Introduction To The Opposites: Blackhawks 5 - Canucks 1

There's a certain thing about rivalry games. It gets to a certain point where you don't even enjoy them anymore. I hate watching the Red Wings play the Blackhawks.. it's pulling teeth the entire 60+ minutes.  As a Redskins fan, there's nothing I hate more than a Dallas game.  It's the same now with the Canucks.  From the opening kickoff or the drop of the puck, the game isn't really all that enjoyable.. it's horrible.  Your stomach drops every time the other is in possesion of the puck.  Every time the Hawks just miss you're sure that's the one and only chance they had to win it all. The rivals score first in the close game and you're sure you're going to do some anger drinking for the rest of the night...

Then the Blackhawks score 5 unanswered goals and everything ends up just fine and the whiskey you raise in a toast at the end of the night is nothing but pure jubilation. 

Such is the case tonight as the Hawks kick off the annual circus trip in the best possible circumstances.  They'd won 3 in a row coming into it, sure.  But to say they'd played the best competition is a stretch.  If the Hawks had truly gotten over their slump, tonight was the night to prove it.  The first period was tight with a slight tilt in the Nucks favor.  The second opened horribly as one of the Sedins (doesn't matter which) made a pass that only they, Patrick Kane and a few others could make to get the easy tap in for the first goal.  Lucky for all of us - Ryan Kessler took the dreaded offensive zone penalty and the suddenly competent power play was able to connect.  All 5 Hawks on the ice (including the ever popular 3 defensemen) touched the puck as Monty and Dream Warrior have a nice give and go before Kruger finds a wide open Andrew Brunette who puts home an easy snap shot. 

Just over 5 minutes later, Patrick Kane finds a soft spot in the ice and totally flubs a shot.  Toews was in the perfect spot in the slot and finds a way to either tie up the unexplicably healthy Sami Salo or just cause enough of a concern that the puck slides past Roberto Luongo... wait... that wasn't Bobby Lou giving up softies?  Huh.. couldn't tell.

Sweet Little Bullets From A Pretty Blue Gun:

  • For the record, as happy as I was and as much as I cursed the Canucks last night, I was the only member of the triumverent against calling it a DLR game.  Call me a buzzkill, but those are still resereved for 5+ goal victories for me.. Vancouver be damned.  I still watched the video though while writing this...
  • Saying that though - it was pretty sweet to see the White Flaggers empty out of their arena early... I hope the downtown area got the plywood boards up in time. (I know Fels called a truce on riot jokes in the last preview but I didn't get to make one yet, so sue me)
  • An easy way to not worry about giving up a power play goal... don't take any penalties. Or at least don't get caught.  Of course the Hawks proabably did something illegal in the 60 minutes of play - they were just lucky enough not to do it in front of anyone with a whistle.  The Nucks themselves were on that lucky side on Sunday when they played the Islanders.
  • The Hawks did play a remarkably balanced and controlled game though - even after going down a goal there didn't seem to be any of the panic that crept into the game last year.  They kept up their game plan and even improved upon it.  
  • I know I mentioned this in the last wrap.. but holy fuck is Nick Leddy fast.  I made a Star Trek 4 reference at the bar when he used the slingshot maneuver to catapult himself up the ice for a rush in the second.  I stand by it.
  • The bar I was at (aka The Whirlaway) was filled with a surprising number of women for some lady's birthday party, so I was on my best behavior - I feel like I deserve a medal for not yelling "Bieksa is a fucking bitch" even once despite the urge every time I saw his ugly face on the TV, like I normally do.
  • Steve Montador?  Hack wasn't kidding with that "whoever Hossa is skating with" joke.  Great job by Monty to be in the right place but Hossa's patience to hold the puck and circle back a bit to find the streaking Montador (streaking monty?) is what makes that play.  I'm still not quite sure how the puck found its way in.. but god bless it.  
  • Side note - don't google image search for "naked mr. burns" if you're at work.  Evidently cartoon porn is way more popular than I would have thought. 
  • The loss of Brent Seabrook was noticeable but not damning.  Steve Montador was a solid fill-in but the Hawks still had trouble breaking up the Canucks cycle.. but that happens even with Biscuit in the line up.
  • Frolik decided to emulate Biscuit's adventure into the boards.  Attempting to gain a breakaway, Fro was knocked off balance and his momentum carried him directly into the corner where he tried to stand up but slammed awkwardly into the boards.  No penalty on the play, just unfortunate.  Fro didn't return to the game.
  • After a couple sub-par games - Corey Crawford was back in great form tonight.  The one goal against was hardly his doing and he remained solid in the net and broke up several chances from the Nucks including a few breakaways and odd man rushes.  He also didn't let the spear in the groin from one of the Sedins (doesn't matter which) knock him off his game.  
  • Patrick Sharp misplayed a puck on the blue line while he was playing point on the power play and it directly led to a breakaway for the Canucks.  No matter how many times this happens, Q will insist on keeping him there. 
  • Any one else know Daniel Carcillo got a penalty with 0 seconds left in the third?  Way to keep up those PIM buddy. 
  • Goal differential between the two teams is now even for the season - Suck it Vancouver

Player of the Game:

Hossasuit_medium

Tough one to really choose - Toews had another solid game and a goal with an assist... so did Kane.  Even Montador kept his production up with another two points.  Corey Craword was solid and didn't let in any softies. However,  It was Marian Hossa with the helper in the nail in the coffin plus two others.  He's Marian Hossa, you're on the ice with him, they're not.

Hossa on the year

11th in assists, 7th in points, 2nd in +/- (even though I hate that stat), 3rd in the league in even-strength points, 10th in PPG, leads the team in Points per 60 mins, and only Sharp has been on the ice for more Blackhawk goals this year.

The mancrush grows by the game this season. Did I mention no other player has been on the ice for less goals allowed (7) while averaging at least 20 minutes a game this year?

he’s been good the last two, but of course our expectations would be that he’d be better – so far so good.

Who was it who said

they had the same shoulder surgery that Hoss had and that it took at least a year to recover? I know it’s been two now, but his Fuck You factor is off the charts right now.

I was also thinking about the S&C coach Goodman — he might also have a great deal to do with how strong Hossa’s skating looks. Not to mention his upper body.

lesson of this story is

Aeroflot was notorious for being among the worst in the history of aviation, and the others are just as bad, apparently. Look at what happened earlier this year with the Polish premiere and most of his cabinet – ridiculous.

so it’s worth mentioning. As sloppy as our team was in the first period last night, the offense did a fairly tremendous job of backchecking. Sharp, Toews, Kane, and Hossa all foiled potential scoring chances.

not to nitpick

but wasn’t keith the one at fault for that PP giveaway into a breakaway? i thought keith was the one that made the horribly obvious pass across the blue line to a covered teammate, but i could be wrong.

also as awesome as hossa and keith played that game, kruger and leddy have continued to impress. nothing makes me happier than knowing that we have amazing top-line players backed up by younger players coming into their own. kruger was all over the place after settling down last night, and leddy is a fucking bullet train end to end. i love how he doesn’t hesitate to even take the puck past their goal line, those types of plays can really open things up and confuse the hell out of the defending team.

by trois murs on Nov 17, 2011 12:21 PM CST reply actions  

yes it was

Stuff like that happens to a guy who handles the puck as much as Keith does. I’ve accepted that fact while learning not to take him for granted when he’s as good as he’s been lately. If he keeps it up, he’ll be back in Norris contention in no time.

by aeroplane on Nov 17, 2011 12:24 PM CST up reply actions  

he had a great game and people make mistakes

but i just wanted to point out that it wasnt really sharpies fault on that play

by trois murs on Nov 17, 2011 12:36 PM CST up reply actions  

If anything,

maybe Sharpie was a little too close to Dunc leaving him with a tough, between-speeds pass to make.

by stanfordron on Nov 17, 2011 1:06 PM CST up reply actions  

Yeah

Zero percent Sharpie’s fault there. Keith’s pass was telegraphed AND he put no pace on it. He shouldn’t have made it, and if he was going to make it, he should have gotten it there faster. It got picked off because everyone saw that pass coming AND he made it very weakly.

Monster game otherwise, though.

no one is going to catch that guy on a breakaway, not Duncs, Leddy or even Stals. Just hope he gets stoned.

by Waylon on Nov 17, 2011 3:22 PM CST up reply actions  

That's true

But I thought Duncs took a bad path, as well. Obviously this is extreme nit-picking from a guy who was a beast all night, but he should have taken a more gradual angle towards the net, rather than trying to cut off Hansen. I’m guessing he underestimated how fast that dude is. Because anyone who blows by Keith like that has got somekinda wheels.

and just think…we did this without seabrook, a less than 100% bolland, john scott/lepisto as a D pairing, while playing away….and not to mention we still have morin and smith looking like they’re starting to hit their stride in rockford….if the hawks keep up their intensity, and marian “i don’t always take penalties..but when I do someone’s coming with me” hossa keeps it up, we should be in great shape for a good long while….

on that note..with rusty being sent down,and frolik likely to be hurt for a short while…any thoughts on who’ll get the call?

On another note – Kane and Hossa each have taken one roughing penalty this year, both of which have occurred against Van, and I believe both occurred in a scrum around Crow after the whistle (plus there was a Sedin flop on Kaner’s “roughing” call, if memory serves)… I think that says a little something about this rivalry.

I can’t decide whether or not to be amused or saddened by how low they set the bar over there but while I’m thinking it over I think I’ll watch the video of Kaner in Game 6 again…

Bag skate? I think everyone here has advanced the notion that the Cannots basically had the better play for most of the game. Which is to say, I don’t think they lost that game because of effort. They lost it because they can’t handle adversity. He thinks a bag skate will what…? Make them winners? HA! Hardly.

The only thing a bag skate is going to do is make their tired achy legs even more tired. A bag skate. Yes. Moar of this.

Player of the Game...

I have a goalie bias, but I believe that Crow was the POG. That save on the Pick Six Breakaway with the score at 2-1 changed the game.

The one blemish was a “no chancer.” He has been good, not great as of late. Last night he was great.

by NiemiNation on Nov 17, 2011 2:34 PM CST reply actions  

I don't think it's goalie bias

he definitely deserved to at least be named one of the stars, if not the #1. He played outstanding and made some phenomenal saves on breakaways, odd man rushes, and through screens without which the ‘Hawks could have been in some serious trouble. As was pointed out above, it’s kind of silly that the Canucks are having a bag skate today because their loss wasn’t for lack of effort it was because aside from that one on which he had no chance whatsoever Crow shut the door on some really good scoring chances.

We tend to float unrealistic hypotheticals for trades but it’s clear the Hawks will be in position to make a deal around the deadline to fill the Top 6 hole we have. Ideal candidate is a scorer on the last year of his deal.

What about Ales Hemsky? The Oilers will dump him this year for sure because he won’t be retained. Injury history, sure. But he fits the mold of the LW skill set we need.

Just like the ToS uses a combined 100 of the PP & PK (PP%+PK%) to see if a special teams is good or not, here is another for a team.

(GF-GA)-W

No team that has finished the season equal to or better then -20 has missed the playoffs since 2003 (as far back as I looked)

Currently this is the Hawks (67-53)-12 = +2

The closer to, or above 0 the Hawks remain, the stronger it shows their play and playoff chances

FYI Van is -9! lol

From Blackhawks Magazine interview with John Scott

My girlfriend’s teams are the New Jersey Devils, Tampa Bay Lightning and Detroit Red Wings. What can I do to save the relationship?
– Ryan, Glendale, Ariz.

Well, Ryan, I think you are in trouble. I would try to convince her of her obvious faults. If she can’t see that she is making a huge mistake in her life by cheering for those teams, then I think you need to move on. You can do much, much better. There are plenty of nice girls who are normal and cheer for the Hawks.

as a person always seems better than the player…

Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction, but uh... everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?

yeah that is definitely fair. mentioned it at NM as well

the way some of the players are reacting right now really sounds exactly like our team did last year.
