Awake In A Grave You Dug Yourself - Hawks 2, Pens 2 (Hawks win Bocce Ball)

I refuse to give the Hawks too much credit for needing to go to a shootout against what's basically an ECHL team at this point, but the fact of the matter is that things are so dire that points can't really be argued with at all now. Given that this was an inter-conference game, that it became a three point game is immaterial to the goings on out west, but Calgary trapping Montreal under ice certainly didn't help matters.
The Hawks came out firing in the first- again, not difficult to do against a team missing two of the best 5 players in the world. That Sidney Crosby is still 3rd in goals and 5th in points after missing over a month shows just how much he was running away with the scoring race when his gray matter got liquefied. Patrick Sharp notched his 31st culminating a very nice passing play from Toews and Niklas Hjalmarsson, but the Hawks couldn't build on it, though Sharp's double minor high sticking call against Brooks Orpik didn't help matters.
The longer the Hawks went without opening things up on the scoreboard even though the shot totals mounted, the more it felt like Pittsburgh was going to get back into things, and indeed that's what the case was during a clown shoes power play where turd burglar (he burgles all the turds) Matt Cooke took a feed from Max Talbot and drew the Pens even.
Bryan Bickell was once again allowed about six full beats to get his shot off and was able to pick his corner from the right wall on one that Marc-Andre Fleury would like to have back. And once again, the Hawks were unable to protect a 3rd period lead, allowing long time Chicago Wolf Brett Sterling to cash in on a rebound that Corey Crawford left laying in the crease after Tyler Kennedy walked around and dropped his shoulder on ersatz Norris winner Duncan Keith.
A late power play was nullified by Matt Cooke taking a dive on a Hossa back check, and we got to see rare 3 on 3 hockey in the extra frame. The Hawks had their chances, outshooting the Pens 3-0 before the slap fight began. Corey Crawford stood tall and got some help from the post on Pascal Dupuis, and Slim Shady notched the only necessary goal. Hawks win 3-2.
Observations
- There's no rest for the mediocre, as the Hawks will head immediately down to St. Louis who just gave the Ducks every inch and then some of a 9-3 porking with new additions Chris Stewart and Kevin Shattenkirk. Think they're not going to be just as juiced for tomorrow's game? Think again. Also, Fels will be fraternizing with the enemy, attending with St Louis Game Time overlord Sean Gallagher. If you see him there, buy him a beer, he'll need it.
- Seriously, let's be done with these pairings. They're not accomplishing anything.
- However, the retooled lines 2-4 looked pretty productive, as Jake Dowell did not look out of place taking shifts on the third line, and Ryan Johnson, even still not seeing straight is an improvement over John Scott. Tomas Kopecky even looked competent for a few brief moments, but again, it was on the fourth line.
- Sharp with a slap shot on a breakaway and telegraphing his move in the shootout. Someone get this man a couple new moves in the repertoire.
- Michael Frolik had probably his most active game in the Indian Head, but has still yet to get on the scoresheet.
- That Jordan Staal puck to the face looked like it hurt just a touch.
- It seemed like after every whistle Derek Engelland went out of his way to pick on such noted tough guys as Patrick Sharp and Dave Bolland. Though, to be fair, that does work out better most of the time than that "playing hockey" thing does for him.
- God I fucking hate Matt Cooke.

Woo hoo 2 points
I don’t need my game to look pretty, I just want the wins. The boys may give me a heart attack, but we’re not going to get anywhere in the standings if we don’t get the points. I’ll take this nasty game any day.

me too!
As much as the DLR games are nice, I love a close game where I’m on the edge of my seat. Even better if we win! My sister lives below me and had guests during the game, I’m sure they think I"m a lunatic. :)
I hate that we gave up a shortie, I REALLY hate that we gave it up to Matt Fucking Cooke. God. Why him?
Also, Crawford looks like a badass in that pic for some reason.

Yah, we’ll have to pay the kid his ransom that he’ll most likely require at season’s end. If anything, for 3 straight years it’s been a revolving door as the ‘Hawks starting netminder and it would be nice (for a change) if that didn’t happen.

No more UFA goaltenders for this guy, especially with Anderson most likely never making that list.
Maybe signing a guy like Theodore as Crawford’s backup next season (which would give Salak more seasoning) would be a solid option.

difference
one difference is that i don’t believe that crawford has the arbitration hammer. so they won’t have to go through that process with him.
Look at the schedule in March...
the DLR days are coming. In fact, the way the ‘Hawks have played the last three games they’re most certainly coming soon. Not a lot of “puck luck” has to come the ’Hawks way, unless you count the Bickell goal.
Was sooo hoping that Toews could’ve finished that play off in the second. Just nicked the crossbar.

Frolick might dent the score sheet if he took his blinders off
Shortly after bickells goal he had the puck on the right wing with Brouw cocked, ready, and wide open in the slot. Not sure how he missed him but that would have made it 3-1. Shot it right at fleury instead. He’s clearly an upgrade over Skille and Kop, but boy he sure seems to be fighting it.

Hell yes!
Best part about this season thus far is the fact we may have a goalie that will stick around, outside of that I haven’t found many positives. But hey, for looking as helpless and apathetic as can be for parts of a season, at the very least we are in a playoff hunt.

But a look at the standings had me wondering why I wrote this season off after the loss against the BJ’s. Yes, we need to put a win streak together, but after today we only find ourselves two points out if sixth and most teams have at least a game in hand. Why was I about to jump again…?

Well for what it's worth.
As of right now, by means of heads up play the Hawks hold the tie breaker over the Kings, Ducks, and Wild. Of course we still have games remaining against some of these teams but it is something to add to the glimmer of hope.
And as “cheap” or “nasty” as today’s win was. I’ll take it and the two points that come with it. While things are still on the bleak side, I hope today’s win can set the pace for at least a small run of 4 or 5 in a row.
Pretty much everyone looked decent today with minimal lapses (Kop being the exception, what is the deal with him and that damn helmet always coming off)?
Anyway, it’s on to St. Louis for what is sure to be another nail biter. On a side note, I read that the Hawks were looking at Mark Stuart from the Bruins as a possible trade, I don’t know how much truth is involved, but I just wanted to see if anyone else had heard about it, and if anyone had any thoughts on Mark Striet from the Isles. He seems like he could be a decent cheap addition. I know he has some offensive skills just didn’t know how his D is.
Enjoy the victory everyone & Go Hawks!!!
II Can Finally Die Happy Now!
Cheap?
Streit makes 4.1 mil a year and is signed for 2 more years after this one. He’s also more of a puck mover, of which we seem to have a plethora. He also hasn’t played in a game this year and might never regain his old form due to a pretty serious shoulder injury (we know how those things heal, right?)
Mark Stuart already got traded, to the Thrashers.

Streit is a hell of a player, and actually has a manageable cap hit for what he brings, just not for this team.

You all need to read the Book of Job
I don’t know Sam, but his epistle seemed to me to have been born of despair, written in a cloak of reason so as not to betray the depth of his suffering.
Faith is tested every game, and this season, with the Salary Cap having fallen upon the land, and the death of all the cattle, and with the boils, and the disappearance of the second line, Sam reached the point where he finally cursed the day he was born, along with the play of Leddy and others, yea even the great Keith.
Redemption and deliverance are not possible without small fractures of faith. “The Hawk giveth, and the Hawk taketh away, blessed be the name of Hawk.” Verily, remember you this, and carry not bitterness or doubt in your hearts, and thou shalt be granted at least a seventh seed, more likely than not.

few things
1) I’m not one for violence, but god I would have loved it if someone slipped and “accidentally” decked Cooke
2) Glad Staal was able to turn his head before the puck got him in face. Don’t want to imagine whhere he would have been hit otherwise
3) I’ll take the points. I don’t give a shit how they are earned and against who, as long as we get them
4) One of the commentators said that the top was stacked and it was problematic because we all the lines weren’t productive. Not sure what to do otherwise – when the lines looked different we weren’t scoring. I’d like to have at least one line that can put it in the net, and hopefully the rest will pick up.

thoughts on today's game
Ryan Johnson looked good on face-offs. I think he might have an edge on John Scott overall.
Frolik looked better- baby steps.
The more I see of Leddy, the more I think: was Boynton sooo bad? The kid’s gonna be ok, but the Hawks can’t afford so many mistakes right now.
we are the people our parents warned us about
I dont have a problem with Leddy right now given the altenatives
But him playing with head-up-his-ass-Keith is not doing the team or Leddy any favors.

Leddy again?
A 19 year old with under 20 NHL games under his belt is better than a 30+ year old with much more NHL experience. He’s smarter with the puck, he’s quicker on his skates, he has a better hockey IQ, and he’ll play the puck over the body when it’s the better alternative. He’’ll make rookie mistakes, sure. What’s Boynton’s excuse?
Johnson is waaaaaaay better than Scott, just like Leddy is a God amongst men compared to Boynton.
for the record
that’s the first time I’ve ragged on Leddy. Like I said, he’s gonna be ok, but he’s pulling multiple doozies every game.
and I can’t believe you didn’t see the flashing, red, bold sarcasm font on my John Scott comment.
we are the people our parents warned us about
I apologize
It’s just that it seems after every game, at least one person bashes Leddy for something or other, whether we win or lose. I know you don’t do it usually.
I caught the sarcasm on Scott. Figured it’d be a good comparison for Leddy v. Boynton.
I don't think anyone thinks Leddy's terrible, though.
Isn’t it more that most people think he’d be better off in Rockford right now than here?
by Katherine215 on Feb 20, 2011 10:30 PM CST up reply actions
But why?
The main argument has always been “he’ll get more ice time in Rockford.” He’s getting top pair minutes in Chicago. He’s obviously more than capable of handling Rockford’s top pair minutes if he’s doing this well against real professionals. All he’s really lacking now is a bit of adjustment to the NHL speed and physical maturity and size, but that comes with age. He’ll fill into his body as he ages.
I understand defensemen usually take longer to mature, but Keith, Seabrook, Hjalmarsson…all d-men that started off in the NHL at an early age, making rookie mistakes with flashes of brilliance, just like Leddy. Look at them now. What team wouldn’t want them?
I don't think it's fair to compare
Leddy starting in the NHL to Keith and Seabs starting at an early age. They started because the team sucked and was practically an AHL team anyway. They weren’t trying to win anything 2005 or 2006.
I don’t think he’s done that wonderful of a job handling top pair minutes here. He hasn’t been bad, but he’s made mistakes while with Keith, and we’re already getting plenty of that from Keith as it is. Plus, if one of our main concerns is size and physicality, what are we doing with a scrawny 19 year old? Let him grow into his body in Rockford where they’re not struggling to reach the playoffs. Cullimore was fairly serviceable while he was here, and having him partnered with a speedier Hendry isn’t the end of the world.
Again, this is not a knock against Leddy, but more a knock on how the team has managed him.

Re: Leddy
I thought he made some errors today, but made up for it with his willingness to engage physically and offensively – something Brian Campbell was absent in once again.
If anything, Soupie has been a train wreck defensively in the last two games with his pinch that led to the 3rd Columbus goal and today running into his goaltender while leaving Sterling unattended to pot the tying goal. Not happy at all.

Soupy's just looked off
for more than two games… but he may be turning it around — today wasn’t as terrible, I thought (I was also trying to do work during the game so I might not have noticed)
LOL
Johnson may have an edge on John Scott. Thanks, Cliff. I laughed out loud at that.
39 years of pain (1971 loss to Habs) vaporized by one OT goal.
Shooter
I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for Sharp to develop mad skillz with the puck. He’s really, really good at finding open spots and hitting the net, but he’s not the type that’s going to leave a goalie pantsless with his stickhandling. They seriously need to move him down the batting order in shootouts.
Agreed.
Why isn’t Bolland thrown into the shoot-out mix? He completely destroyed goalies (Luongo) in the playoffs last year. He deserves a chance at least.
Yah, I agree with you there. The Fabulous Weapon would be nice choice in the extra point session.

Stalberg
Stalberg is a beast on the shoot-out. He uses his speed and gets in on the goalie in about 2 seconds. No weaving in and out, meandering to the goal with Stals. It’s all afterburners and backhanders.
No, really.
That's true
and he did win a SO for us earlier in the year. I’d definitely rather see him or Bolland than Sharp.

Left out of this conversation is our 68 million dollar man Marian Hossa.....
Id like to see him in the Top 3 over Sharpie
Detroit Red Wings - Green Bay Packers - Minnesota Twins : Axis of Evil
I wonder what his percentage is
I feel like it might not be very good but I don’t really have a basis for that. Does he convert a lot of breakaways? Besides his first Hawks game.
by Katherine215 on Feb 21, 2011 9:48 AM CST up reply actions
No. He was the Wings closer in the shootouts when he was in DET though. Beat the Hawks in one of the games.....
I just think Sharp isn’t working and Hossa seems to be the next logical step…
Detroit Red Wings - Green Bay Packers - Minnesota Twins : Axis of Evil
Hossa is career 14 for 39 (35.9%)
his percentage is higher than Sharp’s, so there’s no reason to not try him out.
Stals is is 100% but that’s because he’s only been in the shootout once in his career. Same could be said about Seabs. ;)
Pisani hasn’t been in many shootouts, but he’s 6 for 14 in his career, so I’d be interested to see that happen.
from what I've seen
Hoss has been unimpressive in the shootout. He’s got two moves, low to the stick side or five hole. Jonny makes a living going five hole, but he has shown the threat of a sweet deke and then going top shelf on the forehand.
I’d love for him to prove me wrong though.

I'm Abe Froman, and I approve this message.
plus he had that amazing 3-bar!

He’s like Brett Hull. Great at one-timers and cross crease shots … just not on breakaways at times. But he did quite well on Mason Friday Night if I remember correctly.

Bolland was a pure scorer in Juniors
He has the hands on break aways from what I remember him doing. He is actually pretty good at it. Better then Sharp who is terrible career wise in the SO.
Bolland's been in 4 shootouts during his NHL career
hasn’t converted on a single one. I think Bolly thrives on the back-pressure of SHGs.
More from the Kool-Aid brigade
The East sucks, it has sucked for the past three years, it gets basically no mention, and it pisses me off.
Comparing this year’s team to last year’s is unfair. How about 2 years ago? Oh- still not close. That team never fell below a 100 point clip after Halloween (note to self- we HAVE been spoiled.)
How about 2007-08? Did you know: the 2007-08 Hawks finished with 88 points, in a 3-way tie for 9th, 3 points out of the playoffs.
Did you further know: the 2009-10 (last year) Flyers also finished with 88 points, good for 7th and a trip to the post-season!
Did you also know: the 2010-11 Hawks are “on pace” to reach 91.7 points this year? The league average is 91.5. Over in the East, Carolina, on track for 87.5, is in 8th, with a couple point cushion on Buffalo. Sigh.
So yes, this team, which is driving its fans to gut themselves with fish knives, is average. And 92 points probably doesn’t cut it in the West. I can’t help but wonder how different the mood might be if this same team were in the East.
Back to 2007-08. Ah, the halcyon days. That team had Toews Kane Sharp Keith and Seabrook. They had other guys too, but that’s your top five. Just look at ’em. They were so young!
After 59 games, that team had 60 points (versus 66 for our heroes this year.) That team, which collectively couldn’t get into a bar, put up 28 points in the last 23 games.
The Hawks didn’t make the playoffs, but it was a fucking blast. There were no abnormal reports of dog punting or (maybe disappointingly) cat-hurling-out-of-windows.
If this team can do what those shavers did down the stretch, the Hawks land on 94, and damn, that better be enough. /shakes fist at East.
Something tells me there is a good likelihood the Hawks land right around here, e.g. current pace plus a little drawdown at the bank of karma, as masterfully illustrated by CNS.
They don’t even have to play better than they have, just get a little sumpin sumpin from Lady Luck (first withdrawal- today.) If they do pick it up, 96 or 97 points should not be that hard.
The sad thing is, if this likely scenario unfolds, the mood of Hawks fans will be nothing like what it was three years ago.
I’ve already heard “They might squeek in, then exit early.” in a kinda “What’s the point of that?” tone. This, I don’t get.
I say- just get in, Hawks and let’s see. And let’s enjoy the ride a little.

MIZ
Marginal Ice Zone.
Between the open water of the Arctic, North Atlantic and North Pacific Oceans, and the Pack ice is a region called the MIZ. It is made up of lose pieces of ice, that move with the action of the Sea. The ice parts can be large or small, and may eventually lead to open Ice pieces known as Ice Bergs. From an acoustic standpoint, the MIZ is much louder than the open ocean ambient noise environment where wave, shipping, wind and biologic make up most of the sound, and the Pack Ice region where ambient noise is very low, made up of sparse biologics and cracking ice (that sounds creepier than shit!). The MIZ is very loud comparitivley due to the increased noise level caused by the loose ice colliding against each, exaggerated even more in heavy seas, and increased biologic activity due to the boundary it forms from two distinct masses of water..

I'm disappointed that Kaner is not mentionned in the recap.
I thought he had a pretty good game. McLure forgot him but he started the play on the first goal even if he didn’t get an assist.
And goalies start to know that Toews almost always goes five hole. Before he shot today they showed Craig Adams tip Fleury on Hawks players and I’m pretty sure I read “five hole” on his lips.

I gotta ask.
Do opponents better “stick up fpr” their goalies when there is are borderline loose pucks and offensive players are jabbing at the goalie trying to dislodge the puck and score?
Seems to me the Hawks’ D rarely really bash an opponent in those sit’ns. The Hawks on the other hand are being hammered and crosschecked regularly with nary a penalty called.
Maybe I’m wrong though. Whatcha think?
"Yet you skate like you think wearing it is enough."
