Crawford to get the start tonight vs Sabres. Hawks also recalled Ben Smith to take Carbomb's spot on roster.

Ok now that the weekend shenanigans are over with ( Thank god). Time to get back to the real shit

The 2nd half for the Hawks kicks off with a humdinger of a matchup with the Canucks in Vancity. Brendan Morrison makes his return. Welcome to the Canucks / Hawks rivalry Brendan. He'll bring alot to us, not so much in scoring, but in faceoffs, experience, lower line leadership,etc.

Hawks arent done trading yet, looks like Tuomu Ruttu is on Hawks radar. http://www.mynhltraderumors.com/ ....a possibility.


Jimmy Hayes sent back to Rockford.....for now.

Toews will back in the lineup Tuesday Night.

Good article here on Kaner. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports...,3409442.story

Four out of three people have difficulty with fractions

Commish - Twisted Wrister Fantasy Hockey League

12 team, $$$, 24 players, Weekly, H2H, limited keeper (8), multi-cat (G, A, PIMs, Hits, SOG, HT/ W, GA, SV%, SO)

Start: 2C, 2RW, 2LW, 4D, 2G

Hawks will either win the 5th seed ( own tiebreaker vs Det) or the 6th seed.

So we either play Nashville or Pacifice division winner in Round 1.

__________________

Well with 30 seconds to go the Hawks give up the 2-1 lead and thus lose out on the 5th seed to play Nash. We now fall to 6th seed and play Pacific winner.

Blackhawks vs Coyotes

Here we go folks! 'Yotes have a 3 -1 season series advantage over the Hawks and they are playing real strong hockey peaking at the right time. They are playing " scary" good.


Tippet and Q go way back as they were once teammates. Gets ready people, this one is gonna be good. Let's hope Mike Smith has aleady played his best hockey of the year and cools off in a hurry!
