I guess they would say we could set this world ablaze: Hawks @ Suck - Game 2 Preview

Cracktheskye_medium

First off - an apology... no it's not for insulting Detroit or the Red Wings - screw that

The apology is for the mixup in last game's preview.  We used a quote from Blood Mountain and a picture from Leviathan.. yes, these are the things we worry about.

If Mastodon doesn't work this game - we'll find something else.

On to the game:

Where do you start with what needs to get better?  We'll just say this - Kane, Toews, Biscuit, Keith, Buff, Havlat - play better.  There - That oughta do it.

We've really discussed everything the Hawks need to do in the comments and other posts. 

  • Work to get the puck in deep because you're probably not going to get past Lidstrom with the puck still on your stick.
  • Don't stand around and let the Wings put on a show with their passing - get in those lanes and don't let them set it up.  It looked like they were putting on a clinic out there on some shifts.
  • Get the shot total down - if you give the Wings 43 shots more than a few of those are finding twine.
  • Step up the physical game - The Hawks did get the slight edge in the hits department, 36 to Scum's 35.  But this is really more for my benefit.  Nothing quite like seeing a Wing player blasted into the boards with a solid hit. 
  • Oh, score more goals than Detroit too.. that's a big one.

I said in a post yesterday that the Hawks blocked a season-high 20 shots and it was a joke since I didn't look at any stats.  Well I still didn't go through and check every game but I did see that in the regular season the Hawks blocked an average of 10.3 shots a game and had stepped that up to 12.5 in the playoffs so far.  So maybe I was right after all.  Hard to believe the Wings still got off 40+ shots with the Hawks blocking so many.

John over at Fifth Feather has a good article up about the ice time for Kane and Toews.  It'll be interesting to see if Q follows any of John's advice (little known fact that Q does, in fact, read all of the Hawks' blogs).  Daydream Nation barely saw any time on the ice where Lidstrom wasn't matched up with them.  Obviously Babcock (heh..cock) is always going to counter with Lidstrom and Rafalski so lets hope Q has a trick up his sleeve.

HockeeNight has a new puckcast up with a special guest, the chief from Able to Yzerman it's an awesome way to kill an hour but just a warning, there is a guy there talking about the Red Wings, so don't listen to it if you don't like opposing viewpoints. 

That it?  Yup.. OK

Lets Go Hawks

Could we refer to Toews as Whiskers for the rest of the playoffs? Maybe just some of the time? No? Okay.

Any NW suburbanites

I know there will be Hawks fans at Gators in Palatine. Might also be appropriate to destroy about 20 wings (the buffalo garlic are delicious) while watching the Hawks try and do the same.

Was hoping to meet up in downtown Arlington Heights tonight. They have Spinich/Artichoke dip. I have decided it’s my job to check that dip at all restaurants. So far only one place is close to being as good as mine.

Wore the Blackhawks polo to work, got some Moosehead in the fridge. I wish I could strap ‘em up and play tonight. A co-worker and his wife (he’s a Scum fan) invited me over to watch the game. I don’t think that’s a good idea,

Hope no one reads the headline too quickly, a little hasty scanning might leave the impression that the “hawks suck”

Dear Lord,

Help me make it through one last onslaught of Pierre McGuire scum-diarrhea courtesy of NBC/TSN. You guys are so lucky to be in Chicago world where you can simply tune into the radio for sanity. Unfortunately, there is too much of a delay to listen to WGNAM over the net while watching the game. If he proceeds as we can all expect, I’ll probably just end up hitting mute for about 80% of the skating. Time for that first frosty lager.

The Best.

It will take the Hawk’s best all around game of the year to win tonight. No excuses, no whining, no blaming the T.V. station . no puck jumped over my stick. No standing around while the red & white team skate’s. It’s just win baby win, or come back home with a black eye not with a Black Hawk.My opinion only. Let’s go Hawk’s

Do I wait for the gamefeed from Thor and watch it sporadically while at work, or do I wait til I get off work at 10:00 tonight and watch the entire game DVR’d at home tonight in the lucky Chinese Jersey.

Just great to be playing hockey at this time of year!

Disagree with many that this game is so pivotal that if the Hawks lose they’re in trouble. Even if they were to lose tonight the Hawks still have Games 3,4 and 6 at home so there is no reason to panic if that should happen, but I got a feeling that won’t happen. This team has found a way one way or another all season and playoffs long when the situation looked dire ot come up with another outstanding performance leading to a victory.
Tonight’s X-factor(s) are: Khabibulin is the key and has to be solid with ZERO bad goals against that could turn the tide against the Hawks and may be called upon to have a 50+ save performance leading to a win like he has done in 96 Game 5 for the Jets and the home finale 2 seasons ago.
And Brouwer. He needs to step his game immensely to help compliment Kane and Toews and to help at least create offensive opportunities and if he gets his chance BURY IT! something he struggled with all season. Brouwer has been, in my mind, a little of a disappointment in this season’s playoffs especially given how Byfuglien, Burish, and Hjalmarsson have stepped up their games respectively.
If they both produce the chances of a Hawks victory are very good.
LET’S GO HAWKS!!!

Shut the fuck up Pierre, have you ever heard of turnovers?!! And no, the Scum cannot outskate the Hawks! Go fuck yourself!

“Stuie is one of those guys that — just shift after shift after shift — keeps pounding guys,” Kronwall said. “His big behind has done some damage. I’m more looking for the opportunity on open ice. With Johnny, it’s only a matter of time before he also steps it up with the hitting part. By next year, he’ll be good to go.”http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_daddy/post/What-We-Learned-Our-favorite-fans-of-the-Stanle;_ylt=AgHV3NEaAh6DJV4D31oHrRpivLYF?urn=nhl,164033

do you not watch Red Wing games? He and others like Bitch Lebda wait for players to lineup off the puck and cheap hit them. Are you new to the Red Wings? They’ve been doing this for the last 5 years.

Dude You're asking 1 man to take out 3?

He did his job and took the back door pass out? You ever play the game? He can’t cover all the angles and can’t stay on his feet or it will go back door

by Roos-34 on May 19, 2009 9:38 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

where did I say that?

you’re asking a question that isn’t even a question. I’m not blaming Barker for not breaking up a 3 on 1, but it’s pointless to go for an all or nothing dive attempt when it is a 3 on 1…just try to take away the angle on the weak side of the net and let Nik have the strong side.

by Crease Monkey on May 19, 2009 9:49 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

That's the point...

he took the far side pass out, you have to rely on a back checking fwd to get back and get the trailer. 1 person can’t cover all the passes available on a 1 on 3. Not picking a fight but as a lifelong defender i can’t stand the criticism in a situation like that, that’s all.

by Roos-34 on May 19, 2009 9:52 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

if he stays on his feet in the back door lane

he has a shot at the drop to the trailer. Just to make it obvious to help you out, sliding away on his face means there’s NO chance to get a stick in front of the pass or the trailer’s shot.

by Tiocfaidh ar La on May 19, 2009 10:03 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Not true at all

he stays on his feet and he’ll give plenty of room to get the pass across the back door or the drop. He’d have to be literally ON HIM to stop anything. When you go down the point is to use your body to block the pass across, and force a shot high above you to get to goal and hopefully/maybe your stick to block another pass

by Roos-34 on May 19, 2009 10:08 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

If you did play...

…you would know you’re supposed to stop the pass attempt and leave the shooter for the goaltender. If you actually play!

by hawks61 on May 19, 2009 10:41 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

true that

watch the replay, Fillipa had the puck already on the strong side which means you try to take away the weak side. Get it? Again, it’s not Barker’s fault though his attempt was pointless, that’s on 51’s dumbass backhand across the ice pass attempt to Barker…and on Q for actually pairing up 2 offensive D-men including this pairing who have never played well together. Don’t try to play the “have you played the game” card on people…most people who follow hockey have played on some level, it’s not a casual fan sport if you hadn’t noticed.

…it was all Campbell’s fault (too bad cause he did play and excellent game) and Barker eventually had no chance to break it up a little. Not a chance whatsoever. End in the end it is what it is and we will win Game 3!!!

Hawks61, you’re ridiculous. And you can keep calling me whatever names you want, I really don’t care. I take pride in my team but I’m not going to respond to any of your ridiculous and unnecessary namecalling. You can call me names all you want but I really could care less, you’re not gonna get the same back from me. No that does not make me a wuss or anything, but it does make me someone that has self control, something you have trouble exhibiting it seems.

yeah there's not one singular player to blame

two bad breaks lead to 2 of the 3 goals but certain players like Versteeg and JHC and most of the D-men have to be stronger. Walker was a ghost in this game too which is why I’m assuming Q broke up the pairing in OT.

gotta ask, does he shoot much? Couple of times he wandered through the zone with possession, and I was imagining every bar in Chicago yelling “SHOOOOT!”

by pepe126 on May 19, 2009 9:38 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

No.

Campbell has definitely stepped up his play of late. But his reluctance to take shots when the shooting lane is there is certainly one of his faults.

He’s definitely a think pass first, second, and third type of player.

Anyways, I’m disappointed with the outcome, but not the game. The hawks played great, and with the exception of two poor decisions at the blue line, and another unfortunately great game by Osgood, they have this game. It cannot be repeated enough, but momentum means nothing with this team. I have as much, maybe more, confidence tonight the Hawks can return the two in the UC.

But you have to admire the way the Wings play. I hope all offseason every Hawk forward reviews the tape to see how often the Wings have their sticks on the ice, blocking passes and potential passing lanes. Its impressive. That said, the Hawks are still in this.

Did anyone else see Kane glide back after the Campbell turnover? Maybe if he busts his ass he can catch the trailing 3rd man! Just plain lazy. You don’t see Havlat and Toews watching the play and the puck go into our net.

Of course he was at the end of a shit

When Samuelsson scored, that ended his shift.

Albeit, it was a 19 second shift, so Kaner can’t exactly use the excuse that he was winded.

Course, he’s not the only Hawk forward to blame there. And for the hell of it, let’s toss some blame towards Soupy’s blue line partner, Cam Barker, since he got caught deep in the offensive zone when Soupy fumbled the puck at the blueline.

In other words, no one player on that shift is to blame. The Hawks just pushed a little too hard for the OT winner, relaxed for just a bit, and allowed the Wings forwards to jump ahead of them as soon as Soupy got pressured at the blueline.

I’m sure it’s nothing that a Game 3 win couldn’t cure. But it pissed me off because it was just a dumb hockey play that lead to the game winning goal at the other end.

Why did Q change the pairings?

I was really liking Soup and Hammer together. Freed Soup up to jump into the play a little more, knowing Hjal had him covered. Barker and Campbell seem too similar to be paired together.

by hawksfan21 on May 19, 2009 11:26 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

It's a tad much to blame a guy for not catching the play when he (Kane) was at the hash marks

He looked like he skated hard enough to get back, besides Brouwer was closer to Samuelsson anyways so that was technically his responsibility.

I was speaking more to the silliness of the anti-Kane sentiment. Every time he’s out there for a goal, it seems like someone is trying to blame him for it, even if the reason borders on the ridiculous.

But you guys are all losers cause no one showed up at Harry’s from here, although there was a large crowd and it was pretty fun. You missed my hotness and my incredibly irrisistible charm.

Oh, I now understand what you guys were bitching about regarding dumb fans. I had two bimbos next to me who needed to be given the stink eye.

And IMO, the Wings are playing better than the Hawks. Then again, I think the Hawks have that “something” that could change it all around, and I think they could play better, but I’m not so sure the Wings can.

Only caught the 2nd period and OT

Wings just clog up the middle so well, reminds me of a toilet in a frat house. You Hawks are playing it closer than I thought the first 2 would be.

Datszuk looks off offensively, not sure what is wrong there. Groin?

Off side D man has to cheat a bit when Cleary is out, that speed has to be respected.

Did the Hawks dump the puck in Lidstrom’s corner any like some were recommending?

Maybe it's just me

but I don’t feel like Cleary’s goal was completely Seabrook’s fault as much as a prime example of the difference in our defensive styles. The Wings are active in their own zone, they anticipate, and they rush into passing lanes without over committing. We were better in our own zone tonight, but it’d be nice if we could D up like they were and use our speed for some more odd man rushes here and there.

by hawksfan21 on May 19, 2009 11:17 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I thought it was a prime example of being incredibly lucky

he not only got a piece of the puck but he deflected precisely past Duncan Keith to spring himself.

by El Duque's Raft on May 19, 2009 11:18 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Before he even attempted that shot in deep

I saw the lane he was attempting wasn’t there. I whispered, “Seabs, no!” but he did not hear me.

There was an element of luck involved, but luck aided by a poor decision (and good defensive positioning).

Got more soul than a sock with a hole.

by chrome on May 19, 2009 11:31 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Agreed, the decision by Seabrook was bogus

but if that play happens 100 times, 99 times the puck bounces everywhere but where it did tonight. Dem’s the breaks, I suppose.

FifthFeather.com

by El Duque's Raft on May 19, 2009 11:34 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

that's true

to an extent, there was another unlucky bounce but Seabrook has to at least knock the puck down…he’s clearly pressing trying to do too much. That said, the difference in team D between the Hawks and DET is that most everyone on Wings plays solid D…or at the least attempts to D-up…even their softer players like Hossa play D and we all know that the Hawks have multiple players (including a defenseman) who don’t show up on that side of the puck. That’s why I always find it laughable when people crack on S.Crosby because he’s wildly underrated on the D side…I’d venture to say he’s a plus defender. Anyway, it’s easier for a team like DET to get that type of team D when your two best players in Datsyuk and Zetterberg both are plus defenders (and I know a lot of “experts” that state Z-berg is the best two-way forward in the league) so it trickles down through the team rather easily. I don’t know if it’s the coaching or that certain star players aren’t being held accountable…(not just talking about Kane either) but some small changes need to be made. It would also help if the Hawks would stop all the 2 on 1’s in the corners and leaving the opposition alone around the circles.

by Crease Monkey on May 19, 2009 11:36 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

well if you're looking for a silver lining

D play is usually the last thing forwards learn how to play in the pros. It’s not like Datsyuk came into the league winning Selke’s. It takes time for them to a) realize they need to play it to win and b) learn the proper way. Just give it some time.

yeah

I pointed that out a few weeks ago that the same reservations that people have on Kane being able to play at his size people said many of the same things about Datsyuk years ago. I don’t recall Datsyuk’s early career enough to remember if he at least displayed a willingness to play defense…obviously so far Kane hasn’t.
