Darling gives up a lot of meaty rebounds. Also his long legs give him range from post to post but he is very weak on the five hole. Not sure he's more than a backup at best. More likely he's Rockford fodder.

 

on nhl.com they had the series of the shoot out of last nite game.

 

I notice that in 2 of the shooters, they were aiming for Darling 5 hole. trying

for him to move and expose it. not a bad strategy.

 

ref Bickell, it looked as his stats were showing that he was off to a nice

gaem. 1g 1a and hits, not bad. but he did have that give away.

 

Versteeg, good game. ohhh how that pains me to write that. but the

Hawks won.

That was some really nice skating on his goal.

Yesterday did him in. As big as he is between the pipes he leaves a huge 5 hole at times. Sens were aiming there almost every shot of the shootout.

 

He's an AHL lifer or career backup at best,which is fine by me, I would rather him sit on the bench to backup CC and Raanta play everyday but oh well.

too bad i notice that he has a lightning fast glove hand.

kind of remind me of ken dryden.

 

eddie the eagle had the same problem, when he was in denver in

college i can't remember if it was him or the coach told him to play

somewhat from his knees when the other team on in the zone.

 

danm about darling. very quick glove hand.

 

My god the Hawks suck right now.

 

It's time to put some blame on Q too for switching the lines so much.

Hawks lead the league in shots on goal by a large margin, yet are bottom 10 in goals scored, hockey gonna hockey. No need to panic yet.

Last time Blackhawks lost consecutive home games by 1-0 score: 1/26/1939 vs Red Wings 1/29/1939 vs Canadiens

What was sharps injury.

0 goals, 0 goals, 5 goals and could have tallied a few more.

 

Feel free to spread those out, boys.

What was sharps injury.

Knee. Did not look good. Q just said he's out "for a bit." Usually that means weeks in his language.

I saw indefinitely. How bad did it look

Emelin (Mon D man) hit Sharp into the boards, and it looks like Sharp's knee went pretty hard into the boards from the hit.

 

Sharp hardly put any pressure on his knee coming off the ice and to the locker room.

s***. Teuvo time I guess

 

so the Hawks won and big. that it great and with a shut out.

 

in the injury rpt, sharp has no rtn date. that means its bad. well

like someone said, its Tevo time. I wonder which line they put him

in?

 

I wouldn't mind seeing Tevo with Kane and Toews, but then again, i am

not the coach.

 

i saw the Bickell didn't have his 5 hits he promise but he did have 2 assits.

i guess with a win and 2 assists, that might be a fair trade off.

Sounds like Sharp will be out at least a month.

whew..... that is good news. a month for the injury and 2 to 3 weeks to

get in game shape, sounds like xmas.

 

any news on who was called up??

It depends on if they are willing to put on the long term injured list. If they do that, then they save enough cap room to call up someone good. If not, who knows.

Reports saying Regin will the the guy called up, as we were told yesterday. If not a kid, he's the right guy. Versatile.

#Blackhawks lines: 28-19-88, 20-65-81, 29-16-23, 12-91-11.

Looks good. Richards on 4th line, just like we all hoped, we have a 4th line center.

Anybody catch a look of this year's winter classic sweaters?

 

They're better than last years but I was still kinda disappointed they didn't use the vintage Indian head.

To quote Barry Rozner, shoot puck. Shoot puck at net. Shoot puck with traffic at net. Sometimes puck goes in.

 

Hawks were getting too many shots to not start scoring. I don't think Niemi has been very good at the UC since joining the Sharks

That was a nice first period flurry to put the game out of reach for the Hawks last night. Great effort in general. Nice to see the offense playing like it should.
