My Name Is Jonas - Ducks 3, Hawks 1

What a Sisyphean ordeal that was.
On the heels of last night's unacceptable third period collapse, the majority speculated that the Hawks would come out with bloodlust flying around the ice to start the game tonight, and for the most part they did early in the contest, even with Marian Hossa sitting tonight's contest out for undisclosed reasons. While that sounds rather ominous, we'll hold off on the speculation and panic until more details emerge. In any event, though the Ducks were clearly trapping, the Hawks still started off peppering Jonas Hiller, a trend that would continue for all 60 minutes. The Ducks scored first on a power play about seven and a half minutes into the game when Antti Niemi misplayed sweeping the puck to the corner while crouching at his post, and Corey Perry picked up the loose puck and then got it past Niemi. Later on, Saku Koivu redirected a Bobby Ryan shot on a counter-attack rush with all three members of the Sharp line caught deep.
From there on out, it became the Jonas Hiller show.
The second and third periods, the Hawks outshot the Ducks 34-6, which ordinarily is a good thing, but the eye test would reveal a bit of a different story. With Anaheim trapping, the Hawks reverted to their previous ways when dealing with such a tactic. Forced neutral zone passes and a refusal to dump the puck in when facing three and four defenders (we're looking at you yet again, Versteeg) at the Anaheim blue line led to the transition game being gummed up enough to give even Jacques Lemaire an erection. On top of that, the Ducks defense collapsed to keep the vast majority of chances to the outside, and those that got through, were completely smothered by Hiller, who gave nearly no rebounds. All of this adds up to a recipe for what we saw, which was a high shot total, but little to show for it on the scoreboard. Duncan Keith finally solved Hiller with about five minutes left on a high blast from the point, but ended up handing Teemu Selanne his obligatory goal by making a blind pass just inside his own blue line while Niemi was pulled. Ducks 3, Hawks 1, and three days to prepare for a home-and-home against a ball-sweat-stench-bad Columbus. So this is not the end of the world, but certainly a frustrating watch.
- Credit Anaheim for almost flawlessly executing a bend-but-don't break road game plan. Even with two of their scorers back in the lineup in Selanne and Ryan Getzlaf, they had no interest in gunning with the Hawks.
- When is Joel Quenneville going to cock-punch Versteeg by cutting his playing time for his continued refusal to get the puck deep? This is getting old, Steeger. We all know how slick you are, but you're not going to get through three guys every damn time.
- Jack Skille skated in Hossa's lineup spot tonight, for the most part on a line with Patrick Sharp and Andrew Ladd. While he wasn't a liability out there, the game he plays when up with the big club would have probably been better served on Madden's line, and having Versteeg skate with Sharp and Ladd, giving that line an actual playmaker.
- Speaking of Madden, it was very, very curious to not see Coach Q not get all matchy-uppy using Madden against Getzlaf and Perry, and conversely, it didn't seem that he did much to get Kane and Toews away from Niedermayer.
Even aside from the gaudy goaltending numbers, Jonas Hiller did a fantastic job of basically swallowing every shot that he saw this evening, keeping the chances to mostly one-and-dones. While he was aided by his defense, he certainly did his part, as well, and made the saves he needed to make. And it pisses me off I have to have this column laced with Weezer references, as they basically have like four good songs, yet somehow everyone in my age group has got the utmost level of nostalgic reverence for their early work. Ok, enough with the music tirade.

He was on the same bench
Wasn’t he? Plus he was in last night and brought his stink lines with him. Even if you can’t see them, you know they are there coating every player who passes him.
Let's just let that go and start fresh

Or, just admit that Hiller fucked us over tonight.

Did the your scarecrow buddy find his brain? Sad to see supposed Hawk fans rooting against them so they attempt a thought on a Blog
Supposed hawks fan? how’s that? the point i made in the last thread was too many people criticizing the play of one player at the expense of the whole team. you think I wasn’t pulling for Niemi last night? seems to me you would be pulling for huet to suck just to prove your point.
Let’s let it go and move on. It is getting tired, and I was in the wrong to post it. I’ll man up and admit it.

It is nice to see that you are the ones
that can’t let it go. You beg for us to leave it be but it is the first post on this board by you all, not me or Ed or anyone else.
Well put esq
some of these guys actually said that we should write off their insults as them just being sarcastic but if we returned them, let me see what was the word one goof used I think they said if we returned the insult we were douchebags yeah thats what it was. I gotta tell ya thats the kinda stuff that keeps ya coming back Thats hilartous You woulda thought I was Bowman and sent Kane,Tazer and Dunc to Detroit for Dan Cleary they way the board lit up. Apparently theres a little group here who feel that what they say goes and thats it if you don’t agree you’re wrong gawd help you if you have an opinion and these losers feel more comfy in their snuggies , commenting when you leave. Sad very very sad tell ya what Ill try and pop in when you losers are around sorry I missed you. Was hoping you were here Oh and please take note my comments are in reply to board comments and are directly aimed at those losers who didnt want to be part of the discussion when I was here but chose to comment after I left Im sure there are good open minded Hawk fans here.
LOL
Let me see if I can get all of them in one post, without being called Hawk61-the 3rd by mjthor.

Most of them were sarcastic, but sarcasm is just a half step away from pissy, I miss the line sometimes, so do others.

Not trying to be a dick, but even though I try not to act like this, some do, and you did come off that way, just a little.
these losers feel more comfy in their snuggies
That is a wonderful image, but I would have said they were in their animal print snuggie, just to give it that little something “extra”
Im sure there are good open minded Hawk fans here.
Not to start a riot, but I am sure that it’s possible that there are also a few fans that are closed minded, and will refuse to change their opinions no matter what evidence is presented. The best thing to do in that case, is to agree that we are fans, and try not to beat a change of mind through the forehead. Just my opinion, and I could be wrong. Not that anyone will convince me of it, but it’s possible.

Huet Wins/Losses
Just thinking…..
Seems there are a lot of stats (Corsi, behind the net, +/-….whatever) to be able to quantitatively argue what players are doing well and which aren’t. Even when teams are winning you know so and so sucks because he’s a -12 even though the team is in 1st place. For goalies basically seems there is only save %. Yet it seems goalies can win/lose games for their teams.
Tonight for example, without quantifying things, it “feels” like Hiller won the game tonight and not that Niemi lost it. It also “felt” like Niemi won the Vancouver game and the Pittsburgh game. Also seemed like Huet would have lost the Calgary game if Hawks didn’t overcome the 5 goal deficit……on and on. I’m not going to go through every game, but just feels like teams win/lose most games, but goalies win some games by standing on their head or lose some by letting in soft goals regardless of the forwards and D doing well/bad. Other times teams win in spite of their goalies having bad games and vice versa. Question is: are there any goalie stats that could be used that would show what goalies did in the games like those I mentioned above besides the save %? On TV they separate some shots into “good scoring chances”. Save % on good scoring chances would be nice but as far as I know “good scoring chances” is subjective. Times a goalie was “star of the game divided by games played?”. Anyway….any ideas/comments on other goalie stats?
GVT or Goals Versus Threshold
Too late to explain (not that I completely get it myself) but here’s part 1 and here’s part 2 of what it is.
by chiblackhawks on Jan 10, 2010 10:21 PM CST up reply actions
Pretty complex stuff
…and I assume someone out there has crunched these numbers. But just to add an element of reality (and make the whole thing that much more time consuming), has anyone done these calculations by only accounting for goals scored when the game was still in question? Say, no more than a 2 goal difference either way? The easiest comparison I can draw is between a goalie and the closer on a baseball team. You know the whole deal about closers not pitching as well in non-save situations? I think there’s an argument to be made for goalies having the same issue. When you’re up 5-1 and you’ve only seen 15 shots or so all night, is it unreasonable to say you’re not as sharp as you could be, not in the flow of the game? Huet’s been responsible for a number of wins where he stood on his head in the first ten minutes while we were off to one of our famous slow starts. He keeps the game scoreless, we put up four in the last 45 minutes, and the next day everyone raves about the offensive production and defensively responsible skaters.
I’m not blaming the Saturday loss on Huet. But I’d buy the argument that at 5-1, he might have lost some focus and things snowballed from there. I’d also buy the argument that the other 19 guys lost some focus too. I say we just lace ’em up a little tighter and go get ’em next time.

GVT = Save Percentage
Looked at the numbers and equations albeit with one eye closed ready to sleep……basically the goaltender’s number depends on save percentage. A constant here, a multiplier there…….but if you listed all the goalies in order of GVT and also in order of save %, the order would be the same. Looks like is a goalie good or not discussion will always be subjective. Ah well….I tried.
I haven’t really been able to study GVT yet so I’ll give it a look when I get the chance, but I think its main purpose seems to be to provide a fair rating to all players on a team so that their contributions sort of become clearer and are identified by a single metric.
by chiblackhawks on Jan 11, 2010 8:02 AM CST up reply actions
Is there an inverse correlation between shots against and save percentage?
In other words, does a goalie who becomes “untested” during the course of a game lose their focus and thus give up more goals, lowering their save percentage?
One of the SCH guys looked at that a while back, though they looked at those facing a higher number of shots against, and didn’t see a correlation. I think either Puck Prospectus or Behind the Net also looked at it, and saw little correlation. I don’t remember, though, how they drew their conclusions then.
I only wish puck analysis went as deep as sabermetrics did.

We see the rebound effect for the first four seconds, but if a goalie hasn’t faced a shot for between five and 150 seconds, it has no impact on the percentage of shots he allows…Basically, this hockey announcer truism just isn’t true.

I like this post...
I don’t know if what you’re talking about can be reduced to numbers. Somebody (hawks61?) posted some killer quote from Dryden on goaltending a while back that I’d like to get my hands on.
Hate to be unscientific, but my gut is with yours. Usually, goalies don’t determine outocmes. In those games, the Hawks almost never lose (in Anaheim, Phoenix, maybe a Nashville game, Vancouver.)
Sometimes, goalies do determine outcomes. In those games, the Hawks ain’t so good. The Hawks goalies’ have won a couple but lost more, and we’ve seen cartwheels in the other net more often than ours.
It is what it is, and may very well be enough.
Look
The hawks will win as a team and lose as a team.
This is the ultimate team game.
Could Niemi have been better? I don’t know, I missed the game. Stats say he could have been……
The Ducks have a few snipers that could make anybody look bad. I mean how many goals does Selanne have now?
Huet looked bad vs Wild. What are you gonna do?
Team will be OK. Ego deflated, but that is good.

there’s a large and vocal group of ScumCity residents who have spent the past two seasons reading from the exact same script as our Huet haters this season, but of course the Scum fans target was Ozzy.

Is it getting closer? Could it be the sky that’s falling? Hmmm.
Glad to see the Hawks get some bad games and bad luck out of the way now. I still remember when Scum put up 62 wins in 95-96. They only lost 20 all season and then lost 9 out of 19 in the playoffs including being beat by Colorado in the Conf. Finals. So get the losing and crap games out of the way now. And stop turning over the freaking puck in your own end!
Matchups
I wondered the same thing as the game went on, about getting different (better?) matchups since we had the last change. Seemed to me that as matchup oriented as Q has been in some games, he didn’t seem as focused on it this time. Is asking that kind of question in the postgame presser considered a no-no? Cause I didn’t hear it asked, and the whole thing was very un-Q-like. In my mind, anyway.

Part of Hiller giving up no rebounds
seemed to be because all of the Hawks were aiming high. This usually led to the puck going over the net and out of play or having to cycle the puck around. When a goalie is standing on his head as Hiller was, it might be better to aim low and try to create some rebounds and lucky bounces.
this isn't an exact quote, but...
Somebody asked Mike Bossy how he scored so many goals. He said that he “shot it as hard as he could, and aimed low”, so that if the goalie gave up a rebound, one of his teammates would have a chance for a poke-in. I think we can all learn something from Mike Bossy, he Averaged 112 points/year in his career.

I hope we don’t play the Ducks or the ’Nucks. Those teams put a stranglehold on our offense.

You sure this is a Hawks Blog ?
I kinda figured a few of you hueylovers would root against the Hawks tonite and the run back here and post another pointless rant even though if you actually watched the game you’d realize that he only gave up one even strength goal and we lost the game not because he sucked but bacause Hiller was great tonight bit different from the night before. Doesnt change the fact that Huey is a $5 ,million dollar per albatross to this team who is an average goalie at best. but the Huet lovers will probably get to touch themselves again next game as , for reasons I dont get, he’ll probably be back in net. I’m sure the Hueylovers think that Huey would have ben a difference maker tonight? Really?? You’re kidding right? Oh and I find it really entertaing that some, and I do stress some of you, didn’t want to chat when there was ample time when I was here but sure got chatty when you knew I wasn’t around. Lets make something clear here I HOPE Huey proves me wrong and he plays out of his mind and rises to the level of a Broduer, leads the Hawks to a championship so I can go on a bender until they put my face on a milk carton, saving that for the championship by the way. However nothing I’ve seen, despite chance after chance has indicated that huey has the ability to lead this team beyond what the defense does for him.

It's all about defense
It’s like that for all goalies.
If you keep the shots under 25, you will win many more games than you lose. If you rely on your golaie to be fantastic all the time, you will lose.
The team has allowed around 25 shots on average, therefore they win most of their games. Goalies will have bad games. Defense will break down. Hopefully, the goalies will allow the team to have a chance to win, which these two have done (some times better than other times).
Quit the damn bitching about the goalies, both of them. It is a tired argument that serves absolutely no purpose. While they are a very important piece of the team, the best a goalie can do by alone is a tie (0-0).
You can’t win by zero goals.
This team is fun to watch. I will keep watching and having a good time. We should all enjoy what we are seeing. Long road trip ahead. It could be ugly, but I think not.

First off, we aren’t Huey Lovers – we just get tired of his constant bashing. He is our #1 goalie, and he’s good and so yeah, we’ll defend him.
Second, we can’t all be on when you are. This isn’t a chat room, it’s a blog.
Third, I don’t think anyone here has ever said that Huey is will one day be an eilte goalie. What I’ve heard is that he’s good and can play some great games, which is hopefully all we need.
And lastly, I think the blog writers here and us commenters are very welcoming of new people, in general. However; just like you probably wouldn’t want someone coming into your house and starting shit with you and your guests the first time you meet them, I guess it’s kinda the same here.

Mockery is the only choice
When people continue to bang on the table demanding we admit Huet sucks unless we can irrefutably prove the table banger wrong. When it comes to table bangers, there is no proof that is irrefutable when they have made their minds up. Even if this team wins a cup, not one attitude will be changed about Huet.
13 shots - 2 goals
Is NOT good. Your Holy Save percentage is 85%? (give or take)
However, he (Niemi the messiah) only gave up two goals. The Hawks should win that game.

These guys have to learn to deal with the downs and the ups. In the 5 or 6 games prior to the 3rd period on Saturday, every puck seemed to bounce their way, every pass stuck on their stick. Last 1.3333333, the opposite. They probably got a little full of themselves, thinking their shit didn’t stink. Their response in the next 10 games, most on the road, will tell you a lot about this team’s stuffings.
Interesting little fact
from Puck Prospectus. It wasn’t the focus of the article, but here goes.
Interestingly, none of the top 15 goalies in regular season save percentage advanced past the second round last year…in general it was the best teams that advanced through last year’s postseason, not the teams with the best goalies.
Also, the fact that Fleury, the goalie who hoisted the cup last year, was BELOW AVERAGE in the playoffs.
The more you know…..

And judging from these comments these guys are Huet haters? Interesting…
Peaking in December is not the way you win a Stanley Cup. They have been playing so well over the past two months, there was nowhere for this team to go but down. I believe this is just a small, temporary glitch for this team, and I can only hope their best hockey will be seen in the spring and early summer months.

Why I am an "old man"
Okay, first off let me say this:
WARNING: Painfully graphic statement below! Do not read this if you are squeamish!
I played Tuba in high school and it started raining one night at a state playoff football game. (You would not believe the time it takes to polish a tuba!) I started to run down the wooden stands to get to the bus, and tried to slow down to avoid a flag girl. My foot slid between the seats and I fell forward. This caused my knee to bend backwards, which in turn pushed my knee cap out the back of my leg. I rode to the hospital with part of my Tuba crushed in one hand, and my knee cap in the other.
My other knee was injured playing Soccer because a kid missed the ball, but the cleats caught my knee cap and pushed it up into my thigh, it didn’t seem quite as bad… ish. I had both of them replaced, about a year aprt, with teflon knee caps. The whole Teflon thing was pretty experimental at the time, but it worked out good enough for me to sign with a pro Soccer team a year later. Now at 40-mumble, I walk like an 80 year old man during cold and/or bad weather.
You may now continute your previously scheduled reading…

So...
I spent a year getting drunk at an English university and, at the end of it all, the World Cup was raging. At halftime, we’d go out and kick the ball around. I chased it up this huge dirt berm next the field we were playing on, and as I was running down, slipped on the grass (in case you haven’t heard, it’s rainy in England) and fell squarely on my ass.
We all laughed.
But, suddenly, I wasn’t flexible at all (and I’ve always very flexible). When I got back to the States, and started running, I was hit by pain so bad I couldn’t walk. Turns out I didn’t just have a bulging disc, I’d ruptured that motherfucker so bad that when I got the MRI taken, everyone who saw the films called me within minutes.
So, I had surgery two years ago, and I’ve been fine since, but I’m not yet 25, so I’ve got a long road ahead of me.

two tuba questions:
1. $3,000 to fix a tuba? Wow! How much does a new tuba cost?
2. Is a rusty tuba the same as a “rusty trumpet” and/or a “rusty trombone”?
First, the tuba that I played in high school, (made by Yamaha), cost 12,000 new. However, it was bought back in the late 70’s, so I’m not sure what the price is now. There isn’t a lot of call for an electric tuba in bands now days. (Yes, that is a Bloom County reference.)
Second, I never allowed the tuba to, um, rust. They are brass, which tarnishes, not rusts. (Yes, I know what you meant. No, I am not going there.)

Good point about the brass not rusting. That goes for the trumpet and the trombone = all brass. Whoever came up with those terms obviously didn’t know metallurgy 101. Although, “tarnished trombone” doesn’t have the same ring to it.

"Trying is the first step towards failure" Homer Simpson

build them one of these really,really good hockey teams?
"Trying is the first step towards failure" Homer Simpson
No
Maybe he could evaluate (scout), but he can’t deal with free agents.
You must have a short memory.
Do you remember Adrian Aucoin? Martin Havlat for three years. Khabby for three years. Huet ring a bell. Campbell for 7 mil
Sopel, Versteeg, Buff
Not good.
"All questions must be submitted in writing"
Barker
I forgot Barker
3 million per year. How does that ever happen?
Buff makes 3 million per year. How does that happen?
When it happens, you get fired.
6 million dollar mistakes get you fired. He has a few of them. Huet, Khabby, Havlat, Buff, Barker
"All questions must be submitted in writing"
No argument here on that
He certainly didn’t economize. When it was Havlat and Khabby, no one really cared. They were decent (#24 is much better than decent) talent on a franchise that was rotting/rotten at the core. When it was Campbell and Huet, before the ‘08-’09 season, it made sense to add top talent to a developing team. With the RFA fiasco last summer, though, I think the Hawks decided it was a trend.
Whether that was all Tallon’s fault, though. Well, who knows?
All right, come on, dummy, you won the game. Come on. Pick up your trophy.
Tallon seemed to ge a very good judge of raw young talent and a nice guy/mentor
but a horrible business man.
He’d be better suited to a chief scout/director of player development sort of role than for GM.
Even as chief scout/director of player development...
I would think other teams would bo offering him a “King’s ramson”.
"Trying is the first step towards failure" Homer Simpson
yes, yes and yep...... Huge Campbell fan....Sopel is still playing with Versteeg and Buff
and like Huet are all part of best team in Hockey-that was put together by Mr Tallon
"Trying is the first step towards failure" Homer Simpson
I like Campbell too don't get me wrong
I’m just saying that for 7 mil …………
I also think the Huet can get the job done but for 5.6mil………….
Read my Barker post above.
I also like this team, but it is not without glaring mistakes made by Tallon. He may have built a great team today, but could have cost the long term. That we will have to wait to see. It will be fun to watch.
"All questions must be submitted in writing"
Let's be honest-- Huet was a red hot goalie when we signed him--and wasn't there some intense
bidding for Campbell?
I agree long term we will have money issues….but when we win the cup his year……It will be fun to watch

Poor Jack Skille
I was curious about how much per day it costs Skille when he gets reassigned to Rockford immmmmeaaadiatly after a game. Chris Kuc wrote about it in October when it seemed he would do a lot more of it.
$6,000 a day. I know he got paid being a high draft pick but that would suck. Plus you have to drive to Rockford. Rockford is like a boring Naperville, especially without an extra 6 grand in your pocket
http://archives.chicagotribune.com/2009/oct/18/sports/chi-18-blackhawks-skille-chicagooct18
You can't get more boring than Naperville
Unless you live in Holland, MI
Believe me.
"All questions must be submitted in writing"

To Rockford after the game and recall them the next day, do we think they actually have to drive back and forth. I mean does the NHL have some sort of punchcard? OR does he get less money for food and he can’t hang out with the cool guys for the night?
