The Red Wings and Blackhawks meet up in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals tonight at Joe Louis Arena. The Red Wings lead the series 1-0 after their 5-2 win Sunday.
A couple items to watch coming into this game:
* Will Joel Quenneville give more ice time to his phenoms Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews? In Game 1, Kane finished with 15:13 in 23 shifts and no shots, while Toews had 14:45 in 22 shifts. Both finished at -3. While you can argue that it's their first playoffs in the spotlight, the phrase "Baptism By Fire" comes to mind. Kane said Monday that "I'm not out there to be blocking shots and fighting guys." This was immediately followed by the observation that the sun continues to rise in the east.
* How much more can Nikolai Khabibulin do? The Blackhawk defense was porous in Game 1, giving up 43 shots. Khabibulin was the sole reason the Blackhawks were still in the game late. Surely Quenneville discussed defense with his team yesterday.
* Chris Osgood was good but not great in Game 1. The first Blackhawk goal was very sloppy. On a couple of plays Osgood came so far out of the net, a Blackhawks player was behind him with an open shot.
* The parade of line changes we saw in Game 1 for Mike Babcock may continue. It's not quite a random draw, but it sure does feel like it.
* Finally, Detroit has to be more careful with giveaways. The edge was 6-0 after the first period, ending up with 11-1 in the game. You can get away with sloppy play sometimes, but not all the time.
Game time is 7:30 p.m. ET on Versus (US) and TSN (Canada). See you back here then.

Kane's comments
So how would the coaching staff respond to a Wings player saying he’s not there to block shots… Kane is supposedly a leader of this team right? During Bowman’s tenure in Detroit… do you think Yzerman would have said that? Do you think the players would have respected Yzerman after saying that??? I don’t think so. Yzerman led by example and sacrificed the body just like the grind line guys were doing. The same is done now with the Wings. Their best players do the dirty work too, that’s how you lead by example. I’m not so sure these Hawks are ready for the big time quite yet. I’m looking forward to another game wear their fourth line gets just about the same amount of time as Kane and Toews. Seriously Toews is supposed to be this great player and their captain, but SEVEN forwards had more ice time than him. Only guys who didn’t were Brouwer, Burish, Eager, and Ladd. All of whom were still above 11 or 12 minutes. That is baffling to me, but less work for Lidstrom.
meh..
It’s just a fact – Kane isn’t there to block shots.. You don’t really want a player like him getting hurt. He’s so small that it’s extra hard for him to block a shot anyway.
That said, he did still have more blocked shots in the regular season than Hudler or Holmstrom and was tied with Hossa… so there’s that.
Kane isn’t really a leader on the team either – that’s squarely on Toews’ shoulders. I suspect we’ll see more ice time from him tonight.

I find the lack of leadership from Kane a bit odd, if only for the fact that if someone were just going to judge by headlines over the course of a season, they’d probably think that Kane was the big dog for this team. For better or worse, the “stars” usually get some of that burden on them, even if they’re not wearing the C or an A on their sweaters.
I don’t know – I’m not concerned at all about his lack of leadership. He seems like a good clubhouse guy but is just too much of a kid to be a leader right now. I’m not saying he’s immature but he’s just not that kinda guy. He seems to be a bit of a goof and just having fun. Plus he’s insanely talented.. I don’t think your best players necessarily have to be your leaders too..
Like I said though, Toews is the clear leader of the team. Guys like Sharp, Keith and Seabrook are also a good supporting cast.
by Matthew Dirt on May 19, 2009 4:41 PM CDT up reply actions
yeah
i wouldn’t be concerned about Kane’s leadership either. He’s not needed to be the leader in my opinion. Its guys like Havlat and Ladd that are less talked about leaders but have great ability getting things done themselves or for their teammates.

Toews-Kane -3
Is a bit misleading as they were both out there for the empty net goal (where Campbell drew a dumb penalty to make it a given regardless), and they were both out there for Cleary’s first goal which was off a total screwup by Seabrook of Toews face off win. That being said they still played mediocre games, but the plus minus sure makes it seem worse than it was.
Some of the hawks younger players, Kane and Seabrook included, were seen around town living it up in the week they had off prior to Game 1. We suspect them getting reduced ice time may have something to do with that as Q does like to send messages about what he expects from them with ice time and benchings during games. He has not hesitated to bench Kane for whole periods for poor penalties or defensive failings all season and I suspect that may be a factor here. I also think Kane may have had a meeting with Q after his comments about not blocking shots.

You know, I’ve never been a huge fan of plus/minus as the sole judge of performance, but I think it does tip the hand that there’s something wrong here, and that makes it worth noting. Looking at the TOI Reports for the Blackhawks, Kane and Toews were both barely around 4:00 (Kane 3:45, Toews 4:12). If these are going to be your workhorses, they’ve gotta be out there more often.
How do they calculate that giveaway stat?
6-0 in the first period? Seabrook’s flub leading to Cleary’s goal wasn’t a giveaway?
Or is that specifically limited to intercepted passes?
I believe you are correct. According to the NHL PxP report, here’re the six:
1:49, Franzen (Defensive Zone)
2:38, Kronwall (Defensive Zone)
3:04, Lebda (Defensive Zone)
5:24, Ericsson (Defensive Zone) which lead to the Burish goal
8:09, Filppula (Defensive Zone)
9:48, Kronwall (Defensive Zone)
13:21, Rafalski (Offensive Zone)
15:20, Hossa (Neutral Zone)
The Return of the Rivalries
With Chicago back in the playoffs and matched up against the Wings, it has no doubt rekindled some of the rivalry for the fans; which I am a big fan of.
That being said, there are also rumors that Patrick Roy could return to the Avalanche as a coach. I hope so. I need a reason to hate the Avs again. After we clubbed them in the playoffs last year and they limped to last place in the WC, maybe Roy will make them hatable again.
Right now though, both Chicago and Colorado have to compete with Anaheim for my most hated team.
www.wingingitinmotown.com
It has to be Anaheim right now.
If the Wings wind up playing Chicago a few more times in the playoffs the next few years (I think they will), then Chicago will probably become number one. However, no one has challenged Detroit’s division dominance, and until that happens, the biggest rivalries are Colorado and Anaheim.
I root for the Tigers, Pistons, Red Wings and yes, the Lions.

My Goalscoring/Assisting Picks for Game 2
Here are the guys I’m looking at to produce in this game:
Henrik Zetterberg, Mikael Samuelsson, Brad Stuart.
I know Stuart isn’t the big goal scorer but given the opportunity he can make some nice set up passes and take nice defelectable shots from the point. Hank is quietly—well compared to Johan—coming through in the absence of Datsyuk. Samuelsson shoots quite often and he aims upstairs the majority of the time, which is the right technique for Khabibulin.
Secondary: Kronwall, Draper, and Helm

Thought you guys might find this interesting
Sorry for the blatant advertising, but thought some of the stats oriented guys might like this. I do statistical research on the NFL, but I recently built a real-time win probability tracker for the NHL. It factors in score, time remaining, and power plays.
thats pretty cool

Datsyuk
still has magic in his stick. Im thinking that if he is injured its something like a hip flexor because he’s not firing on net the same

Thats a play
where as Franzen hands off to Z, he needs to pull up in front of the goal instead of circling. the puck came right off to the faceoff circle

If it’s Pens/WIngs in the SCF again, talk to Frank at Pensburgh about a field trip. Dunno if he’d be into it for the finals, but…they crossed over with the Philly board in the first round, that was pretty cool…
we
dont speak of next round yet! but yeah I know “hooks orpik” personally so i’m sure they’d be up for it.
