I Drink Your Water, I Drink It Up: Hawks at Preds Preview

Images_medium @ Predators1
GAMETIME:  7pm
TV/RADIO- Comcast, WIND 560 AM
OPPOSITION BLOG:  On The Forecheck

That's what the Hawks have a chance to do to Nashville tonight.  A regulation win would put a huge dent in the Preds playoff hopes, depending on what St. Louis does.  Also, if Calgary wins tonight in Vancouver, and the Hawks win, that will wrap up the 4th seed.  If Vancouver wins, the Hawks will still just be two points short of cinching up home-ice in the first round.  There, that's all out of the way.

However, this will be a stiffer (heh, you said stiffer) test than the Hawks faced last week at the UC, and that's due to the return of Jason Arnott.  The captain returned to the lineup on Saturday against Columbus with three points in a 5-4 win over the panting-to-the-finsih-line Jackets.  He's always been a headache for the Hawks, and tonight will probably be no different.  Secondly, this is the Preds home finale, so expect a pretty electric atmosphere in a building where the Hawks have not fared too well anyway.  Thirdly, the Preds finish the season in Detroit and in Minnesota, and will probably think they have to have this one.  The Hawks won't face a more desperate team than the one they get tonight.

Haven't heard who will start in net tonight for the Hawks, but judging by the way Khabby stoned the BJs on Sunday I would imagine he would get the return engagement tomorrow, so Huet tonight.  But I suck at these sort of things.  Troy Brouwer may return tonight as well, and that will be a small boost to a power play that has been downright offensive.  He'll cause more traffic in front, if nothing else. 

That's all there is to it.

I chanced across this site a while ago when trying to dig out some info for a pool I’m in: http://goaliepost.com/

Saves lots of time when you don’t have to do the hunting yourself. The site provides a link to the Sun Times mentioning Khabby is the starter tonight.

Brouwer be back tonight would be a good thing if for nothing more than he seems much more willing to plant his big ass in front of the net than certain other big players on the team.

Vancouver's tanking on purpose

I swear to god they want to face the Blackhawks in the playoffs. All they had to do was show up AT HOME against the injury-plagued Avalanche and what do they do? Choke on a big bag of dicks.

Wasn’t there something about a player on the team’s fiance dying in a car crash the day before the game or something? I suspect their minds were elsewhere.

Oh. That’s right. But I’m still pissed they’re tanking.

by Sportsgal on Apr 7, 2009 3:13 PM CDT up reply actions  

They’re not tanking on purpose. They’re just sucking, it’s in their DNA at times. After a few months of excellent hockey, it’s only natural they pick NOW to revert back to their January ways. Ugh.

Streams

Here is your best bet to find a stream of any game. Here is a tutorial on how to get the shit up and running.

I cannot personally vouch for this software, as I have yet to install it myself. PuckYou on UStream will be carrying Stars/Wild and then Avs/Sharks, so I think if you want Nucks/Fires you’re going to have to install that stuff, and in reading this you absolve me of wrongdoing if the conficker worm melts your CPU and eats your brain as a result of trying to watch eeleegul streemz on teh intertubez.

If the stuff I just posted ins’t kosher and in any way jeopardizes the fine people at CI/SCH, hopefully a helpful mod person can just delete it. I figured since it was asked for openly it would be cool to post that stuff, but if that is not allowed let me plead ignorance and throw myself on the mercy of the court. Please don’t get me upstairs and get me outta here. I mean…when was the last time YOU read a TOS?

Your gametime video feed and beer

Thanks to some new-jack asshole — I’m looking at you, G.S. Clam — my secret is out on the video feeds. (Because it may not be entirely apparent: I’m just kidding. I’m not actually angry that you provided a helpful link, G.S. Clam.)

However, I know quite a few of you use the links I post here, so I’ll continue to do the leg work. It makes me feel important, and it gives me an excuse to post about beer every game. If there is a video feed, I will find it.

As of right now, though, there is no video feed that I can find. We’ve only had a couple games go feed-less since I started these posts, and it’s still 2 1/2 hours before game time, so I wouldn’t worry about it too much. Trust the internet. Love the internet and it will love you back.

And for your beer:

Wychwood Hobgoblin
I can’t say much about it, since I haven’t yet had it (I plan on having one tonight), but my brother just informed me of how good it is. He might be around in the comments later, so maybe we’ll get his input. I trust his opinions of beer, so I’m willing to put it here as a recommendation. That and I can get a bomber (22 oz.) for $2.49 at the grocery store around the corner — which is a ridiculous price for any bomber, let alone a good English ale.

So, everybody keep your pants on. A feed will probably pop up.

Go Hawks!

I was in Peoria for work a few days last December.

I established a pretty fool proof routine in terms of enjoying the Peoria Nightlife. Start with some bar close to Big Als that had this beer on special. Drink 5 or 6. Go to Big Als. Get 5 or 6.

Got more soul than a sock with a hole.

I cracked this open at 3:30 today when I sat down to play some NHL 09. I was just in a beer mood, I guess. Found this stuff at the grocery store for ridiculously cheap. I wonder if they were just trying to get rid of old stock…

Any way…the taste surprised me. It was pretty mellow in the mouth, and had a really nice aftertaste as it went down. Didn’t go very well with my Ritz and cheese though. :(

I’m not much for writing reviews, sorry, lol.

I’m pretty sure the price was just this single store. All their other bottles from the same brewery were $4.something. No idea why Hobgoblin was cheap, especially since it’s one of their best beers.

Didn’t mean to steal anybody’s thunder. I recently have been scrambling to find feeds because my daughter monopolizes our tv for repeated viewings of Madagascar 2 and I end up watching the game via choppy, low quality feeds on my laptop while I am cooking dinner instead of laying on the couch and watching on my 40" HDTV while my wife brings me beers, which is how it should be, dammit.

Hank wanted to drive to his gigs in his Caddy

but the recording co said he had to ride in the bus. So he burned the bus.

I know the Bruins and Canadiens went back and forth booing each others anthems when Montreal started booing ours

I thought it was Montreal booing.. then Boston cheering during O Canada…

just tell em to cheer loudly during it too

a good chunk of the team is from Canada.

Plus I doubt the Canadians would get that we aren’t doing it to insult them. (hell, we cheered it at the winter classic in the section I was sitting in at least)
