Screw Detroit! On a side note ....we get WGN here in Alaska but no Blackhawk games ....alternative programing! I`ve emailed WGN and told those idiots that we would rather watch the games than "Becker" but fell on deaf ears. Oh well, I guess it wouldnt benefit WGN if thousands of Alaskans became fans and became a new market for the Hawks!

Unfortunately, you get WGN America. The Blackhawks can only be seen on WGN Chicago due to NHL rules about broadcasting. If you don't live within the broadcast area of the teams playing, NHL rules say the only way you can see the game is if it is nationally televised on NBC or Versus, or you subscribe to Center Ice through dish service.

This is why when the Hawks play on Versus or NBC, us in Chicago do not get any other broadcast on CSN and have to listen to the announcers that station uses(and a lot of Chicago doesn't even get Versus so we can't watch those games).

Blame Bettman because he's the reason WGN can't show the games outside Chicago.

Huet sucks!! He's soft....this team needs a 2nd line center who can score and a vet D man who can score a few here and there. Hawks could have had both with the mney they used to sign Huet. It's a wasted signing when they have 2 good G in Rockford.

I agree ...waaaayy to much money for Huet!

Havlat to Kane....He Scores!!!!!!   What a pass!!!  Kanes 5th goal in the last 6 games....that's studly

Kane...10 points in his last 6 games....oh yeah!!!!

Hawks beat Dallas 5-2.

Goals by Barker, Kane, Sopel, Ladd, and Byfuglien

4-3-3...11 points.

On a side note, Dallas=douchebags. They milled around at center ice long after the game was over to try and keep the Hawks from going to center ice and saluting the fans.

Also, Ott and Avery need someone to kick the crap out of them. They do whatever they want then back away when challenged. Man up.

Beat Columbus 4-3 in the SO. Hawks took way too many penalties which cost them the lead late in the 3rd. The Hawks also gave up 50+ shots, that is unacceptable.

Goals by Sharp, Seabrook, and Havlat.  Toews scored the lone SO goal.

5-3-3...13 points.

The refs had to have a gripe with the Hawks, it was one sided. They spent a whole period of time short handed and 50+ shots is just plain bad, but it's 2 points.

Sounds like Huet got a good workout ....just exactly what he needed

Once again, too many bad penalties...3 at the start  of their own power plays. Kane and Sharp saw the bench for most of the 2nd....good. Glad they won, good start to the circus trip.
