Gaaaahhhhh! Versteeg loves to stop and wait like that, but it does leave him open to getting crushed.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Why is it that we didn't spend some of that FA money on Houssa last offseason?

 

He wouldn't have come to us. He went for a lower deal to go to the Stanley Cup champions, something we haven't been in a long time (and are still a ways away from being).

He took a one year deal to play for Detroit. It's really amazing. He could've gotten a massive contract elsewhere.

[UMFan83]

Huet + shootout + explosive scoring team = flip to Bulls game.

[Cynosure]

Oh God

[kujay]

Hey, maybe he'll pleasantly surprise us...

 

Maybe???

[UMFan83]

Maybe???

Nope, he just looked embarassingly bad on that one.

Yup.

[UMFan83]

And that's another SOL. Blackhawks lose! Blackhawks lose!

 

Man we suck at the SO, especially our shooters...

[UMFan83]

That was a pretty bad shot by Kane

[Hairyducked Idiot]

This team wants me to hate them. So many "moral victories"

[kujay]

Damn. God I hate Detroit.

 

I know it's a broken record, but Huet put this team in a 2-0 hole and it cost them the game.

 

The guy is showing ZERO improvement. People were saying he just needed to play several games in a row to get into the flow of things. That happened, and it didn't help.

 

So, what do we get tomorrow night? Crawford? If I'm Q, that's my play.

[Cynosure]

LMAO @ a 1 vs 1 competition deciding a team game, what a [expletive] joke.

My God the Hawks are horrible at shootouts.It's basically an automatic loss when they go to it since no one can make any moves or make a damn shot..I would hate being in the playoffs and going to a shootout knowing before hand that wed lose

Luckily there are no shootouts in the playoffs.

It's a good thing there are no shootouts in the playoffs!

this team is full of chokers right now, which doesn't bode well for the playoffs. they're still not close to being a true stanley cup contender, especially with the nightmarish goalie situation.

Unfortunately, we've been good at losing in OT too.

...And we're graced with Huet in goal again tonight. Outstanding.

 

Love that promo CSN just showed for the Ottawa game.

 

Tune in as the Hawks try to veto the Senators!

 

Veto? They're not playing the Buffalo Bills! :D

[kujay]

Sharp is all over it early on, and even Sopel has a pulse!

Sopel has a playoff beard.

Yes he does, and it's a substandard effort.
