Pre-Game Talk: Sharks at Hawks

[BobbyJet]

I couldn't disagree more with the below!

 

[Kurtosis]

It really sucks that he gets to have that username.

 

[Hawsse]

Odds say they are due to put points on the board. Just sayin'.

also, that's not how odds work. losing games doesn't make it more likely that you will win in a given game. if they win it's because they outplayed the hawks, not because of the mysterious metaphysical force of regression to the mean.

 

[Hawkaholic]

I couldn't disagree more with the below!

It's gotta be hard for both goalies having this much of a lay off between games. I would also agree that they should give Lehner the start, but could see why they would give Crow another game too.

 

[Hawsse]

It never takes long for intelligent people to figure him out. Bravo.

i've been lurking forever, but it doesn't take a large sample size to come to the conclusion that he's hell-bent on being the detached cynical guy when he screams it as loud as he can with every post.

With him, no. Half a dozen posts, at most.

As far as this game goes, I expect the Hawks will lock up a W in this one. Sharks are not a very good team.

him conspicuously changing his name from "blackhawks win cup" to "blackhawks" just hit the point home. real subtle.

If only they were actually one person, and not two. In defense of BWC, he's not near the level of this guy.

 

[Hawsse]

i'm not so concerned about whether or not they win this game. of course, it would be a bad sign if they don't, but i don't think the sharks are really as bad as they've been so far. what i'm most concerned with is if murphy or de haan are in, and how that affects team defense. i also want to see the top six (plus or minus nylander) keep scoring. like last season, the team's probably gonna have to ride offensive dynamism to even sniff the postseason.

really? i could have sworn they were the same guy. i guess my point is retracted then.

The Sharks are struggling big time which sets up nicely for the Hawks. Of course if they lose, it's going to be rough in here.

I still think it's a 1a/1b situation this year. That being said I'd start Lehner. Crawford may have gotten no help whatsoever, but he wasn't good.

I'm less concerned with who's in net and more concerned with the guys in front of him. We're not going to win too many games if Keith plays like he'd rather be home watching "Murder She Wrote" like he did in Prague.

Truly, they are not. Though I understand why you might think so.

 

[Hawsse]

well i thank you for saving me from my ignorance.

 

[b1e9a8r5s]

I'd give Crow the home opener as well and then after that it's completely up for grabs.

i want to see how keith does on a decent ice surface before i write him of for the retirement home myself. it seemed to me like the rough ice was really messing with him (especially on the second konecny goal). but this game will probably be a weathervane for how the team's gonna be for the rest of the month if nothing else, so we'll see.

 

[BobbyJet]

Just listened to the podcast above: agree with the premise that playing Lehner tomorrow helps JC send the message that the Hawks country club has been disbanded and past success is exactly that, in the past. Crawford wasn't good enough in game 1.

 

[AmericanDream]

Lehner needs to play tomorrow for too many reasons...we need wins, check egos at the door.

 

[Panzerspitze]

So is it ok to panick once they [again] make Martin Jones look like Martin Brodeur and lose to the awful Sharks?

 

[Styles]

Sharks lines from yesterday

Meier-Couture-Lablanc
Kane-Hertl-Goodrow
Radil-Thornton-Karlsson
Bergmann-Gambrell-Brodzinski

Vlasic-Burns
Dillon-Karlsson
Ferraro-Carrick

 

[goldenbladz1]

ya sharks are bleeding bad and the coach may very well be on the hot seat and they may very well have Marleau in the lineup to give them a spiritual boost if nothing else...

I hope Marleau does play as he was complete ass for the Leafs and that would be good for us.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Has anyone looked at some of the contracts the Sharks have? Woof.

 

[AmericanDream]

Labanc's contract is criminal though..that was amazing. and Meier was a great deal as well...agree though that some of those vets contracts are pretty rough..

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Hat-Trick for one of the Hawks players is quite possible, their (Sharks) D (+ 5 on 5 defending) and goaltending has been iffy at best.
I see them taking lots of penalties, Hawks will score at least 2 PP goals.

 

[CallMeShaft]

Dach not playing is really going to screw with the GDT idea I had planned. On to plan B, I guess.
