Overthinking Overanalyzing Separates The Body From The Mind: Wings at Hawks Game 3 Preview

Far be it from me to abandon Mastadon, they've taken us so far in these playoffs. But desperate times call for desperate measures, so I'm calling in the big boys. It's time for what Mastadon was partially derived from, a member of my holy rock trilogy, Tool (Tool and GNR form the base with Zeppelin on top, for those curious). Not only Tool, but my favorite and perhaps best Tool song, the title track off Lateralus.
We can break this down every which way, but you know the deal by now. The Hawks have to be perfect to win. That sounds like a mountain of a challenge, but they weren't far away in Game 2. Now they need that extra little jump. What they can't do, as they've done pretty much every home playoff game save Game 5 against Calgary and Game 6 against Vancouver, is come out flat, or tentative. They'll be down three or four before they know it, and we'll all dream about shaving again.
The Hawks need to come out as if their lives depend on it, because they do. I'm banking on the fact Scum know they only really need one of the next two to end this, and if the Hawks swarm them from the outset and get up one or two, maybe they figure they can ride this out and start again on Sunday. Then again, a machine like the Wings smells blood, and just might go for the kill from the get-go, though that didn't happen in Game 6 against Anaheim.
One thing to watch is the Wings legs. Babcock was upset they didn't have much jump in Game 2, and tonight will tell if thats a one-off or a trend. Be physical, skate every shift, and find out. Maybe the Wings only need to be 3/4 speed to beat us, but let's test that theory from the opening bell.
Hope lives here.

Good choice
Hopefully this works. Although I think AC/DC is higher than GNR. And APC should be right up there.
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
Not only Tool, but my favorite and perhaps best Tool song, the title track off Lateralus.
Ah no you’ve gotta go earlier… Aenima territory, my friend. Maybe for Game 4.
Love the Tool, though.

and I’m not a huge fan of Tool by any means.

I’m not sure if SBN blogs allow comments from those who dislike the Tool.

Funny
The two times I’ve driven through Nebraska by myself I decide to use that Wasteland-time to figure out which my favorite Tool album is. I still can’t split Aenima or Lateralus. If driving through Nebraska can’t solve it, nothing can.

I respectfully disagree
This is my favorite track by Tool. I think once you see this song performed live it takes on a whole new perspective.

My personal triangle is Sabbath, Fleetwood Mac (Peter Green era) and Hendrix. There’s just something about the blues that I can’t shake. Oh, and AC/DC is up there, too – right beside Sabbath.
Gonna be cookin’ up some Rock n Roll gumbo before the game. The first side of “Highway to Hell”, second side of “Then Play On”, side two of “Band of Gypsys” and the second side of “Volume 4”.
Kick that door wide open, boys.
I'm going with some David Byrne and Brian Eno to ease the nerves right now.
Later will be Lightning Bolt, then WHO KNOWS?!

God Damn..
The Bolt.. Good choice…
I once saw them play in an alley behind a club in the middle of Baltimore.. by the end of the set they drew about everyone homeless person within a 5 mile radius to the alley..
tons of cops too
Glad to see you around
Middle of the Thor. was worried the posts would be less frequent after last game.
Hope none of that was my doing
Just too much childish bitching back and forth; I'm not really sure who was guilty.
The discussions seem to have degenerated quite a bit this series between the influx of new posters and trolls. It’s not necessarily the number/frequency of comments that’s daunting; it just seems that a lot of people toss their opinions out there, repeating what’s already been said or stating the obvious without responding to others. The conversational aspect of the comments section has dissolved as of late.
That alone has discouraged me from posting, but I’ve also had a busy week of moving, unpacking, job applications, etc. And since I’m back in Arlington Heights, I have people other than my girlfriend with which to watch games — friends and family mainly.
Don’t worry; I’ll be back soon enough to flood this site with my asinine, mislead opinions.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
nice
Lightning Bolt…I saw them at The Wire fest a few years ago which turned out to be one of the most saddening experiences of my indie-rock loving life. Rooms teeming with wannabe hipsters in their 60’s in black leather jackets and Chicagoland suburbanite teens who had no idea who any of the bands on the stages were.

OK.
What’s the trick here? We know that momentary lapses have led to the breakaways that have killed us in the last two games. So you can’t let up. But this may lead to everyone being really tight, which isn’t good either.
The only real solution, I guess, is to focus on the big picture. Don’t get caught, make good passes, control the puck, help your teammates, don’t go for it if it isn’t there, crash the net, harass Osgood, full sixty minutes’ effort — and relax.
Last comment from me for the day. Oh please, [insert deity], just let us win tonight.

Some bands that have not been named
I wont bother to re-list the classic rock people have already named… So three go to bands for me would have to be Modest Mouse, Pink Floyd, and The Who. Especially Love Reign O’er Me, which has to be one of my favorite rock songs ever.
I cranked Led Zep II on the way from work before Game 6 of the Nucks series
and hoped I wouldn’t need it until a deciding game 6 or 7 in this series, but desperate times call for desparate measures.
Two things I would like to see from the boys tonight:
1) Step up/stand up and challenge their attack (non-odd man rushes) at the blue line. I saw A LOT of watching and waiting to see what their attack was going to do, and didn’t react until they were between the circles. Don’t wait for them to setup an open man, get in their face and force them to do something they don’t want to! I understand we need to respect their skill, duh. But, as every coach probably said to us at some point in our lives, with whatever sport we were playing, and we were caught looking and not acting during the play…“Hey! Best seat in the house huh!?”
2) In regards to the Scum’s leg-strength…I know not everyone likes the “dump and chase” (mostly non-educated hockey fans who get pissed any time we dump it) but let’s chip and chase a touch more to put the true test on their supposed tired legs. I’m not saying every time we go down the ice, dump it, but carrying it in hasn’t exactly burned off their faces, and made their defense perform figure skating-type reactions. I know it’s about scoring goals and getting the best chances, and not focusing entirely on wearing them out. But let’s at least make them earn it deep, and not turn it over on a carry-in resulting in another breakaway or odd-man rush.
"What the hell, let's review it." - Dale Tallon
"They are!" - Pat Foley
"What a farce." - Dale Tallon
Can't form a triangle
It’d be more like an octagon or something. And it’d include Tesla, and Rogers & Hammerstein (OK, yes, I have a thing for musicals), AC/DC (I personally want to be “Whole Lotta Rosie”), Aerosmith, Zepplin, Bruce Dickenson, Survivor (everyone just stop laughing RIGHT NOW!), Metallica… and many hair bands. :)
BTW, is anyone meeting up tonight? mjthor, I’m looking at you (and pepe too).
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
Sorry.
Missed the last post because I hadn’t been on the site for a couple days, and this time I’ll have to sit out as well. I’ve got a lot of unpacking to do yet…
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
Scum fan here
great list of bands everyone is mentioning. Suprised I haven’t seen Disturbed brought up yet.
Maybe
You didn’t realize I meant “not to infinity”.
I like them. Think I saw them live opening for Metallica and they were awesome. Or it was some other band like disturbed that gets trashed but really rocked live.
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
saw ’em play a couple of weeks ago, they put on a good show….thought all the other band on the bill were better though, Killswitch Engage, Chimaira and Lacuna Coil all outshone Disturbed…
They provide some interesting covers. Beyond that, if I want to listen to a monkey hack up a furball while singing lyrics inspired by high school girl locker conversation over some of the most rudimentary metal posing, I schedule a trip to the zoo with some crack and a boom box.

Goddammit I want to shave
But not so much that I want the Hawks to lose. Die, scum.
(and everyone knows the best Tool album was the underproduced masterpiece EP, Opiate)
NICKELBACK!
Holy crap I’m just kidding. That’s the music used to clear out a crowd not pump it up.
Good list of bands so far. Heaven & Hell anyone? new cd is pretty good.
I would have to go with
Foo Fighters, Jimi Hendrix, and either Iron Maiden, Pink Floyd/David Gilmour, or Rush (depends on how I feel). Mastadon is rising in the ranks…
"The Hawks need a lube job on their offense right now."-Pat Foley
Going to the game listening to Rush...
“One Little Victory” off of Retrospective #3 or Vapor Trails. " Celebrate the moment, as it turns into one more, another chance at victory, another chance to score…. this song was written for tonight’s game, right?? If you like old schooI Rush then you should just download the song, if you actually like Rush you should have both of the above mentioned c.d.’s. As far as Tool goes I have Aenema and like it. They double-billed on tour with King Crimson, I respect Tool on that alone. The Church is to calm my nerves and back to Mastodon to get ready to lace em up! Mike Portnoy is badass.

what's with all the arena rock?
Rush? Seriously? how many Canadians do we have here…I know they’re not a horrible band, but that dude’s voice is fingernails to the chalkboard unlistenable…and that’s coming from a Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, Shane MacGowan, fan who puts very little emphasis on the quality of one’s voice…same sort of problem I have with Robert Plant though he’s not as nearly as annoying as Geddy.
Who, The Creation, Hendrix, Velvet Underground, The Stooges, Big Star, Saints, The Clash, Pogues, Wire, Buzzcocks, Mission of Burma, Wipers, P.i.L., Comsat Angels, This Heat, Chameleons UK, Jesus & Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine, mid period Replacements, Husker Du, Sonic Youth, Pixies, Pavement, Mark Kozelek …that’s where it’s at kids….

I’m partial to Wave of Mutilation myself, though I also love UMass because they performed that song so many times to Boston area student crowds and the students were so clueless that they didn’t realize they were being ripped in that song.
by Crease Monkey on May 22, 2009 6:47 PM CDT up reply actions
yeah
but you can go back even to the early 90’s including Nirvana who were essentially a Pixies/Wipers/Vaselines cover band no matter how many Cobain disciples tell you otherwise…and that’s coming from a kid who wore out his copy of Nevermind in the 6th grade. Many of today’s bands like the Killers and that schlock are ripping off the late 70’s/early 80’s bands like Gang of Four, Joy Division, P.i.L, etc. Billy Corgan ripped MBV for the Pumpkins’ first two albums and you can go on and on.

What about Nirvana?
Nirvana was one of the most influential bands of all-time and were the biggest reason we finally got rid of the 80’s-type hair bands (unfortuantely some of them are making a comeback). Their music, like it or not, personified a generation. Unfortunatley bands like Sonic Youth, Jesus Lizard, and the Pixies didn’t get enough push for their music was awesome as well. Still love the grunge music!!!
As for Canadian bands still got to love Our Lady Peace and the Naveed album-totally fucking awesome! Not to mention Finger Eleven and I Mother Earth (Dig was Sick)!
I still think...
although Nirvana was indeed influential i don’t think they’re one of the best bands ever. The majority of their songs are too simple and copy cat of themselves musically. But indeed, as you said, they were incredibly influential—probably wouldn’t have a lot of the bands that are here today. Finger Eleven was freaking awesome until their newest song came out, I can’t stand it.
As for influential, here they are, THE BEATLES!
just hard to get pumped up for a game by them haha
by Casey Richey on May 22, 2009 6:54 PM CDT up reply actions
meh
Not sure Nirvana was all that influential. Personally I feel that Pearl Jam was a much better band, and at least for those of us following metal, it was a gateway band for us.
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
Pearl Jam is pretty incredible. Way better than DMB, don’t know how people can compare.
by Casey Richey on May 22, 2009 7:04 PM CDT up reply actions
I don't know..
Helter Skelter works pretty well.
And while Nirvanna was influential and I liked them, what I thought there real effect was to bring rock like the Pixies and Joy Division and their other influences back to light.

Tonight's Game!
The Hawks have to be consistant in all areas in every period in order to achieve success (more goals than the Wings)! The Hawks have shown brilliance all season and tonight has to be one of those nights. Everybody has to be ‘on-board’ in order to win, no spin-o-rama’s, no individual plays, no extra long shifts, etc., etc.. The biggest part may be the special teams tonight for it might be one of those games with both teams vocally unhappy with officiating in the first 2 games, the Hawks have been impressive so far this post-season and might have to be again in tonight’s tilt. Khabby once again has to be huge and Kane has to be noticed on the scoresheet with a hopeful repeat of Game 6 against the Nucks.
LET’S GO HAWKS!!! Chicago let’s absolutely ROCK the anthem tonight!!!
God fuck i love

Yes, We all know
Bettman hates the Wings.
Nevermind that they have the largest following amongst any American franchise. Which means instant ratings for a league that desperately needs ratings. So of course, it behooves the league for them to go as deep as possible in the playoffs.
I’ve never understood why Detroit fans think that the NHL or the refs are out to get them. Take off the Winged Wheeled colored glasses every once in awhile.

2 of those goals Nik had no shot on thanks to the Hawks D’s unwillingness to clear fatass #96 and pissant Cleary.

to pull Nik…if Q was trying to light a fire he should have done it last game where Nik gave up arguably two softer goals.

Ot Havlat pulling
a ….. injured Knick who made a miraculous return in a play off game and whose name I cannot remember?
He was knoncked out for a minute or two
And woozy walking to the bench. I am afraid we may be looking at a concusion. It was a massive hit.
I hope not
but who knows. I couldn’t tell if just the whites of his eyes were showing as he layed on the ice.
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
If it is concusion
then yes I think he would miss the game. It was probably the worst looking hit I have seen all season. He really looked out of it, and if they kept him out, I have to think his head was still foggy.
I'd be surprised
if JHC played in Game 4. He couldn’t sit upright on the bench at first.
Anyone have a guess on if Khabby’s coming back?
People in the thread have been saying he was sick
So if it is just that, he could easily be back on Sunday.
Ask, and ye shall receive.
Good call.

great game and thanks for being cool hosts. Swearing is allowed here which makes my foul-mouthed self feel at ease. I hope Havlet is ok and have yourselves a great weekend. Go Wings!

Excited. I am pantless. I am going to go get drunk.
Lower body injury for Khabi day to day
Havlat looked better after the game …. all from Q press conference
I sure hope he's better
and doesn’t think he’s Henry VIII. Although we won managed to win without him in the latter half, we need him for Sunday. Need Him. Note: capitalization of “Him”.

In re Havlat
The consensus from neutrals that I have seen thus far is that the hit was not as dirty as we thought it was. Forearms to the head are not what they’re cracked up to be, I guess. DEVELOPING

Just saw it now, for the first time (link below) and that was a clean hit.
Even the Chicago radio guys were saying that it was legal during the game.
Shouldn’t even have been called interference, the puck hit Havlat’s skate just before he got laid out
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KJm-qcnnC0
One of those situations where the refs saw a guy knocked out, and penalized the result instead of the play.
Oh well, it didn’t chance the outcome (probably)….
Okay, I'll concede that it wasn't an elbow, but the replays, as far as I'm concerned, aren't conclusive when it comes to Krontard leaving his feet.
And I’m not sure we’re watching the same video, because the puck clearly never hit Havlat’s skate.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
he
left his feet, ESPN had a good view of it…Coach Q said the video showed he left his feet so they’d obviously looked at it. I don’t think he should have been run from the game but otherwise he got what he deserved. Besides, just because a hit like that isn’t “illegal” that doesn’t mean it’s a clean hit. He left his feet and didn’t lead with the shoulder. Hopefully the Hawks are up by 2 or 3 late in the 3rd on Sunday so he can get a taste of his own medicine from Eager, Buf, Ladd, Brouwer, Walker, Seabrook or whomever wants to do the deed.
by Crease Monkey on May 23, 2009 1:24 AM CDT up reply actions
Just watched it 12 times, and I think it hits his skate at the 2:30 mark of the vid linked, just before the hit. Though I concede I could be wrong. The puck is in the vicinity, and Kronwall has to think Havlat’s going to play it.
Put it this way, run my usual test on it, think of it in the reverse….Say, had that been Byfuglien laying out Zetterberg on an identical hit, you’d be screaming about what an awesome hit it was, and swearing that it was legal, and Gary Bettman was fellating the Red Wings when the refs sent Buff to the showers.
I’m thinking the weight of the opinion will come down saying Kronwall didn’t do anything illegal…but since it was your guy that got laid out, I’m not trying to convince you of the fact, just offering an opinion….
some of it
had to do with Kronwall’s rep as a head hunter…and across the league DET has a rep for never hitting anyone except for when a player has their head down or blind siding players. Again just because it’s not an “illegal” hit doesn’t mean it’s clean. It was a forearm and he left his feet to deliver it. There wasn’t any intent to separate Havlat from the puck. Hence he’s going to get his sorry ass put head over heels over the boards Dan Cleary style
by Seabrook or Ladd and then Eager or Walker, or both, are going to pound him after he gets up. Then someone can feel free to smoke one of DET’s skill players to finalize the deal. Eye for an eye and DET still sucks.

It ended up alright, but there were a couple of times
I thought Quenneville should’ve used a timeout to regroup the team, so we wouldn’t have required an OT victory.
First after the Havlat hit and ensuing 5 minute PP. I figured calling a timeout there was necessary to refocus the team away from any payback and purely on making Osgood look the the weak link he is. Instead, the hawks looked a little dazed the first 3 minutes of that power play. What should have been a chance to really put the game away instead served as the beginning of Detroit’s comeback.
Which leads to the next situation, which might have justified failing to call one in the first. After Detroit made it 3-2, it was clear the team was on their heals, skating all over the place, making terrible decisions with the puck in their own end, etc etc. A timeout there seemed crucial to slow it down and reitirate some basic things, such as quit playing like a bunch of retards on ritalin. He didn’t, they tied it up, and I had to drink 5 more beers and 14 more cigarettes to maintain myself as a result.
I’m glad they won, but i’m still a little pissed off about how this game played out.
Got more soul than a sock with a hole.
Best decision ever
picked up a standing room ticket 15 mins before game. Hells yeah. Wish they wouldn’t have let it get so close though. Sunday!!!!
