Shawzall
I don’t know how many people here have used or seen a Sawzall. It’s an awesome power saw that basically cuts through anything.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene."
the dang Z is too hard to prounounce with the s at the begginning
it’s got no flow.
But it is a great tool and an apt analogy.
There is a problem with the flow
and I keep reading Sawz-All

Ryan Miller is absolutely destroying me in the Fantasy League
Nothing like your premiere goalie starting your week off with a 12 GAA.
When i read the recap to see what went wrong, I was surprised to read that Drew miller on the Wings is Ryan’s brother.
I feel your pain
I have him on my team as well. Thing is though, our league is run by some no-brains Pens fan that doesn’t allow goalies to gain points for saves. The only way to gain points is from a goalie win (5 points, minus 1 for each goal against) or a shutout (10). It’s a really flawed system that makes goalies nearly useless.
our league awards 1 point for each of the following categories
GAA
SV%
W/L
Shutout
Shutouts are a pretty valuable point.
The league is based on a 10 pt system – with 40% depending on goalie performance.
Think they might be trying to say goaltending’s important?
it's crazy...
in what’s shaping up to be the best year for Amerian netminders in the history of the NHL, Miller has gone AWOL.
On a side note, an American has never won 35+ games, three years in a row. Two guys should achieve that milestone this year (Howard + Quick).

if anyone is likely to go it's him
but how much value could he bring in return? They’ll probably unload Morin and/or Pirri, which would be a shame in Morin’s case, since he’s really not been given much of an opportunity to show what he can do.
Smith is 23, Morin is 20
I’m not saying guys plateau at 23, but I think you’re right that Smith’s game is kind of right there and though he could have a decent career in the NHL, GM’s are not going to value him nearly as high as Morin. Morin at 20 still has the higher upside, and though he might never make it, somebody is going to be willing to gamble.
In terms of the immediate team effect, I’d like to see a lot more of Morin’s game, but Q probably trusts Smith more than Morin.

that which does not kill you
etc, etc. – but it does start to get annoying to have this much competition every year in our own conference.
actually
im excited for our upcoming games against the blues, in particular. i want to see if those guys are for real. they seem to be showing it thus far.
their defense has been smothering...
which has really gone a long way to helping out their goalie situation. They’ll be around, I’m just not so sure they’re built for the playoffs, yet.
The fore-check is just unbelievable
I watched the Blues/ Stars last night. They’re just a little meaner than the Canucks and not quite the skill. They have a ferocious fore-check, are very well coached, and play a great smothering system and will be tough to beat.
And last night, I didn’t think Pierre was the worst broadcaster on the telecast. He provides a lot of insight as to what goes on between the benches that you don’t normally see. One sequence in particular I found highly entertaining… The Stars were starting to figure how to beat the fore-check, Pierre reported how Hitchcock was yelling at his guys to give the low forward some support against the puck carrier. Then he telestrated how they made the on-ice adjustment. It was pretty good stuff- very insightful. Just because he’s known to be a douche, doesn’t mean he always is.
This bothered me: Knifed away from him, _______ with a drive!! And _______ got a piece!! Rinse, repeat. This is basically Emermicks schtick over and over. I like him overall, but he’s to find a away to describe the play with a little more variety.
I think Pierre's insightful
it just gets lost when he’s trying to impress Eddie. “Hey, Edzo, what do you think about ____” a hundred times a night doesn’t leave much room for anything else.

The way he was pronouncing Pietrangelo last night was driving me nuts
For all I know, he was pronouncing it correctly, but it just sounded wrong and annoyed the hell out of me.

Right. I'm with you
When he’s annoying, he’s very annoying. That Edzo crap makes me want to mute the TV. I think last night it was just Doc and him believe it or not. Last night he was pretty good. Really good, actually.
I'm not that excited
because they have some players whose only intent is to seriously injure and/or meathead the crap out of our team. That being said, if anyone wants to put Backes into the 3rd row that’d be just swell!
I actually wonder
if coming from a tough conference and a tough division makes the Hawks chances better, in the playoffs. We’re not used to beating up on a bunch of weak teams, so we know how to compete from the beginning.
all right, this isn't going to be big on dignity
there's that, alright..
“Battle Hardened” going into the playoffs.. however, it also takes a toll and can become “Battle Weary”.. but I think, on a whole probably a good thing.

The President's Trophy thing is maybe a bit overrated
Yea there have been some playoff flameouts. But more often the regular season top team does well in the playoffs.
If we define “well” as reaching at least the final four (conference finals) then 12 of the last 17 President’s Trophy winners have done well in the playoffs. Only 4 of them went all the way, which does feel like fewer than one might expect. But still it’s not as if President’s Trophy winners often crash fast in April.
by Paul the Fossil on Jan 17, 2012 4:55 PM CST up reply actions
I might be wrong, but I would expect that 4 out of 17 is better than any of the other 2-16 seeds. I’m pretty sure it’s the only curse that gives you a better chance of winning.
Yup, I made this argument last season
Until VAN lost, the PT winner also won the Cup 25% of the time, compared to an average of 6.67% for the remaining seeds. Um, yeah, I’ll take that track record. And the Nucks came pretty damn close to raising that number to 30%.
IMO, it just goes to show how difficult it is to win the SC, even if you’re the best team.

"What doesn't kill us makes us stronger"
30 of the Hawks’ 82 games this season are against the following teams: Detroit, St. Louis, Nashville, Vancouver, San Jose, and Los Angeles. That’s 37%, in a league where a few points (or less) can make a huge difference in either seeding or even making/missing the playoffs.
Those 6 teams are either incredibly skilled and/or play tough, defensive-minded hockey. All have good-to-excellent goaltending.
So, yeah, I’d agree with your assessment.

With
Saad, smith, McNeil, Hayes, Shaw, Morin, and Pirri, we have a veritable bevy of young wingers with variable amounts of upside. It makes guys like Frolik and Bickell (and, to some extent, stalberg and kruger) much more expendable than a guy like Olsen, or any other promising defenseman.
I could see, in order of liklihood Frolik/Bicks/Stals/Kruger and/or one or two prospects and/or picks for a better-than-role-player forward.
I find Kruger being shipped out to be incredibly unlikely, given that he is an RFA after his contract, and his upside. Stalberg perhaps more likely, because he is a UFA, older, and could be worth more (though i’m certainly not saying that I personally want stalberg shipped out).
Frolik and Bickell are trade bait…. but i can’t see a whole lot of value there. Bickell is being bickell, and frolik has all but proven he has no scoring touch.
by oregon_hawk on Jan 17, 2012 12:10 PM CST up reply actions
I agree with everything except adding Stalhberg to any trade- he stays.
I know, I know… his stock may never be higher. I got it. But what if? What if this is only a glimpse? What if this confidence and playing with the top line is what his confidence needed for him to get over the hump?
All I know is, DDN has had a crap load of players on their line over the past 3-4 years and short of Patrick Sharp, I don’t know if there has been a player on that line that seemed to gel better than Stahls. Be it Brouwer or whoever. He knows his role and his hands are catching up with his feet.
All I know is… I don’t know if we could pull off a trade that included Stahl that could bring more than what we have with him in the line-up. Whoever it is, I can almost guarantee that he won’t be as fast or as big (he’s 6’3" 210) If we bring in a legit top 6 forward and put Stalhs on another line, he is going to make that line better. Other teams have to respect that kids speed. And if he could break 20+ goals (which is very likely) he’s practically unmovable.
I remember last year he was snake-bit and could buy a goal. Who can forget hitting all 3 posts in a penalty shot? This year is we are getting and seeing what we all hoped he would bring.
While I agree with alot of what you said
You keep adding and “h” to Stalberg or Stals
Why Q, why?!
"Watching a shootout is like admitting you watch Survivor or search the internet for porn."
I agree, Sta(h)l(h)berg is going nowhere
In addition to what you said about him fitting with DDN so well, he’s way too valuable per his cap hit (like that guy who played in Bickell’s body last year). Plus trading him just adds another hole in the top 6. What sense would that make?
OG listed a bunch of guys the Hawks have in the system. Plus Kruger, Hayes I of II, Shaw, and Smith are up already. 3rd-4th line players are pretty cheap on the open market. Hawks have 4 of the 6 top 6 spots filled for the foreseeable future and Stalberg for another season. There’s only room for 1 or 2 prospects in the top 6 for the next few years. It would make sense to trade raw prospects along with one of the aforementioned young players with some NHL experience. You just can’t afford to remove talent from the top 6.
And Bickell would definitely have some trade value. Just because many don’t like him here doesn’t mean another team doesn’t look at his performance from last season and want to give him a shot for the price. His underlying stats from this year actually aren’t as bad as his numbers. His Corsi is great for checking line player. His Sh% is similar to last season but his SOG are half.
And even though he’s considered soft, he averages 2 hits/game. No one other forward is even close, aside from the new guys in a small sample size. Mayers averages 1.45 hits/game. Stalberg, 1.2 hits/game. No one else is over 1 hit/game. (Brunette, 2 hits every 8 games. Bruno needs to “HIT SOMEBODY!!!” amiright?)
Just like the Hawks were willing to overpay for Frolik based on his previous year’s performance, someone’s gonna be licking their chops to get Bickell at $550k.

The reason why Stalberg is so good is because his last name is a mix of Staal and Forsberg.
This is Lepisto hitting rock bottom
Part of a joke trade featuring treats, Scott and Olesz.
The Kane knowing Sharp's pain Article is alarming.
Kane has admitted that he has lost wrist movement due to his “freak” hand injury. So it is very possible that his shooting issues aren’t merely “poor luck” and that he will eventually regress to a better “mean.”
It is possible that he has permanently lost some shooting ability from his injury last year. Which would explain his reticence to shoot in some situations. It’s not just lost confidence but actual lost ability that people are seeing.
I think it still boils down to confidence.
Let’s suppose Kane lost 10% of his shooting efficiency due to lingering problems with the wrist. I propose that a sniper of Kane’s abilities is still — even with that reduced efficiency — better than 85% of the rest of the league. Thus, he’s still a very good shooter, but since he doesn’t have the shot he used to have, he’s lost some confidence in that shot. Once he gets more accustomed to his condition, and realizes that he can still hit the spot with pretty good accuracy and snap, he’ll be fine.
An opinion should be the result of thought, not a substitute for it. (Jef Mallett)
I'm not too worried
He had 7 goals in his first 19 games. That’s a rate of 0.37, nearly identical to what he put up in each of the previous two seasons, and also the best rate of his career so far.
Unless his wrist has gotten worse since the first quarter of the season, I think this is just a bad, prolonged slump.
Since he's a lefty shot
with a left wrist injury, does this affect his shooting as much? I get confused by this, but I thought more of the shot direction was with the top (right, in this case) hand, and the power was with the bottom (left) hand. Yes/no? If yes, then wouldn’t we see more of an issue with his power than with placement, which I thought was more of the problem?
by Katherine215 on Jan 17, 2012 12:48 PM CST up reply actions
My experience says yes
A long time ago, I sprained my wrist. Taking a slap shot was painful enough. Wrist shots were next to impossible for me.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene."
Your shot power is generated much more from your legs and weight transfer than anything to do with the wrists/arms
Having said that, the lower hand on the shaft is the point of conveyance for that weight transfer or “loading” so if you’re lower hand is hurting (or recently broken/sprained) there’s a good chance you’ll subconsciously bale on your shot. It’s the final flick of the wrists (on snapshots or wristshots) that generate the kick and your ability to raise the puck though. I think you can still be accurate along the ice without much wrist action, but anything above ~1 foot requires the flick and follow through.
I would also say that accuracy is extremely dependant on strength. A sore wrist could result in one of two things; take MPH of your shot, or cause you to spend more time loading the shaft. If either one of those occurs your positioning on the ice relative to your target will change more than you can compensate for (assuming you’re in motion) resulting in missed targets, defenders getting a stick on you or goalies covering their angles – all of which will make the player seem out of sorts.
You are next.

No problem
At the end of the day, I think any hand/wrist/elbow/shoulder injury will affect a players shot to an unacceptable level by their own standards although I doubt we’d ever hear much about it ourselves (as fans).

As some who has lost a lot of motion in my right wrist
It does make a huge difference in even every day simple tasks. You learn to compensate for it, but its never the same. I can’t imagine how difficult it must be for an athlete who uses that joint/flexibility/mobility as a huge part of their game.

I'm with you
I see the left hand more an issue on power and raising shot accuracy than on passing accuracy. So I could see the left wrist injury be more of an issue on shooting than passing. And I’m just saying, it might require a lot of time to learn to compensate for this particular injury. And even then Kane might never be the same.
Yeah, I mean it really did happen relatively recently
so its not a stretch to imagine that 1) it isn’t as strong as it was/should be and 2) he hasn’t learned how to work within the limitations yet (even if he says its not a big deal). He may not ever get that mobility back, and like you said may never be the same again, BUT given enough time and work, he can learn how to work around and through it to be just as successful.

Stealing tomorrow's headlines
Here are 30 thoughts. And Suter going to Philly is one that scares me.
Lead writer of nothing, commenter on everything.
curious
It is believed the Blackhawks have some interest in Derick Brassard. Blue Jackets’ GM Scott Howson did say Saturday that Brassard, who is showing new life under Todd Richards, may not be traded after all. (Howson’s mouth turned into a hermetically sealed vault when I asked about Chicago’s interest.) Brassard had a huge blocked shot to preserve a 4-3 win last Friday over Phoenix.
Good choice sir, that's lobster stuffed with tacos
there is no way in Hades
that the Blues are sending us Brassard… they’ll trade him, I reckon, but not to us.
Oh and my favourite..
6. Asked a few Western-based players about what’s making the Blues so tough. Very similar answer from several players: “They are always in the right position.”
Unless it’s Backes playing us, of course…

Once again IMO,
he hasn’t done anything spectacular as a GM. I know he got a lot of praise while being Brian Burke’s assistant in Anaheim when they won the Cup in 2005. One other story I heard about him was that while he was a scout for Vancouver, he and if I remember correctly, the coach of the Canucks’ minor league affiliate (Manitoba?) were the guys that suggested that they sign Burrows who at the time was an undrafted player.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene."
I was just a toddler…but the way I understand it, fans got on Murray a lot when he was here.
Apparently he was something of a scapegoat when things were bad…he played on some awful Hawk teams as well as a few good ones.
I do stuff for CheerTheAnthem
To me, those late 70s Hawk teams sucked
sucked as much if not more than the early 2000 Hawks. Stupid me, I’d still end up going to about 15-20 games a season.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene."
yeah he got the boo - birds on him something fierce
but the mid – 70’s Hawks teams were pretty good – still remember the old RPM line and Dirk was as usual his fantastic self out there.
Murray took a beating from the fans because he was not Doug Wilson
Of course, he was Wilson’s partner and was on the #1 D-pair, #1 PP and #1 PK units

To clarify
What do you have in mind? 3rd pairing, PK skills a must, at least average size and snarl? In a word- Sopel?
I ask because some around here are imagining a bolder stroke, for a top-4 guy to supplant Leddy or Nintendo.
I don’t think a top-4 candidate is very realistic. Look around the league: as a second pairing, I put 4-8 above average league-wide. From that perspective, it’s not any kind of gaping wound on this team.
Leddy on the PK now, and his overall minutes load, are concerns.
Nobody on your list is even as good as Montador, let alone top-4. Kinda depressing.
If we’re agreed on the need the Hawks are trying to fill here, isn’t it also true that a move like this, especially prorated, wouldn’t break the bank, leaving Stan with plenty to splash elsewhere?
We like our people!
I'm looking at Gleason
about the only one that would fit. Not top 4 player but would be a good 5-6th guy who could kill penalties and hopefully get Leddy off the PK
Why Q, why?!
"Watching a shootout is like admitting you watch Survivor or search the internet for porn."
This
In relationship to what the Hawks might be looking for from this list. 5th-6th dman that was a 4th PK guy. Allen, Gleason, Eaton or a Martinek type cap hit. Would not be surprised if the Hawks made a trade for somebody like that.
Considering the cost of “buying” at the trade deadline, I don’t see a top 4 guy coming the Hawks way. I mean it cost the Hawks a second round draft pick just for Campoli last year.
I'm with Cliff...
not interested in any of those guys .. but especially Joe Corvo…. woman-beating PoS.. fuck him!

Gotta agree
this is a list of “guys”. We got guys. If we can’t get anything demonstrably better than what we have, we’re just messing with what appears to be decent team chemistry for no appreciable gain.
An opinion should be the result of thought, not a substitute for it. (Jef Mallett)
Right
Same applies for filling the top-6 hole. Both there and on the D, the Hawks are not short on replacement-level type guys; no point in just swapping one of them out for somebody else of similar quality.
That’s about how I feel about the Crawford/Emery combo in net too. But the tactical difference is that whereas it seems very unlikely to be able to trade in midseason for an obviously-superior goalie it does seem possible to genuinely upgrade one forward or D spot in the lineup.
Bowman’s put himself in a good position to do that both with the cap room and with the batch of promising kid forwards as trade bait. He should prioritize making one meaningful trade over say two that just move the chairs around.

I dunno
It would only take an injury to one of the top 6 to have Scott back on the blue line (shudder). I don’t see Q trusting Olsen or Lepsito, so if we were to pick up one of these “guys” for insurance, while spelling Monty and OD, I don’t see this being a bad thing.
I don’t watch enough non-hawks hockey to have a major opinion about which ones, but on the list above, why not Campoli. He knows the system and could fit right in. I’m sure others will poke holes in this :p
It's on, bitches.
Tweeping as @ehirtens
I wouldn't mind having Campoli back at all
Especially if, as has been the case so far, Q isn’t going to give Lepisto a sniff at any ice time. Although, like you, I don’t watch many other teams play…so perhaps Campoli is not having a good year thus far?
Let's Go Hawks!
He had a knee injury
and has only played in 15-20 games. Maybe that’s a strength — get him into better condition over the next 2 months by playing about 1/2 of the possible games, then we have a decent insurance piece for April.

as long as he doesnt do a turn over that cost a series in game 7 again
The reason why Stalberg is so good is because his last name is a mix of Staal and Forsberg.
I don't understand wanting Campoli back.
He is last on the list for PK time. Wouldn’t you want somebody to take Leddy’s PK minutes?
Sam's suggestion...
Francois Beauchemin
Age 31
PK TOI 4:38
PP TOI 1:32
Cap Hit: $3.8M
UFA 2012
IMO pair him with Leddy and put Monty with Hjammer.
Believe it or not, Leddy and Hjammer have been getting more D-zone draws than 2-7 and have faced the same QualComp as them since Q broke up 2-8 and 4-7. Since that time Leddy has been getting the toughest zone starts of any Hawks defender. In comparison, Campbell, who Leddy supposedly replaced, got the easiest zone starts of any defender.
I know it makes no sense that 4-8 have been skating more as a shutdown duo than as the designated offensive pairing, but this is likely why they’re getting slaughtered out there. Pick up a guy like Beau and balance the TOI between the 2nd and 3rd pairings. It should also drop the TOI of 2-7. Plus, Beauchemin is a 1st team PKer on one of the best PK units in the league.

Lidstrom
Ok, we get it. His +/- is still outstanding. His goal total is impressive. But ‘all-star snub’? Am I the only one getting a little fatigued at the constant Lidstrom stroking? In my opinion, he’s not even the equal of Soupy right now.

Lidstrom & Selanne

He declined.
There are a whole slew of defensemen in the conference I would take over Lidstrom at the moment… a few of which did not make the team. I guess I’m just complaining… he’ll retire soon enough. Certainly one of the best ever but his skills no longer put him in the ‘elite’ category of guys like Weber, etc.
