Don't Forget: Your SPG Picks
Lets get this out of the way early - we probably won't (and shouldn't) see Jonathan Toews or Brent Seabrook tonight. Neither practiced yesterday and with Dowell being reassigned, I'm guessing we'll see him or some other IceHog hop on I-90 and get here before the start (Update - yeah, it's going to be Dowell tonight). Luckily, the Hawks are facing a schedule that isn't too horrible. The next game against a team with a winning record is November 5th against the Coyotes. The Hawks will miss Toews and Seabrook but can hopefully still grab some points while they're out.
Tonight though is obviously the return of Jesus Havlat Christ. I know he played a game here in the pre-season but that really doesn't count. Though of course it is a bit troubling that Havlat had two points in each of the pre-season meetings. In his final season, Havlat showed us he was able to elevate his game when he needed or maybe just when he wanted to - either way, he'll probably have quite a chip on his shoulder and there are plenty of examples of players doing their best against the teams that gave up on 'em.
As I said earlier though, the pre-season is just the pre-season. It doesn't matter. Remember how I brought up the fact that the Detroit Lions were 4-0 in the pre-season before going 0-16? Well the Maple Leafs had one of the best pre-seasons this fall (6-3-0) but are currently without a win (0-7-1). So I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin..
The Wild are having a pretty terrible go of it so far too though. With only 6 points they're at the bottom of the Western Conference. Havlat only has one goal so far and is a pretty terrible -8, which is second worst in the NHL for forwards. Even worse? 3 of 5 worst +/- ratings for forwards belong to Wild skaters (the other two are Predators). Mikko Koivu is a -9.. worst in the league. Not too surprising then that the Wild are win-less on the road (and have needed OT/SO to win at home). The last time the Hawks faced a team that was win-less on the road though things didn't go too well.
Last year the Wild pretty much had the Hawks number (winning 3 of 4) but with the departure of Lemaire we may actually see a hockey game that doesn't bore us to tears. Unfortunately the Wild seem to be struggling to adapt to this watchable style of hockey. So uh, what else to say about the Wild? Did you know that the Wild have two players who are 6'8" and 250+lbs? One is of course throwback enforcer Derek Boogaard who has played only 3 games so far this year and is questionable for tonight's game after a concussion, illness and lack of talent at anything other than punching people very very hard. The other is John Scott (not to be confused with Bon Scott) who uh.. yeah.. punches and hits people...
As for other news for the Blackhawks - Cristobal Huet will be getting his second start in a row and after a solid effort against the Predators. Lets hope to hear some actual genuine cheers for him to start the game. Huet has a .918 SV% and 2.14 GAA for his career against the Wild. I wouldn't hope for the Hawks power play to break its 3-game scoreles streak - the Wild have the second best penalty kill in the league.
Also - word is just in from Mirtle that Dowell is back tonight, so yeah, no Toews. We'll get the lines up here in a bit.
Lets Go Hawks

Minor correction
“Not too surprising then that the Wild are undefeated on the road (and have needed OT/SO to win at home). "
I assume you wanted to say the wild are winless on the road. It just confused me for a second, not that it’s that difficult to do or anything.
Stream
Where’s the best place to watch this game online? I have no TV and I have yet to find a good streaming site online.
atdhe.net is where I’m going to check first…see how their feed is.
if that’s not working, or working well, there’s a couple links on www.myp2pforum.eu, in the NHL forum, and then in the “Ice Hockey Today” thread.

Well--
I’m guessing that the catcalls for Huet are retired for the moment. Which is to the good?
But: what to do with JHC? Do we reward the skill, or the douchebaggery? I’m undecided.
Maybe somebody can call up Burish and see what he would do. (This assumes he can take a break from his stay at the Castle Anthrax.)

The return of the Havlat
Wonder if Havlat net a goal at the 10:00 minute mark of the 2nd period if someone would receive a million dollars? Wouldn’t that be interesting.
All things considered Havlat was a very good player for the Blackhawks and might have achieved more if not for his multitude of injuries. I’m sure Havlat still keeps in touch with many of his former teammates however, I’m sure the Hawks might give him a rough ride considering his comments after his departure. So with that “it must have been love, but it’s over now” and the game must begin.
Hopefully Huet can repeat his performance from Saturday and look solid in goal once again. So without Toews and Seabrook who’s going to step it up? Are we going to see Sopel for 23 minutes again tonight (gulp)? What about Madden, does he have a goal in him tonight? Can Byfuglien continue to play like a beast? Let’s hope so and hopefully the game end with the warriors from the Windy City raising their sticks to the UC faithful after another victory.
LET’S GO HAWKS!!!

Period One
The Hawks played an excellent first 18:30 of the first but kind of went to sleep after the second goal and ended up taking a needless penalty with :30 seconds left so hopefully the Hawks can kill it off.
Brouwer with another goal and on the PP-euricha!
Bolland sweet goal as there could’ve been more with the chances the Hawks had.

First you whistle a play offsides after the puck handler gets to the low slot, and now this.

I’d go back to his swamp thing look from his Vancouver days. That would be a beauty for Halloween. 18 inches of greasy kentucky waterfall.
"Call Detroit, tell dem... BULLSHIT!"
Geez, I hate saying something like that, and then...
…looking the guy up on Wikipedia and seeing he’s only a few years older than me.
On the flip side, John Madden’s just a year younger than Nolan, and just a couple years ahead of me, and I don’t think of him as old at all….probably because I went to Michigan most of the time he was in Ann Arbor…

2nd Period
The Hawks continued to play well defensively however took 2 needless penalties. The PP was once again enemic as was the Hawks performance at the face-off circle as Hungryhawk posted 26-9 for Minnesota. Ouch!
Huet was even more solid as was his puck handling skills which was probably another thing he worked on with Waite. I can say I’m impressed with the way Huet has handled it thus far into the game. Another solid period from Huet, good for him.
As enemic as the PP has been the PK has been the polar opposite.

The problem with 52
was that it only makes sense if you read it as a trade (or trades) and have the companion next to you. Otherwise, it’s a mess.

At least DC doesn’t have to create an enitrely new universe to revisit their characters. DC likes to retcon, which can give you a good jumping on point.

I first saw him
When he was with the Houston Aeros last year before being called up, went to a Wolves game for my brother’s bachelor party and we heckled him all night. Best part was one of the guys was very polite about it, after our Cluterbuck!!!!!!! YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!!! He would follow it up with a Cluterbuck, We don’t like you very much.
More importantly that game I saw a ref take a slapshot to the nuts, and he was out of it for a few minutes. It was glorious especially since they were making terrible calls.
wait what?
Did anyone mention that they love Madden?
Cuz I love Madden.

Hard to say but maybe the attention to detail is much better since the injuries to Toews and Seabrook. Only thing lacking is winning draws.

Yes.
For sure our goalie got better. Much better. Just like we all knew he would :P
"Call Detroit, tell dem... BULLSHIT!"
I wouldn't necessarily say it brought them together since they're a pretty tight bunch...
but guys definitely know they have to step up with Tazer and Seabs out, and so far they’ve done just that.

That's back to back games where Huet has looked good.
Looks like the extra work he put in during his time off has paid off so far. Let’s hope he can keep it up.

HAWKS WIN!!!
Very solid effort from everybody tonight from the goaltender out. Kaner with a twisted goal and Brouwer nailed another one in (he’s becoming a sniper…well maybe not). Keith was awesome as always and Sopel wasn’t a total clusterfuck, in fact you could make the case that he was very good (feels wrong to say that but it’s true).
2pts and are now 7-3-1 the best start for the Hawks since 1995-96.
Next up the Predators…..again….why?
Huet should get the start as Q will play the veteran on the road with Niemi getting the nod at home against the Habs.

just saw kane's goal
it is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! great effort by hawks tonight.
The announcers sucked ass
but if was fucking awesome to hear a play by play guy say, “Huet says NO”. I don’t care who we played, five periods of shut out deserves respect.
I introduced a friend to hockey tonight
She looked kinda confused most of the game, but her eyes shot open on Kaners goal.
That was fucking awesome.
Chicagoan in the Lou.
I was confused the first time I saw hockey
but now I’m addicted…it was also a Hawks game.
I was going to finally de-lurk on a game post here tonight but got a cheap last-minute ticket. I saw 5 Hawks Havlat jerseys/shirts there and probably 4 Wild jerseys…
