Yo Tip, You Recall When We Used To Rock Those Fly Routines On Your Cousin's Block: Hawks at Isles Preview/Thread/Turnaround Dance

Images_medium  vs. Slicker1ec_medium

GAMETIME: 6pm
TV/RADIO: CSN, WGN RADIO 720
OTHER GUY'S LIGHTHOUSE:  Lighthouse Hockey

Finally, the black and red (or white, black, and red tonight) get back to the ice.  I suppose you couldn't ask for an easier path to get the legs going again than the Islanders and Oilers back-to-back.  For the first couple games here, the Hawks will have to lean on their non-Olympians.  Dave Bolland, Troy Brouwer, Patrick Sharp, Kris Versteeg (assuming he can get the staples that have him pinned to the bench out of his ass), I'm looking at you.  Buff, I've given up on you, and am hoping that you'll be packing your bags tomorrow morning.  I'm tired of looking at your sour puss.  Anyway, Anttii Niemi gets the start tonight, his fifth straight, as Q wants to ride the "hot hand".  How giving up 12 goals to the Stars, Thrash, and Jackets constitutes a hot hand in beyond me.  But the heat is off in my apartment, so I can't fathom warmth of any kind right now  Iron Madden also returns to the lineup.  

I'd sit here and tell you the Islanders aren't very good, but I tried that last March and the Hawks proceeded to play possibly their worst game of the season in a loss at the UC.  The Islanders aren't as bad as they were last year, but that doesn't make them a juggernaut (don't you know who I am?  I'm the...sorry, got off on something else there).  They're in last in their division, and six points out of a playoff spot.  There is some talent here though.  I'm looking forward to seeing how John Tavares and Kyle Okposo play, because they're clearly the lynchpins of the Isle's rebuild.  Matt Moulson has jumped from nowhere to bag 22 goals.  Mark Streit kicked out skulls in last year, and has been off form the Swiss team for almost a week, so he shouldn't be too fatigued.  In the "Oh you don't say, dipshit?" category, Rick Dipietro is hurt and will not play.  Expect Roloson to get the start, and expect a lot of meatballs to call for his acquisition if he plays well at all. 

-Reminder: Our first post-game party at The Bottom Lounge after the game tomorrow.  1375 W. Lake st., upstairs. 

Fire away.

Tribe Called Quest!

Possibly my favorite music reference yet this season.

I’m actually guessing that the Hawks lean less on the non-Olympians than you might think. I prognosticate that Toews and Keith in particular will be on fire tonight, riding the adrenaline and accolades they’ll bring with them from tournament play. I also prognosticate that Huet starts tomorrow at home, and again this weekend against Scum. The easier team of a back-to-back is where you’re supposed to slot in the backup, and that’s what we’ll see Niemi doing here. I’m hoping he’ll return to fortress form and let in less than three this time for a regulation victory, that would be a nice change.

glad to see

Niemi in net again. He fails tonight and it’s back to Huet for sure. Niemi certainly needs to pick up his game and the Hawks need to find a way to trade Huet and Steeg/Buff out of town for Vokoun. Then we’ll hopefully have a real #1.

Notes:
- Niemi has given up 11 in his last 3 (not 12).
- His save percentage in those games has been .866.
- Huet’s save percentage in the month of January was .875 (10 games played).
- Huet’s last game was against the Cayotes – 65 minutes – 1 goal – 21 saves in an SO loss

Speaking of big guys

what is the development track for kyle beach. I’m not too familiar (yet) with the hockey minors, will we see him step into what byuglien’s supposed role currently is next season?

by SLoop on Mar 2, 2010 4:33 PM CST up reply actions  

beach

beach is finishing up his last year of eligibility in juniors (playing for spokane in the whl). whenever spokane’s season ends he’ll probably get an amateur contract to play with the ‘hogs for the playoffs (like last year). after that it’s probably at least starting the year in the ahl. more than likely the whole year there.

by modnar on Mar 2, 2010 4:38 PM CST up reply actions  

I'm looking forward to it because he seems to be lighting up the WHL

by SLoop on Mar 2, 2010 4:41 PM CST up reply actions  

Beach is playing against 15-20 yr olds

in the WHL (albeit minimal 15-16 yr olds), so 1) he better be lighting it up, and 2) he’ll need a yr in RFD to see how he matches up against better competition. I don’t think he’s meant to fill Buff’s supposed role (whatever the fuck that might be – does anyone know?) Hopefully he’s brighter than Buff, but that seems to be the big question from what I’ve read.

buff

i’m not sure how you can say daze was a disappointment. from 1995 – 2002 he averaged 28 goals and 20 assists for a total of 48 points. those were his healthy years playing an average of 74 games per year.

so far buff has played two seasons w/ 36 points and 31 points (thus far this year). and buff has shown flashes of brilliance that frustrate me beyond belief because of how good he could be.

by modnar on Mar 2, 2010 4:36 PM CST up reply actions  

but i think that's the point

you’re not disappointed in guys like eager because he is playing to, pretty much, the top of his potential, that is pretty much as good as it gets with him. (and that’s fine, that’s his role)

Byuglien and Daze, however, you always feel like they are under achieving because you’ve seen what happens when they play well. Both of their roles were to be a dominant big guy. Daze was soft and always injured and byufglien is inconsistent with his effort.

by SLoop on Mar 2, 2010 4:40 PM CST up reply actions  

hey, you got the point!

Daze had a bit more natural talent than Buff, but Buff is playing with a far better team than Daisy did.

So points mean nothing

by Johnny Lava on Mar 2, 2010 5:02 PM CST up reply actions  

Timing

I was more disappointed in Daze because at that time, I was hoping he would become one of the core guys and a leader on the team for years to come.

With Buff, and this current roster, although like you said he does show flashes of brilliance and it pisses me off that he doesn’t play to his potential, however I don’t think its as crucial. Right now we have a shitload of other talented guys, obviously.

In other words, back then we needed a top-performing Daze a lot more than we need a top-performing Buff right now.

by cdz3210 on Mar 2, 2010 5:10 PM CST up reply actions  

IMO, it's not a fair comparision

How can a guy who was picked around 250th in the draft (Buff) who never put up big numbers since he was like 15-16, disappoint? He’s a big body who is average at many facets of the game. Guys his size with no motivation are a dime a dozen. Just overrated…

Daze showed great potential in the minors and put up some really big numbers. He didn’t draft too high (top 100?) because everyone knew he was a wuss for his size. So that was no surprise. He had a few 30+ goal seasons (including his rookie yr – and something Buff may never do) and was constantly battling injury. Can’t really blame him for that.

Rule changes after the olympics...

… desired by Tim Saskatoon

1. No TV timeouts

2. No-touch icing

3. Better shootouts

In the Olympics, after the first three shooters the coach was allowed to use his best guys again.

4. Ten-minute overtime

Would it take that much longer to play an additional five minutes of OT before going to a shootout?

5. Three points wins

My thoughts…
1. Doesn’t everyone wish all tv had no commercials.
2. Ehh… I don’t particularly care. It does simplify the game (it always seems awkward to have the goalies avoid the corners) but it also eliminates the hustle of trying eliminate icing, which can be a momentum changing play.
3. I like the fact that it gives unexpected players a chance to participate. Shoot outs are already dumb enough, do we have to make the even more ridiculous of a way to decide a game.
4. Agree
5. Agree

by SLoop on Mar 2, 2010 4:56 PM CST reply actions  

I like no touch icing - as a safety feature for the D players (so agree there)

As for the no touch icing…im in the air about this one. I like it if there is no Trapozoid (spelling?).

Shootouts should stay the same…
Ten min ot would make for tired players by the end of the season, and leave the ot in the playoffs…

3 point wins, that would be great…w/ the 2 for ot win and 1 for ot loss..

Welp, I got the OK from Thor to do the game beer.

I am currently drinking a Stone Old Guardian. Unfortunately, you Chicagoans can’t get Stone beers, BUT, I have heard that they are going to be available starting April 1st!!

Here’s a review stolen from Beer Advocate, because I’m not creative enough to write my own:

Another winner for Old Guardian. Great copper-brown look with a nice tanned head served about an inch high. Great stick and legs. The nose is strong, even through the foam. Caramelly sweet malt with a ton of citric hops backed up by a wall of alcohol. No surprises, and no punches pulled.
The flavor is in your face, with a huge amount of hops doing battle with fiercely sticky malts. Sweet, with notes of caramel, toffee, slightly roasted barley, toast, and bubblegum. The hops are fruity, especially grapefruit pith, with a hint of pine. Will age like a champion, no doubt. Firm, thick mouthfeel that plays nicely with the high hopping and spot-on carbonation. Superb.

And a picture I took, because I’m creative enough to do that.

At the beginning of the season the excuse was that the season had just started.

As the season continued people found excuse after excuse to cover up Huet or Neimi’s faults (which there have been more of then positives). I think its about time we just admitted the two goalies we have just aren’t all that good.

It seemed that there were a lot of times a puck should of have been put in the net and they just couldn’t finish.
