Every team in the league can run set plays on the PP except us. 0-6 tonight.

Wow the Hawks need to get the power play going on the road.....not bad at home but dismal on the road so far.

Hawks miss Toews, Eager and Burrish badly. Didn't mention Hossa cause he's never played for the Hawks but sure help too.

I believe the Blackhawks are in Colorado tonight. I saw the Avalanche win during Montreal's home opener. While the Avs aren't quite as dangerous as they were earlier this decade with the likes of Forsberg & Sakic, they've got some fine young talent such as 2009 first round draft picks Matt Duchesne & Ryan O'Reilly. This matchup is very intruiging.

I hope that I won't offend Blackhawks fans when I say that I'd like to see Detroit beat up on the Maple Leafs on Hockey Night in Canada tomorrow. I'd laugh if the Leafs were to embarrass themselves on national telvision again.

The game last night was the best I've ever seen Mtl goalie Carey Price. The Canadiens should have provided him with a lot more offensive support. In the meantime, I'll accept the shootout victory given that the Canadiens have finally ended their awful five-game losing streak on the road.

Bickell was recalled probably to take the place of Hendry who is a defenseman forced to play wing the last few games. Toews and Eager should be back within a week. That should help a lot, and a healthy Hossa has to help our PP. Burish might be back by March.

Speaking of Toews, some Hawks fans are freaking clueless. They're arguing Toews missing has had no impact on out offense because he has 1 goal(which they say was basically an empty net goal) and only 4 assists. However what they fail to take into account is he's tied for first with +7 which means while he's on the ice the Hawks are more likely to score and not get scored on. Just because he's not netting the goals or getting assists doesn't mean he's not helping the team score. You put him on the ice and he gets more attention paid to him by the other teams because if you don't keep track of him he will make you pay.

Oh my the PP blows. This is where I think Toews may have more of an impact, being as he can make plays and draw attention. Other than Kopecky, no one is willing to stand in front of the net, including Buff who seems to not want to do it anymore(or Q is telling him not to but he's not doing it like he was in the playoffs and early this season). I think in part it all comes down to the Hawks trying to be too fancy. All this passing looking for the perfect goals. All this trying to carry it in over the blueline. When it doesn't work dump it in and go get it. And above all else, when you get a lane shoot the puck. It can get deflected or the goalie can get screened. You can;t score when you keep trying the perfect pass or keep shooting it into the other players who are right in front of you.

I agree on the powerplay....the Hawks have been outshot way too much this year.....shoot the puck and good things will happen (what my coaches always taught me)......darn right!

All I can find is a nagging upper body injury. He has had back problems.
