Could You Stand Right There And Look Me Straight In The Eye And Say It's Over Now?: Hawks at Preds Game 6 Preview/Pregame Thread/Environmental Protest

Chicago Blackhawks at Nashville Predators, Apr 26, 2010 8:00 PM CDT


Images_medium  vs. Predators1

GAMETIME: 8pm
TV/RADIO: CSN, VS. (JIP), WIND-RADIO 560 (I'm assuming)
Voice Of Those About To Die: On The Forecheck

I'm apparently the hot hand for the previews, and I'm not going to chance it any further by using an Alice In Chains quote from the self-titled album again, too.  Tonight the Hawks have the chance to put the Preds to the sword, and in their brief playoff history the Hawks are 2-0 when they have that chance.  Somehow, I doubt that Pekka Rinne will end up in tears, but should the Hawks win they'll get a chance to make that happen again.  But we'll run that kitten over when we get to it. 

After I calmed down from Saturday's win (so about 10 minutes ago), I have wondered how in the hell the Preds can bounce back from a loss like that.  I can't imagine more of a stomach-punch.  I'll never doubt Barry Trotz's ability to get a team ready for any game, and if there's a team that could shake that off it might be Nashville.  That said, if the Hawks jump out early, there's every chance the Preds just figure it's not their time and head off to see some live music down the street. 

But the Preds will also come out firing, one would think, it one last stab of desperation.  We've seen that overwhelm the Hawks before, and that can't happen tonight.  A loss in Game 6 would render Game 5's magic pretty meaningless.  What the Hawks must also remember is that for 38 minutes on saturday they pretty much bent the Preds over a desk and had their way with them like all of our student-hot spanish teacher fantasies.  If the Hawks bring the intensity and desperation we saw in those 38 minutes, and the final 5, the Hawks will see this out. 

As you've seen by now, Marian Hossa will not be suspended, and I don't think he should be.  I haven't seen this mentioned too much, but the key difference between Hossa's hit and Ovechkin's is that Campbell was skating parallel to the end boards and required a violent shove to  be driven into them.  Dan Hamhuis was skating straight back toward the boards and the slightest touch, which is all Hossa did, would send him careening into the boards.  It was the last minute, the Hawks were down a goal, and desperate as it gets.  I don't think Hossa was being malicious, just reckless out of being so desperate. 

If this were the Canucks, I would giggle at the thought that they would spend all game trying to get even (cuz they're so dang stupid!), but the Preds are far too disciplined for that.  This doesn't come down to tactics any more.  Each team knows what they're facing.  I wonder how rigid in their system the Preds can be when facing an elimination game, or do some players try and save the season themselves?  I doubt they veer to much from it, so it's down to how bad the Hawks want to end it tonight.

And I think they want it pretty bad.

Let's see how this black hood fits, and axe feels...

Oh what the hell, just to get you more pumped...

What about the puck?

There haven’t been many mentions of the fact that Campbell wasn’t playing the puck when Ovi injured him. Hamhuis was, and to me that’s the most obvious reason for the 5 minute major and no suspension.

Wife, Kid and I hop in the car to go out, we grab the Sunday paper from the driveway. Wife opens up the Sports section and says
Wife: “This guys says Hossa is finally earning his $”
Me: Fucking Rosendouche
Wife: How did you know it was him?
Me: Cause the Hawks are relevant again and he feels the need to write about the despite knowing shit.

I'm not blaming rosendouche per se...

..but it’s hard to do hockey occasionally, and the Hawks fan base is not big enough (compared to other Chicago teams) for a “general” sports writer like rosie to devote sufficient bandwith to it, so the product is meh at best, and sometimes, downright embarrassing.

by K_Dog on Apr 26, 2010 3:26 PM CDT up reply actions   1 recs

there was a history on that play between Sopel and Erat

right as Sopel was skating the puck out of the Hawks’ zone, Sopel obliterated Erat against the side boards. i’m sure Erat was saying something and Sopel was just like, “fuck it, i’ll do it again.” Erat was pissed. as Rinne’s walking into the locker room, you can see him pound the end of his stick down.

there’s also the small matter of Bolland’s high stick on Grebeshkov.

Tremendously tremendous

I didn’t even notice that, and I’ve seen it like a hundred times.

I get that Nashville and Hamhuis has a point, but after a few minutes of listening to the crowd boo Hossa at every turn my basic human decency will go right out the window and I’ll be cheering for the Hossa hat trick. Also, if the linesman’s skate doesn’t get in the way of Bolland’s pass to himself off the boards he’s in all alone and the game is over before Hossa gets out of the box.

by Scott13 on Apr 26, 2010 3:27 PM CDT up reply actions  

Hard to take Hamhuises whining seriously

when he plays on a team that for 60 minutes constantly dives, gropes, holds, gives wedgies, slewfoots, slashes, high sticks, trips, interferes, picks, grabs, clutches, holds sticks, grabs sticks out of gloved hands, trips and crashes into the other teams Goalie every time down the ice and rarely gets called for anything…

Emrick's call

As my Dad and I were walking out of the United Center, I said to him, “I’m excited to go home and watch the highlights and hear Emrick yell ‘Hossa!!!’ after the game winning goal.” I was obviously disappointed when Emrick thought Kane had scored the goal as opposed to Hossa. Although his call on Kaner’s game tying goal was solid.

Shortly after this discussion, a random dude walked by and was high fiving people and yelling. We decided that a celebratory chest bump was in order…….I caught him flush and he fell backwards and rolled over. Hillarious.

Game 5 was an example of how fragile momentum is in these games. The Preds had no business being in that game late in the 2nd, and the Hawks let them back in. Then, you have the Hawks tying the thing up shorthanded.

I still think the Hawks are being too cute with the puck (especially just inside their zone). If they can be smart tonight in this area, they should have a good result.

Because this has not been talked about enough yet, I just read the ESPN.com article

“It was very similar [to the Ovechkin hit],” Hamhuis said. “There were some minor differences about the play, but in both cases it’s a very dangerous place to be hit. And in both cases me and Brian Campbell weren’t expecting it.”

Campbell wasnt expecting to be hit because because the puck was gone….. Hamhuis was playing a puck behind the net, in a tight playoff game, with a relentless Slovakian right behind him. If he does not expect to be hit in that situation, is he possibly confused about what sport he is being paid to play?

They didn't deserve to win

Niemi played like crap, they had a 1 goal lead with just over a minute to go on a 5 Min major PP… which means they needed to play 5-5 (with no goalie) hockey for one minute to win and they choked. 9 times out of 10 you replay that scenario and the Hawks lose. The Hawks may have gotten 32 shots but the Hawks blew a lead gave up the game and served it on a silver platter for the Preds… Only for the Preds to gift it right back… I don’t feel good about that win.

Bizarre is the only word to describe the ending of Game 5. Shorthanded with 30 seconds left. Miraculously get the puck. Hit the post. Retrieve it again. Toews shot. Rebound. Kane scores. Kill the remaining 3:57 in OT and have Hossa out of the box to win it. Fucking crazy.

But here lies Game 6 against a never-say-die foe that has driven the ‘Hawks nuts all series long so why should tonight be so different. Win and meet the Nookie’s. Lose and it’s more drink until the nervous system is numb Game 7.

Dear Buff please hit the fucking net tonight. Please and a thank-you. Hossa make them hate you even more. Kane just keep going with the flow and make them pay.

A win tonight and a little Tea Party insues and we can celebrate more the Bazaar Game 5.

Sabers score

I’m hoping they pull one out to force a 7th game.

That's all I care about for any other series

go seven baby, and lots of OT.

I guess the good news is

I had a shitty day at work, my heart is already racing, my Hawks sweater is put up, played some MLB on the Xbox.

We tore a big chunk of their spirit, heart, and soul out last game. Lets finish it off on dine it as desert.

Agreed!

Need a couple days to calm my nerves, so lets get it done! Fight every shift and work as hard as you can!

Oh and fuck the mlb games, hasn’t been the same for me at least since mvp 05, but i play nhl 10 till the new one comes.

So what you're saying is

that you want the Hawks to win tonight?

by AZHawksfan on Apr 26, 2010 7:37 PM CDT up reply actions  

When all those happen

The Hawks are 3-0

Let's wrap it up

If they win tonight I think they open Thursday against the Canucks.
My birthday is Friday and I think the Hawks are something like 1-9 when they play on that day.

Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene."

On another note

I think horquist (spelling?) is playing tonight, lets drill him to the damn boards!

by Jrs23 on Apr 26, 2010 7:39 PM CDT reply actions  

He's in warmups

Doesn’t mean he has to play. Could still be a scratch. Depends on how close he is 100% ;)

Well, our moment of truth is almost here. Good luck tonight…

…and by that I mean may your kick to the ’nads be swift and painful.

Seriously, Good Luck

up to the point on doing something foolish, like scoring more goals than us.

I think we can all step back and say its been a helluva series. I’ll never hate Chicago as much as the rest of the division, and this series has been (up to G5) more fun than a hate fest, for me, anyway. Except those douche bags who talk down about Pred fans and our city…

LETS GO HAWKS!!!

ho
ly
fuck.
that is the only way i can describe seeing that game 5, 2 hours later, not knowing a thing as well as how i feel now as the minutes feel like years that count down to this epic moment. I think this quote by John Madden after Game 5 concerning THIS game sums it all up.

…the way I’m looking at it is we have to go in there and win this game. I’m not looking ‘Oh we’ll be back in our building for Game 7’ or anything like that. We got to go in and THIS IS THE GAME WE HAVE TO TAKE.

so, to elaborate -
LETS GO BOYS!! A FULL 60 MINs OF DOMINATION!!!
NOT LET UP, NO EXCUSES!!!
KEEP THE PEDAL ON THE METAL AND DON’T LOOK BACK!!!
YOU GO OUT THERE AND FUCKING TAKE IT!!!
YOU GO OUR THERE AND FUCKING CLOSE!!!

LETS
GO
HAWKS!!!

What was..

that chant the predators fans did after they scored their goal?
