I hope Andre Johnson literally catches on fire during pre-game warmups and is reduced for nothing but ash prior to the Texans' opening drive.

And if he has kids I hope they die too.

Aight...Hossa looks to be playing on Wednesday. So, I guess this is where Da Hawks' season goes down the toilet.



Leafs fans: There will soon be a new in -age...Da Hawks.

No. We all know Hossa's a great regular season player so the Hawks are headed for the Presidents Trophy. Too bad all those regular season wins will go straight down the toilet when they realize you need goal tending to win in the playoffs.

Not to worry, I'm sure they'll be plenty of good tee times after the 1st round. Lets just hope Kane drives the cart.

Hawks goaltending has been pretty good so far.

Huet's numbers don't lie up to this point...and considering how gross he started, I think his numbers are spectacular.

And I doubt the Hawks will get the PC. I'll leave that honor to the Sharks or Pens.

Are you serious? Philly and Vancouver thought they had good goal tending all those years too....Until the playoffs hit. How soon we forget the Tim Chevaldere's and Dan Cloutier's.

Hawks need a goalie. /debate

And can someone explain to me why the Hawks have to wait to announce their 3 big signings until they clear room on this years cap? I'd imagine the extensions kick in for next season so why do this season's number matter?

There is the matter of the tagging space...Apparently, Chicago is $1M off and need to shed a bit of salary to get it done.

Rumors are rampant that Sopel and a 2nd pick is headed to your beloved team for Excelby or White.



That being said, the Big 3 aren't going anywhere. It's just a matter of when not if to the deals now...

Yumy, the Hawks are cleaning up in San Jose tonight. Three short hand goals and Hossa scored one of them.

^ What a game played tonight so far by Chicago against supposedly the top team in the League...!

3 short-handed goals so far has tied a franchise record. Maybe one more...?
