Not Enough, I Need More: Scum at Hawks Game 4 Preview

If Mirtle asks for Aenima, he gets it. After all, he's the boss around here. So we'll call on one of the greatest Track 1's of all time, Stinkfist.
I'll get this up now because Killion's out of town, at last report McClure was in a strip club, which means everyone should pull bail money together, and I have a busy morning getting ready to peddle my rag before the game.
Make no mistake, this one is just as much must-win as Game 3 was, and to me I think the Hawks can play way better than they did Friday. They looked tentative and shaky for large parts of the game, despite getting a three goal lead. And how'd that work out anyway? Now that they're on the board, I think we'll see a much stronger effort, and with Huet in net, a much more assured defensive performance, probably because they don't trust him as much.
That being said, I think we'll see a far better effort from Scum. Though I'm sure they would have liked to sweep, they knew they only needed one from these two, and from the 3rd period on it looked like they had the attitude of, "If it presents itself, we'll take it, but we've got Sunday too." They won't be as easily locked down this time. However, it could be argued that a lack of legs and gas was the culprit in the last part of the game for them, and the quick, 40 hour turnaround would only exacerbate that if the case. We shall see.
Either way, I'd love to see the Hawks be way more physical than they were, and that's outside of making Kronwall pay (my personal feeling is though he didn't leave his feet, it was a deliberate attempt to injure and forearm the head, and he got what he deserved, and will again on Sunday afternoon). The Hawks didn't finish enough checks, and if the Wings' legs are indeed going, let's speed that up. Also, the Hawks need to cash in on more than one power play. They do that, and come Sunday night, it'll be a new dawn, a new day, and we'll be feeling good.
Did I just quote Tool and Nina Simone in the same entry? Bet your ass I did. I gots layers, bitches!
Have at it.

cant sleep...cant eat...
come to think of it i cant do much of anything except watch highlights of that last game, and watch babcocks, keenan like, postgame bitch fest. I think the hawks winning this one really depends on two things. Staying out of the box, and which Crystal Ball Huet we get. I probably didnt even have to say that, but it feels good just getting it out there. If we get a Huet who lets in as many goals as there are Scum fans collecting unemployment checks then were in for some trouble. Were better then them 5 on 5, and theyre only going to get more tired as the series goes on, so staying out of the box will be key. As much as I would love to see Kronwall pay (or Samuelsson just because hes a piece of shit) the last thing we need is a stupid penalty right off the bat. So lets get pucks deep, get in some good clean hits, and keep getting those goals in front of the net. Who knows if anything I just wrote makes sense, but i’m too nervous right now to care. Lets go Hawks.
Shameless plug

Come watch the game with me as your bartender and cheer on your Hawks!
I love how booze takes over the mind at 330 in the AM on a Sunday morning with nothing but Hawks love and how red wings make me gag.
LET'S GO HAWKS!!!
Your gametime video feed and beer
I already made a Fanpost in case there wasn’t a game thread when I woke up, but lo and behold there is one, so I’ll do it again.
Feeds:
http://www.atdhe.net/6192/watch-detroit-red-wings-vs-chicago-blackhawks
Instead of posting each individual link, just go to this site. It’s 6:50am and there are already 8 feed links posted there.
Beer:
Josephs Brau Dunkelweizen
This is another Trader Joe’s brew — I posted the hefeweizen a few weeks ago, and it’s delicious. Well, this one is good too, and for $6 for a sixer, you can’t really go wrong. Plus I included a really fucking goofy picture with it, so how can you resist? Sunday afternoon games are usually an excuse to take it easy and rehydrate, but fuck that. You don’t have work Monday, and it’s the Western Conference Finals. Drink up, assholes.
Go Hawks!
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
Well, this led to a win Friday, so Ima do my part
and keep it consistent.
I dedicate this to you, Kornwall, may you see stars and spit blood today.

Got more soul than a sock with a hole.
Aenima it is...
I will be rocking this c.d. before gametime at least twice (I still have to get in some early Sunday morning Mastodon. Also I took a beating for listing Rush’s “One Little Victory” before Friday’s game. Yes, I know that they are Canadian arena-rock princesses but that song’s bass and drums rock. The words ring true and it worked on quite a few levels. And is it really right to beat on bands because they play in hockey arena’s? I like the indie rock too (partial to old school Minutemen, Meat Puppets, fIREHOSE, Henry Rollins, Replacements) but I did see Iron Maiden at the Allstate arena and I dare someone to say they don’t rock. DROP THE PUCK!

to be honest...
I highly doubt Kromwall had intent to injure Havlat. I think he just wanted to deliver a hard hit and Havlat happened to have his head down.
However, the shoulder was CLEARLY to the head. Isn’t that a penalty? Or is that what the league is ‘talking about’ eliminating (shots to the head)?

Is this basketball?
I have never heard so much complaining about one hit. Time to suck it up old-time hockey style, enter the number 55 into the memory banks and get him when the opportunity presents itself. Yes it was our best player that got hit, which means that there will be retribution. But I really don’t want to see or hear about how it was a dirty hit. Q called it a dangerous hit. The game of hockey is dangerous altogether. If the Hawks continue to play their game while the Wings are looking over their shoulder this could work to the Hawks advantage.

Let's Go Hawks!
Found out I have to watch with a Wings fan at a party today. :( All this time I thought he was a good guy.
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
Deuces are wild...time for even-ing hockey!
Time to turn a 6-1 home record to 7-1 and bring a Game 5 vs. Calgary effort to the Wings-jump on them early and often! At times the Hawks have proven to be the better team especially when utilizing their speed and tenacity but haven’t done it for a whole 60 minutes in this series yet to date. Today they must! The Wings are bitching about the Kronwall penalty so expect the same type of effort in this Game 4 as they did in Game 4 vs. the Ducks and for this in Huet we trust (Gulp!).
Huet may be called upon to be spectacular and spectacular he must be in order for a Hawks victory, but the one person that can help Huet’s cause is Campbell. Soupie needs to simplfy his game and stop the high-risk-unlikely reward type of plays that usually lead to high-quality chances. For Hawks fans sake Campbell KISS PLEEZ!
Without Havlat it’s finally time for Kaner to give a day like the clincher against the Nucks.
He has risen to the occasion before and can re-write (so to speak) a so far lackluster performance here in the conference finals. PK88 can do it!
The ministers-of-defence (Seabrook and Keith) need to elevate their game if they want to neutralize the Wings top line of Zetterburg-Cleary-Franzen.
Time to even this thing up boys! LET’S GO HAWKS!!!

Christ, if we had done this to Ken Holland...
What can Tallon do? He’s created a team that has come into its own a year or two early by most people’s predictions. Sure, he overpayed for Huet, but
1) Everyone overpays for goalies. It’s amazing that GMs are willing to spend so much money on the most fickle and fleeting position in the game.
2) He’s, at the very least, a good backup. He just came into a game where the Red Wings really turned it on. When they do (and the Hawks aren’t playing that good), there are very, very few goalies who are going to stop them. How much does it help that the rest of the team is playing stupid, chippy hockey.
Stop ripping on Tallon. He’s done quite well for you guys, and he can’t put on the pads. I mean, shit, look at where you might (the series and the game isn’t over yet) exit. And look where you were two years ago. You can’t expect to reach the Cup your first year back into the playoffs.

I'll give you Huet being a bad signing
But the rest came after playing really well. How can he know if a player won’t repeat past performances once they wear the indian? Besides, even if Havlat and Khabs haven’t been great until now, they are great now so it’s worth it.
These calls are weak nonetheless...
Bieksa did the same and worse thoughout the whole series with Vancouver and it was hardly ever called. Phanouf did too.
It is possible
folks to criticize officiating without implying it is the reason why you are losing.
Of course Huet has sucked and Versteeg should have shown better judgement.
But MM is right. Some of those calls were Charmin Soft. And I’m still baffled as to how the Hawks ended up with an extra minor out of that scrum at the end of the first period.

by Crease Monkey on May 24, 2009 3:52 PM CDT up reply actions
Faceoffs
The best faceoff guys in the NHL have always been those who are best at cheating. That’s reality. Another bit of reality is that if the Hawks use their energy for “good”, like trying to score, then they have shown they are a great team. But in this game their putting on a show of “I can hurt you better”. Obviously they were too occupied with the Kronwall hit, no question there. The playoff veteran Wings will teach you that playoffs are about competing to win, not getting revenge. If anything good will come out of their playoff run, that should be what they learn.
the only
thing the WIngs have taught me is that they’re a bunch of pussies and at least half of the Scum fanbase longs for the days of the 1990s glory years.

I think the love fest is primarily because of Cindy Crosby, and I think the NHL encourages, if mandates, it.

McGuire is a disgrace to life
Lets Go Hawks!
McGuire is praising the Wings because THEY SHOWED UP TO PLAY. The Hawks played like crap all game. Of course the refs are going to call a lot of chippy stuff in lopsided game. They have to, otherwise the Hawks would kill every player out there. This happens in EVERY blowout game. The refs let them play in the first period. Once the Wings took over, it was lights out for the Hawks composure. This is where experience comes in.
can I boo now?
They should have been booing ten minutes in. No life, no hits, just scared lifeless hockey. Name one Hawk that looked good the first 20.
Dont boo its not nice. What a joke.
If I'm a player, and my fans boo me
Why would I want to reward their lack of loyalty by playing better?
you play for your teammates
not the fans. Obvious. Unless you believe it when players rock stars etc tell you this is the best city, fans… in the world
Huet back to feel shame
"Oh, that's easy. White Sox. I'm not one of these fair-weather fans. You go to Wrigley Field, you have a beer; beautiful people up there. People aren't watching the game. It's not serious. White Sox, that's baseball. South Side." -O'Bama
somebody
pull the announcer and put in the backup. Please.

As much as players say they can feed off the energy of the fans?
You really want to feed them turds by shitting on them?
exactly
These guys are not my friends or family. They get paid to entertain me. Paid by all of us. Think of them as modern day court jesters. I dont idolize them. They get a treat when they perform, they get cussed and booed when they play like they dont give a shit. I wouldnt boo a well played loss. I will boo when they play the biggest game in 10 years like it’s a november game against florida.
Oh wonderful
Eager has some company
Давай!

So...
Hossa’s hit on Kane= “A good backcheck”
Bolland’s hit= “It’s a crosscheck! It’s a crosscheck!”
Really?
Hossa’s hit on Kane was just getting his stick in to stop the shot. Ever watch Kane backcheck??? If you want to see, then look at the replay of the OT goal by Samuelsson.
you know, if they are going to call every ticky tack little thing
Half me wants to the Hawks to get their money’s worth on these penalties and cross-check kronwall to the head.
White Sox: looks like we rolled snake eyes.
What if they just punch Pierre in the mouth on the way to the bench?

Well just about everything that could go wrong
has gone wrong in this game. Anything left?
White Sox: looks like we rolled snake eyes.
They'll put Havlet back out
and the scoreboard will fall and land on him.

"ELBOW TO THE BACK OF LIENO'S HEAD FROM KEITH"
Worst broadcasted game I have ever heard and this is coming from someone who listens to Len Kasper and Bob Brenly regularly
Lets Go Hawks!
the whole team
is beyond embarrassing now. So weak by Eager too…if you’re gonna get run actually do something to earn it…a late weak body check…wth is that going to do.
Didn't you catch the memo?
The red wings already won the cup, and the 2010 cup too.

co-champs with the Pens

LOL
Versteeg wanted to fight with Kronwall, that makes me a little happier.

This has got to be the worst game of the year, right?
I can’t think of one where the Hawks looked this bad.
White Sox: looks like we rolled snake eyes.
the regular season choice was the meltdown against Vancouver
but given the circumstances this is wayyyyyyyyyyy worse

Versteeg was actually challenging Pierre to fight.
He said any time, any place.

you know, i understand it, but the red wings refusal to fight really grinds my gears
Something unsporting about it.
White Sox: looks like we rolled snake eyes.
That’s because they aren’t stupid. Fighting doesn’t win hockey games. Nor is it smart to fight when you are up 6-1 in the third period, especially with their track record of fights. Detroit wins because they play whistle to whistle. The stuff after the whistle will only get you into trouble. It does not make any sense for the Wings to fight because they don’t have fighters out there. Why waste roster space with a hack fighter when you could have guys who can actually play hockey??? THIS IS WHY THEY WIN!!!
I'd bet this d-bag is

yeah I thought about that earlier
real quiet game coming off of a great one…but it’s hard to do his job in front of the net when you’re on a PK for 3/4 of the game.

5 goals in 2 minutes
YES WE CAN!!!!!

Edzo needs to shut the fuck up
Lets Go Hawks!
I wish
Harry Caray was still alive, he worked for the Hawks, and he jumped Pierre every time they had a mutual broadcast. That would make me happy.

Despite how awful this game was
I really hope this group takes something out of a game like this and learns from it in the future
Lets Go Hawks!
Truth be told
I wonder just how much you CAN learn in a game where you unraveled so much.

Most painful loss in a loooong time.
Gonna take some time, some alcohol, and maybe a little kush to get over this one. If we win the next game, I think we’ll win the series. So let’s just regroup and give em hell next game. I still believe, and all you out there better too.
It will be interesting to see how the Hawks play in the next game
White Sox: looks like we rolled snake eyes.
well that was embarrassing
ouch.
Grow one!
