Goal? No goal? I'm listening on radio...

Goal, but the Hawks held on with a 3-2 win.

Nice. Hawks win!

 

De-twah on Thursday.

 

BTW... Vandermeer doesn't seem to be playing well at all. Sounded like he had a couple more giveaways tonight. Sounds like Cully is even playing better than him at this point. As of now, I really don't care who goes, but one of Cully or Vandermeer needs to go in the next month, as I think Barker is pretty much ready to start playing up here. I guess I would just keep Vandermeer for his tougness -- he's probably the closest thing we have to a heavyweight at this point -- but one needs to go.

The Blackhawks at .500. Will wonders never cease?

An awesome 3rd period for the Hawks. It was excellent to see the PP finally finish some opportunies, and they ended up being the difference between winning and losing.

boy december has been good to the bulls and hawks.

The Chicago Blackhawks brought in sniper Peter Bondra this week to add some scoring punch to the lineup, but that doesn't mean their finished making changes.

 

Various reports have suggested the Hawks have been eyeing Tampa Bay Lightning forward Vaclav Prospal for weeks.

 

The Lightning have gone 1-5-1 in their last seven games and are now one game under the .500 mark.

 

According to the Tampa Tribune, former Lightning GM Rick Dudley, now with Chicago as their Assistant GM, was at last night's game along with Blackhawks GM Dale Tallon.

 

Prospal, 31, is fifth in team scoring with three goals and 15 assists for 18 points.

Prospal for Cully thanks.

 

Realistically to get him, we'd probably have to give up Vandy.

I say Bye Bye Vandy and hello Prospal and Barker/Buf come on up...then Swing Aucoin to Philly and welcome back Calder....Hawks would be in pretty good shape there.

Havlat mancrush >>> Grossman + Crede mancrushes combined.

The break away vs. Buffalo was my favorite.

 

I hope he puts on a show for the third of the crowd that will be Detroit fans tomorrow. Anyone going to that game? Damn theology final on Friday or else I'd so be there.

I may go, but it's one of the 5 games that's on in HD from the UC.

 

I will for sure be there Saturday, and by there i mean in Columbus, road-style.

What does Tampa Bay need? Defensive help wouldn't hurt nor would someone to add some grind-it-out grit.

 

Feaster never talks about specific player moves, but it is believed underachieving forwards Vinny Prospal, Dmitry Afanasenkov and Andreas Karlsson could be part of the discussions, though the interest level from other teams is unclear or if the return would make a deal worthwhile.

 

Marty LaPointe. There's your grit Tampa. Trade LaPointe and you're rid of his $2.4M salary for next season. If you traded Aucoin for Calder, that's a total of what $6.4M (about that) that would be off the books in the off-season.

 

I'd say Vandy's a good candidate to be moved though. Make sense with Bo/Barker/Richmond all doing well down in Norfolk and ready to play.

I am so pumped about this game in Detroit tonight. This could be our chance for a statement game.

 

Let me start the chant

 

DE-TROIT SUCKS!

DE-TROIT SUCKS!

DE-TROIT SUCKS!

DE-TROIT SUCKS!

Ill be there.

It be huge to play well and pick up some points tonight.

Apparently Borque is back tonight, too. Things starting to fall in place (as well as they could, at least -- a damn shame Zues is out for the year). Hopefully that trade will go through with Tampa (Vandy straight up?), and we'll roll out two pretty solid lines.

Right now I just sub Bondra for Zues and call it even, or a little bit of a loss.

 

I wonder who we would deal for Prospal if it happens.

If they were willing to take Cullimore instead of Vandy, I'd throw Sharp their way. I know that would complicate the problems of not having enough centers, but we'd be gaining a #2 center and losing a #3 center. Ark and Holmqvist can center the other two lines, with guys like LaPointe taking a share of the faceoffs, as, IIRC, he's been pretty competent in that area this season.

 

I'm pumped. Haven't been this excited in a while. Hawks can take a small step forward by playing well tonight.

I'm all for throwing vandy or cully at tb for prospal. That would be a no-lose deal, IMO. Yeah, you could throw em Sharp, Keith. And yes, Lapointe can take draws if need be.

 

Keith, any way you can find comcast up there on campus?

 

Edit: Detroit Sucks!!!!

 

Lineup:

Bondra on the 4th line...? At worst, you HAVE to flip him with Lapointe...bourque/ark/bondra could be a decent line.

 

The Cullimore/Vandy pairing gives me nightmares.

For those out of the market, you can watch it here.

This recent success has me watching games.

Quick first goal by Detroit, the puck just trickled between Khabi's legs.

What the hell, Hasek is sick.
