Blue Jackets @ Blackhawks - Preview/Pre-Game Thread/Apple Bobbing Contest

Columbus-blue-jackets-super-flair_mediumAltlogo_medium

Game Time: 7:30 PM
TV/Radio: WGN for both
Crying Uncle: The Cannon

Not ones to let us linger on bad feelings or crushing hangovers - the Blackhawks come home tonight in an attempt to right the wrongs of last night's loss to Carolina.  They couldn't really ask for a better team to face though, as the Blue Jackets had remarkably low expectations this year yet have still found a way to be disappointing.  Their three points so far this season puts them not only at the bottom of the West but the NHL as a whole... even Boston has managed a few wins.  The Jackets got off to an incredibly hot start last year, losing only 5 times from the start of the season to November 24th.  Then the wheels came off the bus in spectacular fashion and losing streaks were a common sight in the Buckeye State. 

To fix the problem, GM Scott Howson made a bit of a splash by bringing in Center Jeff Carter and our dear ol' friend turned villain James Wisniewski.  The Carter addition was a clear attempt to find a center for alleged weiner-tucker Rick Nash.  Sadly, someone forgot to tell Howson that simply because a guy is good at hockey and also plays center doesn't mean he's a good fit for his only star player.  Carter plays almost the same game as Nash, not a complimentary style.  Carter is a sniper, not a pass first play maker like Nash needs.  The Jackets may eventually get to figure this out.. but first they'll need Carter to actually play some games.  He'll be out tonight with a broken foot he suffered while running to the store for more hair care products and bleach. 

That brings us to the meatball legend that is James Wisniewski.  I won't go into his time here and his departure as we've covered that plenty of times.  What is shocking is Columbus' belief that Wiz is the answer to their power play struggles.  While he did have a pretty good time in Montreal racking up 29 points with the man advantage, Wiz is hardly the answer to a power play problem.  He's got a rocket for a shot, sure, but he's able to get that off cleanly about as often as a lunar eclipse.  What they've got instead is a man who has never seen an opportunity for a hit he hasn't liked, no matter how far out of position he has to go to deliver it.  Actually, in order for him to go out of position, he'd have be in the right spot initially.  I think the only time Wiz is actually in the right spot is when lining up for faceoffs.  After that it's a savage journey to the heart of the American dream for James.  Somehow, Columbus thought this was worth about $33 Million though...

Beyond these two, Steve Mason enjoyed his sophomore slump so much he decided to keep it going for a few more years.  He's currently sporting a .885 Sv% and a Foley friendly GAA of 3.33.  One might think those stats are inflated due to a porous defense allowing opposing teams to pepper Mason with shots but it's not quite the case.  The Jackets are currently 8th best, allowing only 28.2 shot against per game.  And sadly, that's one of the only categories where the Jackets are in the favorable areas.  Everything else they're either at or right near the bottom.  Notably, they're dead last in PK% and it's not even a close race.  They're killing only 64.7% while even 29th place Ottawa managed to kill 72.3%.  They at least don't take many penalties though.. so they've got that going for them, which is nice. 

Luckily for all of us, these aren't the Ken Hitchcock Jackets who play the defensive game that brings us to tears.  Scott Arniel prefers the up-tempo attack with all players joining in.  Sadly for all Columbus fans though, he simply doesn't have the tools to do it. A putrid effort like last night may not get the team far but even remotely giving a shit ought to be enough to snag two points and still have time to get everyone out to all of their Halloween parties before all the good candy (and booze) is consumed or the girl dressed as the slutty iPhone goes home. One game likely isn't enough to send Q to his magic line generator but if things start slow watch for him to go nuts.

Lets Go Hawks

This game brought to you by:

Tyranena Cheif BlackHawk Porter

Ok, sorry for posting Clown Shoes last night…it obviously didn’t have the effect I was hoping for. So we’ll try a most positively named beer tonight.

Chief BlackHawk Porter is a robust black and sharply bittersweet ale. This style was traditionally the session beer consumed by the porters in London.

I know Tyranena is available to you guys in Chicago, but I don’t remember seeing this beer ever. Someone run to Binny’s and check.

Tonight marks the fake Winter Classic Kane jersey’s first game of the year, and it was the #1 jersey last year, so hopefully it carried over to this season.

Go Hawks!

Is it still "too early" to be looking at the standings, even for entertainment purposes?

As it stands now, Edmonton and Dallas lead the Western Conference, and 5 points separates 1st from 14th place in the West (that’s how many points separates 1st from 3rd in the East). Boston is in last place in the East.

Yes the guy was already losing his balance but Carcillo clearly gave him a gratuitous shove, from behind into the boards. And of course he’s a repeat offender which is something Shanahan is repeatedly stating to be a factor…2 games seems if anything kind.

I've been drinking all night long, so long baby, I'm gone.

Another bottle of Crown, so I can drown, all these Blue Jacket sorrows away.

As kills already eluded to, the Jackets clearly suck but are good enough to beat Ty Conklin and the Wings and are severely overdue to win one on the road. And just for good measure they brought back Matt Calvert to once again expose Leddy a few more times just like he did last year.

And since it worked so well last year, expect some 50+ ft shots from the Bickell as the Jackets still haven’t brought themselves to terms that Mason is another Blaine Lacher or Jim Carey.

The ‘Hawks haven’t been too inspiring themselves and have looked like dogshit enough times this year that another wouldn’t be surprising. Must be still hungover from Duncan Keith’s little extravaganza this week.

Also, congratulations to the St. Louis Cardinals what an unbelievable team that (just like the Packers) found a way into the playoffs when it didn’t seem possible and not only crashed the party, but smashed it. Freese – both NLCS and WS MVP’s. Impressive!

The Hawks tonight need to make up from a shitty performance on the road. They ought to have won last night, but hey, there’s no statute of limitations on acquiring two points.

They redeem themselves tonight and come away with the win.

  3. Use the “Links” to make the top part go to NHL.com or come here to SCH (I’ll turn on the GDT link when the thread appears, but it won’t magically update for each thread)
  4. Or, if you’d like, put a web URL/address into the “Address” box and hit “Go” to load that page into the top part (this doesn’t work with all pages… Justin.tv doesn’t play nice, for instance)

btw

This doesn’t update in realtime… I scrape the NHL stats once every minute, but the ticker only looks up my results every time it finishes scrolling through. So the numbers could up to 80-90 seconds old.

Maybe give some serious thought to changing my last name or something.

Feh

I’m trying to figure out what league he thinks that pointless shove from behind sending a player into the boards would be legal in.

So if Carbomb's out for two games, who's in? Rusty?

Perhaps this will give Olesz a chance to show Q what he can do.

by Steeg of their own on Oct 29, 2011 6:50 PM CDT reply actions  

I think Q has a dog named rusty

because olesz seems to be stuck in his dog house no matter what.

Granted it is early in the season.

Good point.

For some reason I figured that must mean they were in and didn’t even stop to think.

by lobster on Oct 29, 2011 7:09 PM CDT up reply actions  

the first players off are usually the scratches

Huh?

I can live with a 7th d man but how do olesz and lepisto both work there ways back in but scott also gets the nod.

Makes no sense to me. I wonder which two hawks sit in the press box tonight.

@TramyersCSN
Tracey Myers #Blackhawks scratches on the early roster report are O’Donnell, Carcillo (obviously) and Olesz.

Goddamn it.

Why is Scott in ahead of Olesz? This logic makes no sense. No sense at all.

by Steeg of their own on Oct 29, 2011 7:19 PM CDT up reply actions  

someone just asked tracy if Olesz was hurt

she said she doesn’t know because he has been in practice.

Fixed that for you
I think I might be the first only one on the fire quenville Quenneville bandwagon.

Hope this helps. Also, if there wasn’t such atrocious spelling in your first post, I might give it the ‘a’. But I felt compelled to correct your errors for everyone’s sake.
