08-09' Blackhawks (46-24-12) 104 PTS - 4th Seed In The West!

The eyeball test.

 

Perhaps the least reliable way to judge a professional athlete's worth.

 

Not including yesterday's game, Huet was facing five fewer shots per game than Khabibulin. So the team plays a more offensive-minded game when Khabi is behind them.

 

Looks like their eyeballs work.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

"Huet was facing five fewer shots per game than Khabibulin."

 

At least half of those are rebounds being hacked back at him.

Good point.

That may or may not prove that they are less confident with Huet in net. That does not prove that their eyeball test is accurate or that their lack of confidence is appropriate.

No dude if you take pretend something means Huet sucks then you have to do it.

Show me how I'm wrong

 

We've now resorted an "eyeball test" ro judge the worth of a player who has above average numbers

I don't take sides in this endless argument... wasn't directed at you at all... it was directed at EVERYONE.

Oh

 

Ijust don't get why everybody has to constantly take shots at Huet. It's like the people who say Soriano sucks because of his flaws

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I bet you'd be hard pressed to find an actual example of someone saying Huet sucks in this thread. There are probably a few, but they aren't plentiful.

I may have said he sucks in a fit of anger during a game, but I know he doesn't. I can't believe we have to keep going back to this point in the argument. It's not Huet sucks vs. Huet doesn't suck. It's Khabi vs. Huet and whether the team will be improved for this year by trading Khabi for a forward.

 

I say they wouldn't.

I haven't seen a single person say Huet is better than Khabi or even that he should be starting over Khabi

 

Whatever, I don't even care. Just don't act like you don't know why the argument takes place. You've even admitted you irrationally hate Huet...then denied it like 10 minutes later

 

The next time Huet has a bad game there will be multiple posts trashing him, guaranteed. The next time Khabi has a bad game his name won't even be mentioned

[brinoch]

This is an inane argument.

 

Let's please stop fighting about whether or various people think Huet sucks. It's ridiculous. Debate as to whether you think Khabi or Huet is better (and why), but everyone please stop the characterizations of other people's positions -- particularly when statements have been made in the heat of the moment.

[kujay]

Stars have won their last two games since the drubbing at the UC last Saturday night. I have to think they'll start to suffer without Richards though. Just not enough firepower there.

 

Sounds like Tallon is playing it coy about possible trades. I can't imagine they wouldn't do anything though:

And Ziehm also writes that Q is kicking around the idea of starting Niemi tomorrow night:

I like the mid-afternoon game. Was considering going down to the St. Louis Mardi Gras celebration today, but it's too damn cold. So I'll be watching.

Dammit I forgot I have orientation for a volunteer thing at a food pantry... for a good cause, but it's at 11:30 :( Hope I'm home in time!

 

With no Richards, I think the Stars get trampled, again...

[kujay]

I really hate the WGN games. They are very seldom on Center Ice. So it's Dallas announcers for me. Oh well.

Okay, even worse, FSSW is showing Texas vs. Texas A&M women's basketball. I'd rather poke my eyes out. 2:00 left, and I think they are actually going to preempt the start of the game for this rubbish.

[kujay]

It's a 16-point game with 1:12 to go and these bitches are fouling!

That must be why my usual reliable feed hookup isn't working.

[kujay]

This effing game still has 45 seconds to go. There have been two timeouts, a clock problem and about 30 seconds of awful basketball in the past 10 minutes.

[kujay]

Finally, after a full commercial break they just joined the game in progress.

 

WTF are they doing at FSSW?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Feed on with 10:30 to play, and it's FSSW welcoming fans from the other game, so that must have been the problem.

 

We're wearing the awful black uniforms, so I almost wish it wasn't on.
