GAME TIME: 2:00 Central
OPPOSITION BLOG: Winging It In Motown, Able to Yzerman, On The Wings
TV: NBC RADIO: WGN 720AM - I think
DON’T FORGET: YOUR SPG PICKS
These previews are a little bit cluttered, aren't they? Anyone mind?
Moving on.
If you're like me, you're shifting from unrelenting optimism to panic attack like states of worry. But it's never unrelenting dread - that's important.
The Hawks can beat this team. The Ducks pushed the scum to the brink with a physical game and outstanding goaltending. The Hawks proved they can play the physical game in the first two series. They showed that if a team wants to run and gun, they can do that too.
The key to this game and this series is going to come down to Khabby vs. Elroy. Scum fans hate when you point this out, but Osgood really isn't that good of a goalie. .887Sv% during the regular season. As usual, he's stepped up his game in the playoffs though and is riding a .921% now. Of course, Luongo had a Sv% of .962 before the second round... just saying
Lets hope for more of Buff's magic.
Khabby had a fantastic series against the Flames, not so much against the Nucks. The Wings have a better offense than either of those teams so we'll need Khabby to play lights out and hopefully steal a game (or two) like he did against the Flames. The good news is that Khabby made big save after big save against the Nucks he's playing better than his stats make it look.
If one of these goalies breaks down, it can and will cost the team the series.
Something else the Hawks will need to focus on - keeping Pavel "Simple Jack" Datsyuk and Marian Hossa (no need for a pithy nickname when your first name is Marian - why do you think John Wayne changed his name?) in their slumps.
We're just about 2 hours from the puck drop - that feeling of puking has returned. I've got nothing left to say. It's time to get this going.
Lets Go Hawks

how the heck is it STILL two hour before the puck drops? (hour and a half to game time, plus NBC’s usual 30 minutes of blather)
Did Superman turn the world backwards again? I swear my clocks aren’t moving…
Anyway, let me offer a amendment to one of your statement…which I’ve said before over the past couple of days….Wings fans are resigned to hearing that Ozzy sucks…and invite you to keep underestimating the guy.
That said, I’m thinking today will be a 5-3 Hawks victory, so enjoy, and try not to have a heart attack when Datsyuk finally scores a goal..
Well thats assuming
I don’t have a heart attack while NBC is doing their little intro shit. The anticipation at that point may kill me.

Haven't heard "Leviathan" yet...
I hope it helps in any way shape or form to make this team win this series. I am still busy listening to “Crack The Skye”. Mastodon was on Letterman last week, blew my mind. Yeah, Opeth need some mass love also. No pregame on any network today? DROP THE PUCK!!!

Sorry for screaming like that… but there’s only 20 minutes to go and I’m worked up like a frothing mastodon on meth hunting for his missing tusk.

Your gametime video feed and beer
Did you guys miss me? I haven’t posted in a couple days due to graduation and moving… but now I’m back, and I’m ready to annoy the shit out of all of you again. And now back to your regularly scheduled program.

Beer:
Three Floyds Gumballhead
I know, I know. I don’t like repeating beers on here, but I have a good reason for this one. For me and quite few other readers and commenters here, our “summer” has officially begun. I know a few others on here have graduated recently, and many others have just finished up their spring semesters. (And then there are the few who have kids who just finished up spring semesters or graduated, ya old bastards.) So, even though we’re having a somewhat brisk day in the Chicagoland area, I’m re-posting what is probably my favorite “summer” beer.
To ease the pre-game jitters, I just finished up a 6-mile run, and now I’m listening to Blood Mountain and watching my brothers play NHL ‘09. If there’s anything (else) I want for graduation, it’s a Blackhawks win in Fucktown — that’s my blatantly uncreative new nickname for Detroit.
Go Hawks!
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
Thank-you!
My BP just dropped to manageable levels and I am now practicing breathing in through my nose and out through my mouth (when it’s not full of beer).
"Call Detroit, tell dem... BULLSHIT!"

Norton AFB here in SoCal was where I used to fly out of. Miss that sound of the straining C-141s and C-130 flying out. It went dark in the late 80s.

Used to go there when the Chicago Air Show would be on as they would stage there.

Start the game already!!!
I’m dying over here! Minutes are going by like hours and it’s only half hour till game time! I don’t know whether i’m excited, nervous, sick to my stomach, or all of the above but it feels great! Let’s see if Buff can get in Ozzy’s head like he did Luongo’s. Putting his mammoth sized ass in front of his face would help too. A quick goal like Hjalm had against them in the season finale would be great, help take the crowd out the game. I’m just hoping the Hawks keep their focus and stay out of the box or it’s going to be a long series. Let’s Go Hawks!!!
Prediction: Hawks 5-3, with an empty-netter at the end.
I couldn't wait this morning
I had to play NHL2K9 (I know I know, not as good as NHL ‘09) most of the morning playing Hawks vs. Wings…updated rosters and lines to current. Also, played with the ’92 and ’71 Hawks…it helped, for a while, being it’s hockey and all, albeit video game.
I can’t wait any longer!
LET’S. GO. HAWKS!!!

Im old enough, I just don’t remember the wire covering. Started watching HAwks in 1967 as a Blues fan. In fact I think TOny O came up through STL with Braves, Hawks minor league team. If so I saw him in 1965, 66 before the Blues came to town
Dum spiramus tuebimur
just checked, it was Phil Esposito who came up through STL. A center in 1963/64

Intermissions are all about adjustments.
The Hawks came out flying in the first period, but Detroit made the better adjustments during the first intermission. Now it’s the Hawk’s turn to make some adjustments and grab the momentum back. First we gotta get Kane and Toews into this game. Look for coach Q to switch up the lines a bit, maybe put Daydream Nation with JHC to get them going. Down 2-1 going into the 3rd, we’ve got em right where we want em. Right?

my reason for posting here is to get a view from the other side, and as has been pointed out elsewhere, that there isn’t a Red Wings blog with a game thread that matches the style I like.
I’m not coming in here being an asshole and a troll, I’m just cheering for the other side. You got a problem with that? Fine….but that says a lot more about you than it does me…
Getting a view from the other side means looking at comments. You’re just a loser that likes to make himself feel better by provoking the opposition. Crawl back into the hole you came from, asshat.
that's what she said
besides, I went on Pensburgh last year during the SCF, and I call myself a pens follower now, for having stuck around the whole year with those guys…probably won’t happen with the hawks because they’re in the same division as the Red Wings, but…
That's cool
We have enough Johnny-come-latelys. You can stick to the Wings bandwagon… until they start to suck again, when you can suckly on Kid Sid alone.

Question?
So when the game’s already out of reach and there’s a nudge…they call a penalty on Campbell? How about the 7 or 8 obvious no-calls in crucial swings of the game?
Hawks didn’t play great…had chances…but come on refs…let’s be objective here.
It obviously wasn't decided by the officiating
Detroit just took about 6 minutes to get their legs under than and after that, they dominated.
But to make THAT call when you let so much other crap go (from both teams) just leaves me scratching my head.

Agreed.

There weren’t more fights at the end.

why disappointed at there not being more fights? As you might recall, the Ducks tried to thug it up at the end of Game 6 against the wings, and that didn’t work out so well for them…
yeah but
NBC turned the camera away from anything that even started to look close to a scrum. Friggin sugarcoated network coverage is awful. And really, how many Wimbeldon ads did we have to sit through? Hockey fans are so the target audience for that…

Gotta bounce back Tuesday.
Anyone else?
Did anyone else find the game on both ends by both teams, plain ol’ sloppy? No crisp passing, skating, plays. Lots of crazy bounces and a total douche bag (Lucky Pierre) washing Detwat’s balls the entire game.
I said this before...
You can’t play dump the puck with the Detroit Red Wings. We might be the faster team, but it makes no difference if you don’t win the battles on the boards. If guys like Havlat keep trying the fancy spin move when bringing the puck in the zone, we’re not going to get the offensive opportunities we need to win.
Overall, Q is going to need to make a great deal of adjustments. He’s got to figure out a way to get Kane and Toews back to being offensive threats, and he needs to make sure the defense STOPS STANDING AROUND!
that's what she said
It blows my mind. Vancouver was guilty of doing that against the Hawks. Now the Hawks do it against the Wings? Man oh man
