GDT: Game 3, Hawks @ Leafs: 6PM Central on NBCS-CHI and NHLN-US--Don't Upset Evil Saad!

[CallMeShaft]

Evil Saad is an all powerful being able to burn villages down, give people low level tinnitus from goal horns, and to embarrass any team in his way. I've compiled a list of things we, as mere mortals, should avoid doing to upset him. I've also assembled a short list of things that he refuses to set on fire due to these objects sheer beauty.

Things you shouldn't do to/in front of evil Saad:

• Block his shots
• Compare Auston Matthews to Jonathan Toews
• Hurt Nick Schmaltz
• Mention the city of Columbus
• Call the theatrical masterpiece known as MacGruber stupid
  
• Wear a #20 jersey that doesn't have his name on the back
• Talk crap about Saaderman
• Putting the Hawks anywhere but first on an NHL power ranking
• Mention his mortal enemy Beetlejuice by name three times
• Question the significance of plus/minus
• Sing a Katy Perry song but forget some of the lyrics
• Talk about how fishy the Hossa LTIR thing was
• Beat him at Jenga

Things he loves too much to burn:

• Hockey pucks
• A DVD of Cool Runnings
• Daffodils
• John Scott's book
• A cassette mixtape with only one song on it; Single Ladies by Beyonce
• Patrick Kane's forhead...mainly because of how bright and shiny it is

Hawks Projected Lineup...maybe? Who the hell knows anymore:
Evil Saad-Toews-Panik
Hartman-Anisimov- Kane
Sharp-Kero-DeBrincat
Bouma-Wingels-Hayden

Keith-Seabrook
Kempny-Murphy
Forsling-Rutta
Forsberg


Leafs Projected Lineup:
A High Man - Two First Names - Night Lander...boy that sounds dangerous
Travis' brother - Bozo - Not comparable to Kane
Jumbo Joe's former sidekick - Kadreams he can win a cup - Leo
Matt Fartin - Dominic Lesse - Connor Brown is actually super white

Morgan is a girl's name - Hanes
NHLer most likely to own a garden - Russian names are hard to make jokes about
Rosen, Rosen, Rosen - Thinks cars r ick
Still might be upset over 2015 Western conference final

Had a different idea planned for this game, but that concept will need a few more days before it'll be done.


Also, make sure to give the OP a like!

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

We can't possibly run into yet another mediocre backup, can we?

 

[Bubba88]

just keep playing like the first 2 games and everything is good. Not much to say so far other than lighting them up

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

If it's Andersson I say we take it 5-3 with an empty better.

McBackup? Hawks win 6-2.

To hell we can't! Someone needs to put laxatives in Freddie's coffee in the morning. Force Babcock to start McElhinney tonight.

^Perfect gif.

 

[Otto31]

Following the logic we're going to lose 0 - 1.

 

[migi]

Perfect!

 

[Beukeboom Fan]

Only suggestion would be to replace Bozo with Ball Sack.

 

[ClydeLee]

I wonder if Franson and Oesterle will get a taste finally or Q waits for the Habs game for those shifts

 

[hawksfan50]

I expect we play Forsberg in net against TOR...the reason is CC has a great record vs.MTL and it is his hometown ...so instead of playing Forsberg in Montreal we probably put in CC there in front of his family and friends ...also if the Leafs ho statement on us tonight and we lose ..well there is tge conventional "But Leafs did not beat our #2 goalie " excuse. .SO if this hapoens ,pity Forsberg having to face that offense Toronto has...5 lines that can score.Of course we are out 2 starting C's,so there is also that excuse if we lose this game.

NVM, I get it now, kinda, lol.

Logical.... not a strength of our HC.

 

[LordKOTL]

Just win. Keep the magic going.

 

[ChiHawks10]

Gonna be a good game, IMO. I expect lots of action. I'm assuming Forsberg gets the nod tonight?

 

[BobbyJet]

My take on players to watch in tonight's tilt:

Weird how some analysts are making this out to be some kind of enormous gauge on how good the Hawks are, as if any result in Game 3 of an 82 game season will be an indication of how the rest of the season will go. Suddenly the Leafs are apparently a dynasty....

 

[AppsSyl]

Any word on your line up and starter for tonight, given you guys have the back to back?

Is it Canadian media? Because they've always trashed the Hawks and propped up the Leafs so they have no choice but to go all in on this one and pretend it didn't happen if the Hawks win.

In case you guys are wondering, our line up appears to be:

We all know it will be both...

Seriously though, hoping for a classic for Thanksgiving evening.

5-4 Hawks
