Huet got the shaft big time. In the NHL, you can't renegotiate contracts so he couldn't have given money back stay with the Hawks or go to another NHL team for less. If you really look at it, the Hawks really just screwed him big time. Kinda feel bad for him. Yeah, I know he is making a ton of money, but still the principles involved here are preyty bush.

And yet, something tells me he won't be out on the forefront of the union the next time the NHL CBA comes up, saying "we need players to be able to reduce their contracts mid-contract to stay in the league!".

There is about 22 million reasons why I think the guy will be OK.

No one forced him to accept that offer to play over there. It's the big leagues, baby. It was either play over there for, what, an extra 2 million? Or play in Rockford. He chose his course of action.

 

Had he performed to the level of which the contract was signed for, it wouldn't have been an issue.

So uh, Nick Boynton so far this year, BLEGH

She may have made that noise at some point.

 

Blues just scored. 3-2 now.

lol hawks, game ovah!

lol hawks, season ovah!

 

Is it me or is Duncan Keith not even playing good this year? I know he is getting loads of ice time, but he is making so many careless plays in our own end.

That's not what Jen Patterson said

oh snap!

See, that's what happens when you let her into your life

Hawks were up 2-0 now down 3-2. Dumb major by Brouwer led to a PP goal and 2 other deflections have the Hawks down. They seem to be lacking that timeliness and crisp passing they've had.

Can't win em all... Hawks are the best team in the NHL.

Fiction.

 

100% true. The bottom of the roster has a lot of work to do.

Just booked a trip to Nashville to see the Hawks play the Preds in January. Not sure what type of hockey atmosphere to expect down there, but never been to Nashville, so should be a good time.

except it's going to be January.

Better than January in Chicago.

Exactly. Average January temps 15 degrees higher than Chicago, I'll take it. Just gotta make sure my flights can leave O'Hare

Hawks practiced with these lines today, should be interesting to watch tommorrow night:

 

Skille/Toews/Sharp

Brouwer/Kopecky/Hossa

Stalberg/Bolland/Kane

Bickell/Dowell/Pisani

I'm praying to everything that Hossa's injury isn't too serious.

I am hoping as well... sounds like it could possibly be a shoulder injury again...this has me nervous. Not sure who is reporting on Waddle and Silvy right now about it.

I'd assume its Jesse Rogers, this is from his Twitter:

 

ESPNChiHawks No hossa on ice. Not a surprise. When q does not say "day to day" you have to worry

 

ESPNChiHawks But no call up at least not yet so that's something

ESPNChiHawks 2 weeks for hossa

 

 

Good news if true, coulda been much worse

Chicago Blackhawks winger Marian Hossa will be out "likely up to a couple of weeks," coach Joel Quenneville said on Thursday.

 

Hossa left Wednesday's game with an apparent arm or shoulder injury in the second period after falling near a corner on a Blackhawks power play. Officially, the team is deeming it an "upper body injury."

 

"It's not of a serious nature," Quenneville said.

 

The Blackhawks were still discussing who they might recall from Rockford of the AHL to replace Hossa on the roster.

 

Hossa was off to a quick start this season after missing the beginning of last year with a shoulder injury. He is currently second on the team with 11 points.

 

This whole "upper/lower body injury" thing in the NHL is pretty damn annoying.

 

Hawks win!

agreed. Even though they said it's not serious I'm still deeply cynical about injuries as vague as this. As a fan, the more mysterious quite often leads to more serious. BUT, I'm hoping this is just precautionary as it's early and they clearly need him the whole season.
