So we're still not seeing much yet today but things should pick up any minute now.. at least if we believe TSN desperately trying to justify their coverage today. Since there isn't too much to talk about though, lets see what some completely random people on Twitter are saying about the Blackhawks:
"If the Hawks cannot deal #Huet, I bet they bury his salary in the minors and get a decent backup or starter #NHL #Blackhawks" - SeanMcIrish
"Wants to go to a Blackhawks game....anyone ever been? If figure it should be as much fun as a baseball game....lol" - MACnificent513
"Not big Huet fan but if #blackhawks trade him today I don't like chances for playoff run this year." #goaltendingwinsinnhl - emc597
"come on blackhawks ick up a goalie who can actually stop pucks every night! thats why youre paying them!" - NoochieBoochie
"Will the #blackhawks change up their lineup before the trade deadline? I personally hope they drop Brian Campbell. not much ROI on that guy!" - Csolarz
"Logistics be damned, if the Blackhawks want my merchandise money, they'll deal for Ryan Miller. Also acceptable: John Vanbiesbrouck." - 27up27down
"I hope the @blackhawks pick up roloson for a cup run" - ianbaran
So yeah - Twitter can be great on days like this for breaking news but lets not forget that it's also a complete waste of time as well. Anyways.. on to the second to last hour.

But when it was suggested to him that Toews v. Kane seems likely to become a sidebar to every future international hockey tournament, he smiled and said: "I'd like us to win something together, too."

I read it while eating my breakfast..
fairly annoying but at least they did address waiting for the whistle and the annoyance of everyone about yelling “shoot!”

sort of
I don’t think the couple interviewed really understood why they got yelled at, unfortunately. Instead of the bandwagon quiz it may have been better if they put up a primer for newbies so nobody gets pissy at the UC.

His NHL information comes from
NHL ‘95 and the gold medal game of the recent olympics. That’s it. That’s all he knows. I’d bet the farm on it.

u might be giving him a little to much...
i think giving him NHL ‘95 knowledge is a little much… i don’t think it get pasts the olympics minus the GMG cuz he was AWFUL giving up 3 goals to CANADA the weakest team in the olympics!!!

so I check out ESPNchicago.com....
and there is a big picture of Huet, and above the picture it says “Breaking News…………..Bulls’ Joakim Noah to miss three weeks”
Almost prematurely ejecthueted (pathetic rejoke on my part)
"In an ideal world I would have all 10 fingers on my left hand so my right hand could just be a fist for punching."
So far..
Phoenix is looking good on their moves today.. they’re the winners so far but it’s not like they’ve had a lot of competition.
Repost
Scotty Bowman says no chance Vokoun going to Hawks
That doesn’t sound like smoke. Time to start loving us some Huet/Niemi again? Hopefully once this is over, they can start focusing.

According to ESPN’s Scott Burnside, Nashville is shopping goalie Dan Ellis does that do anything for you? I really doesn’t for me, but I don’t know the contract situation either.

"In an ideal world I would have all 10 fingers on my left hand so my right hand could just be a fist for punching."
it's been a while since they've been buyers..
so they’re just going nuts with it today. Same thing happened with Tallon once the checkbook was finally opened up for him.

So Twitter can be good for somethings..
here’s a link I found on there for Tuomo Ruutu playing Megadeath on Guitar Hero
is it that...
quiet before the storm thing going on? (pretty lame analogy but it’s all i can think right now)
Hockey is life! Lets go Hawks!
Oh hey..
Did you know you can buy tonight’s issue of The Committed Indian even if you’re not going to the game or our after party? Check out the link on the left side bar on our main page.
But then I don't get the pleasure
of seeing your smiling faces outside the gates!

A couple questions for all of you expert capologists/UFA experts on this board
Hypothetically speaking, say the Hawks were to trade for a goalie who would cost about 6 mil against the cap, but they couldn’t trade of Huet, so they decide to bury him in the minors and he clears waivers. How much of his salary would still count against the Hawks’ cap this year and the years going forward? Does Huet’s salary still count against the Hawks cap if he’s picked up by another team either during the waiver period or after the season?
Second question, why would anyone in their right mind want to trade for a UFA’s rights after the season ends but before the july 1 UFA signing period? I get it that the team has exclusive bargaining power with that player, but isn’t that player just going to wait til July and see what he gets on the open market. Even if he signs with the team that traded for his rights, wouldn’t he first wait and go on the open market to raise his value. Is there something I’m missing here, such as as softer cap blow to the team if a player signs before he hits free agency? Thanks in advance for any answers. didn’t want to make a fan post out of it, so I figured I’d stick my questions in this thread
At least in regards to your second question – sometimes a player does sign with a team he’s traded to without testing the market. Jay Bouwmeester was traded to Calgary and signed with them on June 30th..
by Matthew Dirt on Mar 3, 2010 12:48 PM CST up reply actions
it’s certainly a risky move.. but I’d imagine a team wouldn’t make it unless they were just about certain they could sign the player before pulling the trigger
by Matthew Dirt on Mar 3, 2010 12:48 PM CST up reply actions
Yeah, I know it's been done a couple of times.
I’m just trying to figure out why. My only guess is that the player is so endeared to a team that traded for him that he signs with them before testing the market. I’ve always assumed there’s a financial reason why this is done. But maybe there isn’t.
by EamusCatuli23 on Mar 3, 2010 12:53 PM CST up reply actions
To add to that
Why wouldn’t Calgary wait to sign Bouwmeester until July 1, as opposed to trading away anything at all?

I think i’d like to see that fight more than I wanted to see the JR/Milbury fight..

Panger would beat the shit out of Pierre
And it would be one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen.

Watching TSN TradeCentre
Did anybody catch the annoyed exchange between McGuire and Paner regarding who centers the Caps second line? Panger went on to say the Morrison is not a second-line center, and mentioned that Steckl plays center. McGuire says no, Flieschman does – Panger says no, I did the STL game against the Caps he played center – Mcguire would not let him have the last word. Panger just says WHATEVER!!!
Go Panger!

not a fail at all
For those of us not watching, the description of the exchange is much appreciated!
Kuc says..
he saw Stan Bowman in the hallway in the UC and he wasn’t on the phone and wasn’t rushing around anywhere.. So there’s that
Doesn’t Stan have minions for these things? I imagine that he gave his orders this morning and is just waiting for them to kneel before him and say “It is done master”
