Baby he's a baller

PrintWrap Around Curl was once again kind enough to write us up something on everyone's favorite hooligan, Kyle Beach. I think we're all pretty excited to see what Beach can bring to the AHL and hopefully eventually, the Hawks. WAC's been following Beach all year and become a fan - now she's written us a post that's full of pretty moving pictures... enjoy - Killion
It is a rather tearful farewell for me. Kyle Beach is gone from the Chiefs. And I really will miss him. To say we got off on a rocky start is an understatement.
I've often compared my feelings towards Mr Beach in terms of movies like 10 Things I Hate About You.
See, Kyle is like Patrick Verona with that reputation floating about. Maybe he went to jail. Maybe he once ate a duck. You never know. He's combative, disruptive and has a fair share of disciplinary run ins.
And then I'm just like Kat Stratford. I drive a terrible car, I start fights about feminism and listen to 90s riot grrl rock. My mouth sometimes can get me into trouble. I have a wild streak of independence about me.
But as time goes on, it turns out the other isn't so bad. Etc etc. An awesome band plays. End scene.
When the Beach move was announced I came more than just a little bit unglued. I perhaps threatened some form of violence. But I did my best to calm down and give Kyle Beach a shot. The home opener perhaps was a bit rough on him. There were a few boos and a "Trade Back Beach" sign. The haters were quickly silenced and gestured to move to the left. Beach showed up to play and quickly displayed his abilities to move the puck sexily and put up points quickly. Soon, the Arena was filled with more and more sweaters bearing his number 21. I myself purchased one. I know I know. It was strange. I was wondering if I was drinking the Kool Aid or needing a drug test.
Beach was a contributing factor to the Chiefs season. He was probably THE factor. I mean, did you see his numbers? Those hat tricks? Perhaps I am now biased but I do think he cleaned up his behavior significantly. I just know I'm sad we only had him for one season. You're getting a player with a fantastic work ethic. He was often seen joking and laughing on the bench. Make no mistake, he still has his chippy side. He endures his fair share of penalties. Or as we started calling them "two minutes for being named Beach" infractions. He is a leader too. Frequently he held the team together and acted as captain when Jared Cowen was a useless meatsack. Beach would direct plays for face offs and displayed tremendous hockey knowledge.
I was hoping Kyle would be around another season. But he's too hot for the WHL. He needs to go off and play with the big boys now.

Thanks WAC for another update on Kyle
Whenever his name comes up, comments at SCH typically follow this pattern:
“I heard that Beach (insert positive comment here), but I also heard (insert negative comment here).”
The standard reply is “Well, Wrap Around Curl said…” because we are otherwise in the dark.
As we all know, success is not guaranteed and many players never survive the transition from WHL, to AHL, to NHL. Personally, I’ve never heard so much doubt over a player who seems to have many of the right tools. Hearing how he won even you over is very encouraging. Don’t be a stranger to us! (but of course, now we’re going to be the ones sending you updates) I am excited to watch him in Rockford.

I think Kyle will pan out. I really think he has the toughness and the size to compete at the NHL level. Whereas I don’t even think Cowen will go very far. Unless he really turns things around.
I think it says a lot about Kyle that he wasn’t suspended this season. He can fight and did but rarely. He didn’t go out of his way to disrupt the momentum of a game to drop mitts.
He quickly found chemistry with the team and earned his keep as it were.

if he can keep that discipline/chemistry up through AHL and into NHL, he ought at least hang on as a 3rd or 4th liner in the big show.

HA!
All great. I knew some SCH commenters would come through!
On another Buff-related note, I read this from Kuc today talking about Keith and Buff together:
“(Byfuglien) keeps it loose,” said Keith, who is second in the NHL in scoring among defensemen with 13 goals and 53 assists, “and he’s helped me kind of straighten my game.”
(in Moe Syzlak form) Whaaaaaaa!?
"What the hell, let's review it." - Dale Tallon
"They are!" - Pat Foley
"What a farce." - Dale Tallon
I took that as Keith saying "I have to cover for all his mistakes
and can’t dare make any myself because Buff can’t cover like Seabs could."
by shinkicker on Apr 6, 2010 12:09 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
I read it like that too!
But I like Jesse Rogers’ quote better:
"[We’re] an odd couple," Byfuglien stated. "He keeps me on the happy side back there."
Could be Buff will continue to surprise on D
The guy has skills and is being paid accordingly. Unfortunately, on wing he hasn’t used those skills consistently. On O, you can get away with being lazy or not being in the right place all the time. On D, not so easy. You HAVE to dig and chase and control the puck or else its very obvious you screwed up. Kinda like in football when a wide receiver doesn’t run a route full speed or cut correctly, most people don’t know. If a cornerback screws up, EVERYONE knows. I think putting Buff on D forces him to use his skills and work hard. Given his size and heavy shot from the point, I’m starting to like him and Keith on D.
Seabs is still prettier than Buff

Going to a WHL game or any junior hockey game is the best. Sometimes I have a better time seeing the kids play than I do watching the pros. They often play with no fear and they act like they will never get hurt. I have had the oppurtunity to see some Portland vs. Seattle matchups and there is nothing better than a junior rivalry.
Victim was found murdered by a Chelsea Dagger.
I adore junior hockey since they play for very little money and aren’t spoiled by huge contracts and media scrutiny.
Portland is a BEAST of a team this year. The size on their roster is incredible and I’m really glad they turned the club around after being in the basement.

He’s sharp as a tack, can contribute to an adult conversation and recite sports stats off the top of his head like an in-home version of Chi, and he’s athletic – but spoiled by his mom and often a drama queen. I fully expect him to be living at home or at least his mother doing his laundry at 30. He hates that joke, so I tell it often in hopes that he’ll want to prove me wrong.

I have not seen
all of “10 Things” but what I have seen, it’s viewable. I have seen all of “The Cutting Edge” more than a few times. If you happened to get bored with the movie, I suggest mocking the crying that will be going on. While quite dangerous, it makes the film more entertaining to watch.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene."
never seen either move
But with dialogue like this (from Cutting Edge):
Anton: Man and woman together make flower. Douglas, you are stem. Katya, you are petal. Together, we make flower.
and this:
Doug: There’s only two things I do really well, sweetheart, and skating’s the other one!
I can’t believe this film didn’t win an Oscar.

Malarchuk was a bit of a headcase goalie
He had fairly heavy OCD issues.
The video on the skate cut was not for the squemish, but certainly tamer than the typical run of R-rated scary movies.
Confusion will be my epitaph.
The difference for me
is that the clip is real life. When I searched for the video, there is a clip of a news report of when he accidentally shot himself in the chin with his rifle. If chicks dig scars this guy must see a lot of action.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene."

Here’s hoping Beach can make an impact and contribute the same way Downie has in Tampa. Or maybe, if we’re lucky, a carbon-copy of Hartnell or Perry?
I love playeers like Burrows, Clarkson, Carcillo, Avery, Ott and Clowe. I hate when we play them, but they’re what I love about hockey. Shit disturbers who get you off your game then turn around and score one of their own. We need one of them. Let it be Beach.
Yeah
In the past I’ve mentioned Perry as a type of player that Beach can shoot for. A big, skillful winger that’s annoying as fuck, can protect Toews and Kaner, and has the ability to put up 70 points a years. I’ve also read articles that compare Beach to Al Secord. But being in my mid-late twenties, I never really got to see Secord play, so don’t know if that’s a good comparison.
by EamusCatuli23 on Apr 6, 2010 11:53 AM CDT up reply actions
If he is a decent fraction of a Secord, then we will all be ecstatic.
Al was big, strong and decently mobile – tough very far from goon territory. Think Ladd, if you added very good shot and offensive instincts.
Beach is likely destined to be more goonlike – somewhere between Ladd (maybe with a bit more offense) and Eager (also with a bit more offense). But Beach does have some potential to be more – perhaps more of a Brouwer sort.
Confusion will be my epitaph.
I thought about Brouwer too
except with Avery/Downie like qualities of course. Reading about Secord, though he wasn’t strictly a goon, I’m assuming he fought a lot. An interesting note on Secord I found on wiki- He’s the only player in NHL history to score 40 goals and amass 300 penalty minutes in a season.
by EamusCatuli23 on Apr 6, 2010 1:00 PM CDT up reply actions
Secord was far from a goon
He was very tough, but not a goon.
Best analogy to now is that he was tough rather like Ladd is.

they sort of posted it
they had the radio broadcast dubbed over a weird “re-enactment” of the thing.
I say weird re-enactment because they didn’t have footage of it, I don’t think, so instead they have a layout of the ice and little figures that moved awkwardly to show the audience how it happened. It reminded me a lot of NHL 94.

I treated mine badly for years

And did anyone NOT have a flood from our generations?? And yes Badgerdano, we all read about your generation’s flood in the Old Testament, so please spare us the details:

I had a table hockey game from about 1972 with 3-d players. It was a step up from the table hockey where the players were made of flat tin.
With the risk of cutting yourself,
I thought the flat tin players was more realistic to the real game.

THE PARTY LINE! Secord-Savard-Larmer
In 8 seasons with the Hawks, never once did Secord have more assists than goals. Think there’s any coincidence that Savy entered the league in the same year we got Secord from Boston? Larmer came up 2 years later. You just don’t see guys together that long anymore (good thing they didn’t have Q). Still to this day, I can’t believe we didn’t bring home the cup at least once with one of those teams.

Also, we had Doug Wilson during that entire stretch in the 80’s. I guess if Keith can add some goals to his assists, there are a lot of parallels.

Toews between the two of them worked pretty well at the beginning of last season.
I still prefer them on separate lines, but it can and has worked in the past.
Tremendously tremendous
In my imagination
Bolland would set up the play for Kaner to carry it into the offensive zone, so that we don’t have to deal with the knucklebiter that is Versteeg trying to dangle through a defense. The subsequent defensive focus on Kane would spring Versteeg open to receive one of Kaner’s pretty little dish passes (while Bolland heads toward the net to screen and position himself to pick up trash if there’s a rebound). The defense is out of position and tilted towards Kane, Steeger takes the one-timer on the Kane pass, and scores! Perfect.
Not that it would ever actually work this way, but a girl can fantasize.

He would let Tommy Ivan book concerts
so the Hawks would have to play their 1st round of playoff games on the road.
This really happened in 1977 – “General manager Tommy Ivan was so sure the Hawks would win their division and get a first-round bye, he allowed owner Bill Wirtz to book rock group Led Zeppelin into Chicago Stadium for the first few nights of the playoffs. When the team swooned, they had to play their entire playoff series against the New York Islanders on Long Island. The Islanders swept …”
I must admit, this did not bother me, I went to the first two Zep shows and am forever in Wirtz’s debt for this bone headed move.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene."
It's scary to really think about that.
We’d still have Toews and Kane, but would we have Hossa? Or Campbell? Still no home games on tv, I’m sure. No convention, no heritage nights, no Hull signings for CNS to fanpost about, no goalie debates. Ok, this is depressing.
Who would be the coach?
Would Daydream Nation have gotten contract extensions? It’s a horrible nightmare that we fortunately don’t have to live through.

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."

Gosh, I need a life outside hockey or something. Maybe.

I'm up for making a couple
I have Windows Movie Maker. I never tried messing with video until the last couple of weeks, so I’m learning, but I’m normally pretty good with design technology so the learning curve has been short so far. The painful part of the process for me is finding the tools needed: sound bytes, the actual video, format converters, adding text to video, etc. Any suggestions?

Messed around with Movie Maker once
hated it, but it can probably do the job. I’ll need to figure out if my video editor can do the rewind effect but I remember Movie Maker has a sepia effect that you can use, and it’s also fairly easy to add text to it when you play around a bit. Movie Maker should also be able to export or save-as whatever format you like.
I’d suggest you try and get the sound and video online—this is what I plan to do with mine. Google “downloading youtube videos” and “free recording software” to pull the emotive soundtrack from the videos. I use Audacity for it, but when I get home I’ll see what I can do and just send the mp3 file your way.

Awesome, thanks!
I was able to convert YouTube video to an acceptable Movie Maker format for the project I’m working on (Huet in scene from Rain Man) but it took me three steps (FLV to AVI to WMA). Still haven’t tried researching the rewind effect either or adding outside audio overlays. Trial and error, trial and error. My email is listed if you do get hold of the mp3. I may email you a coupe of questions if you don’t mind?

no worries
I’m heading home, and I haven’t touched Movie Maker in a while so my memory of it might be a bit spotty, but I’ll do my best.

What if
they shot the puck?
the power play wasn’t clown shoes?

Just show of video of the Hawks on the 5 on 3
controlling the puck along the perimeter and passing up shots?? Too perfect!

I just read a stat
that since Campbell’s injury, the Hawks’ power play is 6.5%.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene."
I think Buff scored one
but I’m way too lazy to check.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene."
checking that for you
including the Caps game:
We got 3 PPG out of 34 PP opportunities = 8.82%
AFTER the Caps game:
2 PPG out of 31 PP Opps = 6.45%
I don’t know how directly his loss affected the power play, though— he only has 11 power play points. We’ve not been as anemic, though, so there could be something to it.

I think Campbell's best contribution
is the quick movement of the puck which in turn leads to the defense being caught out of position leaving more quality chances.
And thanks for the stats

yeah, it's probably an intangible
siiiiigh. I miss the guy.

Campbell was removed from #1 PP...
…sometime before his injury. I wonder if that is the more relevant turning point.
sorry no button for that
I went to a fight the other night and a hockey game broke out.

I can see Kyle Beach opening up
this page and being excited about 160 comments in a post about him. I’d love to see the look on his face when he realizes there are more comments about figure skating movies than him.

LOL
Doesn’t CHI or someone have the stats on the percentage of hockey related comments vs. non-hockey related?
very nice cdz
yeah, I suggested that we start keeping stats. It would be the SCH non-weight loss version of “The Biggest Loser”

the Patrick Kane Blingee Expo
was the greatest—I linked to it here a while ago but I don’t think anyone noticed or cared. And now that 3 Favorite Things blog (a big inspiration to me starting one) vanished, it was private the last time I checked. Sad…

too funny!
I think this site is so much fun on off days
I'm not anti-social; I'm just not user friendly
Er, back to the Beach discussion...
…cause I just now noticed this post and read everything in 5 minutes—thanks for the updates, Wrap. I was bummed thinking I’d have to go to the Pacific NW to see him play (I like it there, it’s just kinda far). Then…oh, right, he’s too old for junior hockey and is coming back to Rockford! (missed him the first time) Now I’m bummed I won’t ever see him in junior hockey…
I went to the Rockford game Saturday night (with chevrier30) in large part because it was his first game back (and free towels, but we didn’t get there in time). If it hadn’t been such a depressing game (shut out 4-0 in their last home game) I’d have put up a fanpost. Chevrier30 beat me to a post about the Blackhawks night…I don’t know, could still put it up. I certainly got a lot of warmup photos. Rockford might play Chicago Wolves in the playoffs, so I’m hoping for a game here.

I think they way his birthday falls he could have done one more season in Spokane. But he had a fantastic season and its time for him to move out.

Do a Fanpost!
My camera was acting funky so I’m sure your pictures are better than mine.
Sad the most exciting thing to happen in that game was looking through that old Scouting Report book aka “League of a 1000 Mullets.”
"FACEOFF!" "Makes the pass." "FIGHT!" - 8 bit hockey
I'll try
Oh man, now I’m thinking of that sullen Beach headshot and a scouting report page on him. Must try not to picture Beach with circa-89 hockey hair/mustache now…shudder.
a little chippy: a blog, mostly hockey
If I had the time
that would be a glorious photoshop. The question is, would he be wearing a suit?
"FACEOFF!" "Makes the pass." "FIGHT!" - 8 bit hockey
the suit should be one of those horid plaid bell bottom things
and don’t forget the mutton chop side burns
Confusion will be my epitaph.
"Frequently he held the team together and acted as captain when Jared Cowen was a useless meatsack"
Oh, how the people in Ottawa know this all too well.
I’ve heard a lot of good reviews for Beach this season from Snake over at the S7, who has been to a couple of Spokane Cheifs games as well. It’s nice to see some of the ’Hawks other first round picks blossoming as this summer will bring a few changes.
Who goes is anybody’s guess, but it’s great to see that there are some young guns waiting to come up the pipeline to fill the void.
"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.
I think Jared Cowen will be a huge draft bust. He has a LOT of work ahead of him to turn it all around.
