Game IV Aftermath: WTF?

The noise Torres made here is probably the same you made watching two/thirds of this game. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)

You know when you're supposed to rub a puppy's face in shit when it goes in the house? Find me one because I see 18 faces (I'm leaving the goalies out) that need such treatment before Thursday.

Complacency plus frustration mixed with a complete disregard for even the base fundamentals of what makes a team moderately successful gives you game four.

Chicago couldn't play any better and somehow I bet Vancouver could have found a way to play worse. They deserved this win before it was half over, playing with some spine and finish that Vancouver sure didn't bother aiming for. The Canucks simply embarrassed themselves even when there was still dead time to play; when your entire fourth line is in the box with misconducts, that's bush league and is light years away from what a winning team does.

Game Summary - I can't even look at it.

Box Score - Whatever.

  • This game was over with the Keith/Campbell onslaught. After that the defensive game fell apart with the Hawks forecheck and the next two goals were clockwork. 
  • No one finished in the positive except Kesler. If you're shocked, you didn't watch the game.
  • The Sedins were a combined -5 and essentially useless. Hank finished with a team worst -3, tied with Edler. Bolland wrapped them up as feared. 
  • Luongo: 22/28 shots. .786 SV%. Toss it.
  • Lapierre: there are no words, but I sort of hate you.
  • Shots were 35-23 CHI. That seems terribly generous on first glance.
  • Seven goals against with six different goal scorers. Everyone is responsible for that mess.
  • Bieksa: the anger at the end is appreciated, but that Bickell goal can't happen in real life. Imagine a different first period from that point forward if you don't get undressed. 
  • Bolland getting four points = proof positive your team stopped playing defensively.
  • Couldn't help but notice Chicago fans tossing crap on the ice at the end. I thought only our heathen fans did that? 
  • Cory Schneider: you're awesome. Never change you beautiful ginger.

No push back, no win. Let this loss burn like a thousand suns and force a new mindset, from the coaching staff on down. Game five has to be different. Focus on the return home.

To end on a positive thematic note, enjoy.

Mostly rally towels.

I don’t know if they do that at other arenas where rally towels are given out, but that’s what they throw @ UC after playoff wins.

I looked through my pictures from last night, and I do see some red water bottles on the ice. I think those were a giveaway/promo item from one of the sponsors out on the concourse, so that’s on par (tomato/tamahtoe) for rally towels, I guess.

Agreed

I just think throwing anything on the ice is bad form. A player could easily trip and injure themselves on a towel or garbage or anything.

One year at Halloween the Canucks players and wives, with help from experts i am sure, carved some of the nicest jack-o-lanterns I have ever seen. And then they raffled them off. One fan who got one, and wasn’t happy with the Canucks loss that night, ran down to the glass and threw his on the ice. It landed right in front of Trevor Linden who was heading in to try and forecheck. He had to leap over it to avoid a potentially serious injury. I hope security beat the snot out of that little fucker.

So yeah we all have bad fans. Perhaps some more than others.

Well it was good to see the Hawks win one tonight but

I still think it’s too little too late for us. I wish we could’ve had Bolland healthy for the whole series. Anyways back to your house for either the clincher or a series that will get alot more interesting then it currently is now. I think the first period on Thursday is key for both teams. You guys should want to come out like you did in game 1 because the Hawks aren’t very good playing from behind and the Hawks goal should be to get an early lead and jump on the Canucks, maybe force them to press a bit.

See you guys Thursday.

I do not expect a repeat performance from you guys on Thursday

This is the most relaxed I’ve seen the Hawks in a while now. Maybe it’s the whole idea of having their backs to the wall or the inspiration of a returning player, who knows? The hardest part is always closing a series. I expect the Nucks to come at the Hawks w/ all they’ve got on Thursday. Another crazy game between our two teams. That’s why I love NHL Hockey!

what happened the last time Chicago embarrased the Canucks? It was November 20th, 2010 the score was 7-1, I remember it like it was yesterday. The Canucks went on to win 16 of the next 20 games (2 were OTL).
I personally believe the Canucks need an asskicking every so often to remind them this isnt a free ride.

The scores for those games were:
7-1 Chicago
3-2 Phoenix
Vancouver 4-2 Colorado
Vancouver 6-1 San Jose
Vancouver 7-2 Calgary
Vancouver 3-0 Chicago
2-3 St Louis
Vancouver 5-4 Anaheim

I went back and watched who were to blame for the second period debacle, and Kesler was in one of them by making a bad change (leaving the ice when the Hawks had the puck right next to him). Can’t believe TWO goals came from poor line changes from the Canucks in the same period. So many mistakes but most of them came from the top D and top line.

by SJKel on Apr 19, 2011 9:58 PM PDT up reply actions  

From what I saw (which wasn’t much since I was “working” at the time) the Canucks didn’t actually play hockey until they scored that second PP goal. They had 1 more good shift after that then it was over.

Psychologically, in a sense you are back to where you were at Game 1

Your first period in Game 1 was very impressive. “Screw the demons, we are so much better than you.” Actually, the first three games were impressive. But if the Hawks for whatever reason start to control the flow on Thursday then it is almost the same test for your guys as it was in Game 1. Unless Bolland is so good against the twins that he renders them useless (and that assumes he can get on the ice against them in Vancouver) then it’s mostly in the team’s collective head, because on the ice your team is so much better than theirs. It should be interesting.

by flyersfaninchicago on Apr 19, 2011 9:58 PM PDT reply actions  

Im tired of this

“Hawks are in Vancouver’s head” nonsense. Vancouver had a bad game. One of maybe 5-6 in the entire year. Minny trounced Vancouver 4-0 earlier in the season. Did that mean Minny was in Vancouver’s head? No, Vancouver kicked the shit out of them for the next 3 games. And Vancouver doesn’t even need to win 3 games, they need just one.

None of this psychological bullshit. Was Kane in Luie’s head in Game 3 when he robbed them point blank? Were the Hawks in Luie’s head in the Game 1 shutout? No.

The Hawks are a good team. Vancouver is a very very good team. Vancouver didn’t come to compete and the Hawks capitalized. I guarantee Vancouver will come to play on Thursday. Then we’ll see who is in whose head.

I think you're acting like the Hawks "being in Vancouver's head" is a permanent thing

I think the Hawks got into Vancouver’s head tonight. I don’t know if the Nucks were prepared for the fight they’d get against a team backed against the wall, with nothing to lose, during the playoffs. It’s like they saw the Hawks last best effort, thought “we beat that” and figured tonight would be similar. When it wasn’t, they lost their cool (i.e. an entire line in the box).

This doesn’t mean that Thursday won’t be completely different. Of course, I don’t believe in game-to-game momentum, so there’s that coloring my view.

yeah i was first. I didn’t mean to conclude that the Hawks actually are “in their heads” or ever were this year. It’s just that with every team there is a knowledge gap between what is actually going on with them and what we see from a distance, so we guess and wonder. Last night’s game was such a zero from what had been a dominant team throughout – even when the Hawks were holding their own in the first three games I never sensed that Vancouver was in trouble. Yet last night there are the twins passing the puck to Bolland or pulling up short when he came around as if he were a voodoo doll. So I find myself wondering the same things I did before the start of the series – expecting the Canucks to dominate but thinking about psychology, a question which the first three games had buried for me.

by flyersfaninchicago on Apr 19, 2011 10:58 PM PDT up reply actions  

Ok

I am over it now. It was really embarrassing to watch this.

Something looked odd on the first shift of the game: the Hawks sent the puck to the right side of Luongo, in the corner. The Canucks defenseman (may be Bieksa, but I am not sure) didn’t even bother to pick it up. It took a Hawks forward to come all the way, get the puck without any difficulty, and created the first scoring chance.

I couldn’t believe my eyes. Did this just happen?

I understand if this happened in the regular season, but this was the game that could have propelled them to the second round, and then rest for a week while the other teams sort themselves out.

May be it’s not just that the Canucks were so bad, but also that Chicago was really good tonight.

Thoughts from a hawks fan at the game tonite
(scary image I know…)

-Canucks played like they expected the Hawks to just hand them the game to start the second. I can see where that idea came from after games 2&3, but different case tonite.

-Kesler ought to be the guy with the “C”. He never quit on plays that I saw. I did see someone mention a bad change, so Maybe I am wY off, but he was still pissed all night. He is the one guy I really want from your team on mine. If he decides to score, the rest of the league is doomed this playoff season.

-Luongo had another nice game. His d men just abandoned him all night. He wasn’t giving up many rebounds again. So there is one nice idea to hang on to.

-Bolland isn’t a 4 point per game player, but he is that important to the hawks.

-so that’s what Duncan Keiths face looks like. Haven’t seen it since last June with it being lodged onto his rectum for so long.

-The hawks PK is just sad.

-AV got outcoached tonight. Simply put, the Hawks were ready and the Nucks were not.

-I’ve seen the hawks come out big in game 4’s being down 0-3 before. Still waiting for them to make a game 6 out of those situations. I see this ending Thursday if anyone of the forwards for your guys show up on the defensive end.

-Bieksa, welcome back! Chicago has missed the old you. Feel free to stick around for a few more games

Honestly, I think that the Hawks just wante to not get swept. It showed tonight. Vancouver had looked the better team and will probably be again on Thursday. I hate going out this way, but this team just hasn’t gotten it together all season. 4 in a row against a team this good just isn’t going to happen. Heck, 2 probably won’t either, bit I can at least say we didn’t get the broom treatment. Enjoy Nashville. They will make your heads explode. I still can’t believe we got by them last year.

by hawkie on Apr 20, 2011 12:57 AM PDT via mobile reply actions  

Thanks for the insights.

I don’y know about how much Q “has them ready”. They played like they gave a shit. Proud, and upset that they were facing elimination to their rival. I would expect that had them as ready as the coach.

Conversely, I don’t think AV had his team any less prepared. They just did not get the mo’ back after that early penalty in the second. Hawks scored right after, then 18 seconds later.

That was the game, except for a few guys like Kes and Burr, and Higgins. ( line looked good in the third )

I have always thought the “outcoached” thing has a lot to do with last change. I have no problem admitting the Hawks were the better team tonight. The stars, mainly. Bolland got his linemates some plays, but Bickell, sweet goal, and Frolik? He got Bolland a free assist, you know? Bieksa though…I have to disagree. He got danced on the first goal, but was a good player after that. A -1 in 6 more minutes ( Ballard an even with over 6 less minutes ) and had 7 hits. Over 3 min. on the PK.

They all looked bad, you know? But the stats show he did not have a horrible game. Edler and Ehrhoff were on for more goals ( both a -3 ).

I aint writing the Ducks off yet either. Nashville is playing well, but the Quackers have some talent I am not writing off until they are dead.

I’d rather have their mishmash of goalies then that Rinne fellow.

I hope you are right about Game 5!

About Bieksa

I was more sliding to his taking penalties again. That fight was basically stupid and he was lucky he didn’t get an instigator. The score probably had some thing to do with it though.

The Bickell goal was pretty, but I can honestly say no one in the stadium thought it wad him. Everyone was sure it was #19 not #29. still yappy-mic-yapyap got lost on that 1st goal. Bickell is about as fast as a slug on a good day.

Also I want to say you guys crack mye up. Even though SCH will essentially go dark after we get knocked out, I’m glad the group here will still be going. I’ll need some humor if the Pens and Wings continue in this way. Probably the 2 opponents I’ll be in your corner if ou face them, but I still like to read the stuff that gets posted here.

How you get an instigator on that, refs have seen enough hockey. Stalberg was just watching everyone run around and felt his oats. He tried to hit ( the guy doesn’t really have it in him, bith hits were stupid, and too much stick. A different ref will put him in the box)

He ran into Bieksa when he was engaged with someone else, and then a little stick in Lappy ( at least that is what Juice said in the post game pressers )

Without sounding too bloodthirsty and medieval about it, no ref is going to give an instigator there. Stalberg ran Bieksa, and the ref allowed him to protect himself. Besides, when he grabbed him at first, Stalberg was welcome to not fight.

He went for the gloves off pretty much the same time and way Bieksa did.

What happened after that was to be expected. Bieksa is a feared fighter in the league, and Stals is…not.

Got in a little over his head there, old Viktor did. stacie will be angry that Bieksa bloodied her eye candy.

Chicks dig scars though right?

If you don’t want your wife mad at you. You should avoid sitting in front of the TV angry from 6p.m. PST to 9p.m. PST. Then follow it up with a short period of reflection followed by being focused on your computer until 12:30 a.m. pst. Ok now 1:10 a.m pst. to be fair.

I did not like Scott only getting a misc. when Glass had a 2 min to go with his misc. It was Scott with his gloves off and fist raised at Glass along the boards.

Like I saif in the Report Card, different refs will help. I know they ahd a powder keg at the end, and all, but Raffi said nary a word when Scott came out and wanted to fight.

I mean, come on Dan O’Rourke, really? The reffing sucked, you are right there.

I am a cavman at heart though, so when some non tough guy like Stalberg starts running around, hit him when he is engaged, and tries the same stuff on two other guys.

I loved Bieksa’s response. I liked the standing up to Scott, and the hitting was closer than you would think.

I don’t see the Hawks keeping that level of hate, loss of focus by the Nucks. But last change and all.

Brad May is an idiot though ( Bolland got in the minds of the Sedins) are you concussed Brad?

They ha da shitty game on their own. Bolland was not that great at checking them, to tell the truth. They just fucked up themselves., you know?

Of course there’s some who cheer a little louder when the Canucks are winning. But we’ve almost always had strong attendance, the ppv games we had up until last season sold strong, and this for a team that has only been to the cup final twice, let alone won the cup. This is a fanbase that will celebrate losing, cause that’s all we’ve got. A fanbase that has endured not just losing seasons but downright pitiful ones. Endured more bad trades, bad draft and just plain bad management than any team I can think of. Through it all people still watched the games.

Bill would not televise the home games, he refused to market the team, he traded away most of our good players. I’m not saying you haven’t had bad management at times too.

We also have two baseball teams, a basketball team, and a football team to contend with. Hockey is not the number one sport in our country and it definitely wasn’t number one in the city.

My point exactly, and it shows in the fanbase. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s cool that hockey is now thriving in Chicago. It’s good for the game that we both obviously love. I’m just saying as a long time fan of a team I find it a bit annoying that you’ve suddenly got all these countless rabid hockey fans.

by Canuckelhead on Apr 20, 2011 11:05 AM PDT up reply actions  

But there’s a difference between mismanagement of hockey personnel, which are the examples you list and which are common in all sports, and acts of neglect or hostility towards the customer base, such as refusing to televise home games, etc.

And to respond to your “I think it’s cool that hockey is now thriving in Chicago.” Chicago had an NHL team, presumably with at least a few fans, for decades before Vancouver (or Philadelphia). In this sense, you and I and our teams have both jumped on the NHL bandwagon. A little respect, perhaps?

I’ve noticed with your many comments on SCH that you often choose to take a comment from someone else, offered in good faith and in the interest of conversation, and respond with a cut or a dig, so the other guy has to decide whether to ignore it or take the bait. You also do it while otherwise maintaining language as if you’re not being confrontational. You’ll be all reasonable and then – pow – another shot. That’s an example of the passive-aggressive behavior of which you’ve been accused. How about you pick one or the other? Be hostile or be cool. Either choice is more authentic, and fun.

When new management takes over a neglected brand or company and decides to both improve the quality of the product and its relationship with the customer base, it would make sense that the winning and the higher attendance would coincide. That is an alternative explanation to yours.

Your question is tendentious and intentionally sidesteps the larger point. We both know the answer to your question is yes. You have either stated or suggested in your comments that this is because the Hawks are bandwagon fans. I am suggesting that the treatment of the fans was uncommonly hostile for an extended period of time and that they actually showed loyalty by hanging in at all.

I never debated WHY they were bandwagon fans

Just that they were. I said that I find it annoying that a team that had no support as short ago as 2007 suddenly has all these rabid fans. The why is what you want to talk about.

Your comment reveals a short view of history. During the 1980s and part of the 1990s the old Stadium was one of the most exciting places in North America to watch hockey. The Hawk fan base was considerable and devoted. However, the owner, Bill Wirtz, spent many years effectively depleting the franchise. If it had been a product or service in the general marketplace Wirtz would have driven the Hawks out of business a long time ago. It is in part because of the Chicago fanbase that the team is still there at all. This story is told and well-sourced in a number of unbiased locations online and off.

 Of course they have bandwagon fans, but compared to the hot-and-cold that I’ve seen over the last 30 years in Pittsburgh and Washington, to name two, the Hawks’ fans’ situation was more like abuse rather than ennui. Those who present themselves as loyal could be given the benefit of the doubt.

In fact i’m sure there is and I think it’s cool that there are old school fans in an American market. I’m just saying some of the more rabid comments over there at SCH are probably not from those fans and that, in fact, most the loud voices you hear over there don’t seem to be very well informed fans, suggesting they haven’t been fans long. Not the kind of fans who have been through losing.
I’ve read about the Bill Wirtz stuff and some of it seems like a bit of vilification. Aren’t they still owned by his son?

The son is nothing like the father

We revere what Rocky did for the team.

There's always hope, and no matter what you can't take June 2010 away from me.

Winning will do that

I’m not saying you’re not a longtime fan tho. I’m sure you are.

by Canuckelhead on Apr 20, 2011 10:53 AM PDT up reply actions  

I have been a fan for over 20 years

but that has nothing to do with it. We do have many new fans but much of that is due to the fact Rocky is now in charge of things.

I loved the ol Chicago Stadium and the organ and the roar of the crowd. Nothing ever topped that. It was enough to send chills down your spine.

Best game I have ever seen: Hawks-Pens game 2 1992 at the Stadium

That was an exciting game

even if I didn’t like the outcome. There is nothing like the old Stadium and there probably won’t be again. One visit there and I was hooked on hockey for life.
