so let me guess, philly fans are back to hating mcnabb again
-
those are both amusing, but not as amusing as the faces of everybody on the eagles' sideline as they realize all they needed to do is win one of the past 2 games to advance to the divisional round and they are getting outscored by a combined 58-14
-
yeah, that's what i'm saying. the hawks are good enough that they dont need great goaltending usually, but in the postseason when you have to win 4 series, all it takes to screw everything up in one game like tonight from huet. he can be fine for 4 games, but what if you go into a game 5 in a tied series and he has a game like this? i know all goalies have bad games. but huet often has games where he simply doesn't give his team a chance to win. that game against dallas a couple weeks ago is a good example. in a best of 7, all it takes is one of "those" games, and you're in all kinds of trouble

i never said i didnt think theyd win the cup because of huet. i said i dont think theyll win the cup if huet is starting.

Come on dex, will you please chill out on the "sky is falling" attitude. Crappy loss, no doubt, one that won't be repeated this year. The Hawks can win a Cup with Huet in the net. i've been saying all year that i don't feel like huet is capable of leading a team to a stanley cup. this game just makes me think about it even more. i defended huet all last season, but this season ive finally come around. I think they can make a run with Huet. Yeah he sucks most of the time but the Hawks usually play keep away and put the puck in the net pretty well. While it's tough to do this against the best teams, they've been doing this all year. I don't see why they couldn't do it in the playoffs. I would love to see what Niemi could do as the regular starter though. huet's not the type of goalie that typically does well in postseason hockey. he gives up wayyyy too many rebounds and doesnt respond well at all to traffic in front of the net. like people were talking about in this thread early tonight, how many times have we heard pat foley say huet never saw it" this season?
-
Will Niemi play his way into the goal for the playoffs? With that contract would Q sit him on the bench? I think Q isn't going to stand for too many games like this. If Huet keeps playing like this I don't think you have to worry about Huet in the playoffs. i have no idea. nieme has been great this season, but i'm in the same boat as kujay. i don't think we've seen nearly enough of him to make a judgement. i do think i'd start giving niemi a few more starts and see if he plays well enough to warrant taking more starts away from huet. if you do that and he starts to struggle, limit him a bit more.

you mean it reminds you that they're a sports team

seriously, does anyody think huet is capable of winning 4 playoff series in a row? it's too bad. this is such an amazing team, but i feel like it's all pointless because of huet.
-
i don't care how good this team has been this year. that's a pathetic and inexcusable loss. and sorry, but we're not winning a cup with huet in net. it's as simple as that.
-
i dunno. at least 2 of those last 4 goals should have been stopped easily. the hawks (mostly huet) gave them the point.
-
dumb by them. just put it on net and huet won't see it. he'll just flop around and hope he stops something
-
can't wait to see huet melt down like this in the playoffs.
-
are you [expletive] kidding me? GET THIS PIECE OF TRASH OUT OF THE [expletive] GAME and nice job, hendry.
-
these wild announcers are [expletive] annoying
-
blowing a 4 goal lead with 12 minutes left would be worse, considering teams average less than 4 goals for an entire game
-
they should pull huet from the team
-
how good would the hawks be if we actually had a goalie? man, they're gonna tie this game
-
what the hell happened to philly? they've been awful for the past 6 quarters
-
are they going to be able to afford to lock up seabrook?

I'd rather have Pods at 1/$1.75 than Byrd at 3/$15. Better yet, how about a platoon of Reed Johnson and Fuld for the same as Pods is getting paid. Hendry just loves wasting money on average players. This was my proposal all along, but unfortunately, whenever Hendry has a bit of extra money to spend he uses it like an 8 year old with a Toys R Us gift card. what did you think reed johnson was going to sign for? -
shut up bully

no, i understood what he was talking about, and i understand we're going to lose some guys. i was referring to the "blowing up" part. Blowing up may not be the right phrase, but I think Hawks fans should consider the situation Anahiem was in 2 yrs ago and Tampa Bay right after they won the Cup. Both teams seemed destined to be powers for years but were hit by the cap by overpaying some mediocre players. Both teams still have large pieces of the core group of players that they won the cups with, but lack the overall depth to be cup contenders now. pretty terrible comparisons How so? tampa never had the young talent the hawks had when they won the cup. the only 2 significant players they had who were young were richards and lecavlier, and both of those guys were already 23. i just dont really see the comparison. that lightning team wasnt young at all, and nobody was talking about them being set as a cup ocntender for several years. i live near tampa (brother has been a hardcore bolts fan since they came into the league), so i followed that team. they were pretty much a team of seasoned veterans. oh and also, the lightning dont still have the core group of the championship team. they have st. louis and a shell of vincent lacavalier. that's it.

Hendry just loves wasting money on average players. so you're admitting that marlon byrd is a league average player? if so, then why are you upset about him making 5 mil? 5 mil a year for a league average position player is not a lot -
I think you guys are understating how much cap issues the Hawks are going to have the next couple of years. That is basically what the announcer was talking about. no, i understood what he was talking about, and i understand we're going to lose some guys. i was referring to the "blowing up" part.
