Hawks lose 2 straight games in regulation at home for the first time this season. They lost 4-1 against the Wild and shut out by the Blues 2-0. Looks like the Blues were riding high after their OT win against the Bruins.

Quenneville not a happy man after the game "We're disappointed with tonight's effort," Chicago coach said. "You can use a lot of different words to describe tonight's game. Bad would be one."

I was sad to read that Pat Burns is suffering from cancer again this time its lung cancer. I wish him well in his fight to beat it.

Hawks get their 8 game road trip of to a winning start in Annaheim with a 3-2 against the Ducks.
Hopefully the wins will continue for the Hawks after a stunning start to this season, faltering slightly in January. The All Star Break may well have come just at the right time for Quenneville to regather and refocus his team.

I thought the Leafs got a pasting until I saw the Oilers result!

I think it's time to start playing Khabby more often than the one game in one game out they've been doing all season with their N/M.It's clear Khabby is playing better than Huet so they should play him 4 out of 5 games for the rest off the season.

Also good to see Kane score last night after 12 games without a goal.

I can't believe McTavish is still the coach at the Oilers.They've now lost 9-2 and 10-2 at home this season.

Don't think Huet has been playing too bad TBF admittedly he started pretty shaky but since then has played well. Think all netminders play better on a run of games and would like to see either have a run until they have an off night or lose by more than 2 goals, then switch them.

Leafs break a 4 game losing run with a 7-4 win in Colorado.

After Khabby won the game for the Hawks in Anaheim they put Huet in last night and the Hawks lose 5-2.It seems to me if Huet wasn't being paid
over $4million he wouldn't be getting as much playing time.

I've never liked the idea of changing netminders game by game I like to say them played until either they have a stinker or get beat by more than 2 goals. Playing one in one out like they are at present doesn't give them any incentive to play for their place.

As much as I don't feel Khabby has earnt his contract at all since he signed I think that Quenneville may as well use him as he seems to be playing for A) another contract or B) A decent trade/move.
