Cannon Fire Explodes Out Over The Bay - Stray Game 2 Thoughts

Since Sam was getting his face melted at Them Crooked Vultures last night and missed the first period, it's now my responsibility to be your sherpa through the day-after thoughts.
- Pierre Lebrun thinks Marian Hossa is underachieving. Pierre Lebrun clearly did not see last night's "I'm Marian Hossa And You're Not" moment where he promptly relieved Niclas Wallin of the puck and fed Hammer for a shot that Troy Brouwer would deflect in. No, the goals aren't there (yet), but the guy has been playing with ferocity over all 200 feet of the ice, and is noticeable on nearly every shift. Can the same be said of this year's goal scoring dynamos Mike Cammalleri and Danny Briere when they're not scoring?
- Steve Rosenbloom astutely noticed that last night's first goal was caused, for both good and bad reasons by Kris Versteeg. I told Killion as soon as the goal was scored that that goal was VERSTEEG!'s. While he did get too cute at the blue line, he busted his ass to recover from it to prevent a chance the other way, which eventually ended up with Ladd scoring. VERSTEEG!'s (he gets his exclamation point back) decision making has been pounded harder than Hannah Hilton during a personal training session, but when he's kept it simple as he has most of this playoff year, he's been skating his ass off and playing much larger than his stature, which as a result has led to a multitude of scoring opportunities.
- Credit where it's due - Patrick Marleau's first goal last night on the power play was pretty fucking gorgeous. Niemi even got there in time, but Marleau's fade away wrister was just too perfectly placed.
- The Sharks will continue to have the pace dictated too them for as long as they continue to employ that passive of a forecheck without trapping outright- not that I'm complaining, mind you. Hawk defensemen were allowed all the time and space they needed to survey the ice while taking a stride or two and then make a crisp pass. Some of those were even home run attempts, as what happened on Sharp's bid in the first.
- As was the case in game 1, Duncan Keith is showing why he's a Norris Trophy finalist. In just over 30 minutes of ice time, Keith had two assists, and was everywhere in the defensive zone closing in on loose pucks and transitioning the Hawks offense with the aforementioned time and space he was given.
- Of the four teams that had previously won 7 in a row on the road, all but one have gone on to hoist the chalice. Just sayin'.
- As the series now shifts to the UC for the weekend, the odds of advancing are now greatly in the Hawks favor. But, we've seen this team get the yips on home ice for whatever reason earlier in this post season, and the Sharks in theory should come out flying at full throttle on Friday night. But if they employ the same tactics of playing the game that is in front of them as they have on the road, rather than trying to force THEIR game upon the opponent when it isn't there, this weekend could be a pleasant one. Also, the forecast calls for 87 on Sunday, so the ice will likely be even shittier than it usually is, so that's something to be mindful of.

forechecking, or lack thereof
I’ve been SHOCKED at the Sharks’ refusal to forecheck aggressively. Isn’t that what everyone (our people, their people, neutral people) were saying they had to do against us? Isn’t that what they supposedly do really well?
but yeah, not that i’m complaining.
I’ve never thought SJS forechecks particularly well. I attended a game against them this year and Suter and Hamhuis absolutely carved up what forecheck there was.

I can’t say i’ve never really noticed their forecheck, but as for you, you’re used to seeing that all the time, so I can see why you wouldn’t think it was that great. But i heard a lot of people saying they’d been forechecking very well these playoffs…and i had to take their word for it since i wasn’t able to watch any games other than Hawks games prior to this round. But watching last night, i thought their forecheck was pretty nonexistent.
by puppetmasterp on May 19, 2010 3:01 PM CDT up reply actions
The game I attended we beat the Sharks like a rented mule for about 50 minutes. They couldn’t do anything, and weren’t trying. It was a lot easier for me to tell how bad their forecheck was in person, is the only reason I bring this particular game up.
Thinking back to the other Sharks games this year I don’t recall our defense having any trouble getting out of the zone. Chicago’s is nearly as good so y’all should be set.

Weber/Suter is an outstanding D pairing
But with all due respect, there’s no way in hell I am putting them above Keith/Seabrook. Weber’s incredibly physical and has the hammerest of hammer shots, but Keith is as good as it gets for a defenseman. He’s not very physical, but neither is/was Lidstrom, and I can’t imagine anyone marking down No.5 because he doesn’t deliver the big hit. And yes, I know Weber played really against the Hawks, but his +/- doesn’t look nearly as good if Pekka Rinne isn’t turning the crease into the Bermuda Triangle during that entire series. Your D was amazing during that series, but I still have you as the No.2 D pairing in hockey (while intending no disrespect).
Doughty may be better quarterback on the power play, and Green may be more of an offensive machine, but Keith IMO is the most complete two-way D man in hockey right now. Anyone who doubts that should ask the Sedin line, who did just about everything human possible to get away from Duncs during the semifinals.
I hope you don’t take any of this the wrong way. I have tremendous respect for the Preds.

No offense at all, we’re all entitled to our own opinions and there’s inherent bias, which is totally fine.
I agree that Keith is the most complete defenseman in the league, much like Lidstrom, in fact. I’d still take my guys first, but its really a matter of familiarity and preference. You can’t go wrong with either, though I’d fight about Suter being better than Seabrook.

His best line:
That defensive responsibility was not prevalent on San Jose’s end of the ice however, as Niclas Wallin committed an egregious turnover behind the net when the defensively underrated Marian Hossa picked his pocket. Hossa sent the puck up to Hjalmarrson, who hjalammered* the puck into the Sharks net.
*I’m deeply sorry for that.
In the spirit of "Luongo just gave up another rebound"

Hossa
late in the first Pavelski took a centering pass in the high slot and went to fire as fast as possible and Hossa just ended him onto his ass and took it the other way for transition offense. Nothing for the scoresheet, except maybe a hit, but still one of the best plays you’ll see.

my stray thoughts
Seeing Hammer on the front page of the Trib was fucking sweet, almost as cool as this chick I saw in a jersey #4 once.
I fear Toews has bigger things ahead. Im afraid hell probably retire after the finals for his next calling. I hope his dad didnt build him a the MIddle East in his backyard too.
I regret thinking speaking and writing bad about Bolland. He still shouldnt have ever been centering for Hossa though.
Today I wondered if I was racist for years ago calling Claude lemieux “money in the playoffs” while now I say Buff is “lazy all year.” Probably does.

Thornton's slash on Bolland
Is it just me or should that slash by “Dumbo” Joe on Dave Bolland be reviewed by the league? Was that not an “attempt to injure”? Sure looked like it to me.
Now I know it’s an “unwritten rule” to have star players suspended by the league during the playoffs but why should that slash go unpunished? Fine maybe, I’d be O.K. with that, but something needs to be sent to Thornton. Injuries happen during the NHL’s postseason but what if Bolland breaks his hand there? Does Thornton get anything? What’s to stop him from doing it again?
In my opinion there was a line crossed when Thornton did that and he should be punished as it was far more vicious than Bolland’s slash on Daniel Sedin in Game 5 of the Vancouver series that everyone made a fuss over. A fine at least should come his way. What are everyone else’s thoughts?

Was that not an "attempt to injure"?
The only part of the rules that deals with “intent to injure” is a match penalty. A ref will give any possible “benefit of the doubt” to NOT call a match. You pretty much have to bring a gun out there to get a match.
What really bugs me about the NHL rulebook is for rules that give an automatic game misconduct for a major (e.g. like slashing or checks from behind). Refs seem even more reluctant to make a major call on any major that results in an automatic GM.
So to get a major call on that play it would probably require Bolland’s arm to literally fall off…
Interesting point about majors
Aside from offsetting five-for-fighting majors, there doesn’t seem to be as many majors called as in the past. Or maybe there’s just less fighting, but it seems a lot rarer nowadays for a team to go on a 5 min PP.

I'm dubious
Sure, Joe was going for the wrist – but he’d give the whole “he just jumped the gun on the draw (like all centers to here & there) and Bolland has a short cuff/no forearm protection” line of defense ….
Confusion will be my epitaph.
I didn't know they dropped pucks on people's wrists.
Here I was thinking they dropped it on the ice this whole time.
one time honored faceoff strategy is knocking the other guy's stick before going for the puck yourself
… and Joe "is just sooooooo tall, and he was tired from all that ice time and “accidentally” swung a little high on the shorter opposing center and he had missed his regular naptime and the planets were poorly aligned and the baht lost value against the yen on the currency exchanges …"
It’s the NHL, that one just isn’t going anywhere

That was the 2nd time
remember earlier in the game he slashed Bolland’s wrist, knocked the glove off, hooked him with his stick, then pulled Bolland down with the stick in Bolland’s arm pit….while the ref watched. No harm no foul? Yeah, Bolland trapped the stick there, but the original slash was obvious. 2nd time was 2 minutes. Next time hoping for the 5 and game.
ah, hope springs eternal ...
but I am not holding my breath to see 5 given on that

some Nova Scotians bought me a Alexander Keith's once
that wasn’t bad and you might be able to get it in the states. of course, that’s the beer Sid the Kid would drink if he didn’t prefer appletinis. moosehead is another one of the better mass-market beers. that’s what the guys at the office usually ordered when we went out on fridays. or in the middle of the week. god, that was a work-place.
obviously, Unibroue’s beers are fairly infamous and widely available. i’m not a big fan of high ABV, but if you like belgian ales, any of theirs are worth checking out. of theirs, Fin du Monde is my choice, but since i don’t like their beers, that’s more because i think it’s an awesome name. my personal favorite from my time up there was McAuslan breweries brand called St. Ambroise. those are probably the best beers widely available on tap throughout Montreal. their oatmeal stout is excellent and i know you can get it in New York and New England. beyond that, the good stuff was pretty much all local microbrews that probably don’t even export outside of the province.
some of my friends swear that Toronto has good beer, too, but i was only there on a 72-hour work trip and a one-hour train lay-over, so i can’t speak to that. i’m hoping to go back up in july, though. hopefully i’ll have more to report by august.

Beer is one of the most nauseating beverages there is. It makes you fat. It makes you itch. It makes you fart. It makes you pee. And it makes your breath smell.

I posed the question to you all regarding the Molson Labatts thing for, well, I don’t know why. Maybe because Big C says I can’t drink during games anymore so now I drink when the Hawks are not on. They weren’t on last night.
So the debate really is Lager vs Pilsener. I don’t know what the actual difference is outside of the taste, BUT I’ll bet one of you beer dweebs will tell us all about it.

So I couldn't wait
Pilsener is a form of Lager known as Pale Lager.
So, you see this day is not a complete loss for me.
Chewing gum?

not as thorough as i'd like
if you know what i mean (there’s a world of malted barley beer out there, and only so much liver function)
(170 g) * (3x10^8 m/s)^2 = 1.5x10^16 J
i admit i'm a beer snob
and i really did appreciate the post. i didn’t take near enough advantage of trying quebecois beer when i was living in new england. thanks.

Eager
Couldn’t miss him when he was out there. Great energy just when it was needed. Only 6:16 ice time but hitting everything in site.
From near disaster to 1-0, Hawks. That’s your Kris Versteeg Experience.
Duncan Keith & Brent Seabrook: A Hotter Larry Robinson & Serge Savard or Wayne & Shuster?
Both. But a mucho caliente version of both power duos, beeotches.
I’m telling you I cannot hardly stand it. I’ve seen them before, but they actually outdid themselves in Game 2. If that’s even possible. Dunkin’ Donuts doing his thing for like 3 hours or whatever. And Seabrook getting himself ejected with 60 secs left. It’s epic, nipple-hardening history for the hockey anals. Ooops – I meant annals. Same thing?
I was there in the flesh for Game 2. Sat a few rows up from Niemi so got a great view of the D, hence… :) Such fun flipping off the be-tealed, floppy-fupa’d throngs. Game 5 will be even funner, if it even happens. Wearing the lucky (stinky) stockings that are currently 4-0! Plan to send them to Burish when the Cup is won! (har) SF is a great place to live, but not so much fun for hockey. PreDICKtably, swarms of Sharks fans started leaving roundabout the 5 minute mark of period three. My cousins were in the waterskiiiiii’ing show at the Dells back in the day, but it’s not like I took off on them before they finished their tricks. No sleep ’til Stanley, dammit. ;)
Um,
okay, I admit it. I got nothing…

You are correct, sir!
He got the panties AND the cummerbund via FedEx a few weeks ago. Waiting on the stockings for the perfect trifecta. Don’t want to jinx anything just yet. :)
The question is maturity
This young team did not bring the needed focus to game 1 v. Preds or Nucks. They fixed that this series.
The lack of urgency resurfaced in Game 3 against the Preds and game 5 against the Nucks. It’s hard sometimes to match the intensity of a desperate team, but that’s what champions do.
Lotta comparisons with Scum, but they are premature. The great Detroit teams, IMO, would have closed out the Nucks in Game 5.
The Sharks have played two pretty damn good games- they could be up 2-0 (arguably, against most teams they would be.)
Can the Hawks summon the urgency and match SJ’s desperate intensity Friday night? I really think it’s a question of maturity. The end is near boys. Zero let up. Easier said than done.
Gentlemen! I have invented...this thing!
ditto for CNS

IF (and it's a big "if") the team has rounded the 'emotional maturity to excel' bend in these last 3, I'll be more likely to survive the playoffs
Games 3 and 4 will tell us, two full 60 minute high level performances would tell us that there is a likelihood that they have
going back to the intersperced 20 minute vacations would tell us we just happened to reel off 3 good games in a row.
Confusion will be my epitaph.
I'm expecting/prepared for a split at home
Cliff pretty well summarized my typical rant. This team can seemingly beat anyone, anytime, by pure will – when they WANT TO. I expect they’ll take their foot off the pedal during one of these home games and if the Sharks haven’t packed it in already, it could go badly. I’m not fretting, but nor am I feeling overconfident. Just a peaceful easy feeling. Still sticking to my Hawks in 5.

We could still very easily play quite well and split Games 3 & 4
The Sharks are a very good team – we have to respect that

true
suppose both team bring their A game though? Coin toss?

Thought this picture was funny

Versteeg?
Say it ain’t so Joe (pavalsteeg)
Chewing gum?

Hey, if Pavelsteeg is gonna score,
it might as well be for the Hawks.

In this post alone we have sharp and brouwer (hossa offscreen), hossa and kopecky and a Keith, Seabs, Verbeauty love triangle.
