November 17, 200817 yr Author QUOTE (SnB @ Nov 16, 2008 -> 10:32 PM) fun game to be at, that sharks power play just dominated. Same here. It was fun to be at it's just there were too many lazy penalties. Byfuglien goes back to his old self today. Duncs had his worst game today, too.
November 18, 200817 yr A touch off topic... To anyone that uses NHL Network Online to see highlights...or uses the Blackhawks TV application...what do I need to install/enable to get it to work? If I click a box score, I can play the highlights in that small screen at the top. When I open the bigger window to watch any content, almost everything shows up, except the screen is just black. Clicking any other highlights does nothing. Also, the play/stop/volume menu bar at the bottom of the screen shows up for a second, then goes away. I installed adobe flash player 10 and nothing. Anyone know what's up? I can't get it to work in neither firefox nor internet explorer. TIA
November 18, 200817 yr I have Flash 9, and I can view the videos on blackhawk tv. Not sure why 10 wouldn't work, sorry.
November 18, 200817 yr So far I am very much unimpressed with Huet...... but its tough to get into a flow when you don't start more than 2 games in a row though.

He gives up wayyyyyy too many rebounds. I think the Hawks will win 3-4 of 6 on this trip.

November 18, 200817 yr Iam a new hockey fan so I dont know how well my assessment of Huet can be, but it seems like all they opposing teams have to do is shoot the puck at his shoulder level and up and he cant do anything to stop it.He is good with handleing anything low but get the puck up and he cant do s***.I was there at the Sharks game and I am pretty sure all 6 goals were high shots.
November 18, 200817 yr That was a terrible game to base opinions on, but it's clear the sporadic playing time is effecting Huet. Ugh, Dale Tallon. We were one year from being free of bad goaltender contracts, and now we may have another. Maybe Huet just needs the playing time, but this franchise really needs to look into developing its own netminder (and please, no Crawford comments, the guy is not going to be an option).

November 19, 200817 yr QUOTE (SnB @ Nov 18, 2008 -> 10:34 PM) so many dumbass penalties. That hook on Kane was garbage, but yeah. Frustrating.

From all accounts Niemi could be that guy. Hey, another OT game! Surprise!!!
November 19, 200817 yr That was quite a game of pass and pass and pass the Hawks just played to end the OT session. Hmmm.....is that a shootout loss I smell??? We shall see momentarily. 1 road point is nice enough, I guess, but 2 would be nicer.
November 19, 200817 yr Hey! A shootout win! Miracle! Wall was awesome tonight. Yes, He is playing well enough to get the nickname back from me. Edited November 19, 200817 yr by Brian
November 19, 200817 yr I wonder if the Hawks would actually consider dealing Huet and re-signing Khabibulin if they could right now? Theodore hasn't been good for the Caps, so I wonder if they would take Cristobal back?

Theodore hasn't been good for the Caps, so I wonder if they would take Cristobal back? Would league rules allow them to deal Huet already? The moment he's gone, Khabibulin would go back to sucking a fat dick.
November 19, 200817 yr I think, given consistent PT, Huet will be just fine. Move Khabby while his value is high, and get yourself some offense. Nylander is a fine playmaker.
November 19, 200817 yr Yeah the Nylander acquisition doesn't make sense for me. They shipped out Lang, and I hate to say it, but Nylander is very comparable to him. Build around the youth FFS.
November 19, 200817 yr I saw this posted in Puck Daddy's Chat today FWIW; Wyshynski: Bob McKenzie reported today that Nylander to the Hawks is basically done. Am I alone in thinking that if it's Byfuglien going the other way, that's an awful deal?
November 20, 200817 yr QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Nov 19, 2008 -> 01:30 PM) Because that's what this team needs right now? The Hawks are 2nd in the NHL in scoring, behind only the Wings. On top of it, Nylander isn't just going to be a salary dump for the Caps. They are going to want a solid player along with Bulin. Is that going to be Barker? Skille? Bulin is taking up a lot of space, but he is also playing out his f***ing ass, and has put this team on his back. I would still like the Hawks to acquire a 2nd line center. However, Nylander is NOT the answer. Tallon has f***ed this cap enough. Adding the 35 year old Nylander for 3 years is going to be fantastic. The window for this team is just starting to open. If Tallon jumps the gun and acquires Nylander, you might see that window close a lot sooner than it should. I agree with your entire post minus the first sentence. If you think they will finish 2nd, or even near it, in NHL scoring, you see this team differently than I do. We're still 1.5 top 6 forwards short, which really means we're 2 short. But everything else about Nylander is correct. f*** no Edited November 20, 200817 yr by IlliniKrush
November 20, 200817 yr Bowman will get sick of him sooner than later, unless he somehow loves him and helps bail him out of this mess.
November 20, 200817 yr Jeff Hamilton is rippin' it up for the Wolves. I have always been a fan of the guy and thought it was a mistake to let him go.
November 20, 200817 yr QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Nov 16, 2008 -> 07:18 PM) Sopel is such a f***ing waste of space. His ass should have been waived yesterday. He's not eligible for waivers. What a dumb move it was to sign that guy last season.
