have to counter Iginla is our own playoff monters - Toews.  6 points has him tied for 4th overall among players in the Playoffs.  He's averaging 16:05 TOI which puts him just out of the top-10 for forwards.  He's winning 61.8% of his faceoffs.  He's leading the Hawks and is 6th overall for +/- and his corsi rating for the team is only beat by Barker and Kane.  He had an off night in Game 4 but other than that he's been just what you want to see out of him in his first Stanley Cup Playoff series.

The shell that is Kiprusoff may have reached a breaking point in Game 5 after being pulled.  I can't find video of it but he certainly wasn't happy after getting yanked.  I'd imagine with the pressure put on him he's ready to break anyway and that may put him over the edge.  Hell - or it might give him Khabby like focus and he plays great.

No one knows exactly what will happen but the Hawks will ultimately decide who wins this game.  If they play at or even just close to how they played Saturday the Flames cannot beat them - it's that simple.  If they let the crowd/pressure get to them though then we could see a Game 7. 

As I mentioned earlier - some people asked if we're doing another SCH Road Watch for tonight's game.  And the answer is.. not really.  Some of us will be at the Huttenbar like we were for Game 4.  If the weather is lousy I'll probably be at The Whirlaway like we were for Game 3, if it's not, then I might head up to Huttenbar too.  Both bars should be showing the game so you can't go wrong.

Four cups of coffee and an annoying day at work.

I’d reach out and hit something / someone. But that would be illegal and just plain wrong. The Hawks, however, have no such restriction.

Hopefully, we can score a couple of quick ones, so that I do not move from being twitchy, to being stabby.

Come on, Hawks! Let’s do this!

I’m going to go with my brother’s recommendation on this one, since I haven’t had it yet. (Trader Joe’s in Iowa? Yeah, right.) He says it’s good, and he’s probably right. Also, it’s only $6 for a six-pack — so it’s got that going for it. I’m going to check it out when I get home, but for now it’s your gametime beer. I’ll let him chime in if he makes it to the gamethread tonight.

I really don’t want the stress of a game 7, so let’s finish this shit tonight.

Go Hawks!

The label says true Hefe’s have citrus, bubblegum, banana, clove. Two of these stand out in this beer. Bubblegum and banana. Especially the banana. It’s a very drinkable beer, and very refreshing. It’s not the best Hefe in the world, but the price might have me buying it again.

Tonight's the Night...

…everything’s going to be alright ‘cause there ain’t nothin’ goin’ to… stop us now!
The Hawks should win tonight’s contest no matter what Iggy does in his attempt to win. In the end the Flames don’t have enough healthy bodies to compete in this game not to mention how deflated the Flames must have been after being demolished Saturday in such a pivotal game.
Iginla is tremendous leader and competitor but he cannot do it alone. What has Bertuzzi done? Cammallerri? How many more goals do the Flames think Moss, Bourque, Nystrom, and Boyd have left in them? Kipper… is he worn out? Too may questions about the Flames going into tonight’s contest.
Add to the fact that Keenan today publically pleaded with his team to put up a tremendous effort tonight. Pleaded!…at this time of year? Practices not going well Iron Mikey? Team has turned the other way and stopped listening? Maybe the boys are sick of your constant whining just like most Hawks fans are?
The end is nigh Calgary, the end is nigh!
LET’S GO HAWKS!!!

by hawks61 on Apr 27, 2009 6:53 PM CDT reply actions  

I was looking for video of Kiprusoff’s tantrum online for a while at work today too and couldn’t find anything. Calgary Sun tore Keenan up over it though; pretty much tore the whole team up. Was up in Standing Room at the game so we didn’t even notice anything happened on the bench so I’d love to see it.

Anyway, Hawks need to come out firing on all cylinders tonight just like they did Saturday. Look for the Flames to take another dumb penalty early trying to start shit after the whistle too. I am also amazed that after Brashear got his league authorized vacation today for a head hit that Keenan hasn’t been whining that Barker shouldn’t get one for touching Phadouche. I am sure it will happen at some point.

Khabibulin catches ride with reporters after Blackhawks team bus leaves without him

By Chris Kuc

CALGARY — The Blackhawks’ team bus left the Pengrowth Saddledome following the morning skate in preparation for Game 6 of the Western Conference quarterfinals against the Calgary Flames without one key member. Monday night’s starting goaltender, Nikolai Khabibulin, walked out the door to see the bus leaving without him.

The veteran was forced to share a cab back to the team hotel with a couple of Chicago sportswriters, including this reporter. He’s no doubt hoping things go a little more smoothly tonight as the Hawks look to clinch the series.

Hawks defenseman Matt Walker is scheduled to play tonight despite suffering a dislocated finger in Game 5 on Saturday night. The video of the play and the aftermath is below. Check out the reactions of the women behind the Hawks’ bench. If you’re squeamish about such things, don’t watch.

All-Star defenseman Dion Phaneuf won’t play for the Flames tonight, according to coach Mike Keenan.

Phaneuf was injured during a third-period collision with the Hawks’ Troy Brouwer in Game 5 on Saturday night and left the contest wobbly on his skates.

The Flames are already without the services of defensemen Robyn Regehr (knee), Rhett Warrener (shoulder), Mark Giordano (shoulder) and winger Wayne Primeau (foot).

Losing Phaneuf is the biggest blow, however, as Calgary’s top defenseman had 11 goals and 36 assists in the regular season and is a physical presence along the Flames’ blue line. Keenan said Phaneuf is “day-to-day,” but with the Flames facing elimination from the series he may have played his last game of the season.

Well

They did get outshot, and the Flames did have a lot of decent pressure at time. It was a much more even period than in game five. If we keep giving them chances, we are either going to need more goals or Khabby is going to have to win it for us. We need to carry the play some more.

Well...

That was about as good a first period as can be expected. Looks like Calgary’s M.O. is going to be hoping for redirects/rebounds as most of their shots have been big blasts from between the blue line and the circles. That means a higher likelihood of a breakaway goal, which ought to shut up the fans real good like.

Khabi has to stay on his game.

…after 13 years of frustration the Hawks have finally won a playoff series! WoooooHoooo on to round 2 to face Lou and the Canucks! Great game by Khabibulin 43 saves simply remarkable, his best game of the season for sure. Kane and Toews phenominal as usually with Campbell? and Byfuglien? with great games I dare say? Byfuglien with 3 points are you kidding me? Campbell finally scores and is not a detrement on defence, and to top it all off Walker didn’t look lost tonight, in fact he looked as if he belonged on the ice-scary!
