Each one is a raging douche. One in particular is erstwhile Hawk Adam Burish, who was ejected from a 5-2 loss in Winnipeg (if you haven't been keeping tabs, Winnipeg pretty much destroys everyone at home and sucks on the road, damnedest thing) for throwing some player's glove into the crowd. Whattabitch. Brandon Bollig will probably have a stupid fight with Burish, Dowell, or one of the Stars' other plentiful meatheads.
Anyway, Emery has the flu and is bad again, so Crawford will be in net against a mundane and overachieving dull-ass Stars team. (see what I did there.) I believe Hjalmarsson is traveling with the team, but not likely to dress.
Does anyone remember when Michael Frolik was on this team?
Must-win game tonight because the standings are getting ridiculous in the middle of the conference. Again. To wit:
Code:
06 CHI 71 38-25-08 84 pts. 33 ROW
07 PHX 72 35-26-11 81 pts. 30 ROW
08 COL 73 38-30-05 81 pts. 29 ROW
09 SJ 70 35-25-10 80 pts. 28 ROW
10 CGY 71 34-25-12 80 pts. 31 ROW
11 LA 70 33-25-12 78 pts. 28 ROW
The Stars are in third because they're a division leader, but at 83 points it's tenuous.
Hawks actually come into a night with games in hand on someone, which like never happens. They can pull away from the blob with a string of wins here, and tonight would be the time to start: it'd put them five points up on the FutureNords with ten to play, which doesn't guarantee sixth place or a playoff spot but sure makes me feel pretty good about the prospect. My guess is that San Jose and Calgary ultimately grab seventh and eighth, respectively: the Sharks have 12 to play and too much talent to be this bad, and the Flames seem to be Getting Hot At Just The Right Time. Avs are doing it on shootouts, duct tape, and miracles, so no. Yotes had a hot streak during our cold streak and have since largely regressed to the mean, so no to them. I had the Kings winning their division handily this year, so it shocks me to say this, but if they had it in them to really get it going, they would have by now.
So, um, win, I guess.
EDIT: OH GOOD MORE BORDERLINE NHL GOALIES
Quote:
The Chicago Blackhawks have recalled goaltender Carter Hutton from the American Hockey League’s Rockford IceHogs.
Hutton, 26, has compiled a 17-9-3 record with two shutouts and a .915 save percentage in 32 regular-season tilts with the IceHogs this year and also made 14 appearances with the ECHL’s Toledo Walleye. Since signing a one-year contract with the Blackhawks on Feb. 24, Hutton has posted a 7-1-1 record and .947 save percentage in nine AHL contests.
Look at that record, just good enough for people to think we have another Antti Niemi on our hands, then he'll shit the bed against real teams in three games' time. CAN'T WAIT
