Here's how I feel about the play of the Blackhawks Big Summer Free Agent Signing, Christobal Huet:
The Hawks better get their act together, otherwise they are going to At Best: find themselves in the 7 or 8 seed in the playoffs, resulting in a first round exit against Detroit or San Jose. Or At Worst: packing their shit in the lockers for the summer and hitting the links.
It's not just one thing brining down the team (although goaltending is tops on the list), it's a bunch of little things. Team defense is falling apart, Brian Campbell is fighting the puck like a Roman gladiator, Duncan Keith is tired, Pat Sharp is hurt, Matt Walker is an ass, etc. It's the time of the season where you have to win every battle, earn every goal, and play each game like it's your last. The Hawks are a young team, with only a handfull of players ever experiencing the post season. This is where (to quote Hawk Harrelson, which I hate to do) you need to "sinch er up, and hunker down." The next few weeks will show just how tough this Hawks team is. I truly hope they are up to the challenge, because I'm tired of the Scum fans and the Shorks fans (sorry Bri) getting all the excitement. This team is good enough to make some noise in the playoffs, but they are gonna have to fight to get there.
Otherwise it's baseball time for me.
