January 10, 201016 yr QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Jan 9, 2010 -> 09:55 PM) This is one you just hope becomes a lesson learned--gotta play hard (and smart) for all 60. That two minutes was the worst hockey we have played all year long.
January 10, 201016 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 10, 2010 -> 11:14 AM) Huet folded like a cheap suit. They need to put him and Alexei on the same ADHD medication.
January 11, 201016 yr 2-0 Ducks after one, so that is 6 straight goals by the other team... in two periods! Ugh. Wake up boys.
January 11, 201016 yr Hiller is just owning the third period. That goalmouth scramble was a thing of beauty.
January 11, 201016 yr We can handle a random loss here and there. I'm much more concerned with what kept Hossa out.

I hope he is fine. I think he will be. Coach Q said he should be out there Thursday. 2 game losing streak, but it was bound to happen sometime. In these next 3 games, they should take 4 or 5 points.

Considering how much they dominated in the 2nd loss, its a pretty good sign.
January 12, 201016 yr I would like to see Huet win a game once. I do not think the defense of the Hawks will give him the opportunity but he has lost more games than he has won.

January 13, 201016 yr Bolland is back skating, its hard to believe, but with this team having so much great success I almost forgot about him. He should be a huge boost. Will Sharp move off of center with Bolland coming back? I know injuries are bound to happen, but there are more forwards than spots when everyone is healthy... I could see them moving sharpie back to wing, and moving brouwer to 4th line, but it seems as if they like having his big body out there when Kane is on the ice. Either way someone gets moved off the rotation when bolland gets back....who's it gonna be? Kopecky? Then when Burish gets back i have no idea what they will do....
January 13, 201016 yr Yeah, quite the forward conundrum, which is a good thing. Some of the excess will be dealt to consolidate (it seems almost like a guarantee these days), and the rest will slide in to make it work. You can't demote Brouwer to the 4th line, he's been fantastic. It's a tricky situation, but we'll see. Four lines deep is always a good thing!

Bolland will center the 2nd line with Sharp moving back to winger. Not sure which line, but this is the plan. The plan was to have Burish replace Kopecky, but now he is gelling with his linemates, so who knows.l
January 13, 201016 yr Khabby out 12 weeks for back surgery: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/hock...tml?eref=sircrc

It would not have been ideal. Such is the risk in signing a 37 year old goaltender. (37 today, actually, so Happy Birthday you poor sap)

Sharp-Toews-Kane Ladd(Versteeg)-Bolland-Hossa (don't think Q should break up Ladd & Bolly, but who knows) Versteeg(Ladd)-Madden-Brouwer(Byfuglien) Eager-Fraser(Kopecky)-Burish (don't want Byfuglien or Brouwer on the 4th line) This is more or less putting the other guys at their natural positions.

I think you'll see this: Brouwer-Toews-Kane Sharp-Bolland-Hossa Steeg-Madden-Buff Ladd-Fraser-Kopecky/Eager They'll have to healthy scratch some folks. When Burish comes back, you have to unload a winger on the 3rd or 4th line.

What about trading Versteeg and Sopel for Neidermayer, and then having the lines be this: Brouwer Toews Kane Sharp Bolland Hossa Ladd Madden Byfuglien Kopecky Burish Eager Keith Seabrook Campbell Hjalmarsson Neidermayer Barker/Hendry Fraser can be a healthy scratch. Just a thought...
