Ache With Me: Raw Charge
And now the home stretch. With a win on Wednesday night, the Hawks now return to Tampa with the series tied at two games apiece. And in order for them to return back to the west side on Monday with the ultimate goal fully in reach, they will have to do something they have not done yet in this post season, and that’s win Game 5 on the road.
As arguably the greatest filmmaker of the 20th century, or of any timeframe since the medium’s inception, the bearded Stanley Kubrick could turn just about any style of film into a masterpiece. Whether it was the minimalist science fiction of 2001: A Space Odyssey, the horror of both A Clockwork Orange and The Shining, the period pieces of Barry Lyndon and Spartacus, or the black comedy of Dr. Strangelove and Full Metal Jacket, every piece of his directorial work stands uniquely on its own while still maintaining his signature craftsmanship. Kubrick famously framed every single shot so that any single frame of celluloid even when taken out of context could stand on its own as a visual statement. But when strung together both within a film and over a career, those single frames add up to a legendary body of work.
I am The Law.
The fuck did I do?
That was something of a departure.
We saw last year against the Wild that the Hawks can struggle against a team that changes its style from a previous game (or in Minny’s case, the previous period). The Hawks probably expected the Lightning to once again come out flying as they had basically done in the first three opening frames of this series. Instead, the Bolts in trying to protect their rookie goalie being dropped into a near impossible situation tweaked their system a bit. Instead of those pinches along the wall being meant to keep offensive zone time going and force openings, the Lightning basically used them as time to get their forwards back to clog the neutral zone. If chances came they took them, but they certainly weren’t going to force anything that might leave them exposed at the back. Constantly, whenever the Hawks did actually manage to break cleanly out of their zone ( I think it was twice), they saw three or four Bolts simply lined across the red line.

Tonight on the west side the Stanley Cup Final makes the turn to the back stretch with the Hawks needing a win at home to keep the Lightning from heading back to Tampa with an opportunity to clinch. While not literally a “must win”, it’s as close as it gets for the Hawks, who are looking to even up the series and put themselves in a far more advantageous position moving forward.
