Seems like several of the Hawks are looking ordinary....like you said, Derrek, they should be fine by playoff time.

Oilers scrub Dubnyk amd get Scrivens...should be an upgrade.

Ducks are ****ing unreal right now.

Took me long enough to get rid of Dubnyk...ugh. My goalies are siiiiick

icehog3 · 01-15-2014, 11:08 PM

Two nights ago Vancouver had a 7 minute short-handed sequence, don't see that too often.

Well, right now against the Canucks they are about to start a 7 minute TWO-MAN disadvantage. Don't think I've ever seem that, saw the Hawks shorthaned by 2 for 5 minutes once. Wow.

I dislike Crosby a little more today....

Quote:

DETROIT -- Naming Sidney Crosby captain of Team Canada for the Sochi Games, even with his strong resume, wasn't necessarily a no-brainer. Not according to coach Mike Babcock.

"Jonathan Toews has won two [Stanley] Cups," Babcock pointed out Monday.

Toews says Sidney Crosby deserves to be Team Canada's captain for the Sochi Games and he's "excited to accept any role I get."

On Wednesday, Babcock revealed a little more about the process. According to the Team Canada coach, Crosby wanted to make sure Toews was fine with him getting the captaincy before things became official.

"Crosby wanted to make sure it was OK with him because of the fact that he's won a couple Cups," Babcock said. "[Toews is] held in high regard, to say the least, amongst coaches, amongst management, amongst players, and he's a huge reason [the Chicago Blackhawks] win as much as they do."

Team Canada picked Crosby as captain and named Toews and Shea Weber alternates for the Games.

It was honor enough for Toews.

"I think everyone knows that Sidney was the guy," the Blackhawks captain said Wednesday. "I'll be excited to accept any role I get. If it's more of a leadership role, I'm excited for that challenge. It's a quick two weeks, everyone really focuses on their own game but also tries to find that team chemistry that is going to make a difference for us."

Maybe maintaining that chemistry was behind Crosby's motivation to include Toews in the conversation. Either way, Toews said it's a good example of Crosby's leadership.

"For Sidney to ask the other guys for their approval, I don't think he needed to do that," Toews said. "That just shows the kind of guy he is and obviously a great captain in Pittsburgh."

dvickery · 01-22-2014, 06:55 PM

welllllllllllll ... who has been their teams captain longer ???

derrek

icehog3 · 01-22-2014, 09:41 PM

I'm not sure, Derrek, I am guessing Sid? Regardless, I thought it was a classy move on his part.

Hawks blew a chance to gain 2 points on the Ducks and Blues tonight, getting one point for a shootout loss.

Krueger and Shaw in the shootout with Saad, Smith and Leddy on the bench? Hmmmmm

watching the Devils Rangers game yikes a lot of odd man rushes

dvickery · 01-29-2014, 11:37 PM

media can say what they want about the blackhawks being in a slump ... they always bring their A game to vancouver .

a little taste of what chicago will bring to the playoffs soon .

Most of the Hawks stinkers have come against teams like Calgary and Winnipeg....put them againsy Anaheim, Boston, Vancouver and they bring their A game. Next 3 (LA, Anaheim and San Jose) will be a big test.

59 shots for the Sharks, and Scrivens stopped them all....amazing, Derrek...and a modern day NHL record number of saves for a shutout.

Ahbroody · 01-30-2014, 01:19 PM

As a Sharks fan that was hard to watch. They had a ton of good scoring chances not perimeter and point shots. A lot of chances between the dots. I swear at one point there seemed like they had a force field in the blue paint. Edmonton is world's apart from the kings who they played Monday. From a game where every inch on the ice was a fight to a friggin track meet in Edmonton.

drjammer · 01-31-2014, 08:09 AM

Well at least the Avs were able to hold on to the win against the Wild

. Congrats to Varlamov for the 5 year contract extension
