A Jumble On Both Sides: Jackets at Hawks Preview/Pregame Thread/Work Do

THE HOPELESS: Jackets Cannon

There's a fair amount of change on both sides tonight.

Let's start with our side. Due to Patrick Sharp's wrist putting him out of diaper-changing duty (and that could be a joke about Kaner. but I'll let you decide), the Hawks have a fair amount of line shuffling. Ben Smith was called up this morning, and at the morning skate was on the second line with Marian Hossa and Michael Folik. Either Fro or Optimus Grind could thrash about in the middle as Hossa bemusedly looks on. Honestly, I thought Fro had a pretty good game on Sunday even if he only managed an assist. He was backchecking like his career depended on it, which it probably does, and was everywhere in the offensive zone -- though that's not always a good thing. Getting shifts with Hossa could see Smith look somewhat...well, apparent, which he didn't in his last stint here. If he does, expect confetti to come spilling out of the pressbox.

The top line remains the Daydream Nation-Rattlehead combo, but I expect things to shuffle all night. While it can be frustrating at times, a game against Columbus is an excellent platform to try out all your toys in every formation. I think we'd all like to get a look at Jimmy Hayes with 19 and 88, but he'll start on the fourth line with Mayer and Brunette. Andrew Shaw takes Frolik's spot on the checking line. The defense should remain the same, though you know those big bad Jackets and their overbearing style might call for John Scott to police. Yeah, I wrote that with a straight face. Just to see if I could. Oh wait, there's the retching. Damn it. Thought I was really going to make it this time.

On the other side, the Jackets finally put down their lame horse of a coach in Scott Arniel yesterday, which could be filed in the "two months late" folder. I believe this is the third time this season that the Hawks will play a team in its first game under a new coach, having welcomed Ken Hitchcock back to the league in St. Louis and getting worked and beating the Ducks in their first game under Fuckin' Bruce Fuckin' Boudreau. Feel free to correct me in the comments if I'm wrong

Usually, when playing a team that has just changed coaches you worry about every opponent coming out with a wild hair on their ass to try and secure jobs under the new guy. Not convinced that will be the case tonight. The Jackets season ran aground before the pumpkins were even out on the porch. They've only promoted an assistant who was already there in Todd Richards, and he may be a boob anyway. This is also the last game of a four game trip for the Jackets, and they may just be looking forward to getting home and getting to the real work with Richards.

Oh, and they suck to high heaven, so any effort level might not make a difference.

Add to that they're beat up. The Duke Twins of Jeff Carter and James Wisniewski are both out tonight, because they're doing that thing they both do where they get hurt a lot. Mark Letestu won't be around either, and neither will Kristian Huselius. Rick Nash is also hobbling with a case of "I could give a flying about this group so I'm just going to sit here and count my money until Brian Burke calls". It's really affected his game.

No need to over-analyze this one. As long as the Hawks don't take it for granted, it'll be quite the task to not come away with two points. They've flattened this team three times this season. But who here can guarantee the Hawks will bring their full attention? After an emotional and draining cock-up against Detroit, the Hawks seemed primed for yet another letdown. But with Sharp out, some players need to come in fuck you mode. Looking at you, Mr. Humpty Hump. Though 88 hasn't been as bad as the Italian beef soaked would have you believe, the biggest way to survive the Sharp absence is to get a dominating and sneering Patrick Kane back. While Hossa has still continued to accumulate points, a couple more I'm Marian Hossa and you're not moments would be welcome.

Need a win this month. You couldn't get a more hanging curveball than this one to get it.

Did the 'Hawks play the Ducks in Boudreau's first game behind their bench?

I’m not sure about that – I think that Carlyle was fired just a few days after the Friday-after-Thanksgiving match-up in which the ‘Hawks entered the 3rd period trailing 4-2 but managed to squeak out a 6-5 win and it was about 2 1/2 weeks until the ’Hawks and Ducks played again. So yeah, I don’t think that the ‘Hawks were Boudreau’s first opponent from behind the Ducks bench

Nice preview as

Always…i kno it is somewhat blasphemy to read it but i was just at hockeybuzz and read JJ’s hawks article,where he claims a team offered the hawks a young gritty forward for dave bolland and the hawks said no way…donno whether he is just blowing smoke up our asses or not but it sounds interesting that the hawks wouldn’t give up bolland…i remember someone over at hockey buzz once asking who was marlboro 72,laughed my ass off!

by Special Agent Dale Cooper on Jan 10, 2012 3:24 PM CST via mobile reply actions

Say what you want about Bolly in regular season.

it is 100% true he has a history of just not being there in the regular season – long scoring droughts, period of rough play, injuries, etc…

the guy is a killer come playoff time. If he starts to not show up in the post season, people around the hawks will really turn sour on him, but he’s produced for the last two post seasons in a big way.

by oregon_hawk on Jan 10, 2012 3:27 PM CST up reply actions

Totally agree

With you,he has been very good in the post season,and as long as he produces in april they won’t move him…still eonder then eho they trade for and who will they send packing?

by Special Agent Dale Cooper on Jan 10, 2012 3:32 PM CST via mobile up reply actions

Most fans don't appreciate the defensive type players.

But JJ and the meathead side of that forum don’t even know what defensive players are. JJ still pines that the best defensive player the Hawks had was Buf. I kid you not, Buf was his definition of a defensive player. Drove me nuts when I bothered to read that site.

And is anyone really surprised that the Hawks aren’t going to trade one of there only two natural centers for some unknown “gritty” forward? Might be a shock over there but really?

And as for the “Bolland only shows up for the playoffs, did people saying that watch him last season?” If you weren’t happy with Bolland and Bickell last season then there really isn’t any hope you will ever appreciate defensive forwards.

by DaleHalas on Jan 10, 2012 3:56 PM CST up reply actions

I suppose "just not being there" could easily be interpreted to mean that

but really what I meant to say is the second half of that sentence in my post – in the regular season, he has long scoring droughts and is fairly injury prone.

Last season, for example, he was absent from the scoresheet for a large part of the early going, if my memory serves correctly. While I can appreciate defensive forwards, and indeed, bolland is high on my list of favorite forwards, existing up above the 3m mark in salary means scoring is expected, in my book. “He’s a world class defensive forward” doesn’t excuse him from long droughts.

And again, as long as he shows up in the post-season… i don’t care all that much, and i think no one should care, what he does in the regular season.

by oregon_hawk on Jan 10, 2012 4:04 PM CST up reply actions

I'm with you

I don’t care what Dave Bolland does in the regular season as long as 1. We make the playoffs and 2. We get playoff rat back. Besides, I don’t think we would want him to be 100% rat all the time or people might catch on to his rat ways.

It's simple....Kane and Bolland need to step up big time

The second half of this season is, schedule wise, a heckuva lot tougher than the first. It is time for Kane and Bolland to start playing like “core” players and deliver. No more complicated than that. Toews and Hossa are doing what they do, and ditto the top 4 defensemen. All the complementary players need to step up, but by far the biggest imperative is on Kane and Bolland.

I think Salo was positioning himself to wall-paper Marchand.

It didn’t work out in his favour. Personally, I hate the chicken shit “ducking” of a hit because it can be dangerous. Slipping a hit is one thing, ducking a hit (particularly near the boards) has always been a no-no in my books. The chirping from the bench of the team that got “ducked” was always pretty strong as I remember.

Therefore, I would’ve probably looked at Raymonds hit as a suspension too (if it was even considered a suspension worthy offense last year). Either way, both are cheap IMO.
