Time's A Wasted Go: Wild @ Hawks Preview/Pregame Thread/Game of Mafia

@ 
Remember, remember, the 12th of December....
The Minnesota Wild had just completed a seven game winning streak that had catapulted them to the top of the Western Conference standings, and Kyle Brodziak, the team's hottest player, had 7 points during that winning streak. A day later, the Wild suffered a loss in Winnepeg that some assumed was just a blip on the radar. On the second night of their back-to-back set, the Wild hosted the Hawks, the conference's second place team, in a nationally televised statement game for both squads. The Wild overcame two seperate deficits, the second of which coming on a Mikko Koivu tally with just 5 minutes left in the third, and then, this happened. The fact that Kane pulled that move off almost made giving the Wild an extra point worth it.
The Hawks game was the 2nd of what would become an eight game losing streak for the Wild. Since the 12th of last month, the Wild have taken just 7 points in their last 13 games, and find themselves fighting for the 8th seed with Los Angeles and Dallas. With just three points in those 13 games, Kyle Brodziak's slump has mirrored that of his team, as the Wild have only managed 3 or more goals just 3 times in that same time frame.
San Jose acquisitions Dany Heatley and Devin Setoguchi haven't been the offensive shot in the arm that the Wild were looking for when they said goodbye to Brent Burns and Marty Havlat this past off season. Setoguchi missed time due to injury earlier this season, and wasn't able to square off against his former mates in last night's game after getting scratched for going all Ferris Bueller on yesterday morning's team meeting. And then there's former impact forward Dany Heatley......
The Wild potted 4 goals at home vs the Sha-arks last night, but had to scrape out a shootout win after coughing up a 2 goal lead with just three minutes left to play in the final frame. While things aren't exactly humming along for Minnesota these days, they're not exactly the Columbus Blue Jackets either. They're typically stingy in the goals against department (5th in the league @ 2.35), despite their propensity to allow about 32 shots/game to reach their netminders. As the discrepancy between shots against and goals against suggests, the Minnesota goaltending tandem of Niklas Backstrom and Josh Harding has kept the team in most games.
The Hawks enter this game looking for two much needed points before the big Detroit-San Jose back-to-back this weekend. Due to their recent struggles, it'd be nice to assume that the Men of Four Feathers won't be taking these two points for granted and looking ahead to the weekend, but perhaps a goaltending change could help with that issue. Ray Emery gets a somewhat surprising start this evening (despite the fact that he got the win the last time these two teams met), when many assumed that his next start would come on Saturday or Sunday. Razor wasn't bad in his last start in Philly, and was the victim of a tough bounce and some sloppy defensive play. The Wild don't have much of a powerplay, and they don't manage too many shots per game, so if Emery is able to stay in rhythm, he should have a successful evening.
Since I'm writing this the night before, I'm not entirely sure what the Hawks' line combinations will look like, but if they stay the same as what Q ended with on Tuesday, I'll assume that the Hayes-Bolland-Hossa line will see a lot of Seto-Koivu-Heatley. It will be fun to watch (33rd) birthday boy and recently named All-Star, Marian Hossa, get another game to breath some more life into Dave Bolland, while The Jimmy does his power forward thing on the left side. "Jimmy doesn't like Dany Heatley's face, Jimmy wants to pound Heatley into the glass to see if he can break that awkwardly long visor. Jimmy's gonna get his sweet ass in front of Backstrom's face and tuck home a couple of Marian Hossa rebounds."
This could be the type of tight contest in which a powerplay goal could make the difference for the Hawks, but I feel like I say that just about every other home game. Maybe one of these days Q will wise-up and use Steve Montador's cannon of a shot on the left point of the 2nd powerplay unit, as opposed to Dave Bolland looking like a rat out of sewer in that role. Nah, John Scott will become Zdeno Chara before Q consistently goes with all Dmen on the back end of each powerplay unit.
If the Men of Four Feathers don't look ahead to the weekend, this is a home game that a top 3 seed should win coming off of a "two points is two points" effort against the Jackets. Let's go Hawks!

I felt initially that Weiland was trying to be Vedder clone
following Pearl Jam’s success. So I had a bit of contempt for them. But that feeling eventually went away as STP progressed. Don’t get me wrong, I like a lot of their tunes. I still love Big Empty (loved The Crow soundtrack).
And it’s funny you mention Alice in Chains. I always preferred them to STP.

The first 7 songs on that album
Really make the last 8 kinda a let down.
Small OT: Saw the Peppers up at Summerfest in Milwaukee right after Californication came out. Foo Fighters opened for them. It was POURING RAIN. We had pavilion seats so we didn’t get drenched. Anyways, the Chili Peppers closed with Naked in the Rain. I’ll let you use your imaginations as to why that probably remains the single greatest concert I’ve ever been to.

james; “and now we will do one last jam for you…wearing a chicago blackhawks jersey..my god, isn’t that crazy. that’s a rather strange looking rock n roll garment you got there. it goes well with your skirt there.”
and
billy: “i think it goes without saying that chicago is the greatest place on the planet…i would like to see a winning hockey team again. a winning basketball team again…”
and then he says some stuff about the baseball teams but that doesn’t need to be repeated here. either way, it only took ~10 years but they’ve both finally started winning. and he didn’t even mention the bears.

I was there with 3 other friends
We couldn’t get tickets together that weren’t in the far back part of the 300 level, but we managed to get tickets in 4 different sections in like…104, 106, 107 and 108 or something like that. Totally worth it as one of my friends ended up having an empty seat next to her anyways.

I have friends that grew up with her that still kinda keep in touch with D'arcy
(through whom I originally met her). I did see her mug shot last year from that horse incident (horses got lose). I don’t even know that person. My friends say she’s basically a recluse now and hard to even follow in conversation. It’s a shame, but she was always a bit out there. She got into robo’ing before shows in ’93. Then she got into harder drugs…

Yeah, stiff, because the UC would otherwise be completely dead on a Friday night, just before New Years Eve, against Scum. If I didn’t really like my TV I would have thrown something through it.

Depends what the Isles want, of course.
But assuming the prospect cost isn’t not too steep I’m for it. His cap hit is friggin’ $0.5, so you could get him and a d-man and still have money left over. And he’s 27, most of the UFA guys are ancient.
And he’s absolutely nails at shootouts. Career 59 goddamn percent. Nobody else with 20 attempts is over 52. I hate the damn shootout, but if it’s there, might as well take the free points.
He supposedly is a strong player in many areas.
I guess my gut wants a little more ‘shock and awe.’
I’m not saying this would be the worst thing in the world, but I still think someone with a little more offensive jazz would be better.
I do stuff for CheerTheAnthem
smarter hockey minds than I
have suggested that Nielsen could be a fit if the Hawks are interested in dealing bolland and overhauling the checking line. I love a lot of things that Bolland has done in the Indianhead, but I’m not completely opposed to that idea.
This is Hack in the Pork Chop Express, and I'm talkin' to whoever's listenin' out there.
It would have to be one hell of an overhaul to make it better sans Bolland.
I should clarify, I’m opposed to brining in Nielsen if the idea is to make him our 2C. As a 3rd center it doesn’t seem so egregious. Now, if they make Bolland the 2C and had Nielsen the 3C I could see this working.
I guess they could bring him in right now as the 2C and move Bolland out and make Nielsen the 3C next year. All sorts of possibilities.
I do stuff for CheerTheAnthem
although if we're going to overhaul the checking line
(CNS and DaleHalas cringe) can we at least start with a center that will win 50+% of his draws? Nielsen is no better than Bolland in that department.
This is Hack in the Pork Chop Express, and I'm talkin' to whoever's listenin' out there.
If not for Toews

I’m not strongly opposed. My arguments haven’t been that the 3rd line has been exceptional, just that many seem to ignore how they’re being used this year.

If we can somehow acquire Mark Streit in that same deal

Where are you trying to go? There’s one that goes east down Madison after the game. It’s the #20 bus. If you’re trying to go north/south, the Damen or Ashland buses work. However, you’ll wait a while.

We’re outscoring our horrific team defense issues.
But just barely.
Blackhawks bleed Red & White.
We are all Canucks...including Toews, Sharp, Keith, Seabrook, ...need I go on?
This is one of those games that Chicago needs to win.
They’re the better team, and they can’t leave 2 points on the table with a ho-hum effort.
Cause they’re going to be playing Detroit, San Jose and Vancouver soon, and even top-notch efforts might not be enough against those teams if the bounces or refs dont happen to go the team’s way.
Take the 2 points.

The Wild are not playing nearly as "strong" as they were the last time the Hawks played them.
Even with Shooter out, the Hawks should easily win this game. Since the last time they met the Wilds GAA has gone from 2.10 to 2.44 while their GFA has dropped from 2.58 to 2.35. They are not scoring and are letting in goals.
They have a GF-GA-L score of -19 on pace for -39. Only 53.33% of teams since 2003 have made the playoffs with a -39 score.
They appear to be a team that hit some good luck in the opening act, but reality seems to have caught up with them, and a once Conference leading team is now looking at being a bubble team.

So where are those guys that were arguing that MIN was lucky?
And they were going to regress to their mean? And what happened to the opposition group that said the stats guys were stupid for talking about “luck” in hockey? Sustainable numbers and non sustainable numbers? Whatcha talkin bout Willis?
"Luck" was a lose term
I was arguing back then (to you I believe, but not sure) that MIN was overachieving and only small changes would have a large negative outcome in their results. I was at the time calling for a 7-10th WC finish then, and still think the same. They are hurt, I do not see this long shitty streak being the norm either, but I do think it brings the whole picture closer to how the team actually is, a Bubble team at best and not a Conference leader.

There are only a couple-few regular (or semi-regular) skaters I think the Hawks should be willing to trade out, Leddy is NOT one of them. The Hawks should use prospects (limited in number and who) and/or draft choices. You may fill a hole with a new piece, but create a new one at the same time. Leddy would create a hole the Hawks do not have people to fill it with.
