Series Preview - Nashville's Top Two Lines

In our continuing efforts to unearth absolutely any information we possibly can regarding the Hawks' first round opponent Predators, we'll now take a look at the Preds' top two lines of a corps of forwards that averaged 2.65 goals per game (they allowed 2.70 goals per game) on 30.6 shots per game, again, both rank in the middle of the pack. Breakdown after the jump.

Nashville's top line boasts two of the more pesky Hawks killers in recent memory in Jason Arnott and Martin Erat, with rookie Colin Wilson along for the ride. While Arnott is in the downside of what's been a very good career, he can still produce, though not ideally cast as a top centerman. He still utilizes his size excellently down low in the offensive zone, is difficult to knock off the puck, is an adequate playmaker and goal scorer, though his proficiency at the dot as slipped a bit to sub-50%. He's flanked by Martin Erat, who Hawks fans all know scores goals against our Men of Four Feathers that are about as pleasant to watch as smashing your nuts with a ball-peen hammer. Colin Wilson has shown a fair amount of upside in his 35 games here in the show, and this will be his first post season. Arnott was once a top center on a Cup winner with New Jersey, and scored a cup-clinching goal with them in 2000, and currently sits on 64 points in 100 playoff games. Erat, on the other hand, has all of a whopping two goals in 20 playoff games, which suggests that when the intensity and physicality gets cranked up, he can be knocked off his game. But, none of those games have been against the Hawks, who Erat always seems to kill. Notice the two wingers on this line are carrying minuses, and Arnott is dead even, which suggests that their coverage in their own zone is lacking.

 

Second Line

Steve Sullivan - Marcel Goc - Patric Hornqvist

2009 - Patric Hornqvist 80 30 21 51 18 40 10 0 8 0 275 10.9

 

Nashville's second line boasts their two leading scorers in Sullivan and Hornqvist at 51 points a piece, with Hornqvist being their leading goal scorer with 30. All three skaters are pluses in +/-,  but the line lacks a little bit in size (though any line with Sullivan would on averages alone). It truly has been remarkable what good guy Sullivan has been able to do after missing two calendar years of hockey with a myriad back issues. He's not as shifty as he used to be, but he's still got plenty of finish to him. Hornqvist has been something of a revelation as a late round pick to lead the Preds in goal scoring, and excels at parking his Swedish ass in front of the net. Goc is a decent two-way center and decent at the dot, which is what likely keeps the line on the positive side of the ledger at even strength. It will need to be a priority of the Hawks' defensemen to not allow Hornqvist to set up shop in front of the net, and to cut down on the diminutive Sullivan's time and space.  Where it used to be difficult to impose physicality on Sullivan simply because you had to catch him first, that has become slightly less of an arduous task. And while no one wants liberties to be taken with good-guy Sullivan, there is a job to do, and making him pay a price for going to the harder areas of the ice.

 

We'll be by later tonight or tomorrow to discuss the bottom two lines which contain Mr. Congeniality Jordin Tootoo, and David Legwand, who looks like someone put out a forest fire on his face with a screwdriver.

Not bad scoring lines

How are they on the Back Check? I really do not know this one 100%

If the Hawks could pull of using the 3rd and 4th lines on these guys, that will be huge, though it may be risky. But if needed the Hawks top two lines should match up well against them on both ends, allowing the D to move more into the play in the O-Zone.

I gotta be honest. I have no idea how Marcel Goc has 12 goals. None. He’s been awesome for us, and better than Legwand as a two way center, but I don’t even remember his last goal or his first one.

Good writeup, McClure. nothing to pick on for me this time ;). You’re right about Erat/Arnott/Wilson; they can be exploited in their own zone.

Stats do not always tell the whole of the player

Look at Hammers Numbers, not over impressive, but he does his job well. I’m more curious of their back checking, can they slow down the Hawks in their own zone? Offensively for these guys, I’m okay with vs. our D and Forwards on our back check, clearing Niemi of a mountain in front of him, I’m not overly confident, but controlling the boards, and passing zones, I’m okay with our D on this. Really curious when we gain the zone, can your Forwards do the same?

Sulli was traded for

two second round picks, one in 04 and one in 05.

They turned out to be Ryan Garlock (never made the NHL) and Michael Blunden.. he only played 10 games with the Hawks but was traded to the Blue Jackets and played 40 there this season.

by Matthew Dirt on Apr 15, 2010 9:07 PM CDT up reply actions  

He is a good player....

…does anyone remember the two shorthanded goals he scored (I believe on the same power play) against the Avalanche about 5-6 years ago?

If I remember, he got cut bad by a stick or puck and was bleeding like a stuck pig. He was right by the glass and one of the Avs fans was pointing to him and laughing his ass off at Sullivan. Well, he went off for stitches and came back to score those two quick short handed goals. What made the story so amazing, is he skated by the dude that was laughing at him and pointed at him and laughed. Later in the game, a puck flew into the crowd and it hit that same guy who was laughing at Sullivan right in the face, and he started bleeding like a stuck pig. Guess who skated by to laugh at the guy when that happened?

I think the whole thing is still on youtube.

Honestly, I’d have to say that Hornqvist worries me in this series. He is an absolute pest. That guy causes more trouble in front of the net than anyone. That being said, he’s about the only real worry from Nashville’s offensive side that I have as a Hawks fan. Arnott has been absent all year and Sully (even though I love him) hasn’t been all that impressive either, but he does have his moments. I think my biggest worry is the play of Pekka Rinne, if he is as good as he has been lately this series can be really difficult. I also fear Shea Weber’s slapper. I’m a season ticket holder for the Preds and every time he launched a slapper I’d hold my breath in fear someone would die. He has a propensity to hurt people with his slappers, and we all know that Hammer has no fear jumping in front of a shot; which scares the hell outta me.

I think the Preds can not even be thinking of that

They need to worry about winning only, not ending an 0-10 streak that has nothing to do with this years team. If they skate with that type of chip on their shoulder and press too much, it could go terribly wrong. They do not need to be taking dumb chances with the puck or in their zone, but just play solid Hockey that got them to 100 points.

In no way was Mr. CNS implying that the ruling by the officiating staff was deficient in any way

Habs fans undoubtedly

are now convinced they will hoist the Cup

by meeshak on Apr 15, 2010 11:34 PM CDT up reply actions  

to be fair

the Habs were outplaying/outworking the Caps—there were barely any chances as good as the Canucks have had against the Kings. Granted, I only really watched OT for that game, so I’m not sure how it looked for the first 3 periods.

But when it was suggested to him that Toews v. Kane seems likely to become a sidebar to every future international hockey tournament, he smiled and said: "I'd like us to win something together, too."

The Caps fucked that game up

As you might expect the Caps were meh on defense. The Habs had some pretty good cycles. But the Caps flubbed sooo many odd man rushes it was very surprising

The Habs played a near perfect game

But they still got outshot and the Caps flubbed so many easy odd man rushes. The Caps just need to bury 1 or 2 of them. There’s no way Ovie gets no shots again in a game. But I can see this game go 6 or 7 now with Halak doing a Hiller impersonation

It was sweet watching Mike Green play like shit again. He was a total non-factor.

by alpo on Apr 15, 2010 11:41 PM CDT up reply actions  

you're right about Ovie

but i don’t think the Caps played down. that’s pretty much what Habs-Caps games looked like throughout the season. and they split the season series, with two going to shootouts. the Caps’ weaknesses line up very well with the Habs’ strengths.

I heard Halak kept them in the game in the 1st, but yeah, that’s what I saw too — definitely had a lot of the higher quality chances (except that breakaway that Backstrom was wayyy too late looking to pass on)

So I'm watching the Van/LA game online

And the stream has this IM box thing on the side where fans can just talk or whatever. There’s an LA fan talking about how Fleury was off his game last night and this Pens fan goes “oh, so if a goalie lets in a bunch of goal in one game, he’s off his game?”

Almost fucking signed up just to tell him that yes, that’s EXACTLY what being off your game means.
