I'd say go Hawks
But I have no fucking clue who that team is on the ice right now
Also..
Im starting to like shaw. He hustled his ass back to stop a 2 on 1.
It's games and stretches like this
where it would be nice to have a goalie step up and play out of his mind to steal a game and bring us out of a funk. Neither of our goalies appear capable of doing this. F my A.
Did Kane get hurt at the end of the period?

Did you watch the last BHTV special?
The segment with the strength and conditioning coach? He talks about how Kane likes to get his legs shaken out during periods. Would that account for what you saw?

I could give a rats ass about a loss
but when it comes in this fashion is another story. Losses bother me, but when they occur like this it’s very frustrating.
If they’re gonna’ be good, then play good. If they’re gonna play shitty, then play shitty. Pick one and do it consistently.
No worries, this was the plan all along!
Find me a team that doesn't have shitty stretches (that's not Boston right now)
And I’ll be impressed.

Season didn’t actually start until November. During Bruins broadcasts, the only record I ever hear them mention is “Since November the Bruins are…”
Chicagoan in the Lou.
Avs have been on a hot streak for the last 3 weeks
and our Hawks have had a letdown since the Scum, not sharp and goaltending is definitely not Vezina-ish quality to steal a game when the team is off a little bit.
"IN THEO WE TRUST"
No.
We’re usually good at that. It actually takes us about 50 minutes of hockey to warm up.

I probably wouldn't feel
as disgusted if somebody just came out and said “My God we just really sucked ass out there. I have no clue what the hell is wrong with this hockey club but we need to figure it out or some of us may need to start looking for other jobs”
Instead of the same old “We need to play for a full 60 minutes and be better in our preparation”.
No worries, this was the plan all along!

No one can finish a pass
No, not Toews.

as good as Emery has been when he can get to the puck (which has been pretty darn good), he just cannot get across the crease and our opponents know it.

Nice that I noticed him
Carcillo serving his suspension really hinders this but bick needs to sit for the next couple of games, pick a name out of the Rockford hat and bring him up
If you must scream to get noticed, maybe you should whisper instead
Calling Agent Smith
I just hope Monty is healthy for Sunday, because if Q trusts Olsen to play 15 and Monty, Keith, Seabs, and Leddy might live a little longer
Q just said Monty will be back
Someone asked about Scott only playing 4 shifts, Q didn’t really answer but did say Monty will be back
If you must scream to get noticed, maybe you should whisper instead
I'm really confused by the forwards' TOI actually
Sharp had about 17 minutes, Kane and Hossa about 19. Toews always leads, but Kane is a close second, with Sharp and Hossa about tied.
yeah i'm not used to that big of a gap between the players as there were tonight
and it was all EV. I know very often Kane and Toews are in the 22mins range, but usually there together.

What is it with this team?
I’ve been following Chicago sports my whole life and I don’t ever remember a team that could look so alternately terrific and horrifying during stretches.
Lets put itbthis way
Its chicago, if its not on the verge of killing you, its not sports

IMHO, I think that the internet and blogs like this
are what gets me all churned up. We get to bitch and moan with hundreds of others watching the games and get to rehash every shift until the next game. When they lose, it’s not like back in the day when you simply turned off Lloyd Petit and waited until the next game. Now, we read 5 other blogs and post on here for hours, tearing apart the losses.
That’s just me, though. I don’t post on here as much because I never let the loss go like I should.
"IN THEO WE TRUST"

life’s too short
If you must scream to get noticed, maybe you should whisper instead
As a cubs fan
you shouldn’t even feel a loss, those nerve ending should be dead by now
If you must scream to get noticed, maybe you should whisper instead
I was thinking the same thing
I know the last of mine died out years ago
No worries, this was the plan all along!
You would think so
but I have a high tolerance for pain. I will say in my defense, that I quit watching the Flubs in May last year. That helped a lot. I would read the recap and then post a bit on BCB, and then walk away. I will be 54 this year, I’ve seen a LOT of shitty baseball, football and hockey in my life when it comes to the Chicago teams.
Since I’ve been alive, there have been roughly 212 seasons of play between the Cubs-Bears-Hawks and Sux. Only 5 championships in 212 seasons. That’s pretty sucky.
"IN THEO WE TRUST"
Not a Bulls fan?
or just the NBA in general?
If you must scream to get noticed, maybe you should whisper instead
I'm a Bulls fan
I didn’t count them because they would have made my sucktitude value skew a little better. lol
"IN THEO WE TRUST"
I let it slide
just cuz you’re a cubs fan. You should be able to skew that value all you want
If you must scream to get noticed, maybe you should whisper instead
Well you could
come to the dark side and tell the cubs to stick it, but somehow I doubt you will
If you must scream to get noticed, maybe you should whisper instead
I won't
I’m a glutton for the pain. I just hope they win a WS ONCE in my lifetime so when I get to heaven I can tell my Mom and Grandma what it felt like. I’m totally serious.
"IN THEO WE TRUST"
That's pretty cool
I hope you get that chance
If you must scream to get noticed, maybe you should whisper instead
I was on phone with my brother
when the Hawks won the Cup, I was bawling my eyes out. Actually, I am more of a hockey fan than baseball. The feeling that night lasted a week, at least. It was the weirdest and best feeling I have had regarding any Chicago team except the Bears. When the Habs beat the Hawks in game 7 in 1971, we both were so distraught and tearful that night listening to it. It took 39 years to wash that feeling away.
My brother and I used to watch the Hawks on WGN TV on Sat nights back in the 60’s and 70’s and during the intermissions, we’d pull out the Coleco hockey game and play that until the next period started.

If you must scream to get noticed, maybe you should whisper instead
I was born a Cubs fan.
My Grandmother and Mother were Cubs fans, so by way of the placenta, I am too lol
Yes, the snowbirds are here again. But that’s a good thing, mostly. More $ in the coffers, just be wary on the roads lol
"IN THEO WE TRUST"
they don't drive a golf cart yet
but I know what you mean. I grew up in Valpo and picked the sox. My dad took me to a game that was right after the dicso night fiasco, broken records everywhere, a fight right by us during the game, so obviously I chose the sox
If you must scream to get noticed, maybe you should whisper instead
I remember that night
Thank you Mr Steve Dahl! LOL
I used to go to Sox games in the late ’70’s and ‘80s on Friday and Sat nights because they obviously played night ball before the Cubs in 1988. I would root for the other team, but got to see Clemens with Boston and a bunch of great players in their prime from the AL. The Sox weren’t drawing flies then, so I could stroll on up to the window and get a 1st or 3rd baseline, front row in the upper deck. Great seats.
"IN THEO WE TRUST"
I was like 6 or 7
I was like what is going on with all the records, wasn’t til I was a little older before I figured it out. Went once in the late 80’s and saw that great Oakland team, Dave Henderson was such an ass
If you must scream to get noticed, maybe you should whisper instead
Yeah, he singlehandedly beat the Angels with a couple of HR's in the 80's.
Comiskey was pretty mucha dump back then, but it reeked BASEBALL and history. Seats really sucked, especially in the bleachers because I am a big guy. Still had fun at the ’ol ball park nonetheless.
"IN THEO WE TRUST"
Dump is putting it mildly
Love the new version of the new park though, took em a while but they finally got it right.
Too bad both teams are likely to suck next year
If you must scream to get noticed, maybe you should whisper instead
For sure
the Cell sucked as originally built. Went to one game there, that’s all I could stand. Couldn’t hear the ball hit the catcher’s mitt from the mid bleachers. Looks a million times better, moved to AZ before the major upgrades.
Cubs will suck because they are trying to build/rebuild, Sox will suck because they don’t have the horses. If Dunn repeats his sucktitude again, they’re finished. Konerko is living on borrowed time.
"IN THEO WE TRUST"
Wish I could argue but
the evidence is too strong. My only solace is 2005. God I’m gonna miss Buerhle, love that guy
If you must scream to get noticed, maybe you should whisper instead
I was hoping the Cubs could get him
he’s a horse. Should be a lot of angst in the blogs this coming summer, for sure. I only hope that Theo has the magic touch one more time and then I don’t care anymore.
My bro in law is a Sox fan and I tell him that 2005 was a shared hallucination, it never happened lol
"IN THEO WE TRUST"
haha
That was so awesome, Pods homer to win game 1, Uribe with the cannon to end it. That feeling never gets old
If you must scream to get noticed, maybe you should whisper instead

If the Cubs ever win the WS, they’ll burn Chicago down-again lol

I saw a lot of rebounds tonight
Maybe I was paying more attention to them specifically, but when a rebound comes up there’s no one there fighting to get it. And I doubt it’s because the Avs’ Dmen were able to push us out all the time.
I only saw the 3rd period tonight
but all I saw was 50-footers from the Hawks. And no real quality time in their end.
"IN THEO WE TRUST"
Yeah, some wraps
but Avs never really let them set up for any closer chances. Oh, well. Can’t win them all.

So who do we throw out there on Sunday?

I find it amazing that Olsen

Major theme according to the beat is work ethic
And there is no questioning the three kids coming out to work in these games.

I don't follow
I was referring to Olsen playing before OD, Lepisto and Scott
If you must scream to get noticed, maybe you should whisper instead
Right
And he’s busting his ass. I’m assuming Q is seeing something at practice that he’s not liking from those three dealing with work ethic.
I’m grasping at straws just like everyone else.

Ok so if Monty is back for Sunday
somebody has to go somewhere. Either back to Rockford or to IR. Who’s it gonna be?
If you must scream to get noticed, maybe you should whisper instead
Opinion
if you can tell fortunes, I do have a few pressing matters
If you must scream to get noticed, maybe you should whisper instead
Keeping in mind I don't know shit about contracts
And even if they can, but I’d send Lepisto.
There’s something going on there besides “Q just doesn’t like him.” Keep Olsen until he looks in over his head.
But I’m just an armchair GM, and have no clue what’s going on in the room or in practice.
Chicagoan in the Lou.
Yeah I don't know that stuff well either
but it appears to me that Q doesn’t think much of any of those D-men, might as well start clearing them out now
If you must scream to get noticed, maybe you should whisper instead
Lepisto would have
to clear waivers I believe and with teams looking for D help the way they are he would get snatched up I bet.
He still may have some type of value in a package trade.
No worries, this was the plan all along!
As maddening as this loss was
if they send Olsen back after playing 15 min, I’m going to be pissed off.
I think you are right on Lepisto and same with Scott and OD. Scoitt should be the one to go, if he doesn’t clear waivers so be it
If you must scream to get noticed, maybe you should whisper instead

Really?
Worked a few years for a minor league baseball team. I don’t ever recall a guy getting benched or demoted and then “losing confidence.” What I saw was guys getting sent back from AAA and then busting their ass to get back closer to the show.
The level of compete it takes to get there is insane. If Lepisto gets there, doesn’t play, and then goes all emo, he needs to ship his ass back to Finland.
Chicagoan in the Lou.
When you have had a steady job
with other teams and then take less to play for an organization and you don’t even get the opportunity to play and show that you can play, it may not take a toll on your confidence directly but it does cause one to question their ability which can lead to a dip in confidence. Did those ball players get benched so a high schooler could play ahead of them. Because that’s about the gist of the situation. A regular for other teams wasn’t even given the chance to play so a guy that really has no business on the ice is playing because he is a foot taller than the other guy.
No worries, this was the plan all along!
Again
If I even put that into the context of my life: If a coworker starts getting all the important projects and I get stuck with piddly shit, I’m not going to get all sad and mope. I’m going to get mad and make sure I prove I’m better when my number’s called.
Oh, and with the minor league guys, there was a old journeyman outfielder who lost his starting spot while I was there to a teenager named Colby Rasmus. So almost a high schooler! haha!
Chicagoan in the Lou.
I think there is a terminology issue.
to me, attitude =/= confidence. From what I’ve read, Lepisto has had a very good attitude about things despite being benched. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t feel shitty and gets stressed about his play and abilities
"Well now you're just talking like Foghorn Leghorn!"

I've never played or worked in sports so I don't know the mentality players have. In my mind,
when players have been sent down, I’ve only seen them having good attitudes. But he hasn’t been sent down. He took a pay cut to play for a team that won’t play him, and puts him last on the depth chart. I imagine when he does play, he’s tight as hell and worried about making even a slight mistake for fear for being benched again. In that situation, its hard for me to imagine a player not sitting there going, man I suck.

To send OD, Lepisto, or Scott down they have to go through waivers
I’m assuming OD and Lepisto are going to be trade bait, so it ain’t happening.
And if we send back Shaw or Hayes, guess who dresses up in their place. I’d rather have Scott off the ice than Olsen on.
That's my point
With Car serving his suspension and not going on IR, the Hawks are fucked if they want to keep one of the kids up. Oh now I get it, send Olsen back, dress OD.
It would make my day if they sent Scott down
If you must scream to get noticed, maybe you should whisper instead
It would be nice if we could get rid of Scott
But for some reason Q likes him, so I’m not counting on it. I’m sure Olsen will be back up soon though.
You think he likes him?
I would love to get Q’s reasoning for Scott dressing, not the BS things he tells the press. I almost get the ‘we need a goon’ thing but dressing for the Avs? I cannot understand this
If you must scream to get noticed, maybe you should whisper instead
Scott is a nice guy, so he probably does like him
And he’s dressed Scott against fast teams before. I don’t understand it. I don’t think anyone here understands it. But for whatever reason Q trusts him over OD and Lepisto. I’d like to think that he wouldn’t send Hayes or Shaw back down, who have also done well in what little time they have, in order to dress Scott as a forward (where he can again skate only about three minutes). Then again, who the hell knows.
Yeah I get it
but if he trusts Scott so much why doesn’t he play more? A few weeks ago I was willing to put up with Scott dressing, but right now his presence is going to put the hawks in a bind
If you must scream to get noticed, maybe you should whisper instead
That's the funny thing
Q must have selective memory, because in the 20 games he’s dressed Scott, Scott hasn’t breached 10 minutes in 14 of them. Lepisto, in 11 games, has only played less then 10 in three.
It’s like he doesn’t remember that he pretty much keeps Scott on the bench.
I'll admit that against really physical teams
I don’t mind Scott dressing, but games like tonight I just don’t get it. What is the need for him to be there? And it has been brought up many times but what happens if one of the top 4 goes down.
I know you don’t have the answer but this is really hard to grasp.
If you must scream to get noticed, maybe you should whisper instead
This has been the question this season
And as far as losing one of the top 4 D-men, it means we’re screwed.
Here’s to the trade deadline.
There's only one man on that team
Whose absence means we’re screwed. And he does not play defense.

Sorry, my frustration with this situation has run over. I’ll stop talking about it, maybe
If you must scream to get noticed, maybe you should whisper instead
With Carcillo on IR and Olsen up
That means we’ll have 8 d-men. With a trade deadline we can send OD and/or Lepisto for the top 6 defensive-minded forward we need.
so your idea
is to send two healthy scratches for a top 6 forward?

The Enemy's Gate is Down
Q's been doing this since his time in STL
He leans HEAVILY on his top two and bottom two skate between 10-15. With Scott it’s just so much more extreme.
During the post game he was asked about Scott not playing the 3rd, and he just said “we’re working on it.”

After listening to yet another BS post game from Q
Why hasnt this coaching staff been put under the microscope?

Because he won a cup 2 years ago.
I bet if they don’t win that Cup and they were playing like this people would be wondering the same.
No worries, this was the plan all along!
Because we're still high in the standings
I just would like direct answers about the special teams and the third pairing. I also would like a Lamborghini, but I won’t be getting one of those any time soon either.
I don't play armchair GM
I am just sick of the constant line changing, and Scott, etc.
You don’t think that some of the clusterfucks in the offensive zone are from the constant switching? I lost count of the number of times that three Hawks were in the same area or passes were going to where someone should have been.

I just watched Getzy throw a pass to nowhere
And those 3 play together quite a bit.
It would be nice for Q to leave lines together and let some chemistry grow. But I don’t see the problem with the switching at this point in the season. If not now, when?
Chicagoan in the Lou.
only problem is it has been that way since preseason
I have a FEVER and the only prescription is MOAR DAGGER!

I think the season is on the brink...
Bad defense
Marginal Goaltending at best
Bad PP
Awful PK
an offense that vanishes completely once every 6 games
The trends are not good, and the schedule gets ugly.
Was the Stanley Cup actually a dream? It already seems like a lifetime ago.

we’re almost halfway there. Need some filler.
Got any good adjectives?

How about picture fan posts?
I like pictures.
I've got heartburn
Imma write a 75 word fanpost on the seasoning being over.
But in the end, I think it's going to come back to the Globetrotters, because if there's one thing they know, it's "globe-trotting!"
WOW
I’m sure glad I didn’t watch this fucking game tonight!
Fuck!
Wake the fuck up Blackhawks.

Did Bolland or Bickell do anything?
Clearly by looking at the scoreboard I know they nor Frolik NOR TOEWSHOSSAKANESHARP scored!
by RVW5000 on Jan 7, 2012 12:03 AM CST via mobile reply actions
Yes...
Bolland punched someone and got a major.

Bolly and Fro were ok
Bicks was unnoticeable, he needs to find a different home IMO
If you must scream to get noticed, maybe you should whisper instead
Bickell fucking sucks
Put him on the block
1 goal from 35ft every 25 attempts isnt worth it and he only throws his weight around probably 39% (who cares about accuracy right?) of the time…. So what the fuck is he dressing for??! Seems we have too much wasted space in our lineup.
by RVW5000 on Jan 7, 2012 12:20 AM CST via mobile up reply actions
So did we just take the night off?
Or do we have bigger issues?
Thin at goalie?
Thin at D?
Special teams coaching is ineffective at best?
Core is tired?
What the fuck is it?
Teams in the East are relentless and we look like an 8 seed again.
by RVW5000 on Jan 7, 2012 12:33 AM CST via mobile reply actions
Relentless is the word...
Have you seen the Bruins? My god that’s a talented, passionate team. This Hawk team is no match with them…not even close.

Oh my god no.
A playoff series would be 4-games long, and the combined scores would be like 61-0 Bruins.
Blackhawks bleed Red & White.
We are all Canucks...including Toews, Sharp, Keith, Seabrook, ...need I go on?
Worthless. Bumbling. Idiots.
This is a one-and-done playoff team at best.

Hi everyone -
I’m a lurker, and yes, I’m an Avs fan, but I’m not here to troll or rub in the win. I actually really like the Hawks. Between your skilled and classy players (especially Kane and Toews) and your dislike of the Wings and Nucks (who we also DESPISE), you’re my second favorite Western Conference team. Besides, for the most part, Avs-Hawks games are a blast to watch because they’re usually so back and forth. I have nothing but respect for you guys and your team.
So I just wanted to drop by and let you know that you just played a team that’s so hot, they have the same record as the Bruins in their last 10 games (9-1-0). The Avs may not have anyone with 30 points to their name yet (O’Reilly has 29), but they’ve managed to find a way to play a team game and have had awesome defense and goaltending as of late. Our PK has been working well, and we’ve somehow kept winning with our top goal scorer (Duchene) benched with injury. Van der Gulik is a call-up, but he’s made a huge difference on our 4th line – he’s been with us for 10 games and already has 5 points. In short, our extremely young, cheap team is finally finding a bit of consistency and is playing surprisingly good hockey. So, like any good Avs fan, I’m highly skeptical of all of this, but enjoying it while it lasts. It’s just unfortunate that you had to face us at this point in the season while coming off a back-to-back.
But keep you head up. You’ve still got one heck of a team. You think losing 3 games in a row is bad? Try 10. You’re still 2nd in the West and are probably going to be contending for the Cup this year. This is a rough patch – every team has them. Your team was tired and played a very well-rested set of guys that love wearing other teams down with their speed. Toews played almost 24 minutes tonight and had a number of awesome chances while matched up against Ryan O’Reilly, who is a guy that will probably get some Selke talk this year. While this loss stings, it’s not heralding the end of the season. Take it from someone that actually did see a collapse last year – this is not it. Your team has far to much pure talent for that.
Best of luck to your team from here on out. Things will turn around sooner than you know.
Just a Colorado girl in Montana who ♥s the Avs and writes for Mile High Hockey.

Worst loss I've seen at the UC
since that 09 St Patricks Day Sunday beat down we got from Long Island. Lost just about every battle and were a step and a half behind every single play. Sorry if I’m beating a dead horse, I haven’t read the thread.
