Sergei Federov scores.

Gordie Howe scores.

Steve Yzerman scores.

Ovechkin already has 2 goals in next Sunday's Hawks-Caps game.

Maybe Huet purposely blew this game so that the Wings would move up in the playoff standings so we wouldn't face them in the first round.

Sadly...maybe. We have 2 marginal NHL goaltenders on our team. It's a major major major weakness on an otherwise solid team. It would be like if last year's Yankees team had Carlos Silva and Aaron Heilman to pitch all the team's bullpen innings for the entire season.

I know I'm ripping on Huet relentlessly, but the defense has been godawful lately. Campbell is pretty much solely to blame for that 4th goal. Remember when we thought the Hawks defense was a strength? It's playing like it's a major weakness right now.

4 goals for the Wings in like a 4 minute span. The guys on NBC are having a field day ripping on Huet and the Hawks goaltending in general. They seem to think the Hawks are going nowhere in the playoffs with these goaltenders. 4 goals on 8 shots this period for the Wings.

Out goes Huet! Q is pissed!!

4-2 Wings. Can you crawl into a hole and die Huet?

I was waiting for that. 3-2 Wings They are better than us when healthy

Man they are absolutely dominating us right now.

You only had to miss 28 seconds to have that happen to you if you'd have timed it right.

NBC guys ripping on Huet saying what we've all said, that he's not tracking the puck properly.

Huet king of the soft goal wow

And Huet shows up in his usual form. Tie game. 2 goals in less than a minute

Dammit...had a goal whiped away on a BS call and now it's 2-1

It's nice so see another team get punished for a turnover in their zone! 2-0!

I think the Wings have slightly outplayed the Hawks so far, but it's not a drastic difference in play. Obviously the Hawks hold the advantage in the score, but the Wings have done a good job of controlling the puck, and getting a body on shots and passes when the Hawks have had the puck in the Wings zone.

Has Andres Blanco gotten any playing time so far this spring? I was hoping he could claim the 25th man spot over Tracy or Millar.

This is all I got from Cubs.com regarding possible lineups. Those of you praying to see Fontenot on TV today will be sorely disappointed.

I think what you said about Green is pretty accurate. He could be starter on bad team/great 6th man material.

You're baiting me but I'll bite. I'll start out by saying that I have a lot of respect for Westbrook and I am impressed with his abilities. He's lit up Derrick Rose on the few occasions they've met. But they are two different types of players you are comparing. Westbrook IS a great distributor, he can rebound very well for a point guard. And yes Rose definitely has his shortcomings on defense. Severe shortcomings. But defense is something that players can improve over a career. Sure he probably doesn't have above average defense in him, but I'm confident he'll be an average defender or slightly better in time. Rose has proven to be a scorer, or at least is one right now because no one on the Bulls can score besides him most of the time. If you put Kevin Durant on the Bulls instead of Luol Deng, wouldn't you think Rose's assist numbers would be higher? If the Bulls had one reliable person who could shoot from outside, don't you wonder if Rose would be an even better scorer? If Rose didn't have a player on his team averaging 12 rebounds a game, do you think maybe his rebounds would be better? I mean who knows, but right now Derrick Rose is taking a pretty crappy team with no scoring ability and has at least made it into a .500 team. Westbrook is the 2nd or 3rd guy who will always defer to the superstar. Bottom line, if I had to start a team tomorrow and had to pick one of the 2, I think I'd take Rose. But as far as who will be better when all is said and done, I'd be willing to say "too early to tell"

I tend to agree, although I won't discount that it could be better than expected. However, there is no way the starting pitching staff will be worse than 2006's. Actually even 2005's wasn't all that great. 2006 was a mix and match of every but 2005's was Zambrano, Maddux, Prior (sometimes), Rusch, Jerome Williams

yes, that's exactly the same as winning a 7 game series in the playoffs and huet wasn't bad last night ??? Who said anything about the playoffs in that post?
