DON’T FORGET: YOUR SPG PICKS - remember the New Rule too
The biggest news for this one is the most troubling news. Sharp isn't making the road trip with the team with a "not serious" lower body injury. Missing Sharp is obviously a big problem for the Hawks as their major slump timed up pretty well with his initial knee injury this year. The Hawks two much more complete scoring lines when Sharp's involved, but with him out it'll be time for Kane or VERSTEEG! to step up a bit more. Those two have only 6 points combined in the last 10 games.
Though Kane has a two-game point streak going so he could be snapping out of a cold streak, especially now that the pressure's off to make the playoffs. It's seemed a bit like he's trying to make the flashy play instead of making a smart play.
According to Chris Kuc though, the injury to Sharp is his left leg, not his right knee that kept him out before. So it still seems like the rest might be more of a precaution which means we don't have to panic.
The Blue Jackets are a pretty big surprise this year, they're 3 points away from locking up their first ever playoff appearance. Of course, they're being led by the practically sure-thing for the Calder - Steve Mason
Put him in front of Hitchcock led team and you've got yourself the next Minnesota Wild... ahh fuck. This is boring, I'm bored now.
The Blue Jackets have been playing fairly consistent hockey all year but have never been spectacular. Their longest winning streak is only 4 games, but they've done it 3 times and have a few more streaks of 3 in a row. In their last 5 they're 2-1-2 which includes a loss last night to the Preds in a skills competition.
With a longer game last night and an earlier start today the Hawks should look to keep the tempo of the game up and tire out the BJs. Of course, keeping things exciting against a team led by Hitchcock is asking a hell of a lot.
Here's some other good news (for some of us anyway). I'm listening to Eddie-O call the game for the Scum/Wild so Steve Konroyd should be in the booth with Pat. Which means at least for today we could possibly blame any of Pat's mistakes on him getting lost in Steve's mesmerizing eyes.
The Canucks lost to the Oilers last night after an exciting 3rd period (6 goals in the third alone) and the Flames are off til tomorrow. So two points tonight puts the Hawks even more out in front for the final home-ice spot.
Lets Go Hawks

kane's gotta step it up
he’s been doing much better the last two games and he’s had a few close times where he could have had a goal. hopefully he can score tonight now that Sharpie is out for at least 2 games.

Yeah, Kane sure does need to step up. He has been playing timid it seems and not following through on things like chasing after the puck on give aways, rebounds, or anything that requires anything past initial effort. The last two games have been better, but he needs to step up and play like we know he is capable.
It seems ever since he took that BS hit from that douchebag Cleary and got hurt he has been skating like he is afraid to make contact with anything or he’ll get hurt again. Similar to Havlat last year. Sooner Kane realizes this is the NHL and your going to get hurt during your career pretty much no matter how you skate and starts skating his ass off and putting in the effort the better for everyone.

i also think he wasn’t on the best line. him and pahlsoon (sp?) were just not working out. i think being with havlat and toews is the best for him. he’s skating with a purpose. i was actually happy to see him get a slashing penalty because that meant he’s being more physical and not getting pushed around.

Time for the Hawks to dictate...
…it seems in the 4 previous meetings the Jackets have been allowed to dictate the pace of the game. Tonight, much like Wednesday Night, would be a nice time to not only score 1st but to initiate our will on the Jackets and see how they will respond. A wide-open game would do wonders for the Hawks for even without Sharp the Hawks still have a clear advantage in offensive firepower over the Jackets. Not to mention the Jackets played last night losing a heart-breaker to the Preds so a little bit of physicality in this game wouldn’t hurt the Hawks chances as well. Although the Hawks scored first and yet lost last time out, this time if they do it could be a lot different.
Would be nice if the Hawks could manage the same type of results against the Jackets and Preds as they did last season in late February. Hawks winning both in blowouts 6-2 then 7-2!!!

And for those of you whom a Sopel return scares the shit out of -
Looks like a return is on the horizon, though not anytime soon.
From the Article linked in the Preview:
Returning to practice was veteran defenseman Brent Sopel, who hasn’t played since Dec. 20 and is recovering from surgery on his right elbow.
“It felt good, but I’m still a ways away,” Sopel said. "It’s a tough surgery to come back from. It was good to get back out there with everybody, but I’m still not where I want to be. You don’t miss the time and all of a sudden step back in and be perfect. I’m definitely not ready to go.
“I don’t have a target date. I wanted to be back two months ago. That’s up to Joel and Dale [Tallon] and the doctors. We’ll see how it progresses. It’s been a long haul.”
by runningquicklynowhere on Apr 5, 2009 2:18 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
This is the first time that I’ve heard what his injury is. I hope to god that he doesn’t play another minute for the hawks. Anyone know when his contract is up? I’d much rather see Hendry, Hammer, or Johnson get minutes over Sopel.

by Original Six on Apr 5, 2009 3:36 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
thing is
Last year he was one of the top 3 shut down defensemen in the league. He started out the first 10 or so games on pace for that, but then something happened and he sucked for about 6 weeks before hitting IR. Have to wonder if he wasn’t playing through the injury until Wiz came off IR. Hopefully he can return to the form that he showed last season or the years before with Vancouver.

Thats true
I feel like I’m just bitter about that part when he sucked. If he can come back strong then I will happily admit being wrong and insert my foot into my mouth.

Your gametime video feed and beer
Hopefully this one works: http://www.justin.tv/jtv_sports4
Beer:
Goose Island Pere Jacques
Well, I am certainly not drinking this afternoon, but I had one of these last night and it was great. As you may already know, I’m a big fan of all most things Goose Island, and this Belgian-style Dubbel is no exception. I realize most of you aren’t going to drink a Pere Jacques this afternoon, but it’s very much worth trying if you get the opportunity. There aren’t too many American breweries that can pull of a Belgian Dubbel like this.
Let’s hope Mason doesn’t shit all over our parade.

BUFF
Ah what a look he would have had

How come
the ice is extra-double bumpy right around the place where Buff is? I hate how that always happens

Well I will say this....
The PP has been very consistent the last 5 games. We know just what we’re going to get out of it. Just about 1 scoring chance and 0 goals.

Excuse me, Mr. Kane.
Hi! My name is Sec 326 Bureau Chief. It is very nice to meet you!
Listen: the point of holding the puck forever is getting a world-beating chance on goal, and not a weak-ass pass that gets picked off, or a half-chance that is easily turned aside — like EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU HOLD THE PUCK FOREVER.

Holy crap
Did anyone else’s heart stop when Khabby fell down and the puck was right in front of the net?

Habby’s had a hell of a game, besides that one point where he decided to inspect the ceiling of Nationwide Arena.

by rthor on Apr 5, 2009 6:14 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Well...
There is good news here. With the point, the Hawks can finish no better than fifth, and the BJs can do no better in sixth. Which means we don’t have to face these clowns in the first round. And, thus, we don’t have to face Mason.
