October 13, 200916 yr That was amazing. I'm so glad I never changed the channel. One problem I have besides the goaltending is Kopecky on the PP...wtf?
October 13, 200916 yr WHAT A F*CKIN GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Send Huet to Rockford though, pls.
October 13, 200916 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 12, 2009 -> 09:12 PM) That is a big statement game for Calgary. It means a lot more to them after we kicked their asses in the playoffs, than it does to us. Seriously, this is like the Twins and Sox in the metrodome, and we are the Twins.
October 13, 200916 yr That was quite the game. I missed the 2nd period due to some school stuff but when I checked my phone to see 5-4 with 5 minutes in the 2nd, I was shocked. Overall, I think the the team will be just fine, especially when Hossa returns, but the defenders have been worrisome to me, obviously as well as Huet in goal. I'd gladly deal Barker, one of our young forwards and a prospect for a good defenseman. I like the Keith/Seabrook pairing, and I like Hjalmersson, but Barker and Campbell worry me. Turnovers in our own zone have become a big problem. And how about Kane. Great players make the guys around them better and I don't know if there is a better example of that than Kane and Buff. And finally, paging Mr. Toews. Paging Mr. Toews. Any time you'd like to join the team would be great...
October 13, 200916 yr I was at the game, and wow, that was incredible. The lowest of lows to the highest of highs. This offense is ridiculous. I just wish Huet could figure it out.
October 13, 200916 yr If I heard the post game show correctly, teams have fallen behind 5 goals 5142 times in NHL history, yesterday was the 5th time a team has rallied from that to win a game.

The upside of those defensemen however is that they are in on the scoring and its coming in bunches. Barker made some crappy plays yesterday, but turned it around. With a halfway decent goalie in the net you saw what this team can do. Huet is the anchor that could bring this team down. And even though Toews hasnt been scoring, he has been aggressive both ways and it will come with time.
October 13, 200916 yr I must say, Brian Campbell's head has been pulled out of his ass for the most part thus far.

He started out like a beast last year as well, then that nagging injury hit. Let's hope his body holds up for this year's 82+.

October 13, 200916 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 13, 2009 -> 04:32 PM) From espn.com. Has been pulled since. Ahh and the Wings secret to success all these years finally comes out.

I have thought the same thing, but posting that in these parts might be looked upon as only a small step about satanic worship, so I kept quiet. Glad I'm not the only one who has noticed that though.

October 14, 200916 yr Campbell is playing like he somewhat deserves his contract. The Bhawks are screwed when it comes to the cap though for next year. Huet, is what I sadly expected, and that's trash.

October 14, 200916 yr I know this will be met with much happiness around here. The Red Wings looked HORRIBLE tonight. How the hell did that team beat the Hawks? They gave up a half-dozen to a Buffalo team that had 4 goals in their first 3 games!

October 14, 200916 yr the Huet situation is really tempering my excitement for this team going forward, their offense is so strong and will only get stronger when Hossa comes back, but the goaltender is scarring the hell out of me!
October 14, 200916 yr one of the SI writers at the start of the season picked the Hawks to win it all, solely based on the fact that he expects them to make a trade for a #1 goaltender during the season...

They have no money left under the cap. They would have to find a deal to get rid of Campell or Huet first.
October 14, 200916 yr Skille sent down again....no, WAIT....Skille CALLED UP again. Happens so often I lost track of whether he was promoted or demoted.
October 14, 200916 yr He is going down on off days to keep dollars under the cap. That is how close the Hawks are.
