Meanwhile, Cristobal Huet has a .932 save % with a 1.99 GAA. In Switzerland.

If he was playing poorly, it would be too easy to come up with a nickname for him.

I don't know if this one game makes it a "Whoops". Gagner had 5 goals and 17 assists on the year before last night. He's a good player, good for center depth at the right price.

 

Apparently he moved up over 100 slots on the NHL scoring leaders list last night.

The hawks lack toughness and now goal-tending. Crawford was terrible last night.

 

Patrick Kane and any center not named Toews are really not giving the Hawks anything at all...Bolland can on occasion.

 

If the Hawks lose in the first round is the Stan and Q honeymoon over?

 

The Hawks just appear to be really soft and are getting beaten up.

And more salt in the wound...

Interesting Fact: Sam Gagner had 8 points in just under 18 minutes. He outscored 8 NBAers who played at least the same amount of time.

Hawks have some serious problems right now. Emery actually looked good overall. But they've started committing dumb penalties and can't convert on power plays when they do get them. Kiprusoff was outstanding though.

2 more weeks til the Hawks play at the UC. And those first two games are versus STL & DET.

Phil Ray Emery in net tonight in Denver. How about an end to the 5-game losing streak boys?

Remember when Duncan Keith was the best defenseman in the league. Wtf happened

The badness of the defense is spreading like the plague. However, the one positive right now is that it seems that Patrick Kane is getting it going. Which happens to be coinciding with a Hossa/Toews lull.

2 & 7 on the ice for all 3 Avalanche goals so far.

The Hawks defense is just atrocious... they really need to address this b4 the trade dead line. They need a big stay at home defense man. Someone who could block some shots would be great.. a Sopel like d man just not as old and slow.

This team is very soft maybe carcillo is missed.

Intriguing notes from Hawks practice: Leddy, Montador, Hjalmarsson & Bickell not practicing. Bickell & Hjalmarsson are watching from the stands.....

Out of everything going wrong/lacking, this isn't one of those things. At all.

Being soft or missing Carcillo? They do not make the other team work hard and they are no longer doing the gritty type of things that they used to do.

 

I think Carcillo is a meathead but they need somebody to make the other team think a little about getting hit.

If this team is failing because they lack Daniel Carcillo, it was not a serious title contender anyway.

Carcillo. Not the problem.

I wish they would stick with the rivalries. There are plenty of them.

I get your point, but I think it's a good matchup. Two Original Six teams, & Toronto probably has the largest acrive fanbase in the league.

Its a good match up for sure. But I'd rather see Detroit with either STL or Chicago, and Toronto against someone like Montreal or Ottawa.

Sami Lepisto is playing tonight for the #Blackhawks. Looks like Brendan Morrison is a scratch.

I doubt you ever see two Canadian teams in the Winter Classic, which is why they have the Heritage Classic from time to time. The Winter Classic depends so much on advertising on TV viewers in the States, that I don't they would risk having two non-American teams play.
