PrintChicago Blackhawks at Los Angeles Kings, Mar 18, 2010 9:30 PM CDT
The Kings come into tonight's tilt in 6th place in the West, and third in the Pacific with 85 points. Not a lot has changed for L.A. since their visit to the United Center last week. Anze Kopitar is still a machine even though he's fallen off the league's scoring leaderboard, Dustin Brown is going to hit everything in sight, Drew Doughty is making a legitimate run at being a Norris Trophy finalist, and Jonathan Quick will almost assuredly get the start in net. Terry Murray's crew has been touch-and-go since the Olympic break, going 3-3-1 since the real games resumed. We know this team can play both up-tempo or gritty and has the depth of personnel for both styles. And oh yeah, they have arguably the worst fucking goal song in the league, right up there with Nashville.
And then there's our battered, bruised, and depleted Men of Four Feathers. In talking with Sam today, both he and I expect them to come out with a snarl akin to that of a wolverine who has been fed a kilo of angel dust (better Faith No More album, by the way). All of the talk to the media after the game seemed to indicate that the Hawks are mad as hell and not going to take this anymore, and Duncan Keith had some particularly choice words on the subject, suggesting that the Hawks may have to start getting dirty themselves. We'll see how that works out for them, but fully expect that the Hawk forwards are going to try to get close enough to Jon Quick to find out what scent of Febreeze the equipment managers use on his gear. And though recently the results haven't gone their way, the Hawks have been putting up 40 shots a game pretty consistently, so it's not all gloom and doom. What the lineup will consist of is really anyone's guess at this point, so I'm not even going to speculate, but Antti Niemi will be getting the start in net. Three points out of the next four and no further injuries would keep this brief road trip from being an unmitigated disaster. With any damn luck that begins tonight. Let's Go Hawks.

I don't care about the outcome of tonight's game
Although a win would be great. Losing our first 4 in a row doesn’t sound very good.
What I really care about is that Seabs isn’t too banged up and doesn’t have to miss much time. As bad as he’s been lately, he’s still a very good defenseman. He would probably be gladly welcomed by many teams even if he was only playing at the level he’s been at the last few games.
yeah, the few times i saw sopel out there with keith yesterday, it was obvious that he (sopel) doesnt deserve a top-pairing…seabrook, faults aside-belonged there because of how well he played and/or how talented he actually is

Congratulations to The Golden Boys- Toews, Seabrook, and Keith- for delivering the GOLD to CANADA.
Seabrook had a concussion earlier this year, no?
ercovery time increases with each concussion (right up until the point of brains – to – earwax dribbling out the ears)
Confusion will be my epitaph.
On the concussions they always say day to day
but that Trib article from back when half the team had one said that their rules are you have to be symptom free for a week. So Q will say “dunno, he looked pretty good today let’s see how he looks tomorrow” but what he really means is no fucking way for a week.
My kid had one around Christmas this year
It was his first one. No activity for 7-10 days after symptom free. If he would have gotten a 2nd one during the season, doc said end of season. the third concussion in the same year was potential permanent damage.
He sat the 7-10 and so far he’s fine. he didn’t get hit by a psychopath though.
Hopefully Seabs headache is gone, he has his balance, and he can see without halos and blurry. the clock starts then

Wiz suspended for eight games? Good.
That’s four or five more than I expected, to be honest. Not that it helps us at all, since we’ll probably be missing Seabs for at least that long. Still, given that they didn’t call the darn thing at all on the ice, eight is some sort of vindication.
I can’t help but wonder if the length of the suspension is some sort of rebuke to the refs for not calling the game at all. It’s rare that you see that sort of suspension for a hit in which both players involved walk off the ice under their own power, so it makes me wonder how much of that time span is the league apologizing in a way for how its officials fucked up and failed to protect the players on ice.

What I like about this supension is this:
Seabrook is probably going to miss 8-10 games because of this hit, and what kind of suspension is Wisniewski getting? 8 games.
For once, the punishement has fit the crime.
"The Golden Goal! And Canada has - once in a lifetime - Olympic Gold!"
Congratulations to The Golden Boys- Toews, Seabrook, and Keith- for delivering the GOLD to CANADA.
In theory
I like that in theory, but I also think the punishment should be worse than the penalty. Let’s say you get some worthless POS like Wiz taking out a Tazer type guy on a cheap shot. Does is seem fair that the Hawks would be down a star for X games and the team with the POS is only missing a POS for X games? I don’t know the answer, but I do know beating the crap out of the POS would certainly make me feel better.
It will take a series of semi-consistent suspensions to work
and that hasn’t exactly been an NHL strong suit.
Confusion will be my epitaph.
An interesting comparison would be
the 10, 20, 50 (or whatever it was) system they have with performance enhancing drugs in baseball… if you think about it, it’s not likely those guys are likely to knock other players out with dangerous injuries (even if they are hurting the sport). So wouldn’t it make sense to adopt something of at least that scale for something that is dangerous? Maybe Q was exaggerating with the “could kill someone” thing but he’s really not that far off the mark.
Look on the bright side...it could be worse
We could be the Flyers and have their goaltending situation..Leighton is out 8-10 weeks. Think we could trade Huet to them now?
ahhhhhh Bach...
that's what I said before the game yesterday
and then yesterday happened. You need to knock on wood right now.

To credit Wisniewski....
At least he’ll be more than a willing combatant the next time {next year} the ‘Hawks meet the Ducks. He won’t shy away from it like Ovechkin will or Matt Cooke tonight.
He’s a stand-up guy and for that I respect him for that.
For Wisniewski’s apology check out TSN and click on worst fear. At least it was a resonable one instead of Ovechkin’s P.R. Staff written letter.

He spent more time justifying it and lying he didn’t know Seabs didn’t play the puck, he didn’t hit him in the head….OH MAN…..that was no apology or close to it.
Interesting he said he tried to reach out to Seabs….via text. Pretty strong effort there, eh? Hey Douchbag……..whadda think? Seabs didn’t respond because he’s in LALA land and can’t right now….or because he doesn’t want fucks like you to ever call him a friend again. With ass wipes like you for friends…….

I actually think:
(a ) Wanker was not being sarcastic
(b ) Kaner’s R had a little “reply fail” problem and was flummoxed by Wanker’s comment, given the strong “Rosendouche” contingent around here,
(c ) Kaner’s R then was just rying to needle you or he genuinely thought you were a bit slow on the sarcasm uptake.
You, you’re a hip funny guy, as comments on this thread alone testify (note- sarcastic content intentinonally ambiguous.)

maybe it's just me...
…but last night felt like a burst bubble. Six weeks ago, I EXPECTED the Hawks to win the Stanley Cup, an outrageous thing to say about any team during the season, but that’s how amazing they were.
Of late, the team has played very tight. Two years ago, March and April were a fucking blast for fans, players, everyone.
I wonder if the crazy expectations have weighed on the players like they have on the fans.
Anyway, I no longer expect the Hawks to win the Cup, althought they are still on a short list of favorites obviously.
And suddenly, I feel a lot lighter. Que sera sera.
Rising to the bait of thuggery is not the answer. Putting aside crazy expectations and finding the spirit of two years ago is. You know, lose yourself in the moment, not 1961.
Unrelated:
1st or 2nd seed are not as important as establishing some kind of rhythm the last few games of the regular season. It’s be nice to get home ice against Vancouver, and the Hawks still should, but not at the expense of overworking players (#2) to get it. No “must” games on the horizon.
A bit of perspective: this is what it takes for the Hawks to lose three in a row against pretty good teams- injuries, bum officiating, ridiculous late goals, and the Hawks were still this close to picking up 5-6 points.
Also, I’m not a Sox fan, but sometimes it helps to stare into the abyss, right boys?
white sox would be a rough parallel
we’re trained to expect the worst but hope for the best. i’d like the think the hawks are better than that

Since Q loves his match-ups so much, let’s see if we can take advantage of the Johnson-Jones pairing tonight.
hey gmh
there’s a few of us sick bastards wanting to hear the full story about your encounter with Mr. Poopy Pants on the train last night. Do tell.
there really is no full story
he was senile, which maybe explains how he left home without a diaper on, and once he realized what he did, he scampered off at the next stop, leaving his stank behind. it was pretty gross.
Bummer…the fact that it was a senile guy that didn’t know what he was doing makes it not so funny. God, I don’t want to get old.
yeah, mostly I just felt sad for him
after the initial wave of “WHAT THE FUCK.” There were a lot of drunk rowdies on the CTA last night because of St. Patrick’s day, so they could have literally scared him shitless.
This happened to my grandpa
while he was out with my sister. It was horrible and embarassing for both of them. Needless to say, neither of us ever took him out again without a diaper. It eventually became a running joke, but I refuse to get old. The human body can really screw a person over.

I'm sure Q, Toews, Huet, Niemi and the rest just love Murray now!
The NHL will never beable to solve this problem with hits to the head, and other dangerous hits if the teams continue to 1.) Justify it as retaliation for a previous hit (my mom taught me at three two wrongs don’t make a right) 2.) Call the other team or player hurt a whiner 3.) ALLOW their players to do this 4.) Condone it in the Media.
The only way to get rid of this problem is to tackle it head on, and call a spade a spade. If a team does not want to come out and condem their own player, fine. But to condone these hits in any manner is wrong, it would be better for helping rid the game of these hits for the team to say nothing in public, or acknowledge it was a bad hit, or simply make a statement on the result but not try to justify it.
I would expect the HAwks to do so, and I would call them out if they did not. Sportsmanship and not literally trying to kill/hurt people is more important.
