have fun standing outside the UC
if this weather keeps up, dude. I’m not even going to entertain the thought of leaving my couch today. Go Hawks, don’t make me punch a hole in my wall.
I almost did some impromptu dry wall alterations
after period one saturday, lets not do that again

Changes for the Flyers
Bartulis in for Parent and Carcillo is in for JVR.
Lines according to twitter
Carcillo-Richards-Carter
Gagne-Giroux-Asham
Hartnell-Briere-Leino
Powe-Betts-Laperriere
What do you guys think of these changes for the Flyers?
Well Carcillo ensures you’ll have at least two power plays.

Blackhawks or Flyers? Carcillo does draw penalties, but he takes them as well so I don’t know which team you meant that for. Btw, I’m a Flyers guy posting that.
I think we know how Carcillo draws penalties… ;)

Actually
They got a fighting major (you’d never guess it was Laperriere vs. Tootoo), so while they didn’t go shorthanded, they were not penalty-less. I think the last time they went totally penalty-less (other than Saturday night) was 2000.
Sorry to be so anal, but I’m like that.
Aha, you are correct. What I meant was not going shorthanded, obviously.
No worries, I never mind having my facts straightened out.

I agree Carcillo should guarantee us at least one PP. No way he can be that disciplined. He has some pent up aggression I’m sure.

Look for the Hawks
to get into their Game 1 3rd period groove earlier. I also expect the Flyers goalie problem to get even bigger. Just remember the look in Leighton’s eyes during the game, especially during the crowd chants of “Leeeeeiiiiiiiiigggghhhhton, Leeeeeeeiiiiiiiiggggghhhhhhton!!!”
At first
when I heard the crowd singing “Leighton” I thought it was in bad form. He didn’t do anything to us, he wasn’t performing and the Hawks invited him to not be a Blackhawk anymore.
But it did seem to rattle him, so I guess the end justifies the means.
Back then they invited everybody to not be a Blackhawk anymore

I like that we won Game 1 the way we did. It ensures we come out with a truckload more focus. I like the way this team plays when they realize they collectively shit the bed. We put forth the poor effort and now get the benefits of the re-focused effort … without being down a game like we were against Nashville and then Vancouver.
Granted, Philly’s in the same boat. But if we can get our best effort from the Hawks tonight … well, I just like our chances if it’s our best effort vs their best effort.

No. Not even close. To dispel all these abominable rumors, I do not cheer for the following teams under any circumstance whatsoever:
SCUM
Vancouver
San Jose
I also strongly dislike any team that is based out of Canada due to my irrational and unfailing Canadian hate. The Canadian Six could fall off the earth and I wouldn’t blink.
I don’t care for Columbus at all, but they’re kind of sad in a cute way. Like a kitten that just got hit by a truck. Nashville’s 28-2-1 against them in their last 31, so they’re more of that younger brother who keeps coming back to bother you and the result stays the same – wedgie and shoved back under the bed.
Can’t stand Philly or Pittsburgh, New Jersey and Buffalo are boring, so on and so forth. I generally try to avoid the Eastern Conference.
Anyway, Chicago would be my second favorite team were we not in the same division and if Martin Erat didn’t gift you our season. As it stands, I cheer for you under circumstances beyond my control.

Why the SJS hate?
I kind of like them (apart from Heatley). You can’t deny that Marleau is awesome, & you have to admit that their GM has supreme balls making the moves he’s made.
I hate the Sharks for Dany Heatley, who jilted the German national team to play for Canada, killed his buddy, demanded a trade out of Ottawa but wouldn’t accept a trade which was the best deal for his soon-to-be former team, and bitches about not enough power play time.
I hate the Sharks for Ron Wilson, who relentlessly whined and pussied around to the NHL in 2006 for the suspensions of Alex Radulov and Scott Hartnell in the SJS/NSH WC quarterfinals when there was nothing to suspend over (they were suspended; we subsequently lost the series without our two best PP forwards).
I hate the Sharks for eliminating us in two playoff series, even when we had Foppa, Kariya, Arnott, Legwand, Dumont, Sullivan, Erat, Hartnell, Upshall, Timonen, Weber, Suter, and Hamhuis.
Finally, I hate the Sharks because Dan Boyle is lame.

Agreed on Heatley
Didn’t hear about the suspensions in the 2006 WCQF thing, I think back then the only way I followed hockey was through a weekly Channel 5 show which was on at ridiculous o’clock in the morning (I’m in the UK) and there wasn’t enough time on the show to cover everything which had happened in the previous week. That must’ve slipped through the cracks.
Fair reason to hate a team, though, so I apologise for questioning you.
I also forgot about the NSH-SJS playoff “rivalry” or whatever you want to call it. My bad.
Watching the Sharks...
is like going to a restaurant that is supposed to be really good, and you spend $100, and then the next day you can’t remember a single thing about the food because it was so dull.
“Over-promise and under-deliver” is a reason to hate the Sharks.

Assuming you’re referring to Erat, trust me, I get what you’re saying. There’s nothing that can be done about anything, and shitting on Marty is more of a joke than anything. If I want to really assess what happened, we need to talk about the inability to convert on the power play or Trotz playing Spaling instead of Boyd, waiting on Grebeshkov, or Rinne coming out of his net in Game 6.
Don’t misunderstand – I’m pretty well ‘over’ it. We played some damn good hockey for a while, made a few mistakes, but in the end Chicago was the better team and it showed. Like you said: what’s over is over’. Just prepare yourself for next year, bitches.

Big difference
…between the buildup for tonight and the buildup for Saturday’s game. The Flyers are no longer an unknown, so the feeling of “what the hell are we up against?” is gone. Now it’s just a matter of adjusting to what we’ve seen from them and to what they show us as this game progesses. One thing I think Q has done very well this postseason has been making adjustments, and making them in a way that forces the other bench to adjust to him after that. Let’s hope that’s the case tonight.
Two things that would make me (all of us?) very happy – the Hawks with the lead after one period, and Hossa getting a goal. His overall play has been tremendous, but I still think if he can get a goal, any kind of goal – a tap-in, a redirect, a bounce off three skates, whatever – the floodgates are going to open, and some poor goalie in orange and white is going to pay dearly for the drought he’s gone through. Go get ’em, boys!

It really annoyed me coming into the Finals with people calling the Flyers the hottest team in hockey with a 8-1 record in their last 9, when the ’Hawks had the exact same record.
Also, I’m pretty sure we’ve won every game we’ve been in where we’ve scored more than 1 goal.
but but..
the flyers! they’re so amazing! and they have Pronger! and they’re such disciplined players, I mean, they went penalty-less in Game 1! they have a goalie with two messed up knees and another one who used to be a Hawk so obviously he knows how to destroy them, right? and uhm…they wear orange. and oranges are tasty.

"What doesn't kill us makes us stronger."
What I believe is all that I am
The ‘Hawks are so tantalizing close to taking a hard grip lead in this series and with a win tonight that’s what they’ll have. It’s been awhile since the ‘Hawks had a 60-minute "We’re the ‘Hawks are you’re not" game at home – maybe the Vancouver game on March 5th. But let’s change that shall we?
First on the menu would be to score first which is something that hasn’t been done since Game 5 against Nashville. That’s 6 straight games. Fix. This.
Next would be to get a PP. That has been made significantly easier with addition of super-retard Dan Carcillo. Why? I have no idea, unless Laviolette thinks he can regain his scoring touch from the Jersey series and the chances of that happening are remote.
Third would be to leave the first with a lead. Could you imagine what that would be like? Once again hasn’t been seen since Game 5 of the Nashville series. Try this as it works.
What about a lead going into the 3rd?
Hossa needs to continue his annual playoff assault on the Flyers as he now has 24 points in 17 career playoff games. Kane and Toews could also join the party although I’m more sure of the latter than the former. Niemi? Nails at the start. Nails.
Your tune for tonight is Hail the Villian – Take Back the Fear. Enjoy.

I did a horrible job pacing myself. Got used to watching or one two games a night for six weeks and then suddenly five days off with far too much content to read. The waiting around felt like what I imagined Super Bowl must be like for football fans whose teams are in it.
Figured it would get better after Game 1 but maybe it was because the game was weird it feels like the series still hasn’t started. At least the level of discourse on SCH has held up pretty well. Philly sites are filled with posts that say “Let’s Go Flyers” “Hawks Suck” “Go Carcillo.” I understand it’s a holiday weekend but put a little thought into it.

1. Can the Flyers slow the Hawks down?
Yes, but not if they play like they did Saturday.
2. Does Michael Leighton bounce back?
Possible but if the Hawks jump on him again, It’ll take a lot to get his head right back in Philly.
3. How effective is Carcillo in his return?
I predict he’ll get inside Eager’s head and cause a fight. If that’s what you want out of him, then yes.
4. Can the top line (on either team) generate some offense?
Yes, the Toews line will score tonight, as will the Richards line.
5. How long does it take for Chicago to be handed a power play?
Handed is such a biased word, if you mean how long till the refs whistle the Flyers for a penalty, 5 minutes in.
6. The defense is better, right?
Can it get worse?

Cabbie with an another awesome Hawks interview about entourages
Here.
"I was thinking it would be cool to see a game on the road. I have been looking all over this atlas but I don't see Vancouver anywhere. What state is this sh*t in!?"
- Dallas Stars Forum
I think the Key for tonight
Is how does PHI deal with the Hawks at EV? Do they press the Hossa and Versteeg Lines more, and possibly open up Daydream Nation to commencing the rape and pillaging of Leighton/Boucher/and Kitchen Sink? This is the battle PHI lost outright in Game 1.
The Hawks are going to get PP, and even though the Clown Shoes show up, they are still at a nearly 20% clip, and the PK has still been fairly good. I would expect Leighton and Niemi to be stronger as well as both D units.
But similar to the SJS series, the biggest thing the Hawks carried was play at Even Strength. Will they continue this?

I really try to ignore the guy
Doesn’t always work but when I hear his voice my ears kind of shut down, or maybe it’s just what he says is so weird it doesn’t compute.
its not so much Pierre, as that its just Millbury.
McGuire does become a clown more often than not when hes given a mic, but I cannot stand Mike Milbury. I do pity him, only slightly, because you can actually see on his face his disdain for Pierre whenever they interact, BUT Mike Milbury NEVER has given the Hawks the true credit they deserve IMO.

Quick question for clarification...
On the Broad Street Hockey site (up to 50 posts at 6pm) someone boasted that goalies who give up 5 or more goals and lose are 7-0 in Cup Final games. I thought Boucher was the losing goalie since he gave up the game winner to Kopecky, so…That stat is as worthless as the empty beer can sitting here….Time to get some Game 2 smoked babybacks off the smoker after a trip to the cooler…

A little while ago,
On my Yahoo page they already had the final result, but they’ve done that a couple times before that I’ve noticed.
This happened before
I think last series? Or if it was before that, I forget whether we actually won the game or not.
The worst thing about waiting is...
Waiting to get to the actual puck drop and having to listen to the pregame BS, and of course everyone’s favorite shaved head!

the Memorial Day greeting.
On Friday, I asked my high school students what their plans were for the weekend. I got the usual. I made a request that at SOME point, they remember why they were getting today off.
In the ensuing discussion, I found out that one of my students has a borther defusing bombs in Iraq as we speak.
I can never say thank you enough to those who have served and are serving.
Heh.. Some of the younger guys here got their hands on a 1994 NHL yearbook.
They came and asked if the picture of Dirk Graham was me – Since I’m rocking the glorious playoff stache!
