Now That The Day Is Done: The Day After

PrintSome reflections on last night with the added time:
-McClure, as he always does, pretty much summed everything up very well in his wrap last night. One thing he did miss however, was that Dave Bolland escaped the Undertaker's clutches (or choke slam?) last night and had his best game of the year by far. I know my brain has bubbled twice when Games 1 and 2 started and Q matched Bolland with the Sedins. But as you'll see last night, most of his night was spent against the Children of The Corn, and he had a Corsi of +7. He was aided by Andrew Ladd also deciding to show up and hit everything in sight, which was usually Roberto Luongo. Obviously, this platform allowed Kris Versteeg to be...well, Versteeg (he's also the celebrity sausage at Hot Doug's today, and Kllion would agree it's fucking delicious). He was maddening at times, exhilarating at times, and clutch overall. While we can expect to see Versteeg in all his moronic glory the rest of the year, considering the space the Canucks are allowing him and the sometimes cluelessness of the Vancouver D, he's going to get away with it at times and may not be done having a big impact in this series. If Bolland can move on from here, the Hawks will once again have four lines to roll and be effective (if Burish and Eager continue to be disciplined pains in the ass), and the Canucks don't.
-It's weird, both team can come out of Game 2 feeling good. The Hawks can look at the 55 minutes they horsedicked the Canucks around the ice and figure if it wasn't for a stellar performance from Sideshow Bob, they would have won going away. The Canucks can feel that if they had just buried some chances, they would be in a commanding position. To boot, they didn't play nearly as well in Game 2, and still almost got away scot-free.
-In a lot of ways, the 1st period was the reverse of Game 1. It was the Canucks who missed chances to get themselves ahead, and the Hawks who could not stay out of the box. The Canucks were quite disciplined last night, though I don't see that continuing.
-All of this leads me to believe we're gonna be here a while, either way.
-While we love to make fun of him and his hair stained with tears, Luongo has been magnificent this series. Can he keep it up all series long? I have no idea. There's no past evidence to suggest he will, I feel as though he'll have one clunker at some point, I just don't know when.
-Maybe I should stop calling him out, but Alex Burrows is still a ghost. Kesler and Raymond are having monster playoffs because they have to drag around this anchor all game. In fact, Kesler ate Captain Marvel for lunch all game last night, and I'm sure this is the matchup that Vigneault will opt for at home. With Buff and Kane as his wingers, this is no longer a hybrid scoring-shutdown line. The Hawks got away with Toews being the lesser player on the ice once, but they shouldn't think they can make it a habit. Perhaps flipping Kane and Hossa wouldn't be the worst idea, but let's see how Game 3 unfolds.
-Brent Seabrook was a grown-ass man last night, and his tour de force finally seemed to calm Keith down, just a bit.
-Looking to tomorrow, the Hawks are going to see a fury coming at them from the first bell. The Canucks got what they came for, and know if they can hold serve they're moving on. I would expect the first 10 minutes to be absolute torture, so the Hawks should be more concerned with just clearing their zone and getting the puck deep forcing the Canucks to go 200 feet until shit simmers down. But somehow I doubt that's how they'll play it. Buckle up.
ANNOUNCEMENT: I can't believe I forgot to mention this when I wrote this post, but Friday for Game 4 we will be having an official Second City/Committed Indian Watch at The Bottom Lounge. Those of you who have been know what a mess these generally are (in a good way), and those of you who haven't been to one are truly missing out. So please join us (1375 W. Lake St.)

I hate to be a broken record
but man we could use johnsson as our 6th d man out there. since we can’t, any thoughts on the D? we bring hendry back and use him in a limited capacity when absolutely necessary and sit brouwer for a game?
Smoked Portuguese Linguica with Saffron Rouille and Queso Iberico
nah, that’s too Spanish for a Dutch boy like Versteeg.
I thought the Bolland line was magnificent last night, from Ladd whipping up tidy little hurricanes in front of Luongo, to Bolland’s assist on the Seabrook goal, to whatever it was that Versteeg had with his Wheaties. They — and the reunited fourth line, which did their part well, I thought, without being too pesky for their own good — will have to keep providing depth if the first line continues to be subdued by Kesler & co.
this is just too easy
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."

Good job on giving Luongo his due
While I love to see him lose, he has been spectacular thus far, and I for one won’t bank on him tapering off. the Hawks have to just keep bringing the heat.
My thoughts on Versteeg last night:
What are you doing trying to go through the whole ‘Nucks team?
Dump. The. Puck. In.
Stop going offsides!
You did it again!?!
Nice shot Versteeg hit Lou right in the fucking chest.
I think you have worse aim than Byfuglien, I really do.
NOOO don’t shoot just try to pass it to Kopecky he’ll score. FML.
Drive the net…..great play…TIE GAME!
Sweet move over the line…
YOU PASSED IT BOLLAND?

But Brouwer was already there! Karma.

To best him to death with a shovel, and the next minute you want to buy him beers and let him fuck your sister
I was the same way, I was pissed when he lost the puck in the slot…. Until he fired that bottle bouncer past Lu

Thank you
I was ready to strangle him the entire game and all I see on here is how wonderful he played. Dump the fucking puck. Stay the fuck onsides. Hesitating before ripping home the game winner does not make the other 13 minutes on ice any cuter. Nor does not getting a shot off 20 seconds earlier from the circle.

Steeg
I thought it was hilarious some of the sports writers talking about how great a game Versteeg had…..I was well on my way to riding his ass out of town…..My dad and I generally agree that guy is a clown but after his goal last night I got a text from my old man reading “thats why that guy plays”…
Compadres! It is imperative that we crush the freedom fighters before the start of the rainy season......And by that I mean it’s time for the worker of the week award!"
Between that
and the game-tying goal in the Devils game I went to… I think he’s earned himself a spot a notch or two above “does more harm than good” on my player scale… I would not mind if he contributes a clutchness factor later on in the series.
There was also a play
where he slid to block a shot that didn’t go well. I’m hesitant to be critical because, as Versteeg! proved on the game winning rush, it’s easy to make a defender look foolish on that play with a little patience, but he looked very foolish.
Steeger is, it appears, immutably Steeger - that's why he's so frustrating
alternating amazing plays – amazingly stupid and amazingly good.
While the goods do seem to (maybe very slightly) outnumber the times we end up fishing it out of our own net – the chaos he introduces is likely why he will go in the Capocalypse salary shedding this summer
Confusion will be my epitaph.
I hope it doesn't happen
He is still young and can be an asset for years to come once he learns to be smarter. But I bought his jersey before the season so it’s inevitable he will be traded! Maybe I can get my 32 sweater changed to Thomas if that happens.
Hi Ogie. Buy you a soda after the game?
He's very skilled
I expect him to mature into a great player, I’m just not sure when that will happen.
of course not
if Versteeg dumped the puck, we’d all realize his secret alt-identity as Pavelski and the Pavelsteeg mystery would be solved.

I don't know what the word is

I would guess no, because if it was going to be a Sunday NBC game, they would’ve scheduled it as such already, since it’s the only game that day.

Speed advantage...
Been reading the Nucks fansite and those guys keep saying they want to take advantage of the Nucks speed advantage from the Hawks.
I think that Chicago was overwhelmed with our team speed
How about "speed". We were simply faster than the Hawks
Never really heard anyone think their team was faster than the Hawks, before. I always thought speed was one of the reasons for the Hawks success. So I guess, here is my question, "is this just fan bravado or are the Cannooks faster?
Their 4th line is faster when they play Hansen, Grabass and Rypien
Maybe that’s the difference – I don’t know. The Hawks didn’t look too slow for 55 minutes of Game 2.

but shouldn’t there be a staffer in charge of this? They travel out of the country pretty regularly so shouldn’t someone be in charge of ensuring the travel goes smoothly? It’s not like they forget the sticks and shin pads so why would they let this happen?
I thought this at first, too
But then I decided it’s not like this is a high school trip to Europe – a bunch of adults should be able to keep track of their passports better than teenagers.
by Katherine215 on May 5, 2010 10:33 AM CDT up reply actions
Definitely.
A passport is a personal document, not unlike a driver’s license, which should not generally be outside of your personal possession. (not that Eager ever passed a driver’s test.) It’s also not like they’ve never gone to Canada before. I guess what surprised me was that it was not only Eager that forgot his passport. On the other hand, a staffer could have reminded everyone by sending a note home pinned to their shirts…
I don't know for sure
but instead of the note w/ pin, I think they might use a fun, colorful sticker with the reminder attached.
the problem is
that Eager likes the taste of paste. So he licked the back of the sticker,it fell off and he forgot his Passport
September 26, 2007 The day a Franchise was reborn.
A player (or anyone who travels for business) ought to have the passport in the 'travel kit'
now if you had a real raw rookie, maybe staff gets some blame, but at this point veteran players ought to have this down to automatic. Even the stooopid ones.
Do we now need a staffer to sit with Eager all day to remind him to continuously breath in and out?
Confusion will be my epitaph.
Even though they have made 5 or 6 trips into
Canada, perhaps these players forgot that a Passport or some sort of travel card became a requirement to enter and leave Canada last summer.
That’s still no excuse but we’re talking about Eager here.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene."
this reminds of those times in kindergarten when the kids who really didn’t know what was going on just got a simple pat on the head…yeah….that’s what Eager gets when this happens.

I am not a big fan of ESPN
However, they did a better job with hockey coverage, didn’t have Pierre McGuire, did have good play by play and color guys, including Barry Melrose whom I like a lot, and didn’t have commercials during feeds that interrupted play. VS sucks.
Melrose has such a soft
spot for the Hawks, which in turn gives me a soft spot for him.
I have one question about Melrose,

Im sure I will get jumped on for this but I want Detroit to win this series! Hear me out!
I am a big believer in going through the team that has been your nemesis. Think of the Bulls finally getting by the Pistons on their way to their titles. Presuming the Hawks can get by Vancouver, and I know that is a big presumption but I believe they will, I want the Hawks to play and beat Detroit on their way to the cup. I think it will be more satisfying and is somewhat a right of passage, for lack of a better phrase.
not going to jump on you...
but I could care less who the Hawks go through to get a Stanley Cup, as long as they get through.

He lost me after this
“The Washington Capitals, who get a lot more use out of their goal horn than most teams, also have a siren go off when they score a goal. And it is the least annoying goal horn in my personal opinion, because it’s often the capper to a mind boggling play by Alex Ovechkin which deserves highlighting.”
I think the Caps “goal siren” is the worst in hockey. If you’re not going to blow a horn, then do nothing. It’s even worse than the cheezy “DOOT DOOT” they play in San Jose after making the goal announcements over the PA.

he actually has a point
My skin is crawling right now. No fun agreeing with DoucheNozzles. Chicago can keep theirs, obviously.
First of all
if you didn’t read this back in 1992 when SI first published it, please set aside 15 minutes today and make a point to do so, but here’s the relevant (but certainly not most entertaining) passage:
As a special treat for opposing teams, the Blackhawks have installed a foghorn under the center-ice scoreboard, with trumpets pointing in four directions. Following Blackhawk goals, the horn blasts a sound like that of the Queen Mary bearing down on a dinghy. The report has more than once brought unsuspecting skaters to their knees. “When they put in the horn, in 1983, you’d see a lot of guys flinch,” says Foley. “I mean, it’s an oceangoing freaking horn from the Wirtzes’ yacht, The Blackhawk. One time we scored, and debris was coming out of the stands and 18,000 people were on this poor goalie, and then the horn went off—and the kid hid in the net.”
Nice one Scott.
Is it just my POS computer at work or do others have a problem when opening links that don’t open in a new window? Clicking on a link, such as Scott created above where the link is not directed to a new window, seems to mark all previously unread posts as read when I return to this site.

You can usually also

They have an uncanny knack for pulling horeshoes out of their collective asses in the first round. Unfortunately for them, they usually get bounced quickly in the 2nd round and after tonight’s loss that looks like it’s about to happen again.

This from TSN
Canucks are going to come out in Game 3 with more of a physical edge even if that means taking more penalties. If the PP can click early there does lie a chance that the ’Hawks could steal one in the Canada Hockey Place Dysfunctional and Bankrupt Automotive Company Place

How much of Johnny's crap Corsi
was because he was playing with Brouwer for a bit, who I almost thought was shaving points yesterday?
Also it was nice to see the Scum lose…can’t blame the refs there, Wingnuts. Your ancient team were the ones who blew a two-goal lead in the third all on their own…
"Your eyes can decieve you. Don't trust them." Obi-Wan Kenobi, the first sabermetrician...
And their own defenseman set up
the Sharks breakout for the OT winner with a shot that he apparently launched with a 4-iron it seemed.
Christ that was a great highlight!

Looks like it
According to this excellent Copper & Blue post (I wonder if they have a script to generate this), you can see that he was -1 on “scoring chances” playing with Brouwer, and a +1 on them otherwise (of which -1 is from the 5-on-3).
(Oops, just realized — I was going to use this to talk about Corsi, but after realizing that their “scoring chances” are not the same as those used for Corsi, I guess I would have to go calculate Mutual Corsi to figure this out.)
Brouwer.
I mean wtf happened to this guy? Watched re-run of game 2 and looked for each of brouwers shifts and holy shit did he look fucking lost. If thats the way he’s going to play then he simply cannot play.
Maybe being in his home town will get him up for the game and I hope it does because when he was good this regular season he was a monster. I mean, at least kim johnnson has died and we all know that. Brouwer appears to be alive at times, just all the sudden god awful at hockey.

I dunno if this has been brought up on SCH before...
but I think Seabs has a striking resemblance to a young Dolph Lundgren. I know McClure brought up the Mike Patton resemblance in the last post, but I feel the Lundgren one opens up more opportunities.
And in “honor” of Biscuit’s great game, I propose that some of the more proficient photo-shoppers amongst us….have at it.
…or not…I’m just not very good at photo-shopping pics and I really wanna see some Lundgren/Seabrook pics.
R.I.P. Kim Johnsson (03/16/1976 - 03/14/2010)
I don’t know about the Lundgren/Seabrook similarity, because I forget what Lundgren looks like. So, I’d be interested in seeing some comparisons.
BUT, I thought the Seabrook/Eddie Munster similarity (shown in CNS’s fanpost) was hilarious.
CNS, did you come up with that similarity yourself or did you get the idea somewhere else?
It was on a Chicago Now blog months ago
Possibly No Spain, No Gain? I think they were doing celebrity look a likes, Sharpy got Christian Bale, Seabs got Eddie Munster.

Contending that the GWG by Marleau shouldn’t have counted because the Sharks had 7 men on the ice. Isn’t there a certain amount of leeway given on a line change, like 5 feet or something?

Yup
From Rule 74 – Too Many Men on the Ice:
74.1 Too Many Men on the Ice – Players and goalkeepers may be changed at any time during the play from the players’ bench provided that the player or players leaving the ice shall be within five feet (5’) of his players’ bench and out of the play before the change is made.
You could argue that the second guy from the left at the top (out of the two guys leaving the ice) is more than 5 feet from the bench, but, meh.
That's what I thought
He’s definitely more than five feet away, but it’s not like his substitution had ANY bearing on the goal whatsoever.
by HungryHungryPanda on May 5, 2010 8:54 AM CDT up reply actions
the faceoff dot is 20 feet in from the boards - so it is a technical violation of teh 5 foot rule
but that is definitely once of those rules that is not enforced anywhere near as it is written – except maybe if the play is right there in front of the bench.
If the Wings ever had this called against them, all the whinners heads would asplode.
Confusion will be my epitaph.
Just wanted to add
Say this is a marginally illegal line change. Is there any other fanbase in the league that would be as up in arms as SCUM fans? I see three things that went horribly wrong on this goal:
-Ericsson goes for a skate deep in SJ’s zone for reasons known only to him
-Rafalski decides to play hopscotch on that 2 on 1
-Howard comes WAY too far out of his crease to challenge Thornton
But no, they need to find a way to blame the refs. FUCK SCUM.
by HungryHungryPanda on May 5, 2010 8:53 AM CDT up reply actions
and a fourth
The color guy was saying whoever shot the puck at the other end has to hit the net in that situation — I think that the puck bouncing back out of the zone is what led to that odd man rush off the change.
Yeah, especially with those boards at the Joe
I might have been too rough on Ericsson, as he was actually the first man in on the rush for Detroit. It was actually Abdelkader and Filpulla that let Marleau blow past them. I suppose it doesn’t matter, it was a total team fail. Oh, I mean REF FAIL.

Speaking only for myself and Lou Holtz...
…any potential opponent is potentially the greatest challenge faced by any team ever.
Alternatively, for the next week or so, I may ask: Joe who?
I don’t know. It’s like trying to avoid competing jinxes.
Gentlemen! I have invented...this thing!
take a look at his assists
no really, I can’t here at work but Jumbo Joes isn’t really known for his goal scoring but rather his setting up goals, Look at his splits for the regulare season this year and you;ll get what i’m saying.
That being said he has been a choke artist the past few years in the Playoffs
September 26, 2007 The day a Franchise was reborn.
absolutely not
he showed up for one game. one. pavelski is still carrying this team. they wouldn’t be out of the first round w/o pavelski’s line and games one and two would be very different.
here’s thorton’s breakdown:
col game 1 – 0G 0A
col game 2 – 0G 2A
col game 3 – 0G 0A
col game 4 – 0G 0A
col game 5 – 0G 0A
col game 6 – 0G 1A
det game 1 – 0G 1A
det game 2 – 1G 1A
det game 3 – 1G 1A
all this “the demons are excised, the monkey’s off their backs” stuff is a bit early. it would be so very sharks to blow a 3 game lead.

Here’s my nominee for douchebag of the year:
“Just give the Sharks the Cup now. There were at least four shots that almost went in for the Wings. That game should have been 8-2 AT MOST!
I counted at least 14 NO-CALLS againt San Jose. Wings hit the post at least 6 times. 4 of the Sharks goals went off skakes.
I don’t care what the series is. Wings are the better team. I’m wearing my turtleneck, gold wing necklace and McCarty jersey right now cause I’m a champion"

If there were only 14 no-calls, then the game was entirely over ref'd
