I'll Allow There Are Some Nice Folks There: Jewels From The Crown, Battle of California
Last we saw the Kings, it was at the tail end of the circus trip where the Hawks desperately needed two points to salvage a .500 road trip. They got it after a nearly perfect first period road on the road before things got a little more dicey in the remaining 40 with the Hawks staying strong and finishing out the circus trip with an even record.
Things have certainly changed a little bit since then.. For one, the Kings fired head coach Terry Murray about halfway through this month after a mediocre start to the year... a four game losing streak was the final nail in the coffin for him. Losing to the Habs ought to cost any coach his job at this point though. Taking his place, our old friend Darryl Sutter. Sutter has sparked a little bit of life in the team so far with points in his first three games (2-0-1). The wins against Phoenix and Anaheim and an SO-L against San Jose. So all three so far for Sutter have been close games but his first real test will come against the Hawks tonight.
Not that the Hawks are far and away better than teams like the Yotes or Sharks... they are a lot better than Anaheim though. The real real reason this will be a measuring stick game for the Kings is their recent record against the Hawks. The Hawks have won 7 straight against LA despite the two teams seeming pretty close on paper. That's why they play the game though.
Coming into the year, the Kings seemed like they were going to be led from the back on out with Jonathan Quick backstopping a scary defense and a more than a few forwards who could make the Kings a real threat in the already crowded Western Conference. Well... Quick has been pretty solid. We'll give 'em that. He's got a higher Sv% and lower GAA than in year's past but the rest of the team isn't really living up to their end of the bargain. The defense which seemed like it could potentially eat smaller teams, like the Hawks, alive doesn't quite have the snarl we all expected even if they still could remain among the top of the league.
Where the problems begin (and probably end) for the Kings is their absolutely anemic offense. The Kings are still a team that hasn't met a shot they haven't liked - meaning they'll fire them on net from every angle possible no matter how badly that may screw up their chances for puck possession or pressure. They're 11th overall in the league in SOG/G but dead last in actually getting some of those shots past the goalie. Mike Richards and Anze Kopitar are still the only Kings in double digit territory for goals. Kop is having a decent year for assists though with 24 on the year. That means Kopitar has just over 18% of all Kings assists. Shut him down and a lot of Kings scoring goes down with him.
For the Blackhawks - a somewhat surprising move as Corey Crawford will get yet another chance to show us he can be trusted with the #1 spot. He's had a solid couple of games but as Hack mentioned in the last game's wrap, he's far from perfect out there and is still fighting at times for saves that seemed routine for him last year. He could still be on a short leash but until he proves he can't handle it, I'd say Q trusts him as his starter again... at least til Friday.
The line up is almost sure to have some minor tweaks to it though. Daniel Carcillo has said he's ready to go while there's concern that Marcus Kruger could have a little bit more of a problem than we thought. After a few hard hits in the game against the Jackets, he missed practice yesterday and his status (at the moment of writing this) is unclear. With all of the major press being given to the concussions (is it possible for this to be the most talked about topic and for it to still under-reported on?) it is probably in everyone's best interest, most of all Kruger's, for him to sit until he's 100% ready. This is a really tough break for Dream Warrior as he's been playing a pretty solid stretch of hockey. THe point totals aren't there but his work on the second line has been a welcome relief. And really, point totals will come when you're playing with Hossa and Sharp.
Finally, Patrick Kane is also somewhat questionable after missing yesterday's practice with the flu. Kane seems to get the flu pretty often but I guess that's what happens when the only vitamin C you get is when you get an orange slice in your cocktail. Q is mum so far on whether he'll play but I'd bet he skates tonight despite any lingering illness.
Law of averages says the Kings are due to win a game against the Hawks sometime soon but just because the roulette ball has landed on red the last 7 times doesn't mean it won't do the same for an eighth. Their defense and goalie are strong but the team still struggles to score more than 2 goals a game far too often. The chances will be there if the Hawks want them.

Blackhawks Fantasy Faceoff
Is anyone else out there playing this game? I’m convinced there are tricks to accumulating points. How the hell does someone accumulate over 500points in a game? More and more it’s looking to me like it’s rigged.
If you have any tips on accumulating points, please enlighten me.
I play
and I can’t seem to understand it either. I usually try to go with the guys with high “multi’s” but never seems to work. I just do it now when I remember. Pretty annoying.
Why Q, why?!
"Watching a shootout is like admitting you watch Survivor or search the internet for porn."
It is getting annoying...
because i cracked the top 100 for awhile. For instance, I had both Bolland and Stalberg plugged in on Monday and still got smoked.
I’ve gone to picking players with the high multipliers, but that hasn’t been much help. I can see getting beat by 50 to 100 points – but by 250 on Monday? There has to be a trick.
Unlike the Kings, the roulette ball
does not know it has landed on red the last seven times in a row.
Re: Kaner & the flu
Hopefully somebody tells him there’s no way he can look decent playing with the flu, and he decides to go all “fuck you” on it.
An opinion should be the result of thought, not a substitute for it. (Jef Mallett)
Crawford in nets too
Apparently they’re gonna stick with the hot hand till it cools
At least Quenneville is using the word "close" in regards to Kruger
Then again, he also said he didn’t know where the blow came from that re aggravated the head injury.
by JesusMarianHossa on Dec 28, 2011 11:57 AM CST reply actions
Well Monty is in
And Carcill is out. So with Kruger out too, that means Scott to the 4th line. Hope Carcillo can be back on Friday
Why Q, why?!
"Watching a shootout is like admitting you watch Survivor or search the internet for porn."
that certainly beats the hell out of an O'D/Scott tandem
i don’t mind when either are the sixth man – but 5th and 6th could cause problems

Kaner played with strep throat on Monday
Damn. I had strep throat early this year and I might as well have been dead for how I was feeling.
I had it as a kid, and it seemed like it was just a really long sore throat. I guess there must be different severities.
It was the worst I ever had it

Anze not hard name to say!
Now, if you ever meet Anze cousin Dimitrikov Ulyanov Kopitar, then this Pat Foley might have problem. Dimitrikov have problem when child. He not know that KGB have wager on big game between Slovaks and Soviets. He score garbage time goal and force wager to push. KGB find him, big problem. They remove both big toes.

This game brought to you by:
Russian River Brewing Co. Pliny The Elder
Pliny the Elder was a Roman naturalist, scholar, historian, traveler, officer, and writer. Although not considered his most important work, Pliny and his contemporaries created the botanical name for hops, “Lupus salictarius”, meaning wolf among scrubs." Hops at that time grew wild among willows, much like a wolf in the forest. Later the current botanical name, Humulus lupulus, was adopted. Pliny died in 79 AD while observing the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. He was immortalized by his nephew, Pliny the Younger, who continued his uncle’s legacy by documenting much of what he observed during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

You want to see price gouging
Check the prices for the tickets on Friday. Holy crap. $325 for a 300 level seat? That’s insanity.
The best was just setting a price alert for the Cup Finals tickets two years ago and getting the e-mail that said, “Dear X, we found tickets in your price range!” … I think the highest I got was a 100 level seat for $4,500. You have to wonder what some people paid to attend those games.

Price. A fair price. That’s not what you say it is, and it’s not what I say it is… It’s what the market will bear. Now there’s people – and I know ‘em – who’ll pay a lot more than $25,000 for a healthy baby. Why, I myself fetched $30,000 on the black market. And that was in 1954 dollars.

Fantastic question
I have an affinity for my family seats, 17 rows up right on the goal-line where the Hawks shoot twice. I think first row in that 200 level on the blue line either side where the Hawks shoot twice would be pretty badass.

I quite enjoy the 300 level
It is easy to see most of the game and nine times out of ten is usually not very obnoxious. Unless, of course, you get an idiot next to you who wants to see your phone instead of the game.
I don't mind the 300 level either. I'll be up there tonight.

I've wondered what it was like in the 200 level
Seems like you’re still really close, but yet you get the nice birds-eye view like you get up higher.
I’ve never watched from the 100 level before, but I have tickets for the Feb game vs. St. Louis. Really, really looking forward to it.
Let's Go Hawks!
My experience with the 100 level
is that it’s full of office parties that think a hockey game is a social event. They spend the whole time on their phone or talking to the people around them never watching the play at all. And frequently they stand in front of you yakking at their friends in the row behind you blocking your view of the game you paid 400ish bucks to see the Hawks get their asses handed to them by the team you could have watched at home for about 50…

Which is to say that sounds like quite a stereotype.
You can’t really avoid that in certain pockets. When companies have seats and give them away you’re going to get the folks who fell into tickets and know nothing about hockey. Maybe my section is an outlier…
I do stuff for CheerTheAnthem
That was my personal experience
whether or not it’s a stereotype of Hawks’ games now is moot. I paid a lot of money to even get tickets to the game in the lower level as it was my wifes first game at the UC, not to mention the cost of getting myself and family from Tucson AZ to Chitown to watch the game, and much of the experience by the incredibley rude people around where I was seated, I’ve been to 3/4 other games at the UC and never experienced anything like that, but I’ve always been in the 200 or 300 level. The fact that the Hawks got their asses kicked by the Coyotes and looked like garbage on the ice that game doesn’t help my impression of being in the 100 level.

we used to jeer at the “suits” in those seats who made the beeline for the trains as soon as the 3rd period was half over, whether the Hawks were in front or not. And they rarely made any noise of support whatsoever – the more things change…
We were up there most of the dark ages
I loved it. Really easy to get concessions and walk around. Fucking bomb-ass seats too. Everyone always shits all over the downstairs but I’ve never really gotten it other than thinking it was just cheap class warfare.
The people around me are almost always the same people (season ticket holders) and they are just as in to it as the people are upstairs.

At the glass behind the goal was of course my favorite
but other than that I would have to say I preferred the 200 level seats over most of the 100 level ones I have been in.

I've been in all levels including on the glass and in the boxes
(It’s nice to have wealthy friends)
I have a great picture of Jeff Shantz gettng his face absolutely smushed into the glass. And I’ve got one of Brett Hull missing a penalty shot (picture taken from directly behind the goal).
I liked the boxes best because I got free food and could watch replays when needed. Otherwise, each section has its own advantages. I’ve been in the 300s the most and that’s where my (eventual) wife and I attended our first game together so it has sentimental meaning for me as well. (Man, I miss being able to see the Hawks in person!)
Do you ever have dejavu?
Didn't you just ask me that?
I don't mind the 300 level either
I used to work for a doctor that had season tickets. Once he found out I was a hockey fan he would give me the tickets for the games he couldn’t attend.
SCH moderator (may the force be with me) and tweets @tivogoddess
I guess it's pretty obvious
where I think is the best. We’re at center ice, with a great view of the entire surface. I’ve sat on the glass about at the circles before. The action was exciting, but forget about seeing much of the game; pretty much watching TV with a stiff neck once the puck went back out of that zone.
I used to sit 13th row right behind the net Hawks shot at twice at the Barn. Those were pretty sweet, I have to say, and since it was before netting, you really had to pay attention!
An opinion should be the result of thought, not a substitute for it. (Jef Mallett)
yeah
Before that netting it seemed like every game there was someone who wasn’t paying attention and ended up eating a puck. Ouch.
Let's Go Hawks!

Don't know why
but I can’t stop laughing about that.
We're most often in 321 in the second row
as our portion of shared season-ticket pair. It’s a pretty good view, right on the goal line where the Hawks shoot at twice. I’ve been in the 200 level once or twice and also the skyboxes at that level a couple times. Those are terrific views but if I got my pick I’d probably choose first row of 300 level right at the red line.
But then again maybe not, for a different reason: the meatheads in the 300 level are seriously getting to be a disincentive. My wife and I were just talking about this. We’ve sat in several different 300-level sections during the past three seasons and, at least during the regular season, there’s always one or two mouth-breathers right near us who really detract from the experience. I suppose this is just me getting old because of course it’s nothing new, but the loud overt and REPETITIVE stupidity is more and more getting to be oppressive.
I mean it never changes, never gets any less stupid, and these chuckleheads just will NOT shut up! Never thought I’d say it, always loved the second balcony in the old barn, but…I might soon have to pick the ignorant socialites down below over the braying jackasses who pollute the 300 level.

I've never sat on the glass
But I’d probably agree. I sat in the corner of the 100 level 3 years ago for a Nucks game about 5 rows off the ice. In the opposite end, when they’d go into the corners, I couldn’t see a damn thing.
I lucked into the tickets I have now as I share them with a couple others. If I had my choice, I’d sit in the 300 level center and have my season tickets there. My name is still on the waiting list and has been for about 4 years. If and when they call me, that’s where I’d like to get a 2 seat package.

At least you weren't dropped..
My buddy and I had a half season plan after the lockout, 100 level about 15 rows up behind goal Hawks shoot twice, very nice. The year after Rocky took over we didn’t get a call back to renew, and were told they had turnover with ticketing personnel and we “must have fallen through the cracks, sorry your seats no longer available” We were offered 300 level seats, but sticking to principle, we said no.
Only lower level seats on StubHub are $400 per.
The guy who bought them from you is scalping $280.

New to SCH, so greetings to all. I saw the Kings game in LA over Thanksgiving. Observations:
1. Kings fans are disrespectful- they were yelling anti-Blackhawks comments throughout the national anthem. That’s one advantage to the UC.
2. Kings fans almost never cheer for their own team. Virtually 100% of audible comments were anti Hawks
3. The only good thing about seeing a game at Staples Center (besides that the Hawks won) was when Cartman came on the screen to yell “Let’s Go Kings” – funny. It wasn’t quite as funny the 50th time they did it though.
4. Although clueless, there’s no cause of concern for personal safety – fans are too mellow
welcome!

Swedes squandered a 3-1 lead, tied now
How do they do OT, etc in IIHF competitions?
extended OT maybe?

It seems like 5 mins of 4 on 4
I’m wondering if there will be a shootout
just found it
The rules for overtime change in the medal round:
In the quarterfinals, semifinals and bronze-medal game, a 10-minute overtime period is played if there is a tie in regulation. If the game is still tied at the end of that OT period, it goes to the same shootout procedure as above.
Should the gold-medal game end regulation tied, a 20-minute overtime period is played. If there is still no winner at the end of the 20 minutes, the shootout procedure is the same.

woops and the above that is referenced is
No games can end in a tie at the World Junior championship. If the game is tied at the end of regulation during the preliminary round, there is a five-minute overtime followed by a shootout, if no winner is decided in extra time. The shootout is initially three rounds. If there’s still no winner after the first three rounds of the shootout, any player from either team can shoot as many times in order to break the tie.
