Still Missing the Purple and Gold: Jewels From The Crown, Battle of California
In our first podcast, for some reason (read: alcohol) I mentioned that no one on the Kings roster really scared me. Look no further than that for proof that I'm an idiot. Anze Kopitar might not be in the race for the scoring title like he was at the start of the year but he's still a monster. If you weren't in love with Drew Doughty before the Olympics, chances you are now. The Kings are a sneaky good team that will certainly be a candidate for an upset in the first round of the playoffs - unless of course they end up catching the Coyotes and grabbing the 4th spot.
This isn't really a team you want to see when you have the question mark that currently is the Blackhawks goalie. Antti Niemi will get the start and he did have some success against the Kings the only time he faced them.. of course that was last year when the Kings were a pretty different team. The Kings are coming off a dismantling of the Blue Jackets on Monday where their power play scored on half the opportunities they were given and their defense held the BJs to just 11 shots, not even the Hawks at their best came close to that so far this season.
If we see the sloppy Hawks defensive play continue into this game, the Kings aren't a team that will miss many of their chances. While only a few of their players will really stand out, none are really a glaring weakness. Jonathan Quick may only be 2-4-0 against the Hawks in his career so far but he's posting an impressive .916 SV% against the boys in red.
Not exactly what you want to see for a team that's facing some adversity lately, is it? As I mentioned in the post below though, the Hawks will be getting some very welcomed energy from the return of Adam Burish tonight. It's no surprise that he's already running his mouth about getting out there and hitting people - and it's of less surprise that we're glad to hear it. The Kings do have a goon in Raitis Ivanans who could likely send Burish back on the IR if they chose to drop the gloves so Burish should keep his head up if the Kings choose to dress this neanderthal... but he hasn't played since the second of this month so who knows if he'll skate today. Wayne Simmonds is the Kings next leading player and while he probably could still mop the floor with Burish, they're at least in the same weight class.
As usual, Sam and his cronies will be outside the UC selling the Committed Indian before the game and you have no excuses not to buy one. If you're not going to the game - check out the links on the left where you can buy an electronic copy for today's issues.

Burish
The timing for Burish probably couldn’t be better, but a 4th liner can’t be expected to give you that much of a boost in the long run.
Who sits tonight?

Plaease make it Kopecky!
A guy like Burish – even as a minimal TOI 4th liner – can make a difference in a team’s energy level, and focus, and comraderie.
And really, it isn’t that the Hawks lack talent that they’re stumbled lately – it is focus and consistently appled effort that has hobbled them
My thoughts exactly
It just seems like they need someone to push them a little and give the bench some more energy and Burish is just what the doctor ordered.
Think its gonna be...
Eager-Kopecky-Burish

He can stop the hawks from having the 2nd period collapse by keeping them loose.
Drink it up!
I think I agree, but he seems to have played his best (still not that great) recently. I’m hoping its Buff.

probably won’t be Buff. Lord knows his give a shit efforts lately could use a kick in the pants that a scratch might provide, my guess is Q is hoping some 4th lin time will do that. Fraser is out if Kopecky isn’t.
My guess is for Burish’s first game back you might get Fraser-Burish-Eager tonight if all of them can go with how well everyone knows they mesh. Might as well take advantage of that energy boost with reuniting them while you can after that game against scum.
by runningquicklynowhere on Mar 10, 2010 3:49 PM CST up reply actions
Fraser's already sitting
and one more needs to go. Likely either Eager or Kopecky. Don’t shoot me but I think Kop’s been better than Eager since the break…

I think a Burish, Buff and Eager line could be good. Plus you have two big guys out with Adam to protect him if need be…

Off topic, but this is something that has to be adressed.
How in the world, on the same day nonetheless, does the NHL talk about making amendments to change the rules on hitting to the head and making the penalties more severe give Matt Cooke, and his cheap shot, a slap on the wrist and award him NO SUSPENSION at all?

Regarding heads shots, the NHL is a joke
and Matt Cooke… no need to elaborate. What a turd.
"My Father's name is Jack, and my mother's name is Daniels..."
The Return of the Niemisis
Is this the answer to the end of heartache or is this just prolonging of the enevitable that both of these netminders still suffer from confidence issues? Can Niemi finally nail down this position so this topic of discussion can be laid to rest or will it be another result that just adds fuel to the fire? Well Niemisis hope you can extinguish the fires and have your guns fully loaded.

seabrook looked good again. Niemi played well when he wasn’t not playing well. Their 1st and 3rd period dominance continues. the 2nd period is a disgrace. Their PP is a bigger disgrace. Hossa only scores goals if the team is shorthanded and I think I caught Kane taking a nap on one of his shifts.

The Contrarian
No mediocre enforcer will ever be celebrated like Adam Burish in Chicago.
I dont dislike the man but the cult following he has puzzles me. He went out and fought for show tonight. Id really rather let him play the game a little bit and not risk further injury.
Good job to the boys tonight though. Im glad were back on our feet.
Bring on the best of the East.
"Whats your location Chief?"
"Well, Im on a road. Appears to be asphalt. I am directly under the Earth's sun......now."
It's because he's fucking awesome.
I don’t see what else you could want. He gives the team energy when they need it most.
His injury was lower body. A fight has a little chance of reinjuring him. Very little. Plus his plan was to get a goal, fight, and go over 50% on faceoff wins. I think he made himself heard, with plenty of good plays. He had a takeaway, a sweet diving block, an assist, and a fight.
Welcome back Burish. I think I speak for all of Chicago when I say “we missed you buddy.”
I do enjoy what he brings to the team
He plays his ass off. Yeah, sometimes it’s misdirected and he’s a bonehead, but that’s expected from a 4th liner. I assume Burish is probably one of three main vocal leaders on the team (Toews, Madden) and the one who has the greatest ability to really excite the other players and work them into bloodlust mode. His example on the ice might be what someone like Buff needs and I’m sure Burish also has no problem giving him an earful.
Well, folks, I want to thank you for being here for the recording of my live comedy album. Funny material and laughter will be dubbed in later.

he may be sort of a cementhead, but he's a very positive cementhead on this team
his enthusiasm is contagious to the guys with real talent
I think he's great
I don’t know that anyone else on the team just enjoys being on the ice as much as Burish does. He goes full out pretty much every shift and I enjoy watching someone having fun and working hard.
