Could Havlat be back this homestand?

a Blackhawk blog finally here.  Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough but another place to talk Blackhawk hockey is always a good thing.

As far as getting Havlat back...  While it's certainly (and quite obviously) a good thing to get him back in action, I hope he's not being rushed back to try and 'jumpstart' this team a bit.  I'm just worried about the frailty (sp?) of that shoulder.  The way it popped out so easily in that first game -- it didn't even look like a whole lot happened, other than a little shove to the back -- makes me fear what'll happen the first time Marty gets checked shoulder-first into the boards.

In any case, here's to hoping for the best.  We don't need him to be as phenomenal as he was last year (when he was on the ice).  Heck, he doesn't even need to PK anymore.  We just need him to be good enough to solidify a second scoring line after the RTK line.

I agree that it is a concern on whether or not that shoulder of his is ready for actual game contact. I'm such a big fan of him but he's proven to be quite fragile so far and he really needs to prove he can stay healthy. If he comes back and can play at the level we know he can, our offense will not be a problem.

Something like

Havlat/Lang/Sharp or Williams
Toews/Kane/Ruutu

makes me drool
