That'll Do, Pig: Canes 2 - Hawks 5

Somewhere during the 3rd, I thought to myself that if this game had taken place in early March or late February of last year, it would have been just another ho-hum win that the Hawks chalked up against an inferior opponent (sorry Canes fans, but you are what you are). This year? Well, perhaps earlier I would have thrown a small bitch but even that wouldn't be warranted. And with another game tomorrow night against a suddenly-tasty Leafs squad, this will do just fine. It's a win. It's not bad, it's not glad, it's not worthless, it's not a marker, it's just the absolute middle path of a win. And that's seven of them in a row. So who's to complain?
Thoughts:
-There aren't even that many of them tonight. So let's start with the Hawks winning 71% of the draws. Jake Dowell went 11-1. Jake Dowell! Sadly, Bolland could only manage 50%.
-Maybe the points accumulated don't show it, but I like this Michael Frolik. He's not the biggest, so he'll get knocked off the puck on occasion, but he's active and everywhere and has shown no signs of being afraid of anything. He's got some goofy linemates at the moment -- though he and Brouwer would make total sense with an actual center -- but this is hardly a bad pickup.
-Noticed Chris Campoli for the first time tonight, and it was on his end-to-end rush where he beat three guys to release Ryan Johnson for his fortunate goal. Um, yeah, that'll work all right.
-Duncan Keith had a real goofy moment in the 2nd, where under pressure he came up with the idea of letting loose the puck in the slot, but the Canes didn't manage a shot on goal in the flurry so whatever.
-My god is Eric Staal a house.
-Patrick Sharp was nearly culpable for a shorthanded goal against when he didn't come close to working hard enough to retrieve a loose puck, and that's a pretty big crime when Erik Cole is out there.
-The first goal against was a problem of no one covering Hammer's point when he pinched and also Seabrook handing Hammer a complete hand grenade of a pass, "Here dude, I know you're skating towards the blue line with a Cane draped all over you but let's see what you can do."
-It's pretty apparent that Turco needs to start tomorrow.
- That's the most I can squeeze out of this. It was a game in early March, the Hawks won, can you say more about it?\
PLAYER OF THE GAME
Bryan Bickell. Yeah, goal and assist, but more importantly he hopefully learned that the promise land is in front of the net, where he scored his goal.

Great game!
Hawks really turned it on in the third period…Campoli looked great on that rush, actually he looked a lot like Brian Campbell lol!
They have another big game tonight, damn the stars and ducks for goin into OT, enough of the 3 point games already…..Dont like the fact that people are mentioning the HAWKS catching DETROIT, the HAWKS still have a very very tough schedule…..Bickell finally went to the front of the net….and there was much rejoicing….yaaay!(sarcastically)
by Special Agent Dale Cooper on Mar 5, 2011 5:44 AM CST reply actions
the HAWKS still have a very very tough schedule
11 away, 6 home - in the very last 17 games.

I don't think the circus trip helps a whole lot either
Damn that thing – screws up both the Hawks and Bulls every farking year. But hey, the teams need the revenue, riiiiight?
good news is that
the Hawks have been every bit as good on the road this year. Up until the recent streak, their home record was dismal.
let's get Detroit...
Don’t care how hard our schedule is. Three of those tough games are against Detroit, which has been less than stellar lately. Win 2 of 3 against them and we only have to make up 5 more points to make up over 14 tames. Very doable.
I'll bet all the "top seeds"
are happy we’re playing so well lately.

I was a huge Skille fan...
…but Frolic is a huge upgrade over Jack. Very good with the puck,,,,,even better with out the puck. His back checking is becoming contagious.
Brouwer was huge last night
Bickell needs to be infront of the net . period.
Loved our abilty to clear our zone in a heart beat.
Campoli -Frolic-Johnson…..Yes Stan, you dun good!
"Trying is the first step towards failure" Homer Simpson
Ditto for BadgerDano
I can’t complain about that frolicking Frolic over Badger Skillz.
39 years of pain (1971 loss to Habs) vaporized by one OT goal.
Frolik looks good in both ends.
I never noticed him playing center. Could he be the 2nd line center we need with a lot of work in the off season? He seems like a high ability guy. Even giving him 2 mil a year would be a bargain for that slot.
Not a center
Frolik has been pretty vocal about not wanting to play center, pretty much strictly a winger. Consider the fact that Frolik only took 35 face-offs for the Panthers last year and only won 37% of them, I think its safe to say he is not the answer to our problems. Frolik is about as much qualified for the center position as TomoKop is (and we all know how that has worked out this year).

So ...
according to Sports Club Stats we’re supposed to root for the Red Wings, Sharks and Canucks tonight. Fuck you internet.
How Bout...
Rooting for the Hawks and let the other teams beat each other up. I for one always root against the Wings unless it happens to come down to one important game. At this point the Hawks are in and everything is in their hands.
Definitely rooting for the Yotes over Detoilet tonight.
We’ve got games in hand on Phoenix to take back any ground they gain with a win. Plus, any loss by Scum is a good loss, especially when it makes the possibility of catching them for the division a little more tangible.
I may be tempting the hockey gods a bit here and the upthread admonition not withstanding, but the division thing is there. It will take continued excellence by our men of Four Feathers and probably some good fortune in the form of timely losses by others, but it’s out there. I think we and the team should embrace it, own it and enjoy the thrill of the chase. It’s better to be the hunter than the hunted.
"Against logic there is no armor like ignorance."
- Laurence J. Peter
Agree Completely...
There is plenty of time to catch the Wings/Scum. It may not happen but the Hawks need to win their games regardless and let the other teams scratch and claw. Hawks and scum are even in GP and a win today and loss for Scum means a 5 point separation. Take the division boys!!!
I think you said it best in this instance with:
Fuck you internet.
I’m typically a fan of said interwebz, but yeah. If only for today, if only for that one little tidbit of information that you carry with you, only for today.
Fuck you, internet.
FUCK SCUM.
That is all.
Everyone dies. It is the only true and lasting justice in life.
Think Victor might be a lil jacked about returning home tonight???

I watched
The game on delay after a night out and just fast forwarded though a bunch of it, but thought that if this is a playoff team from the east, then the next few games should be relatively easy. The boys seemed to skate circles around them. The game never seemed in question.
They'll have to pry the cup out of our cold, dead hands
We absolutely worked those chumps last night, though.
The Hawks had enough chances to score 10 goals, and even with Cam Ward in net we still would had a sizable lead unless he put his Superman cape on. There’s just very few ways you can lose when you have that much puck time, win that many faceoffs and generate that many chances.

Yeah would've been a whole different game
We gave up a lot of juicy chances up until early in the 2nd, and while I thought Peters had some really good saves, he also gave up a couple of softies. At some point it seemed like the score should be 10-8.

I didn't hear the NHLN folks mispronounce his name
But if they did, they must have taken cue from the Carolina announcers who pronounced it with an emphasis on the second syllable which made it sound very french or something. Cracked me up.

because this aggression cannot stand. I saw something (probably rampant speculation) yesterday that had SCUM going to the EC should a franchise or two move around. In what kind of stupid world does Detoilet not play in the same division (let alone conference) as the Hawks. Is nothing fucking sacred to this chimp?

Nashville to the east makes little sense...
since they’re in the Central Time Zone. Detroit and Columbus are only WC teams in the Eastern Time Zone. Eliminating the Redwing-Hawks rivalry would be a lousy decision, so the only club to consider moving east should be Columbus. I would bet that a strong rivalry could develop between Columbus and Pittsburgh if given the opportunity. Also, if I were making the call, Minnesota would be in the same division as the Hawks. But I’m just a fan so what do I know.

Currently drooling about my own fantasy that next year
the hawks sign sharp to a 3 year contract, steal ladd away from the thrashers in free agency, Morin is healthy and plays up, Brouwer signed(and playing wing opposite of Ladd) and Kopecky, Bickell and Pisani are traded away for draft picks.
Please do not wake me up.
In my dream
the cap goes up about 5 mil next year. Also the Crow signs for only about 2.5mil per year. As much as I like Hossa when he is healthy?, I could deal with losing him if the rest of my wet dream comes true.
Hossa stays
