Hawks vs. Davos Thread

PrintI'll be blogging live, and whoever's not doing their job is free to join in.
1:12. Just in time for the anthems.
1:14: Swiss arena pumpin' out some metal!
1:15 Game starts, no announcers, won't this be a treat?
1:17 The face off dots are highlighted in purple, giving them the appearance of a bruised nipple.
1:20 Brent Sopel on an international size surface. I keep thinking aneurysm.
1:22 Play picking up now, Sharp had a chance, as did Skille. Niemi makes a good save on the other end.
1:26 And it's John Madden taking our usual, lazy, offensive zone penalty.
1:27 Shorty for Brouwer, see what happens when Toews is on the kill? Oh look, we've brought our goal song across the pond, further complicating US diplomacy.
1:30 I know, we're all in shock that Brouwer finished a chance, but maybe the secret all along was to give him ones he couldn't possibly miss.
1:32 Automatic icing, and Don Cherry nods in appreciation. Then belches.
1:35 Soupy gets a soft one, through the five-hole. Hawks starting to dominate now. Chelsea dagger plays again, the Swiss consider declaring war upon us.
1:40 Lesson for Davos, don't let Kane just stand behind the net, and he scores on the rebound of the chance he created. Chelsea dagger plays for a third time, Swiss prime minister asks for launch codes.
1:42 Obviously, this game is for the bottom-roster guys, but I don't know how much you can learn watching the play against sub-NHL competition.
1:45 End of the 1st, 3-0 Four Feathers. God it's wonderful not having a real job, isn't it?
1:49 If the NHL played on the Int'l surface, I think the Hawks would win the President's Trophy.
2:03 Killion (Dirt) here now - I'm taking over for Sam to give him a little break before the third period. So far.. umm.. nothing really to report
2:05 Lazy clear leads to an odd number rush for the Hawks.. but Davos turn it right around on the Hawks. No Goals for either team though
2:07 What's everyone's thoughts on the singing/chanting? I've always loved it for soccer games but not sure if I like it so much in hockey where the pace is much much faster..
2:08 The announcers finally kicked in for me..interesting. Just in time to see Patrick Sharp go off for high-sticking
2:10 Some good cycling of the puck and then two great cross-ice passes on the powerplay leads to Davos getting a wide open shot. Widing gets the goal for Davos 3-1 Hawks.
2:11 The lazy dumb penalties we saw for a while last year evidently haven't been corrected. Hammer #2 goes off for interference.
2:14 Back at even strength and the Hawks get a good rush up ice - Bickle takes it hard to the net and gets it off the post. Brophey follows him in and gets the easy rebound goal 4-1 Hawks
2:18 The Hawks had some good work with the puck down low and draw the penalty. Davos' Stoop sits 2 for holding. Is this the Hawks first PP?
2:19 Hawks also use the stoppage to switch up goalies - Crawford in. Looks like Davos picked up another penalty so we're 5 on 3
2:21 Some great pressure from the Hawks but the Davos' killers do a great job blocking lanes and getting some luck so we're back at even strength. Both Kaner and Sharp missed solid chances.
2:22 Pressure continues and the Hawks are changing with the puck in offensive zone..
2:24 Bickle flies off the bench towards the net and gets a great chance but the Davos' goalie comes up with a big pad save.. tough break there.
2:25 Sharp gets in alone one on one off a great feed from Skille and doesn't miss. Nice backhander lifted over the leg. About 5 minutes left in the second
2:27 Two on one for Davos but Crawford keeps up with the play getting a pad out and blocking the shot.
2:28 Brophy goes off for a hook which means we get to see some more fun ideas from Q on the PK.
2:30 Some guy named Mahra goes off for a hook which means we'll see about a 1 minute PP for the Hawks in about 30 seconds
2:33 The power play takes a while to get going but nothing happening til Davos' keeper covers up and Toews gives a little push which results in some words being exchanged... I wonder how universal "fuck you" is..
2:34 That'll end the second - I think we're opening up a new thread for the 3rd period and Sam is coming back to take us home. 5-1 Hawks.

Only notable name for Davos:
Alexandre Daigle. I bet theres still some sore wounds in Ottawa.
twitter.com/kaner88
Daigle?
Can’t take all the blame for what happened in Ottawa for the donkeys running the show (Sexton and Firestone) deserve more of the blame than anyone else. Daigle wasn’t deserving of the #1 pick of the draft which should have been Pronger, but sometimes a young franchise has to learn the hard way. Wasn’t all his fault (the nurse suit and that contract) but still was a massive disappointment nonetheless.
It's never about the eventual destination, but rather the long journey and its challenging obstacles that are presented and what it takes to overcome them, that makes the taste of success all the more worthwhile!!!
well this is one bonus to being unimployed

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a goddamn shame.
i thought the musical selections have all been a bit interesting for an international exhibition…..opps nevermind here comes the stereotypical European techno
Here’s hoping for some Scandanavian doom metal during stoppages in Helsinki.

if you ever feel the need to murder a bandmate and toss molotov cocktails into churches and only serve 21 years in the steel bar hotel, then Norway is the place for you.

The speedy hawks seem to have the advantage on gigantor ice
No touch icing is stupid and this huge ice surface is making me think of soccer (football for anyone who wants to be a jagoff) which makes me think of dudes falling down without getting touched which then makes me think of playoff basketball. vomits
"which makes me think of dudes falling down without getting touched which then makes me think of playoff basketball."
Who’s the “jagoff,” again?
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
The basketball players?

From the two minutes I've seen...
I think we should really start lobbying for the Hawks to play every game on the large ice surface..

At least they have every oppirtunity to screw up uniforms world wide.

Something tells me that...
…HCDavos has just realized that the Hawks are a much better team than the NYRangers and can actually score more than 1 goal per period and have offensive talent.
Toews and Kane on the PK? So far great idea and sweet goal by Brouwer (pleasantly suprised he didn’t miss). Campbell’s was WEAK.
It's never about the eventual destination, but rather the long journey and its challenging obstacles that are presented and what it takes to overcome them, that makes the taste of success all the more worthwhile!!!
Well back to the action...
…hopefully more of the same this period with no ‘letting of the gas’ for the Hawks.

ARE U FOLKZ REDDY 4 SUM BEERS?
WELL I GOT SUM 4 WHEN DA SEESUN STARTS
Just wanted to throw that out there. Everyone got it? Great.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
I've always wondered what the hell was with Hammer's helmet/visor.
Is his helmet constantly tilted back so that his visor is an unintentional, plexiglass cow-catcher? Or does he have some freakishly shaped head that prevents him from wearing a helmet properly?
I want answers.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
My first question was fucking stupid.
Of course his helmet is always tipped back so that his visor creates a plexiglass cow-catcher. What I’m wondering is why.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
modifications needed to be made for a 5 speaker Bose surround sound system to allow Nik to be able to hear Jens Lekman albums on a perpetual loop.

But his albums are only recorded in two channels...
HAMMER DON’T CARE. HAMMER WANT FIVE SPEAKER.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
Does his head have some sort of subhuman backwards tilt like Homer Simpson?
Seriously. This bothers me.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
Good save by Niemi
First tough shot of the game

I know there are lot of mountains if Switzerland...
…but these announcers sound like they are announcing from the mountains for what’s with the echoes…echoes…echoes!

I think we're opening a new thread for the third period
Check the main page to find Sam’s commentary… I’m going to go get some leftover pizza..
Forget the commentating
I’m watching the 3rd period on mute for I can’t stand the echoes.
