um
“Jungle Drums” for the intro..
and the “DLR” is used when the Hawks curbstomp someone.. usually it’s a five-goal differential but we’ve been starved of those lately so we’re “allowing” the waved-off goals..

What i liked about this win
two things:
1. they scored first, hawks answered right back and won.
2. This was a dead ass team, and the Hawks showed up in a big way, pretty much dominated the Sabres. Its really what weve been lacking all year against bad teams(except columbus)
this
I thunked the thought, pre-game, that this has been the sort of game we’ve blown after good performances against heavyweights this year.. glad to see we took them to school in the car of pain instead

they need D
fuck everything else, get actual NHL-level defensemen, Oilers. And some better goaltending, probably. But the D is the #1 glaringly obvious problem there.
all right, this isn't going to be big on dignity
Look at the goal diff of those 5
Everyone is fairly negative (as expected of teams on the playoff bubble) yet Phoenix is at +1. Plus Phoenix has one of the toughest strengths of schedule at this point (#1 SOS if you look at Jeff Sagarin’s rankings). I guess they’re always in close games…

didn't see the game
But it’s clear from the highlights that Shaw and Hayes were once again fun to watch.
I mean, they’re both bound to come back down to earth; Shaw is on a 40-goal pace (per 80 games) and Hayes has 7 points in 10 games while playing 4th line minutes. It’s beyond wishful thinking to believe that either one can keep that up. But it’s great to see both of them fitting in so well.
Also, Toews had 2 goals and wasn’t even one of the 3 stars. 5-goal margin or not, I think that’s a good enough team performance for DLR.

He offered up the world's biggest 5-hole

Just look at those games played stats for the Hawks two rookies compared to the rest of the rookies in the league.
Then look at the Goals/Game rankings. Just nuts.
Couldn’t find the last time a kid passed over in 2 drafts even played in the NHL in their draft year? Or a 5th round pick for that matter. I mean if the kid was 6 months older he would have been an undrafted free agent. This has been fun because it is so nuts.

three possible answers
a) Six: One to change the bulb and five to talk about how much better Neal Peart would have done it, maaaaan.
b) One: just so long as a roadie sets up the stepladder, climbs up it, takes out the old bulb and puts in a new one for him
aaand my favourite
c) None: They have a machine for that now (ow!)

OK
answer C) really hurt. But it is amazing how humans adapt to machines. I’ve seen drummers doing D&B stuff so fast and precise—stuff that used to be drum loops sped up through sampling—that I still we have a chance when the War of Worlds begins. Never mind a chess match between a computer and some Russian master. I want a drum solo between Neil Peart and the digital entity that won Jeopardy.

I'm pretty sure
it takes 1 to change the bulb and 5 to argue about how much better Neil Peart could’ve done it.

Well
I did post that before you, but technically it was your joke that I hijacked so…my bad.
I am digging your answer C to that one though. I’ll have to use that some time.

Look
Peart is for teenagers. That said, he does a kick-ass version of the original Hockey Night In Canada theme with his monster drum kit (who are we kidding? It’s like Terry Bozzio’s kit—an entire drumstore rolled around the kind of dude who can all the pieces and still make it sound like music. Awesome, in the best sense of the word)

Also, there's a couple of drummers mentioned who made it past the "let's do one of my songs" axe
My fav Police song was written by Stew. (hint: it has heebie jeebies in it)

He is also
a film score composer of note. And no longer single (which means he’s no longer homeless—another punchline to yet another drummer joke)

Ref blew for a hand pass
which made the goal unreviewable
But
was it a hand pass? Or was there a stick in between?
Jets and Hawks 2012 SCF
by My Name Is Agony on Jan 19, 2012 1:03 AM CST up reply actions
its was ruled a hand pass
therefore it cant be reviewed, but replays showed shaw did touch the puck with his stick and the goal should have counted. but once the ref blows the whistle then the play is considered dead.

Couldn't really at home either
the Ref didn’t say during the game. Not that the reason makes me feel any better now that I know.

Until we win a game on such a dumb call
I am in favor of Toronto having ultimate authority in situations like this. If there wasn’t a whistle before the goal, despite the ref’s stupid intent, it should count. Also, ref should get suspended for impacting a game. By suspended I mean with safety pins and by his nipples and scrot.

Sometimes I’m pretty sure you’d have to be a Masochist to wanna ref at that level… any level honestly.

I asked Tracey Myers this on Twitter
She said it was ruled a hand pass and that is not reviewable by video replay.
Which seems absolutely ridiculous. How can that NOT be reviewable? Pretty easy to determine if it happened or not

Just make all scoring plays reviewable. Period,.

this
Its just like the NFL when they reintroduced replay back in 01-02 i think, anyway the point is that Referees had to be “trained” to let plays happen without blowing the whistle as long as the play wasnt completely indisputable in their opinion. then after the play they can huddle up and discuss it with each other to see what everyone else saw. The NHL needs to implement this policy IMO. ALWAYS let the play go and then review it later. What if that kruger goal was in overtime game 7 of a playoff series? All it takes is one actually meaningful(although this one was meaningful cause it would have meant DLR) goal for their whole replay system to be scrutinized.

While that may have been the explanation, the ref never signals hand pass when behind the net. He only signals no goal. I’m generally on the more forgiving side for refs as the game happens fast… But it would’ve made more sense had he just signaled hand pass.
I understand the rule but
the better option is for the ref to swallow the whistle, then review the goal to see if it should be negated by a hand pass.

I agree but put beavers on the top of the Empire State Building and they're gonna try and build a dam.
Give Refs a whistle and a job and they will make calls and use that whistle.
There was a BJ joke in there that I avoided thank you very much
So I heard talk of a Rockford Blackhawks
center-ice hug in the past game or so…
Anyone have a picture of it?
Buffalo is clearly a deadline seller,
Dry humping the salary cap and woefully underperforming.
I wonder what it would take to get Derek Roy. He would look mighty fine centering Hossa on the second line.
Am I paranoid? I don't know. I went to a therapist once, but I left before he gave me the diagnosis, cause he had it out for me.

Well the three players mentioned yesterday morning were...
Regehr (injured), Gaustad (injured last night), and Roy (meh)
So Hayes has a bit of a mean streak....
Stals(h)s officially has good hands
Shawsy is extremely hockey smart
Hossa is so good no…he is so great… we just accepted his 3 straight passes to O’Donnell as “average Hossa plays”
Bolland likes to score, his smile proves that
Leddy is getting his wheels back
Kruger is rounding back into his former self
.
.
Kaner is about to launch a gigantic FU against NHL
Ver™
That last one...
I don’t really think so. He’s playing soft, timid, and with practically no confidence at all.
Kane saved a goal

Very true
It’s coming. I saw the look on Toews’ face when that cue shot went in on the 5-on-3; Kane was all alone at the side of the net and I am sure that was meant to be a pass but Toews kind of biffed it and Enroth played it like a toddler chasing a ball.
Kaner is simply
too skilled and too talented to be shut down for this long. Pretty soon he’ll come roaring back. He’s had two very good games in a row.

Kane is snake bit. It it's not a highlight reel save, it's a post.
When you’re in a slump, puck hits post and bounces out (Kane) When you’re hot, puck hits post and bounces in (Toews)
I have no issues if Kane would like to save the hot streak for the Playoff run.
