I KNOW THE REFERENCE IN THIS TITLE
I know it! I know it! It’s only January 5th and we already got my 1 out of the way for the year. Holy shit is that amazing. What a day.
I never figured any of the writers for PJ fans either
My favorite band, actually.

Not from me
Huge PJ fan, at least the first three albums and the last three. Don’t like to think about that No Code-Yield Era tough.
And Ten might be up there with Exile on Main Street, Zeppelin III, Nevermind, and whatever else goes on the vital albums in history list.

No Code produced one of my favorite songs in Heil, Heil
After that, things fall downhill faster than Sydney Crosby one legged on a rollerblade.
Furious George! What happened to your beautiful face?!?
It's Hail, Hail….Red Mosquito was a fucking great song too.
“Do the Evolution” on Yield is one of my favorite Pearl Jam songs and “Pilate” was great too.

John Prine, Guy Clark, Waylom Jenning, Lefty Frizzel, Emmylou Harris and Townes Van Zandt rec this
"Kevin, You can't play Doom Metal while wearing a scarf"
Ryan Adams (who did a song with Emmylou), Be Good Tanyas
and, of course, Johnny Fucking Cash. The first two are more alt-country/folk, but they’re still great.

hell yes
though I liked Whiskeytown better than his solo stuff..
I was lucky enough to play with the Handsome Family (then resident in Chicago) many times, also once with Mr Bonnie Prince Billy himself.. good times
"Kevin, You can't play Doom Metal while wearing a scarf"
Whiskeytown's more consistently good
Some of Ryan’s stuff has been pretty awful (e.g. Cardinology or whatever it was called), but I think his best parts are better than Whiskeytown’s peaks. Jacksonville City Nights is probably my favourite country album ever.
Also, you played with Bonnie Prince Billy? Wow…

Hilarious!
Murray is a total jerk.
He was as a player too. Remember him walking a way from a couple kids at the Oak Brook mall back in the 80’s and thought “what a lowlife!”.
So... if he trades one core player
he wants a core player back. So… what is he trying to accomplish? Is he hoping other GMs are stupid?
That basically says to me that Murray and Bowman are not trading partners. Bowman has said (i believe) that he wants to add to the mix, not exchange pieces.
Selanne or Koivu
are the only two I would want.
Getzlaf would look pretty nice centering the second line.

Perry has to be up there with either of those 2.
The only reason they are untouchable are no trade clauses.
Kane for Perry would be very attractive IMO.

When Kane bumps back up to his historical average (and above) in goal scoring...
as I’m sure he will…this will not look so good.
"Against logic there is no armor like ignorance."
- Laurence J. Peter
and I thought moving Bolland + for Getz would be considered unpopular
moving Kane is a bad decision… Acquiring Getz a good one, Perry meh, he plays the right side and does nothing different than Hossa. (Which is good but not what we need). Unfortunately, someonewould have to light a fire under Getz’s ass as he’s sucked all year long…
Lines:
25-19-88
10-RG-81
29-16-67
15-22-65
Unfortunately the Hawks have scored enough goals maybe this deal would actually hurt the Hawks…
I believe

An opinion should be the result of thought, not a substitute for it. (Jef Mallett)
damn html. “1.” should be “#19”
An opinion should be the result of thought, not a substitute for it. (Jef Mallett)
Gotcha
Getz would help the offense (ranked in the top 5 in total goals scored) but we also give up a lot of goals. I’d say getting a dman probably is a priority… more so than acquiring Getz, who even I am salivating over.
Dmen
are going to be very expensive: lots of teams looking for a limited supply. The good news is that this applies mostly to top-tier Dmen; there should be some adequate 3rd pairing guys out there, which is what we need (do you really think we can find someone better than 4 or 8 who won’t cost an arm and a leg?). The question is, will this hypothetical guy be any better than what we currently have, particularly in respect to what we would have to give up to get him? I dunno.
As to forwards, it would be sweet to get a quality 2 or 3 Center. But again, what’s there at a price we could all stomach? If a team is looking to rebuild, we’ve got plenty of prospects so might be able to do that. Otherwise, we may wind up just picking up scraps closer to the deadline.
An opinion should be the result of thought, not a substitute for it. (Jef Mallett)
I think the most pressing need
isn’t someone better than 4/8, but more someone just as good as 4/8, so that no matter what we have a good pairing on the ice.
It softens the blow on a mismatch, and also suppresses other team’s secondary scoring.
At F, i think it is way easier to get a good winger than a center. And, Kane and Sharp can both play a spell there. I’m on the boat that says sharp can suck it up and play center. He can still drift on the point on the PP.
a francois beauchemin
and his league leading 4:53 SHTOI/game might do the trick
This is Hack in the Pork Chop Express, and I'm talkin' to whoever's listenin' out there.
Yes but..
at what cost. The Ducks moved Lupul, Gardinier and a 4th for him , although to be fair, Lupul was a bit of a cap dump that has exploded in Toronto paired with Kessel.
I’d love to acquire Getz (Ryan) and Beauch in a deal. That would make me ecstatic…
if you're worried about what we'll have to pay in a trade
then you should be more worried about getlaf than beauchemin
For obviously reasons, beauchemin is the more realistic option here
This is Hack in the Pork Chop Express, and I'm talkin' to whoever's listenin' out there.
i don't deny that
but I think you could get someone like Tim Gleason or Cory Sarich cheaper and they’re Beauchmin lite.
He might be okay too
I have to say I hardly notice him when I’ve watched Hurricanes hockey. But he’s played solid enough.. I consider him on the same levelish as Gleason…
Just curious
I haven’t seen him play enough to have an opinion. I just hear his name thrown around quite often.
Not sure why that posted twice.
No worries, this was the plan all along!
Carolina is my local market
But it’s been extremely hard to watch them play… they seem to have given up on Zach Boychuk too, whom I personally like, but he’d be more like a 3rd line LW imo
Wonder how much of a raise
he is gonna’ want from his current 2.9 when he renegotiates after this season.
How is he at keeping the crease clear?
No worries, this was the plan all along!
Haven't watched enough to say
It’d be idle speculation. I’ll probably watch a bit more Canes hockey though when I head home.
He was paired with Gleason
and is still on the PK according to BtN. 2nd most ice time of Carolina Dmen on the year.
Would you move
Frolik (Bickell) , Lalonde and a 4th for Beauchemin?
in addition to the 4:53 SHTOI
he’s PK GA ON/60 is only 4.17, which would be the lowest on the Hawks.
No more Nick Leddy on the PK, please.

even though he wouldn’t be playing because of injury? Kind of lucky for him in that he doesn’t have to wait to be in playing shape to serve his suspension. Does that seem a little weird to anyone else?

Nope
A player can actually serve suspension while on IR.
by ChicagoNativeSon on Jan 5, 2012 2:20 PM CST up reply actions
There's been a lot of discussion about this in the media the last few days
without any of them reporting the actual mechanics. You would think one of them would call up the NHL spokesman and get a run down of how these situations are administered. I’m sure the rules are written down somewhere, it’s a simple copy/paste job.
nope
It’s not a simple cut and paste job. The CBA doesn’t seem to think a player could actually get hurt on a play that is suspend-able. Or even after the suspend-able play.
The CBA is online if you want to read it. Doesn’t have anything in there that the player has to be “cleared to play” before they can serve the suspension. And in fact doesn’t have anything that I can find that says a suspended player can’t be placed on IR. From how I read it, a suspendable player is part of the 23 player active roster. But if they move to IR they wouldn’t be.
I did find where a suspended player’s salary that they lose because of the suspension doesn’t cost the team in salary cap space. That was interesting.
Maybe his knee isn't as bad
as we and everyone else thought. I’ve seen knees that should have been completely shot have minimal damage.
No worries, this was the plan all along!
However, I'm guessing
what the delay really is, is they are waiting for the swelling to subside before they go in and do surgery. Either way, if he can get a game or 2 of the suspension out of the way and the league doesn’t have a problem with it more power to them.
No worries, this was the plan all along!
Look at it this way:
the team still loses the roster spot for the duration of the suspension.
Part of it is that they need swelling to go down, although I’m guessing we’re about at that point (or will be by the weekend). The other part is they must figure he probably is out for the season, so they’ll lose the roster spot for 7 games, then place him on LTIR.
I don’t necessarily see that as gaming the system. Carcillo still loses 7/82’s of his salary and the team has a one-man deficit on the roster during that period.
An opinion should be the result of thought, not a substitute for it. (Jef Mallett)
Dollars and Roster Space
Carcillo still loses 7/82’s of his salary and the team has a one-man deficit on the roster during that period.
This is all that really matters. I don’t see the big deal about if he’s healthy to play or not.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene."
I can't see the league allowing
his suspension to begin before knowing the severity of his injury.
No worries, this was the plan all along!
If the league holds off
on the suspension, then we would be able to replace him on the roster for now. Therefore, we would have no real penalty until we were ready for one.
Lower body injury
Do teams have to say anything about the severity of any injury?
by pang off the post on Jan 5, 2012 1:16 PM CST reply actions
I don't think they have to
but usually if it’s severe enough for surgery or for the player to be out for a long period the problem will get leaked.
No worries, this was the plan all along!
Awesome. That's my all time favorite song Fels
As someone who follows the Flyers I can say this will be a tough game but if the Blackhawks show up to play like they did against Detroit we will be all good.
Danny is in a major slump so unless he takes off tonight he’s not the threat that he’s been the last two years. Also, he takes a fair number of minor penalties… which, never mind, we’d have to have a functional powerplay for that to be usefull. G and Hartsy are the biggest threat, but without Jagr they are a lot less scary. The depth guys are pretty good and definitely shouldn’t be underestimated. The Flyers sometimes have issues with entering the offensive zone (see last two games with the Rangers) so that’s something to watch for. Both goaltenders can give up softies so we need some net presence to pick up rebounds. On the power play Mez has a rocket from the point so if Razor is screened that can be tough.

I stand up ready to explode. I sit down. I watch everyone racing up the Half Boards going WTF? Kane throws off gloves. I stand back up.
Thirty seconds later NBC shows the overhead view. It was a bit anti climatic. When you wait 49 years and get OT, you want: HE SHOOTS HE SCORES!
Not: He shoots and… the puck rattles into the corner…. and…. Kane thinks he scored… still no light… still no official signal… Where’s the puck…
Gotta admit I felt a bit cheated, but you can cheat me again like that anytime, boys…

Only two people on the ice seemed to know for a fact that it was in: Kaner and Sharpie
The two Patricks. They stick together.

There is one Flyer
I think it was either Carle or Powe standing right in the slot and his head dropped as soon as Kaner fired. So at least one of the opposition knew.
My favorite though is Boucher sitting on the bench about 30 or so seconds after the Hawks begin celebrating you can see him mouth the words “was it a goal”? Hilarious!!!!
No worries, this was the plan all along!
His whole "revenge" thing was bizarre before that series.
We were one of like eight teams he played for. Every game must have been a revenge game for that guy. He will be the star of the AHL All-Star game though!
I do stuff for CheerTheAnthem
I don't really remember much about that story.
And anyway, it was probably hyped in the media to create interest. I can imagine McGuire taking “Yeah, I was sorry to leave Chicago” as “OMG, Edzo, can you believe how angry Michael Leighton is about leaving Chicago?”.
saw that "All Star" title on PD or somewhere, did a double take
then realised it said “AHL”.. then I laughed.
"Kevin, You can't play Doom Metal while wearing a scarf"
He also tried to hide the puck when they were looking for it.
“I don’t know what happened to it. Maybe it disappeared. It DEFINITELY didn’t go in the net.”
The people who knew :Kaner, Sharpie, Boynton, Powe (took out mouthpiece immediately) +/- Leighton...
No Swagger, No Dagger
I thought it was Powe
He was standing in the slot and you could see his whole body just relax like “Awww shit”
No worries, this was the plan all along!

When the 2011-12 season began, the Hawks had $3.875 million available from the NHL’s salary cap of $64.3 million. Then Rostislav Olesz was waived, freeing up another $3.125 million, increasing the Hawks available cap space to $7 million.
The Hawks already have enough cap space to acquire Miller without any other transactions. Ryan Miller’s annual cap hit is $6.25 million until he becomes a free agent prior to the ’14 season.
Yeah, that’s a great idea.

I've predicted plenty of Hawks wins this season.
Haven’t always been right of course, but I’m willing to objectively measure the strengths, weaknesses and talent of the Hawks and their opponents.
Philly is equally deep as the Hawks on offense, their goal-tending is equally schizo, and their defense is a little worse.
But their special teams are much better, and I think that will be the difference.
Please unbunch your panties.

It's not really that simple
Just because the Hawks have a bad PP unit, doesn’t mean that they can’t catch fire. It’s not like there isn’t any talent on that PP, for some reason, it’s just not clicking. I think it’s ST coaching. I digress… do really want to tempt fate?
If the Hawks don’t score on the PP, chasing them all over the ice on a PK isn’t exactly a winning strategy. An effective PK takes effort- lot’s of effort. And if they’re killing penalty’s we kill em with speed late.
So it’s not as simple as you say and who can be surprised by prediction anyway. You’re always predicting bad things for the Hawks.
The issue with the PP isnt talent
It’s the lack of a good system.
They look completely out of sorts trying to enter the zone and set up the cycle. It’s like the coach said ‘just do whatever the hell you think’.
Can that talent break out and do some damage? Sure. Maybe.
Should we be forced to count on that? Or should we demand a consistent system that makes best use of the talent on the ice?
And no, I don’t always predict bad things for the Hawks.
Blackhawks bleed Red & White.
We are all Canucks...including Toews, Sharp, Keith, Seabrook, ...need I go on?
I agree, it's mostly the system.
They’re still trying the back door pass to Sharp (IT’S NOT A SECRET, GUYS), and the entries are mostly atrocious. I also think the 1st unit is too loaded, so hopefully Kaner on the 2nd unit helps loosen up the 1st and brings some playmaking to the barren wasteland that was the 2nd unit.
They were having some success
when they went to the umbrella and were firing more shots from the point and the it was back to the back door play.
No worries, this was the plan all along!
I noticed that too..
for a little while it looked like a “normal” PP.. but then back to useless zone entry and the good old Tradesman’s Entrance..
"Kevin, You can't play Doom Metal while wearing a scarf"
Every time they try that, the"Benny Hill" theme is playing in my head
Because a team skating up the ice, then back down as the puck is cleared in fast motion is essentially like watching the hawks PP right now.
Furious George! What happened to your beautiful face?!?
all i want is toews to try and jam one home from down low on the red line
Like he used to. If he does that 2-3 times on the PP, the backdoor play would potentially open back up.
Marcus Kruger? Sounds like one of them old time car horns, K-uger! K-uger!
I will say, Philly's home record is surprisingly middling.
So there’s some cause for hope.
Blackhawks bleed Red & White.

We all know special teams has been feast or famine in terms of success so I don’t think what he’s saying is any big shocker here.

Bryzgalov is getting grief and he has not played well but I think the main problem with the team so far is that sometimes they play tight and sometimes the team defense is just crap. Contrast that with the team you saw last December. They were consistently good, I think the best team in the league at that point, and both forwards and defense were playing very well when the other team had the puck. Laviolette had almost everyone playing a certain way last year and the three forward lines took turns scoring the points against the other team’s weakest defenders. This year’s team is more creative and fun, actually (3 goal leads in either direction don’t mean much) but not so focused.
Meszaros and O’Donnell were 5-6 on D and O’Donnell was still doing a good job in the early part of the season. And there were several defensively responsible forwards (Richards, Nodl, Powe, Betts) who are no longer here (though just-turned-19 Couturier, who is absolutely worth watching, is very precocious in his own end). Tonight the 5-6 D (though they’ll probably be split up) are Bourdon (who has been a serviceable call-up) and Lilja (who has been quite bad).
Everyone is waiting for Schenn’s body and brain to get together so he can show us what all the fuss is about. Jagr makes Giroux better of course but #28 doesn’t need him. He is so much better than last year, which is ridiculous. Briere is getting shit from the fans but I think he’s still doing ok. JvR has been very quiet which is being attributed to a hip injury that if operated would finish him for the year and we’re better off with him as is than with Zac Rinaldo, who you will see is our Carcillo replacement. Hartnell wakes up laughing like a child that he has Giroux and Jagr on his line. Read, another rookie (we dressed seven rookies for at least one game), is fast and rink-smart but has tailed off some, which could be a rookie wall or just ebb-and-flow.
Oh, right, without Pronger we’re probably screwed in the long run no matter what.

Brier is doing fine.
And like always, he’ll light it up in the playoffs when his effort level goes to a next gear that few other players seem to have.

I was reading that post

All Pronger does is win.
In as far as getting teams deep into the playoffs (Oilers, Anaheim, Philly).
It would be kind of annoying if it weren’t so impressive.

You’d be the class of the league if only you guys had paid Ville Leino a dollar figure that is funny.

Hasn't Leino been a huge bust in Buffalo?
In any case, Philly and the Rangers are both the only hope of keepign Boston out of the finals in the East.

Calling it a bust is being too kind. (Hence: dollar figure that is funny … which is what Darcy paid him, after scoring 19 goals.)

If Ken Holland found him expendable on his talented (but rapidly aging) team, something was up.
Furious George! What happened to your beautiful face?!?
True.
But Ken Holland was counting on Hudler returning when he let him go, instead of flying off to Russia for a season.
Had he known, he probably would have kept him around… for much less than that Buff paid him.
I feel bad for their owner. He seems like a pretty nice guy.

Even with the tendency to sign bad contracts, the hints from the front office toward the end of the season was that we wouldn’t be signing him for the money he was asking. Of course then we spent our last dollar on Bryzgalov so the air was let out of that balloon. Buffalo grabbed him a week later. He played well for us. Much stronger on the puck in the offensive zone than his rep in Detroit. But that kind of money? Jeez.

and we won the other one.. but I’m sure Lords of Olympia recalls that game :]

however painful, it was easily the best game i’ve watched this season.

Heh.
I’ve got a bunch of Red Wing fan friends, and that’s all we do is trash on each other’s cities that none of us live in.
Side Note:
One Hawks/Wings game I was at featured a drunk young fella running up and down the aisles shouting “DETROIT HAS NO WINDOWS!!!” at the top of his lungs. This went on for the entire second period, until he had the majority of us shouting “NO WINDOWS” pretty loudly. Must have sounded weird to everybody down on the ice. Thought it was code for something.
Furious George! What happened to your beautiful face?!?
that's awesome
my friend (a hawks fan) and i are from wisconsin, so we kind of had to pick our allegiances and came out in opposition. so we give each other shit all the time. the only thing i have to make fun of these days, though, is john scott. about all i can really think of.

"Kevin, You can't play Doom Metal while wearing a scarf"
I feel a little better having Toews and Hossa split up on two lines, as far as defense goes
Giroux will always be a problem, sure.As is Hartnell and Briere. Luckily Jagr’s out so that’s at least one thing we don’t have to worry about. But Toews, Hossa, Sharp, and Kane can be difficult for any team on any given night, even if it seems they are slumping. Kane may not be getting his own goals, but he’s certainly giving plenty of chances to the other three.
