November 10, 200916 yr Damn. This team is having no luck at all. Bolland was such as stabilizing force.
November 11, 200916 yr QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Nov 10, 2009 -> 02:50 PM) Bolland out indefinitely with back surgery. He had back problems last year, and the Hawks decided to give him a 5 year contract. Oops.... Estimates are that he will be out 3-4 months. Ugh.
November 11, 200916 yr QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Nov 10, 2009 -> 06:29 PM) In other news, he changed his number to 55. Who changed his number to 55? Ben Eager is still listed as 55 on the Hawks website, and has been #55 for quite some time. Edited November 11, 200916 yr by Steve9347

November 11, 200916 yr Kaners roof shot got 75% of the vote for Hawks play of the week... What were the other 25% of voters thinking??? http://blackhawks.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id...=rss-blackhawks
November 12, 200916 yr Kane has taken such a big step forward. He just dominated the OT. Too bad they couldn't finish it. Now it comes down to the shootout.

November 12, 200916 yr Versteeg also continues to be awesome. He is always at the other end of a Kane cross ice pass, always crashing the net and getting good chances. We cant let that guy go anywhere.

Damn you salary cap! ...and Stan Bowman/Dale Tallon/whomever you want to blame for fax miscues.

November 12, 200916 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 12, 2009 -> 02:59 PM) And Barker. Truth, though I could do without Barker. Outside of Hjalms and Keith, all our D men can be swapped out IMO.

November 13, 200916 yr Its hard to argue that the Hawks don't have one of the best D corps in hockey.
November 13, 200916 yr http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2009/...s-practice.html Light contact for Hossa at Blackhawks' practice November 12, 2009 1:33 PM | No Comments By Chris Kuc Blackhawks winger Marian Hossa upped the ante in his rehabilitation from shoulder surgery after today's practice. The veteran participated in light contact drills after practice with defenseman Jordan Hendry, making it another step for Hossa as he nears his Hawks debut. "That was the first try to see how the shoulder is," said Hossa, who signed a 12-year, $62.8 million free-agent with the Hawks on July 1. "I talked to the doctor (Wednesday) and he said I could try it after practice, play one-on-one battles with a little contact and it felt not bad. I had a few battles in the corner. I felt pretty comfortable but I feel when I'm still pushing the power is not there. I'm still working on it at the gym, lifting a little heavier weights and getting the strength back." Hossa, who had surgery July 24 on his right shoulder, is still targeting a return during the Hawks' six-game road trip that begins Nov. 19 in Calgary. "I've been working on my conditioning for a long time," Hossa said. "When you're doing bicycles and skating after practices it's still different than the game shape. I try to do the best I can on my own but it's going to take a little bit at the games." Hossa said the next step is participating in full practices with full contact. "A lot more practices are going to be like this (with) after practice just a little contact and then I'll have probably next week full contact and I'll keep practicing regularly," Hossa said.
