Back To The Message At Hand, Fife

So a couple NHL related things before getting back to the Olympics:
-For those who missed it, Alex Auld was put on waivers, indicating that Marty Turco is almost certainly staying in Big D for the rest of the year. In my mind, this is a relief. Turco at this point in his career is hardly an upgrade from what we have. His playoff performances have been spotty, and what I saw recently doesn't ring the words "automatic Cup" in my mind. So that basically leaves Tomas Vokoun for the people who just have to have somebody (aw, isn't that romantic? Love is for assholes, Frank Zappa told me so). Jaro Halak isn't going anywhere, as Carey Price is the one they're going to ship off. Anyone who wants Price here is a complete and utter moron. Vokoun's contract makes a deal impossible, unless Stan can get real creative and include Huet in it, which I don't think he can. Secondly, Vokoun has won as many playoff series as Huet or Niemi, so you're not buying pedigree there. Thirdly, and rarely talked about, is the adjustment one would have to go through to play behind the Hawks defense. It can't be easy to go from facing 33 shots a night to 20, and who knows how he'd handle that. Better everyone just worry about shoring up our defensive issues of recent play.
-The Hawks return to practice today. It'll be interesting to see how Madden looks. We've always said the break would do him wonders, and hopefully we'll get that hellion from October and November back, because we'll need it.
Olympic Thoughts:
-I don't know why I thought Russia would mentally be there. Have they ever been? Considering this is the 4th time the pros have played in the Olympics and Russia will have played for a gold once is pretty staggering. The only people more convinced of how good they were than us were them. They've apparently been just obnoxious to deal with, so no one in the press will miss them. Their coach, like all Russian coaches, managed this game in a horrifically arrogant way and got pantsed for it. If anything, I'm even less afraid of the Sharks now. That's your goalie? Ok....
Secondly, Caps in the Finals? Will Ovechkin have Toews's teeth-marks out of his ass by then? Bring it, and we be not afraid.
-I am afraid of Canada though. But I'm taking great heart in the fact that Toews was probably their best forward.
-Tomas Kopecky has looked quite useful this tournament, but is still very much a square peg for the Hawks (who would have to be a round hole, obviously)
-So all the Hawks Olympians will play the maximum games, except for Kane who'll get 6. What effect this will have? No one knows. They've tried to do studies on this, and there's no conclusive evidence. All these guys are under 26 and should be able to handle it, except for Hossa who missed the first two months as is. I'd like to think that Toews, after seeing he can flat out dominate on a world-stage, comes back and simply devours teams. I'd like to think the defensive solidarity Duncan Keith has rediscovered brings his game back to autumn-levels. I'd like to think playing well gives Kopecky confidence to be better when back here. But we won't know until we get there. Still, I hope Coach Q will have the option of having all of these guys sit out a couple games in April.

Toews was the one who had that shot that barley even hit his finger, but must of just hit it somehow where no padding was.

as much as i usually agree with the writers
of this blog…seems contradictory that you say goaltending isnt an issue on this team and then rebuff any fear you have on the sharks based on the play of their goaltender in the olympics…
while i feel goaltending isnt an issue, i dont think it will be for the sharks either…
watch yourselves boys
Nabby is supposed to be a strength of the Sharks, right?
So when one of their strengths is looking rather weak lately, it makes the team seem less impressive.
No one has ever said goaltending is one of our strengths, so I think the comparison isn’t quite there. If Keith were still looking sketchy, that might be a better comparison. I don’t think you can make the goalie comparison in this case. Well, that’s my thought on this, anyway.
by Katherine215 on Feb 25, 2010 1:39 PM CST up reply actions
Agreed...
…it’s not that Nabokov is worse than Huey/Niemi, it’s just that the Hawks have the best team defense in the league, so they can get by with average goaltending in a way the Shraks can’t.
world-class is what we were told
That’s was why it was supposedly ok for them to have just one line.
so yeah, goalies can be considered kind of equal, but we can roll 4 lines compared to their 1 or 2.
I think that may have been where Sam was going with that.
SCH Resident Idiot
The only Cup we can win is this years
defense
i think it all boils down to the defense. the sharks rely much more on their goalie than the hawks do. the sharks are allowing 31.5 shots per game versus the hawks 24.4.
the keith, seabrook, soupy, hammer, sopel, johnsson group is far superior to boyle, blake, huskins, murray, vlasic (injured) and the worcester shuttle special, thus the dependency on nabby.
I agree
with the Toews, Keith…I’m hoping that they come back with some fire and ready for the strech run. I beleive once this team gets a secure spot, I think Q might rest them a little. However I think in one of the interviews Keith did he said that Q just gives them the days off of practice which helps!
Vokoun, is a pipe dream and don’t think it will happen.
Hockey is life! Lets go Hawks!
If he can keep putting up the numbers he has for them
the Flames are getting phenomenal value on this deal. I hope he doesn’t though. For whatever reason I’ve always hated the Flames more than any other team in the league. Far more than the Scum. I think it’s because for whatever reason, back in the days of NHL 95, I’d smoke everytime 20-0, and then lose to the Flames 3-1. I’ve never let go of that grudge.
i hate the flames
because their home uniforms look so much like ours and i always feel good when i catch a glimpse of their games, but then there’s this demented fucking flaming C on the front and i’m all like, “damn, was not expecting that.” it’s kind of like that scene in The Crying Game only much, much worse.
All right, come on, dummy, you won the game. Come on. Pick up your trophy.
Goalie Talk
“During the course of the season somebody is going to get the net and get the opportunity to keep it,” Quenneville said. “That was the chance and (Niemi) took it and he’s got it. Based on him winning, it’s tough to change the goalie in that situation.”
Looks like Niemi is our No. 1 goalie for the time being.
"Whats your location Chief?"
"Well, Im on a road. Appears to be asphalt. I am directly under the Earth's sun......now."
Interesting
Is that recent or before the break?
Also, I, too, was wondering where Kopecky got the speed. Seems he was all over the place. Well, good for him. Maybe it will translate after all.
I hope Toews gets the attention he deserves from the media after this. He does so many things that often go unnoticed by the untrained eye that I don’t think he gets the credit he deserves. It was along time ago but I keep thinking Bryan Trottier.
If it's media attention and Trottier comparisons you want...
Then it’s media attention and Trottier comparisons you shall get:

Pretty nice compliment to Mr. Doughty as well
"Whats your location Chief?"
"Well, Im on a road. Appears to be asphalt. I am directly under the Earth's sun......now."
I've seen a lot of similarity to Trottier with Toews
I hope to maybe see a bit more to Bossy from Kane over time
I've always liked the Johnny/Trottier parallel
But just recently I looked up Trottier’s career stats, and had forgetten what a prolific goal scorer he was for most of his career. Also, looked at Yzerman’s numbers and saw the same thing. So, Johnny will have to pick up his goal scoring over the long haul to compare with players of that caliber for his entire career, but in all other respects I believe the comparisons are right on, even this early in his career.
non se•qui•tur (nŏn sěk'wĭ-tər, -tŏŏr')
n. 1. An inference or conclusion that does not follow from the premises or
evidence.
2. A statement that does not follow logically from what preceded it.
A bit leery of stats from the late 80s...
…unless they’re normalized somehow. This was a high-scoring era for the NHL.
Gretzky was amazing because, even with ridiculous numbers around the league, he was still head and shoulders above the crowd.
Yzerman was more of a flashy scorer early on though (a la Kane)
Trottier’s whole style of play was more akin to Toews now.
And, scoring was indeed much higher then. There were lots of 50/year goal guys then
It would be nice to see a consistent number one...
but with both guys being inconsistent (I know Niemi’s wins make it look more one sided) I think we are gonna see the Huet/Niemi 1-2 punch for the rest of the season

with the youth teams we used to split periods for the goalies (roughly half & half) sometimes
with the couple of really good teams we had, in the real lopsided blowouts, we’d sometimes change them on the fly to keep them awake.
Our 1-2
Thats not what Q seemed to be indicating today.
My take on the whole thing is that Niemi and Huet are so close that it really doesn’t matter.
"Whats your location Chief?"
"Well, Im on a road. Appears to be asphalt. I am directly under the Earth's sun......now."
Id agree with that

the D has been better than I expected. However, as we get into later playoff rounds, the offensive skills of our opponents will be greater than the average team’s. So I still kind of stand by my position (which can hurt your eyes if you’re looking in a mirror).

Dammit rosendouche
“Turco’s save percentage is better than Hawks netminders Antti Niemi’s .913 and Cristobal Huet’s .903, but his GAA is worse than Niemi’s 2.16 and Huet’s 2.29.
Turco and the Stars missed the playoffs last season, but in the spring of 2008, he backstopped the Stars to the Western Conference finals, where they lost to eventual champion Detroit. Point being, Turco beat Anaheim and San Jose in consecutive rounds, while Huet and Niemi have never won a playoff series.”
I think rosenbloom is trolling hockey fans. There’s no way he’s serious with half these articles.

I’ve covered sports for more than 30 years in print, on radio and now in cyberspace. In that time, I’ve smoked cigars with Michael Jordan, Mike Ditka and Red Auerbach, I’ve been thrown on a table by NHL all-time bad boy Dave "Tiger’’ Williams, I’ve covered the Super Bowl, NBA Finals and Stanley Cup Finals, I’ve had former Bears lineman Stan Thomas act like he was going to squeeze my head like a zit, I’ve interviewed Roger Clemens, Hank Aaron and Donald Trump, I’ve been cursed at by Mike Keenan, I’ve watched Denis Savard go into the Hockey Hall of Fame, I’ve been yelled at by Bill Wirtz, I talked sports with Ben Affleck at the World Series of Poker, and I cry almost every time I see Jim Craig skate up the ice looking for his dad in the stands as the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team wrote the greatest sports story ever. Ever.
He could just replace the whole thing with “I’ve sucked a lot of dick.”
Seriously, If Jon Stewart ever needed more material on the press nowadays caring more about access that actually doing their job, here you go.
