Sam summed it up pretty nicely the other day - We can look at things the last game as either the Hawks taking the best Nucks best trap and beating it or the Hawks just catching a good break (about damn time too).
Whatever it was, the series is tied now and that's all that matters.
On the Canucks side of things - Salo may be back from his infection and is a game-time decision. He had a full skate this morning so it's a big question if he'll be back. His return could mean the Nucks break out of their trap a bit more as Salo provides a good offensive weapon off the blue line. If Salo is back, does that mean the Nucks will open things up? Lets hope so because the Nucks have been as boring as A Prairie Home Companion (Odd reference I know, but I caught a bit of that show this morning and it really bores the piss out of me).
In that same article it's mentioned that the Nucks want to focus more on offense - only getting 15 shots all game will do that to a team. They certainly have the weapons to play an offense-focused game but that plays right into the Hawks strengths too. The Nucks are likely going to try to find a balance between the stab-yourself-in-the-face-just-to-feel-again trap style and the far more pleasant games we saw more of in the first two of this series.
Oh, and Bieksa's back.. joy.
What do the Hawks desperately need? The first goal. No surprise really there. Everyone knows it and has been calling for it with every breath. For the series, the Hawks have had the lead in a game for all of about 15 minutes while the Nucks have lead for 359 minutes (That's a fact too, I dare you to look it up).
We all know having the lead guarantees the Nucks can't play the trap. I really thought the Hawks were going to have it in the first period of the last game but it never materialized. Getting that first goal in Vancouver is going to be much harder but no part of winning this game is going to be easy.
So no one knows what will happen for this game. If the Canucks play the trap the Hawks need to do the same thing as Game 4. At that point it'll go back to a team capitalizing on the other's mistake. If the Nucks open up some - the Hawks need to take that small glimpse of daylight and run with it.
Hope to see you all at The Whirlaway.
Oh and by the way - the new Star Trek movie is solid.
Lets Go Hawks

That first goal...
…would be monumental in not only a victory but for actually exciting game nonetheless! Although in the regular season the first goal of the game had been advantageous, but in the playoffs this season it has been the complete opposite. In the first round the team that scored first in the Hawks-Flames series lost the first 4 games, the same as the second round match-up between the Caps and Pens not to mention this series with the Canucks. Love to see the Hawks score first and add to it just to see how the Canucks would respond when trailing. Can they come back like the Hawks? That’s anybody’s guess but I’d love to see them try for once that is for sure.
Failrly optimistic that the Hawks will come away with a victory tonight just because I feel the pendulum will shift tonight and the Hawks will play with a 2-3 goal lead and bring it home to a raucious crowd at the UC for the clincher Monday Night.
LET’S GO HAWKS!!!
OK. Time to go to the Whirlaway.
And here’s a video of the Fratellis at Glastonbury, just to keep you occupied. (I would embed the sucker, but I’m scared of crashing the thread — and I do not want to do that.)

I’m extremely sick and even lazier today, so you won’t get a good write-up on this one. (I’m only posting a beer for superstitious/tradition reasons, so you’re lucky you’re even getting one!) This is a beer I haven’t had yet — another one of the beers that my brother got in a recent trade. It’s supposed to be pretty damn good. You might have a tough time finding it, though. It’s also from Canada — and yes, posting a Canadian beer on a night like tonight was against my better judgment, but I’m not sure the hockey or beer gods care where the beer comes from, as long as it’s consumed and enjoyed. So enjoy whatever you’re drinking tonight, ‘cause I’ll be drinking water, tea and Nyquil.
Go Hawks!

Those french brews can be quite good
I’ve never tried that kind before. The free translation tell me the title means “Brewery God Of The Mortal Sinned Sky”. It must be a winner with a name like that.

For anyone watching the Caps-Penguins on VS
Did you just hear Emerick laugh his way through a promo for Professional Bull Riding? Even the commentators know how ridiculous this bullshit network is.
For the series, the Hawks have had the lead in a game for all of about 15 minutes while the Nucks have lead for 359 minutes
I knew it had to be something like that, but actually seeing it in print really is stunning. This series could very well be over, and the Canucks could be waiting another week too see who their next opponent is. Instead, it’s a best of three that probably won’t be over in two!
God help the Canucks if they do not score the first goal. God help the Hawks if they surrender the first one again.
Let’s get it on!
I’d have to agree with you, Jin…but the Canucks have blown too many leads in this series. If they ever stopped that trend I’d feel a lot more confident right now.
BTW, that Mastodon cover is cool.
Good luck, Hawks fans. May the best team win.
by Sean Zandberg on May 9, 2009 8:46 PM CDT up reply actions
Hard to decipher that stat
Does it mean the Hawks are good at coming back while the Canucks can’t hold a lead?
Or
Doe sit mean the Canucks start quick and the Hawks need time?
Whatever it means the series is tied at 2 a piece. I think things change bit this game, I’ll go on a limbs and say the Hawks net the first goal and go on to win 4-2 with an open netter

I think it is tt the Canuks cannot hold a lead
Don’t get me wrong, they are obviously a great defensive team, but thy seem to turtle up completely in this series when they had a lead. They give up the initiative almost completely trying not to open themselves up to a counter punch. It may work, but it seems a rsky way to go about things.

We do all realize
that that isn’t a real statistic, right? Four games means that there’s only been 241 minutes of hockey played.
It’s like a joke. You know, to make you laugh. Or in this case, cry.
It was indeed a joke.. however I did see before the Game last night that the Hawks had only led for 23 minutes before last night’s game.. so I wasn’t that far off

are any of the feeds
of CSN? i can’t stand VS/canucks announcers
IT'S TIME!!!!!!
FREE WILLY!!!! GO HAWKS!!!! I’m hopin’ for that initial goal too – I couldn’t stomach another 60 minutes of the clam trap. Really enjoyed the CBC pre-game story on the 4 Vancouver Hawks and their peewee team they all played together on – the Pacific Vipers. Just awesome. They all agreed of the 4 (Ladd, Fraser, Brouwer, & Seabrook) that Seabrook was always the standout, although Seabrook himself siad he always thought Fraser had the best goal celebration moves.

What's going on?

What the fuck is this shit? They did the pre-game talk with Foley and Edzo then switched over to the fucking Cubs game.

Cubs had blackout at Miller Park
So CSN switched back to the game when it started up, poor decision

He goes and gives up the puck.

RCN
Does anyone else with RCN have a bodybuilding infomercial on CSN+ (channel 371)? Let me know if you if it is on another channel. I cannot seem to find it.
Pretty big contrast between this game and games 3 &4
Canucks seem to be moving away from the trap for the most part and there are more scoring chances for both teams

Finally!
A lead! I had forgotten what one looked like.
Ladd has to be snarter than that
That second cross check was just asking for a penalty.
WTF the is penalty there
and why isn’t one called on HANK for going in to Bulin and jabbing him again and again and again?
Once again...
…to win in Canada you have to beat the referee’s!!! It’s a fucking joke its always has been and it always will be!!!
Can Versteeg not count?
Doesn’t he notice that there are three or four canuks on the line?

Yep
This has been a pretty good outing by the Hawks. Aside from the pp, I think we have had the advantage most of the game.
We've had most of the dumpins and been on there side
Derrick Rose will lead us back to the promise land.
In Vinny We Trust!
Coud really use this PP goal here
The PP has been awful this series.
Irregardless of what happens now...
…Troy Brouwer has to be a healthy scratch come Game 6! I mean can’t make a simple pass!!!
yeah
becuase colin fraser is clearly the better player.
Irregardless?
Double negative, therefore he must play?

And another penalty on Ladd
How did they not at least call the retaliation?
I was about to make the same post.
Ladd deserved that penalty, but they almost broke his damn back on the goal
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
agreed.
call Ladd, but call the retaliation on either the back breaker attempt on the crossbar or the helmet/hair pulling after that.

Seems to be intensely aware of everything that’s going on.

What ladd just did on the last shift
is what rypien just did to kane it was incidental contact ladd just forced it and rypien just did that to kane…so wheres the call…….
First good thing he's done all night
But five bucks says we end up sort handed on this.
This game is starting to remind of the last regular seaosn game in Chicago. Too much of the refs letting the cheap stuff go, too much letting the Canuks get under our skin, too little focus on the offensive end.
Finally doing the only thing I like watching him do.
Punch people in the head.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
I'm lost however
on what deseves penalties now…
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
Wow Bieksa gets the extra pen
Derrick Rose will lead us back to the promise land.
In Vinny We Trust!
Bieksa kept jabbing VERSTEEG
in the face while the lineman was hold Versteeg, I’m guessin that’s where it comes from
Refs
have no one else but themselves to blame for that mess…make some calls and players will stop that garbage.
Holy shit!
PP and Buff scored?!!!
Go Mullet!
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
YES!!!
The Mullet does it again.
Buff is having a monster game!
Brouwer should be a scratch HUH
I mean he only eliminated a player and the screened Luongo on the shot

Dustin Byfuglien...
…is playing fucking awesome tonight! 2 goals excellent!
O.K., O.K., I will admit that was little fairweather fan-ish of me to post that of Brouwer, he definitely made a great play on Buff’s goal not to mention several very good plays since the error on Sundin’s goal!
But
I’m still disturbed by the VS comment that his mother had to drive 12 hrs from MN to see him play. He couldn’t pop for airfare?
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
is anyone else watching the canadian feed?
these announcer clowns comment every 3 minutes that this game was much more fast-faced than the “defensive struggles” of games 3 and 4. hmmmmm it’s not like, you know, your team sucked the life out of those games or anything
I'm in Detroit
We get the CBC feed and Versus. While NBC and Versus are not great, they try to be impartial. CBC makes no bones about it. They are all for the Canadian teams.

CBC has and always will totally suck...
…without Don Cherry (love him or hate him) nobody in their right frame of mind when given the choice would ever watch HNIC, the announcing is completely terrible and totally a homer crew! In fact HNIC should change it’s name to HNIT cause they only show Toronto Make Me Laughs games during the regular season no matter how good the Senators were or the Habs last season!!!
Jim Hughson
I’m sorry but he is my favorite announcer ever. Him Foley and Gary Thorne i love.
HNIC
I like grapes, he’s colorful and likes old time hockey. You’re right, way too much maple loaf hockey. They do show regional games however. We get stuck with Toronto because we’re getting the feed from southern Ontario. Northern Ontario get the Sens and Quebec gets the Habs.
As long as you don’t have a rooting interest in the game, they’re not too bad. But if it’s a Hawks game, might as well mute it.
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. -- George Santayana (1863-1952)
missed it but
did kane get a huge hit earlier??
He received a hit earlier.
Nowhere near the puck and right in front of a linesman
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
No he took a hit
clear interfernece call and blood drawn as te linesman looked right at it and swallowed his whistle
Does anyone else's cat like watching hockey?
One of ours seems to be a big Hawks fan.
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning

One of ours tends to come sit on the couch with my wife and I when the games start. My wife thinks he is a good luck charm. He was on the couch for both the Hawks goals and off for both the Canuks. :)

Man, what does Kane have to do to get a call
Tht was a clear high stick.
Funny thing is it seems like
Every time Kane clips some one the ref/linesman is right on tip of it during this year.
Maybe that’s just me though
No,
Kane has had a ton of high sticks called on him, which is fine. You have to control your stick. Those things are dangerous. But that applies even to American born finesse players getting sticks n the fce. The refs should remind themselves of that.
Kaner must have done something to piss off these refs

I think Kane may have a reputation
for being easy to knock down and whine about a penalty, so refs are less likely to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Man
I was in the car for the whole game on the way back from visiting friends at Western IL University. Missed the whole first period because the Cubs game decided to take 4 hours tonight. At least I got to listen to the last 2 periods. Going back to watch the whole game now. At least I can look forward to a positive finish.
You and I are gonna live forever
Couldnt be happier with this team right now
Great game all around tonight from a road perspective, as much as campbell gets ripped on on this site, by me included, he played a hell of a game tonight, oustanding, nucks have to be demoralized, 3 minutes from a 3-1 lead now back in chicago fighting for their season. Picked up SRO tickets for Monday’s game and couldnt be happier. LETS GO HAWKS!
Lets Go Hawks!
Campbell was phenomenal tonight.
In fact, he’s been good most of the playoffs. I think most of us, myself included, are having a hard time letting go of his terrible play in Feb and March, hopefully tonight will be enough to get him out of everyone’s doghouse for good.
Back before the playoffs started there was a discussion about who would be the unsung hero who would really step up his play. I think a lot of us picked Buff based on his play at the end of the season, and thank god, he has not disappointed. He’s a different player right now.
What a game.
Got more soul than a sock with a hole.
good post
Chrome….Ill buy you a beer if your in the CHI area….Campbell showed me tonight he cares and all of his shit was ALMOST erased tonight….he showed heart and it proved to me that he really is an a good forward trying to play D….I was really happy with that stop… Also good for Buff for earning his check……Getting excited!

Hell YA!!!!!
Campbell was something else tonight – Kane too as I previously mentioned. Getting excited? I’m feeling some serious magic here. Let’s not overlooked Habby’s absolutely stellar performance as well. Somethin’s a-brewin’… and me likey.

Agreed
Strong playoff play will erase a lot of regular season memories. Campbell has been taking hits, giving some, making some decent defensive plays, and causing havoc in the offensive end with good shots and passes.
My goal? World domination.

heart still racing...
what an unbelievable game all around. solid play from the defense, and kane really stepped it up in my mind, not only on that powerplay but i thought throughout the game. the little bastard sure does get knocked around quite a bit…good for him to stay in there and stick it those pesky ’nucks with a great hold-in and an even better pass. would have loved to see buff finish it off with the empty netter for the hat trick but a win is a win. cant wait for mondays game at the UC, hope many of you will be going. looks like we got a good thing goin here, eh?
Happy Birthday To Me
Amazing game. I got to see the whole spectacle at a local bar with a fellow Hawk fan. I’m totally drunk right now and feelin’ great. Buff is finally putting them in the net, and the Bulen Wall is shutting them down. God, I wish I could be at the UC Monday night.
