OPPOSTION BLOG: Nucks Misconduct
Yeah, I used a Liz Phair quote for the title. It's from when she was still cool, and not a total cougar-sellout, so shut it. Anyway...
You know it's a series when the yapping really gets going, and boy has it. Adam Burish is sounding the clarion call to run the other Canucks d-men now that Salo's out, and Kevin Bieksa claims not to have noticed Dustin Byfuglien all series. Maybe that's why he's caused such havoc then, doofus. Speaking of Sami Salo, when did this guy become Paul Coffey? A good offensive blueliner? Sure. But a total difference maker? C'mon... Maybe just a ploy to get the Hawks to let up, I don't know.
You can expect some changes from the Canucks tonight. It's looking for all the world that Demitra won't play, under the guise of injury but mostly due to him not doing much at even-strength. This would open up a spot for Taylor Pyatt, which would be a huge emotional lift for the Canucks, as he returns from the horrific death of his fiance. It would also reunite a third line of Wellwood, Bernier, and Pyatt that was playing some pretty solid hockey before disaster struck.
There will be tactical changes as well. The Canucks will be dumping everything in, unless their name is Sedin, and trying to put our blue line corps out into the concession stand. Or, you might look for a total trap in the neutral zone, so the Hawks can't build any speed through the middle, which has given the 'Nucks fits. But this is what playoff hockey is all about, I'll make my move, you make yours, and then I'll make another one.
One thing to watch is if Q does the juggle-palooza with his line to get a banger on the ice at all times, or with the last change if he can just get the matchups he wants. For me, I'd love to see Pahlsson staring at the Sedins all night. I know Sammy hasn't had the best series, but this is what he was brought here for, and if you keep the Swedish Molina brothers in check, you go a long way towards victory.
With all the talk of Luongo, it would be pretty sweet if Khabby stepped up and stole one tonight. Khabby has been much better at home in these playoffs, with a GAA of 1.66 and a SV % of .936. He made some huge saves in Games 1 and 2 against the Stampeders, and we could use those again tonight.
Most of all, we need 60 minutes. The Hawks can't keep going to that well marked, "We'll get going when we feel like it." No more stupid penalties, skate from the outset, and with a frothing UC it's hard to imagine how they couldn't.
I'll be at my normal post outside Gate 3 selling the Indian if you want to say hello, at least until I'm arrested.
Let's Go Hawks.

Why couldn’t you find a way to work a “Flower” quote in?
I know it’s a GAP commercial, but I have such an unhealthy infatuation with Liz Phair that this clip gives me that good old fashioned feeling – the kind where I’d do anything to bone her.
I don't get...
… the infatuation with Liz Phair. Isn’t PJ Harvey more appealing since 1. she’s a better singer and 2. she’s way more damaged?
that's what she said
Are we talking 1991 or 2009?
There’s a big difference. Liz isn’t nearly as hot as she was 15 years ago.
that's what she said
I thought about this the other day...
after seeing a profile pic in an interview of hers I was reading. She looks like the dude who played Pickford in Dazed and Confused. Seriously she does.

Just so you know
I’m a far bigger PJ Harvey fan than Liz Phair, at least in the music department. As for pure eye-candy, still have to go with the local girl.
www.secondcityhockey.com
yeah not even close between Pj Harvey and Phair in the musical talent dept. Pj in a landslide even though she basically just conspired to be the female Nick Cave so she’s not terribly groundbreaking. Besides, I head to Lisa Germano for my musical female angst.

Voted for Hawks by 2 or more. Made my voice heard. I’m embarrassed to say it, but little things like this help me through the day.
All I do is read sports and political news all day
My last day of student teaching is Friday, so I’m not doing a damn thing right now.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
Lets Go Hawks, puck drop is way too far off
Lets Go Hawks!
I'm thinking the UC
And it will be fantastic. I am counting down the minutes until Testify and the Anthem hit the speakers. No more spotting the Nucks a lead. You gonna make it to a game mj?

If we're still in the playoffs in two weeks, then I will try to get tickets.
I graduate May 16th and will be back in the ’burbs shortly thereafter.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
I'd be shocked if we don't see Van morph into
MN tonight. Especially the first. Slow the game down, lull the crowd to sleep.
Got more soul than a sock with a hole.
Good call
I think that is a very likely possibility. For the nucks to have a chance they have to preserve their energy to have enough left in the tank for the third period. But I would not rule out a flurry of offensive push in the first five minutes to try and get an early lead. I think and early lead would be much more of a crowd killer than trap hockey.
See you all from Section 328 tonight!

I live in Alabama
I last lived in Chicagoland in 1996. I haven’t followed the Hawks actively since Eddie the Eagle, JR, and Chelios lost to the Wings in the playoffs.
And yet…I have found myself sucked into these playoffs. It’s not just that they’re winning, but they’re a fun team to watch. Minimal dump and chase, guys who can skate and handle the puck — this is good stuff.
Thanks to you guys for catching me up to speed.
hmmm ... PJ or Liz or Liz
I love that I’m a member of a hockey forum whose members debate the do-ability of the Liz Phair in a Gap commercial vs the Liz Phair in the pics of Exile in Guyville … vs “anorexic meth-head” PJ Harvey … with no one clearly coming out on top (no pun intended). Makes me feel warm toward humanity.
Let’s beat shit outta Couver tonight, gents … let’s have the Hawks play the game they know how, and let the Canucks worry about whatever the hell it is they want to.
(Now, if I was backstage with Liz … while at a PJ Harvey concert—ya, there’s some serious fantasy material, I’m gonna bank that image.)
I would take either one (but you wouldn't want your friends to see you with PJ)
This site just keeps getting better all the time! PJ Harvey vs. Liz Phair and Alan Moore’s playoff beard all in the same week. Sold my tix for tonight’s, but I will be there for Thursday’s game. I guess it’s Johnny B’s in Brookfield where they actually turn the sound up on the game. I’m feeling like i’m dressing for tonight’s game i’m so freakin excited…butterflies in my stomach and the whole deal… maybe that’s just the PJ-Liz fantasy talking. WARPAINT!!!

Kevin Bieksa claims not to have noticed Dustin Byfuglien all series.

Once again...
Not foucsing on work, too focused on tonight’s game.
I’m headed to a bar here in Madison with a couple Hawk fans, and a couple quasi-Hawk-mainly-supporting-Badger-Adam-Burish fans tonight and we’ll make them put one of the TVs on Versus, as I’ll probably have to compete with the Brewers game (@ 7p) being on most of the TVs obviously. My bar-watching playoff record is 2-0…the last one was the 5-1 blowout of the Flames…here’s to making it 3-0! Cheers!
Have fun on here tonight gentlemen. LET’S. GO. HAWKS!!!

"What a farce." - Dale Tallon
As of right now
we’ll be at the Buffalo Wild Wings at East Towne (on east side of town, obviously) We figure they have a ton of TVs, and likelihood of one being on the Hawks game is very likely. They’re also pretty good about switching to a game of your choice by your table too.
If you can/want to make it to the other side of town, come on out!

Long time coming....
It is about time to see the fire from the Hawks. Been so long I could not even remember the last time I watched Chicago make it deep into the post season. I am loving this group of kids though. I think it may be a possibility this team could make a run.
I'm surrounded!
by silly Canucklehead fans. Can’t tell everyone how much fun it is to be living between Calgary and Vancouver with an appropriate representation from each fan base in the pubs at night. Plenty of Flamers have jumped the Hawk wagon but naturally they stick out like a pack o’ wet matches. It’s damn near time to begin the pre-game rituals… shit I’m a bundle of nerves.
"Call Detroit, tell dem... BULLSHIT!"
Anybody else really jacked up?
Three hours till game time. I think the boys will jump out to an early lead like Game 5 against Calgary.
If I was going I would be.
I’m managing to keep pretty calm for now. Doesn’t help that I’ll be in the office until 6:30 or 7 tonight.

Millstream Iowa Pale Ale
Well, this isn’t the greatest pale ale — it’s not bad, but it’s not incredible — but I need to represent the state of Iowa while I’m still here. This is brewed just a little bit outside Iowa City, in the historic Amana Colonies. I’ve always had the intention to make a trip out there in my five years in this state, but sadly I don’t think I ever will, seeing as I’m leaving in less than two weeks. And just look at that label. It looks like a Grant Wood painting, which is awesome. (In fact, that was probably the intention seeing as Grant Wood was from the area and painted pictures of Iowa(ns).)
Anyway, drink beer and watch hockey. I’m hesitantly confident heading into this game. Let’s make like Mike Wallace and do this 60 minutes shit.
Go Hawks!

Hello all,
hope everyone had a good day, just took a final exam so the hawks game and a couple of beers is well needed.

-Super Nintendo Jalmers is slamming door after door in Skinner’s face with 3 blocked shots.
-Seabrook and Keith lead the Hawks with 7:43 and 7:19 TOI, respectively.
-In Brouwer’s 3:59, he’s already racked up 3 hits.
-Sundin and Sedin sister #2 (Henrik) are cock-slapping us from the faceoff circle at 4-0 and 4-2, respectively.
-Mitchell, Bieksa and Edler all have been on the ice for more than 8 minutes, so look for them to start getting tired. Plus 2 out of the 3 have proven themselves to be complete and total classless asshats.

Keith has done a pretty good job helping to shutdown the Sedins as they haven’t done jack while not on the PP this series but he’s been awful on the peripheral skills…passing and clearing.

Defensively we are getting out-worked
Their last 2 goals came with guys out front with not enough pressure on them.
We are having a hard time getting to the middle of the ice in the offensive zone unless we are skating the puck in from the neutral zone.
I think we are getting out-played defensively so far. You can’t completely blame Khabby.
LET'S GO HAWKS!
Khabby
was arguably the only reason it was only 1-0 after the 1st

D has sucked, I haven’t heard much from Eager’s line. Granted he may be making a point, but Kane on the 4th line is beyond stupid
This is the playoffs
Not the 43rd game of the regular season. You don’t turn Randy Moss into the third option because he got caught holding a DB, and you don’t demote one of your top 3 forwards to play w/ the meathead line (i use that as a term of endearment)
Kane is being punished for that penalty
no shifts prior to minute 7 of the second. second shift was 6 minutes later. Q is disciplining him. Hopefully to piss him off and unleash him in the 3rd. we shall see if it works

Horrible start was the key to this game
Lets Go Hawks!
The thing I hate so much..
Is when the Hawks have an open lane to shoot and they think they are on some Mix tape and try to do pretty shit that never works.. I wanna break something !!

It's fucking ridiculous.
There’s a whole minute left and we’re only down two goals. We need the fans to be screaming their fucking heads off, not heading to the parking lot.
Regular season game I’d understand, but that’s bullshit in the second round of the playoffs.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
What a bunch of Ds
Dammit Thor, I wouldnt have notice it, but all those 100 level seats are empty….SHITTT!

Nothing else matters!

Havlat and Dunc have been invisble.
This is the weakest game I have see Dunc play all year, hands down.
Lets go Hawks! Detroit Sucks!
Dunc was awful
Only times I heard his name was when he was turning it over

Bleh.
I guess teams have clunkers, even in the playoffs, but UGH, this game stunk.

ain't that the truth
Kane was so messed up! I preferred it when Q sat him. Turnovers, etc. and I’m pretty sure he was responsible for one of those Vangoals. Regroup gents. Glad that fuckin’ train wreck is outta the way.
"Call Detroit, tell dem... BULLSHIT!"
Bummer
Seemed like if offense was “on” D was ’off" or vice versa.
Yeah, can’t believe the empty seats. That sucks.
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
Head-hunting
Perhaps they focused too much on hits and not enough on playing.

I'm really disappointed
the mullet proved to be insignificant tonight.
It’s like we were trying to start the engine, and it never turned over. Just a brutal game. Game four is really gonna be huge.
Gotta shake this off fellas.

well that game sucked.
what a piss-poor effort that was.
Feel free to email me at any time. =] Just let me know you're from SecondCityHockey!
I was kind of worried that would happen.
It’s not the end of the world, but it’s safe to say the next game is a must win.
Got more soul than a sock with a hole.
There's not much I want to say about the game right now
but there is something that pissed me off even moreso than the outcome tonight. And that was the amount of fucking assholes in the 100 level that got up to leave at the whistle with about a minute left to play in the third.
It’s the damn playoffs, and this team has shown it can score quickly. I doubt any of those people read this site, but if you are one of them, kill yourself. But before you take that crucial but necessary step, make sure you leave the tickets to someone who has a little respect for the team. That was pathetic.
Got more soul than a sock with a hole.
The call for suicide is a bit much
But — yeah, that was troubling.

If they had left when the faceoff was in the Hawks zone
I would not call for such drastic measures. Maybe something less final, such as the loss of a finger or first child. But when you’re leaving the stadium before they even drop the puck on an offensive zone faceoff, you’re a prick. Don’t go to the games.
Got more soul than a sock with a hole.
But -- to be honest --
the people leaving with a minute left knew what anybody in the building deduced from the prior 59 minutes. They just had a clunker of a game. No call to leave early, in any game.
WAIT FOR THE WHISTLE!

We need a laugh
Enter Al Strachan on the Satellite Hotstove on Saturday, suggesting that John McDonough wants to muscle Dale Tallon out of the GM spot and bring in his own guy.
No? Not funny?
Frankly, I didn’t think so either. Therefore, I quit.
Everybody in the Smokers Lounge was just in a daze between both periods. Demanding traffic in net, better passing, etc. It never came. Disappointing. And now we are forced to win one back in Vancouver in order to advance. Poor poor poor from our boys tonight.
And also: you could hear a pin drop tonight. Disappointed is a word you could use.
Better effort required on Thursday. If only to save face, really.

Sorry hawks fans
all hope faded for you when you lost game 1
its all over but the crying…..nucks win game 4 by a score of 5-2
and then move on to the west final with a 2-0 win
but feel free to jump on our bandwagon,the more the merrier
Big talk
For someone who just joined both blogs, where were you at the beginning of all of this series, let alone the postseason? Methinks I smell a troll about….
wait what?
Not big talk
its a fact….hawks must now beat luongo and team 3 times,and only 4 attemps left
its over.
I don't know, the only fact I see is that the series is at 2-1
Which is far from fucking over. Maybe it’s different in Canada — I don’t know. I’ll claim cultural ignorance on that one.
Why do we get all the really fucking stupid Nucks fans over here?
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
Why am i stupid?
when i state a fact?
its clear,you guys made a HUGE comeback in game 1…..then you fell apart
that was your downfall,cmon deep in your heart you know hawks WONT beat luongo and company 3 times in next 4 possible trys
ITS OVER.
but as a nuck fan for YEARS……..its cool to know this MIGHT finally be the YEAR!
GO NUCKS!!!!!!
Well, you're a fucking moron for a couple reasons.
One; you can’t even form a coherent sentence.
And two; “ITS OVER” is not a fact. The series is 2-1, and last time I checked, that’s not over, no matter how many ridiculous, unfounded predictions you can make.
So please, dave, crawl back into the hole from which you came.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
Dave is my brother
and i have learned at the newer thread he was banned…….i will fight on if your people let me
EITHER way……its OVER
Yes, it is.
Over for the Nucks, and hopefully you too.
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
Was away
making a couple egg sandwiches
DAMN…..dave must have been brutal!
i will try to be better ok?
