Evil minds that plot destruction - Blackhawks @ Scum: Game 5 Preview (Scum lead 3-1)

Black-sabbath-101-l_medium

Though War Pigs is one of my favorite songs of all time and the entire album is solid... Paranoid has one of the worst album covers of all time - what the hell is that?

This is it - for the next three games, we get our first literal "must-win" games.  And we have to do it without Khabby and JHC.  If we told you back in September that you'd be depressed when you heard Khabibulin wouldn't be starting Game 5 of the WCF you might have punched us in the face... but here we are.

At least the Scum are without big guns of their own - taking Lidstrom and Datsyuk almost evens the injuries up.

Sam's accused me of drinking the Kool-Aid for saying it's going to be Blackhawks in 7.  I told him it was Hi-C.

The Hawks can pull this off though, don't think I'm saying it just to be a homer.  They've played two games close to their full potential and both went to OT.

In Game One they looked starstruck and confused.  After playing 12 games in a row of tough slow  mean boring hockey they found themselves against a team that had no problem skating with them...

Game Two was closer - A few mistakes, some bad plays and one brutal turnover that lead to an OT winner for the Scum.  This game still could have gone either way..

Game Three - Closest game yet to what we wanted to see.  A bit of a relapse lead the Hawks to tying it but now we see it may have also been an injured Khabby out there trying to stop those pucks.  No one will argue with the result.

Game Four - Still trying to convince myself that never happened.

Get their heads on right - they can win this game.  Steal one on the road, take one back at home and anything can happen in a Game 7.  Crazier things have happened... Jim Belushi keeps getting work, right?

The biggest goals for the Hawks have to be playing physical without losing it.  Their forechecking works against the Scum.  Put pressure on them, disrupt their breakout game but do it without losing your cool and taking a penalty. 

Play perfect or go home.  You'll never go far hoping the Wings take a game easy so the Hawks have to be as close to perfect as possible. 

I don't know about all of you - but I am in no way ready to focus my time on the Cubs and I hear the Sox aren't doing too well either...

Scared...

having Huet in net. I just don’t feel comfortable with that slow-ass frenchman backing our team. Oh well, I hope that he plays up to his contract and makes a believer out of me.

Have you listend to any Hammerfall?

Their album covers are some of the most epic, and I’ve been listening to them alot today, the lyrics from a decent number of their songs fit todays game.

Trailblazers by Hammerfall

It’s been a long way but now we are near
the midst of the fiery rain
We know the Thunder have summoned us all
to the place were innocence got slain

Behold the omens, the rivers run red
The autumn winds carry the dead
The final warning, the very last command
Shattered remains for the damned

We won’t surrender
No never, we will carry on

From the Lake of Fire they have come
Fierce almighty legions, one by one
When the Flames of Glory touch the sky
Trailblazers do or die

We are the mighty, who soar through the air,
creating our own destiny
Warriors once and Warriors to be
Forever our spirits fly free

We rode on lightning we shone like the sun
in a thunderous symphony
We fought them hard we fought them so brave,
sending them back to their grave

The Hammer has fallen
The fire still burns in our hearts

From the Lake of Fire they have come
Fierce almighty legions, one by one
When the Flames of Glory touch the sky
Trailblazers do or die

[Solo: Stefan]

[Lead: both]

The visions we gazed upon,
as the nightmare returned
On the uncaring slopes
the mark of the shadows still burns

[Lead: both]

We're Going to win tonight!

Huet will be incredible tonight you just watch (Gulp!…Fuck I hope) but 1 guarantee will be that Tazer will have a big game no matter what for that is what he does and has done all season.
The Blackhawks will have to play the game of their lives but that isn’t out of the question…they can do it! I believe and always will no matter how dire the situation may seem. With Havlat out it’s finally time for Kaner t break out and maybe a new mouthguard might be the right anedote(O.K. I’m desperate for anything). Kaner needs to be our difference-maker offensively tonight and Campbell just needs to play it KISS.
Versteeg! will get one tonight too with Byfuglien might be another to etch the twine in Game 5.
I’m too nervous to post anything else, but this can’t end …not like this!

by hawks61 on May 27, 2009 6:17 PM CDT up reply actions  

Head-to-head, he would probably beat me, but only because I’ve never even played a single game in which I control all the players. I’ve only played be-a-pro, and when we play multi-player, I usually lock on to center, and let mjthor deal with the rest.

If we both locked on to a position, I guess I would win, but it certainly takes out a lot of the involvement of the players.

My BAP playmaker is an 87, and in the 4th year I think. Helps that I got a contract with the Caps, and pass to Ovechkin all day.

VERSTEEG!

Me too! Although with the lesser NHL2K9

I beat the Scum 5-0 with Huet as well! We could work for ESPN! “Let’s see what the video game tells us about today’s game…”

When the ‘10 hockey series comes out, it’s back to EA Sports without a doubt…no idea why I went away from the series to begin with, as I had ’93, ’95 and ’97 on Super NES. But I digress.

welp, according to Wiki

The album was originally titled War Pigs, but allegedly the record company changed it to Paranoid, fearing backlash from supporters of the ongoing Vietnam War.2 At the time, the band felt that the song was lighter, with the potential to become a single.3 However, the band’s visual interpretation of a “war pig” was still featured on the cover; a distorted, eerie photograph of a man with sword and shield jumping out from behind a tree. This image confused many of the band’s fans, who thought that the image did not resemble the album title to any extent.

The original UK vinyl release was in a gatefold sleeve. The inner of the gatefold had a black and white photo of the band, posed outdoors on a grassy hill, and was their first appearance on album artwork. To spread the original picture over the gatefold, Ozzy Osbourne was separated from the other members of the band and a section of the grass was copied and dropped into the gap. This is only readily apparent if one compares it with the original photograph.

If it were a general argument about experience

then she would have a point. The Hawks playoff experience up until this series was against two physical, slower opponents. This was the first time they played a team as fast (faster) and more aggressive with a backcheck, and they did not respond well.

We can hope that they will take away from this experience and be a better team next year, particularly in the playoffs.

But the argument she made, that an experienced team would all of a sudden stop making the mental errors that had plagued them all series, errors exacerbated by the fact they were playing an excellent team forcing those errors, is fucking stupid.

Yet again

It’s one of many reasons why we lost tonight, asshole. I just didn’t feel like writing up a fucking term paper-length comment pouring over every detail of why we lost to this team.

that's what she said

by Sportsgal on May 27, 2009 10:15 PM CDT up reply actions  

It's not the only reason we lost

but it definitely contributed. How many turnovers does a team have to make before you can say, “Hmmm… maybe if they’ve been in this situation a few times before, they wouldn’t play this way?”

Every single person on the team has been playing hockey for his entire fucking life.

I’m pretty sure they’ve been in the situation where there are 5 men on the ice and a little rubber disc and sticks and things. It’s no different.

oh, so now everyone has been in the stanley cup playoffs for his entire life?

Good to know. I didn’t realize that high school, college, minor league and any other league out there plays the EXACT same form of hockey as what takes place in the playoffs. Thank you for correcting me.

Considering how many players the Hawks

rely on who are still in their second and third year of NHL play, they have a ways to go until they reach their prime.

Detroit would not have played nearly the disciplined game they did if half their team was under 25. It takes a while to really perfect an NHL system, and the Hawks have enough core guys learning it together, that eventually they will.

I was willing to disregard the experience factor when they managed to beat Vancouver. But I still felt it was possible to beat Detroit. After tonight’s lost, I realized our lack of experience was one of many reasons why we didn’t win.

What a terrible argument

I spend more money and time on the Blackhawks so my opinion means more than yours..

Be unhappy SportsGal

but saying that you are a better fan because you spent more money is just not right.

The difference is that I am proud of the team making it this far, not pissed off at the world that they didn’t go farther.

And where exactly in my comment did i say anything about being a better fan?

All I was trying to point out is I’m not ready to blow flowers up the team’s ass right now because I feel like I’ve been let down. Maybe if I hadn’t been laid off and unable to find a job for 4 months I would be patting everyone on the back.

Good one, stupid.

But in my first comment, I talked about being pissed about the game because I spent a shit load of money on the team. Ugh. I don’t even know why I’m bother to explain it to you. You’re so dumb, I doubt you can even comprehend your own sentences.

that's what she said

I apologize ma'am,

your comment that due to the amount of money you had spent gave you the right to complain gave me that impression. Again, my sincerest apologies.
Of course, I don’t believe that I am extending flowers out of any orifice, but I could be wrong.

Experience

Are you telling me that you won’t be a better teacher in five years due to more experience?

Are you telling me the hawks won’t learn from this playoff experience, and be better for it?

Saying they lost the series because of inexperience is not entirely accurate, but to say that say that inexperience didn’t hurt them can’t be correct, or else what do we hope for with this team in the future?

Hey now

But still, if experience and talent alone is the recipe for winning in the playoffs, wouldn’t we have seen San Jose in the WCF?

experience coupled with talent.....

doesn’t gaurantee you the cup.

But if you have 2 identical teams, one has been there before, the other hasn’t, I know where my money is going.

by hackerar on May 27, 2009 10:46 PM CDT up reply actions  

Yeah, experience mattered in this series,

but not because they let their goalie down in OT.

The Wings made better decisions with the puck in their own zone all series, and pressured the Hawks into poor, rushed decisions all series. Overtime was simply a microcosm of that.

The Blackhawks team that played tonight

has nothing to be ashamed of. In 3 of 5 games this team went toe to toe with the best hockey team of this generation. They can hold their heads high and go for it again next year. Losers always whine about their best…

by Lost In NC on May 27, 2009 9:53 PM CDT up reply actions  

3 OT

games out of 5…we hung pretty close despite getting essentially no breaks, 3 really bad breaks albeit 1 that was on a horrible backhanded pass attempt, and the Hawks shutdown 3 of their top scorers save for Hossa in one game. I don’t even want to get into a discussion on the officiating but we definitely received no breaks there either. Had the Hawks stayed out of the box like they did tonight (for the most part) this series would be much different.

by Crease Monkey on May 27, 2009 10:04 PM CDT up reply actions  

+1

Sure I was disappointed, yet they showed tonight how tough they can play. Huet hopefully shut everyone up about trading him. I’m glad we got this far, and glad we didn’t leave in shame.

Experience matters to a degree

Anyone who says the experience argument is bullshit didn’t watch Game 4. Experience mattered as the young hawks lost their cool and allowed detroit to get a stranglehold on the series. In 3 years if I see these same hawks play another game like sunday’s, THEN you can tell me experience doesn’t matter.

Experience is beneficial to anyone in any profession and professional sports is no exception.

BUT, no matter how much experience Matt Walker gets, I don’t think I’ll like him any better.

Before you shave...

Got a playoff beard? Thinking about shaving it because the Hawks are out of the playoffs? Before you do, make sure you save the good part.

I’m writing to you, Chicago, because from following your blog this series I discovered that you guys, more than almost any other group of fans, really understands the connection between facial hair and championships.

It would be a shame to lose so many cookie dusters to the end of a playoff run. Lose the beard, fellas. But keep the mustaches as a badge of this playoff run. Naked lips don’t win championships.
