Puke and Raleigh: Canes 3 - Hawks 0
by Hack on Oct 29, 2011 2:04 AM CDT
Email
PrintAfter spending my evening watching the Cardinals win the World Series, and immediately following that up with the DVR'd Hawks-Canes mess, you'll understand if I'm too depressed to recap the lowlights in great detail. Let's get right to the bullet points, and then we can all get our Wiz-Wear cleaned, pressed, and ready for tomorrow's game.
- It's never fun to watch a Toews beast mode game go to waste, but that's exactly what happened tonight. He may have ended up a minus 2 on the night, but for a large portion of the first 50 minutes, the Captain was arguably the only offensive player who had a pulse.
- Andrew Brunette is slow, we know this, but even I'm surprised at how much he's killing the first line's forecheck. That being said, the Hawks as a whole didn't accomplish much of anything on the forecheck this evening. We know that the Men of Four Feathers are capable of making things happen in transition, but when you're skating on ice that makes the UC look like Rexall Place, it might be a good idea to play the dump and chase game.....even if it's not the panty-dropping style of hockey you're used to.
- Here's another dead horse that I'm going to insist on beating: Viktor Stalberg is a waste of ice time right now. If Ben Smith is playing even semi-useful hockey in Rockford, Bowman needs to find a way to get him on the fourth line.
- In each of the last two games, the Hawks have racked up 12 minutes worth of minor penalties. I suppose that after staying out of the box for the first couple weeks of the season, the team was due for a few minors, but I'd prefer that they don't make a habit out of it. While we're on the subject, high sticking a player who's tied up in the faceoff circle is as bad as it gets; it's not like Carbomb can claim that he didn't know an opposing player was there.
- Bolland played with zero offensive flare tonight, and his one-stride-in-and-let-it-rip routine may have been part of the reason that Michael Frolik had his most uneventful game of the season.
- If O'Donnell's shift on the third goal doesn't get him a night off, nothing short of a Viagra overdose will. I understand that he's trying to make things happen by working his way down low as Kane cycled out high, but someone needs to tell him that he's of little use to this team when camped out in the slot, and his lack of effort coming back on the 2 on 1 is something that I don't expect out of a 16 year veteran.
- Foley's "Trees" and unnecessary alliteration (Cane capper?) are annoying enough during a win, but at the end of a whitewash? I think it's safe to say that I did not enjoy the broadcast, in spite of the outcome.
- If the Clown Shoe doesn't fit, make it even bigger and more cumbersome? Q and crew are trying to mix things up on the man advantage, but I can't say that I'm a big fan of seeing multiple powerplay formations in a single game. We knew that Sharp was going to get a look back at forward, which he did as he was floating around the high slot looking for one-timer opportunites, but later in the game we saw an Umbrella formation with Dunc at the middle point and Sharp & Hossa at the top of each circle. I don't what the best option is here, but it'd be nice if they would settle on something in practice and stick with it during the game.
- Cam Ward starting in net against the Hawks at the RBC Center......Why did we even bother watching again?

Good stuff Hack
agree with most all as usual. Here’s my take on the third goal:
…capped by watching a loafing Sean O’Donnell, after pinching to the offensive crease, glide back into the Hawk slot to enjoy an outstanding view of Tlusty calmly finishing a 2-on-1 on an open net. 3-0 final.
and here’s a shameless link.

Nice recaps by both you and Hack
I’m glad you mentioned that crushing check by Monty. That was a big time hockey play, not goonery. I can live with more of that. Too little too late though. Another bright spot, I felt, was Seabs.
Thank you, sir! May I have another?
Except for the play that lead to the phantom "penalty shot"
Seabs was pretty solid.

on Fro
But I don’t see the scoring touch of a guy who posted 20 goal seasons his first two years.
Spot on here. We haven’t seen much out of Fro as a goal scorer; he’ll tap in some “right place, right time” goals (which is fine), but he’s shown very little in the way of sniping. Carcillo aside (need a bigger sample size in the Indianhead), Fro may have the worst wrist shot of anyone in the top 9.

O'Donnell's effort
was pathetic on that goal. However, on the bright side, it allowed my wife and I to “stop it right there” and show our “young hockey player out there” just exactly what he looks like when he floats into the defensive zone on a breakaway and doesn’t move his legs. He didn’t like that. Sure hope O’Donnsie feels the same way after Q runs that play back 100 times for his viewing pleasure.

Disagree on a few points here
Highly disagree with Toews being in “beast mode.” He was a teddy bear tonight. And believe me, Bolland had nothing to do with Frolik’s mediocre play. That’s Frolik’s own doing. He’s pretty good defensively, but if you’re relying on him for offense…yikes!
I said it around 5-6 games ago, but Stals is all speed with no hands or IQ. I don’t see why he consistently keeps getting bumped up to the top 6 despite playing like trash. Hell, at this point, Kruger would be a better option there. At least he has hockey sense. I do agree with your general statement though. Smith would be a much better option up here than Stals.
I don’t get the Carcillo comment though. He didn’t commit the high-stick. Also, PP sucks, Brunette sucks.
alright, let's call it beast mode relative to
the rest of the uninspired play that we saw last night. Toews line had some prolonged shifts in the offensive zone, and he was the reason why. He had a much better offensive game than Kane, Hossa, Bolland, Bruno, Fro, Bickell etc.
We’ll have to agree to disagree about Bolland’s impact on Fro’s game. There were at least four times in the game when Bolland carried the puck into the zone, and ripped a slapshot with minimal pressure on him. I know Bollie is a defense first player, but he needs to hold on to the puck there and get his linemates involved (who were also having a bad game, but still).

Toews would have been a Beast
If he scored on the breakaway. That would have changed the momentum of the game.

Have the Hawks scored on any yet this season?

Cam Barker had a sweet goal for the conference leading Edmonton Oilers
yes, I’m pretty much trolling you but everything in the above is true.
I wonder how long...
the Oil goalies can keep up their success. It’s not like their defense is looking good.
Team owes a bar tab to Crow, who put in a heck of a lot of effort last night to see no results.
For large chunks of the game, the goalie (and perhaps Brent Seabrook, who did his usual good work) looked like the only player who came to play. All four forward lines looked off-kilter, and I don’t know whether it was the ice messing with their speed and passing, or whether it was just one of those games, but hopefully they’ll get it together for tonight.
Carcillo last night… I’m ambivalent. That highsticking penalty took one of our best players off the ice for four minutes, and Hack’s right that it’s not like he didn’t know EStaal was standing right there. But the reason he committed the penalty was that he was rushing in to support Kaner on the faceoff, which is a worthy goal, if a bad result. There was a point later in the game where Kaner dropped back to pick up the puck on a regroup, and Carbomb nearly collided with him because he’d dropped back too far as well. I feel like I saw a lot of effort from him last night, and there were several shifts where he was instrumental in keeping the offensive pressure high. The effort is there, he just needs keep his head on the ice, be aware of where his stick is, be aware of what his center’s doing, stuff like that.

Bingo all were putrid except for Crow and Seabs
The team really wasted a heroic performance in net out there, I don’t think Ward was tested nearly as often as Crow was throughout the game.
I'm the biggest Seabrook promoter around here
and he had a lot of strong play but he was responsible for giving up the puck/breakaway/penalty shot all while on the PP. Then he gave up the breakaway on the 2nd goal.
Hard to put all of the blame on Seabrook for the breakaway/PS
Hossa gave him a really tough pass to handle and Seabs had no time cleanly accept it

agreed,
that was a pass into his feet. On a night when the Hawks couldn’t connect two passes in a row, expecting a “kick to the stick” to work was probably a bit too much. Is tonights game on yet?

Not just the location of the pass
But the nature of the pass itself… both point guys on the same side of the blue line, a guy ready to break… I would’ve liked Hossa to use a little better judgement there.
yeah well the guy needed more help that he got last night
pretty much only three players who gave a damn out there.
after last night, i felt like Carcillo needed a refresher on what to do (and not do) when you play on a line with Kaner

Kane doesn't play on the PK (nor does Carcillo)
so it was actually therefore better to have Kaner go to the sin bin. Better to have him flying out of the box for a potential breakaway after the penalty expired.

Could not agree more about OD
his lack of effort on the 3rd goal makes him very worthy on a seat in the press box tonight. Kaner seemed to take the night completely off and then we had Leddy looking every bit a lose and sick puppy, unsure on what to do with the puck and getting him asre handed to him on the boards… and a many penalties the BHawks took, they could have gotten a few more. Carbomb shoved a player into the end boards, Seas basically interfering with Lil’ Boy Blue by shoving him to the ice when the puck was no longer close, and a clear 6 man on the ice when Bollands stick broke. (of course there was the BS penalty against Seas on the breakaway that led to the penalty shot so maybe a makeup call came about). Overall the BHawks looked completely disinterested in playing the game. I fully expect more effort against the Jackets (a god please leave Scott off the ice) but then I expect a Rusty sighting and perhaps even Emery between the posts.

Fairly certain Q said it was going to be Emery tonight

The Hawks Rank in the top half of most big team areas
GF, GA, GF/G, GA/G, Goal/Diff, WIN%, PPG, W, L, TSH, PKGA, PK%, SHG/F, SHG/A, and most of these are the top 8 in the NHL.
The area the Hawks are weakest is, no surprise, PP Opp (18th) PPG/F (26th) and PP% (25th). This needs to be fixed and fast. The Hawks do not need to have the top PP or even top 5 PP, but they cannot afford to stay in the bottom 5. It would not have made a difference last night really, but having a good PP will help out huge in the long run. Opposing teams will be less inclined to hold up or interfere with forwards on the rush and take a risk drawing a penalty. But without a PP that can make a team pay, this is only going to make it tougher on the guys at EV since right now it may be less risk to slow up a Hawk Forward and draw a PIM, than to let them get behind them and set up the zone.
I think we saw some of this last night, but against more aggressive teams this may become an MO. The HAwks need to get the PP units going, and what better target to start hat with than tonight and CBJ?
by Toews-makes-funny-faces on Oct 29, 2011 8:06 AM CDT reply actions
Agree for the most part.
However, I would say that one early PP goal last night might have been what they needed to believe they could solve Ward the Impenetrable. It’s that old intangible momentum thing. A goalie makes some saves, gets more confident, the D starts working harder for their guy, and next thing you know it’s a shutout. If you get that first goal it often breaks that psychological barrier.
Thank you, sir! May I have another?
Yes but they always have problems with Ward
at least on his home ice.
I agree
which is why if we had a decent PP that could get one past him it might have been just what they needed. If ifs and buts were candy and nuts we’d all have a merry Christmas.
Thank you, sir! May I have another?
Or Toews scoring on that breakaway.
If the PP continues to not perform then Kitchen doesn’t make it past Christmas.

but I see no reason to play him against a team like Columbus. I could see Olesz out there, though.
I see a 3 games suspension
I was shocked no penalty was called in the first place, got away with that one.

I would hope he won’t get suspended for that hit.
I think Pitkanen could’ve protected himself a little better and Carcillo was just making a hard play on a defenceman with the puck. There was no late hit or recklessness on Carcillo’s part.

I'm assuming since he's even having a hearing, he will get suspended
And I’m thinking, because he is a repeat offender, he’ll get more then 3 – I think those are the types of suspensions he’s given out to first timers

Not surprised that Shanny’s minions that watch every minute of every game red-flagged that hit.
It was reckless and avoidable, IMO. The only thing that might save him is that Pitkanen was slighly parallel to the boards when Danny-boy shoved him down and into them. This is by memory — haven’t located a link to the hit yet.

In the same vein a lot of games sucked last year. Also, last year I felt like they had so many of these “I hope Toews or the coaching staff wakes the guys up” games that never seemed to wake the team up.
Not that I feel they need to “wake up” but the damn well better show up to play tonight

I don't really get what you are getting at
He got the shit kicked out of him in the NHL, my point is that he isn’t really getting better at it.
Smith was really good last night for the 'hogs
He’ll be back before too long.
These games happen--the Hawks should be OK.
It looked like the Canes were on every pass we made and won every board battle. We had a bunch of giveaways and some of our guys looked tired. It pretty much looked like a game where the guys weren’t all that engaged. It happens from time to time. If it becomes a pattern, then we worry. Otherwise, I’d expect a solid effort out of the boys in Red & Black for the next 2 games.

you could get all those innocent young kids to watch the game with you.. they’d be thrilled to stay up late, would learn some “interesting” new words and will go home to their parents saying things like “When someone called Teeth hits someone’s shins Mr.TMFF can spit beer twelve feet. Through his nose. Can you do that, Daddy?”
FTW

absolutely!
trust me, expressions like “Fucking Clown Shoes” and the knowledge about interesting beers (if you let them join you in the threads) will set them apart in the playground. Although, if they catch sight of 36 celebrating a shortie you may have to pay a lot of parents psychiatric bills..

I'm waiting for this day. She already talks back.
That’s when I check her out of bed and into the wall. Then my wife will become Shanny and give me a 3 night suspension for targeting the kid’s head.

well you have a good argument in the 'hearing'..
..she ‘put herself in a vulnerable position’ by sassing back her dad.. however i have a sneaking feeling you may end up getting a huge Hammer of the likes that Shan hasn’t even dreamed about..

I suspect you're right.
I’ll let her mouth off to her mother first. Then she’ll be a repeat offender when it comes to putting herself in a vulnerable position.
And I’m surprisingly comfortable with using the NHL Rulebook as a guide to parenting.

it makes sense alright..
say you have two liitle-‘uns going at it (or a Canadiens practice-scrap).. five for fighting for both of them.. now they have to think about what they’ve done. Or, if your child does something really nasty (sets a cat on fire/throws bricks onto buses/follows the Canucks) then you can “suspend” them from taking part in normal family activities like mealtimes.. they have to eat alone at some weird little tanle. Because clearly the NHL policies on such things has resulted in Matt Cooke Kevin Bieksa Brad Marchand Sean Avery being out of the league

Can somebody PLEASE tell what the Fuck 1" of snow is doing on the ground in CT before Halloween?
Oh, and today’s NHL rankings (DRS)
by Toews-makes-funny-faces on Oct 29, 2011 3:00 PM CDT reply actions
The snow is probably
due to the temperature and the amount of moisture in the air
Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene."

meh try 23 inches sometime
our last five winters here have progressively sucked worse – more snow than average and temps below average. Last Feb’s monsoon just about tore my shoulders off via digging our car out of all the drifts…then our parking space…then our alley…then our front and back entrances….I usually don’t mind winter here all that much but it’s getting ridiculous.
something different..
just been over to Puck Diddy (I’m bored waiting for the game, OK?) and read this article on the habit of booing Bettman.. and he says this..
“In fact, Philadelphia [when Chicago won the Cup there in 2010] wasn’t that bad. The Flyers’ fans were pretty respectful. I walked out – they booed – then it got quiet when I started to present the Cup.”
really? All I seem to remember is a calvacade of boos.. but then again, it’s Philly.. we should be happy they’re not winging batteries..

Brunette's lack of speed is just scary
At even strength this guy looks as slow as Scott… Quennville should make him a power play specialist – like Tim Kerr towards the end of his career.
Bowman should make a move for Kyle Turris. His salary demand is obviously a play to get out of Phoenix. If the Hawks could get him for 2-2.5 for 2-3 years give Phoenix a first rounder or put a package together for him.
My sister just got word that she won those shoes
