The way Huet was playing Quenneville should have pulled him and replaced him with Niemi. Disappointing final result but at least its still a point on the road but should have been 2. As you say though hope it works as a wake up call to them that they still have to work hard as a team for 60 minutes regardless of how well they are playing.

Anybody else got espn 360?for 70 quid i've been able to watch every game in the NHL this season.Wish i'd have got this a lot sooner than I have.

The way the Leafs have been going this season, I'm seeing more than enough, thanks

Yep best thing ever losing Setanta as made me go and get a new TV with HDMI and signed up to ESPN 360 and have it fed through the TV. Only problem I have had has been sometimes cant get the 'on demand' working and the picture can sometimes be a bit slow but think that is due to the wonders of KC/Karoo.

The Hawks and Huet back to winning ways with a strong and solid 3-0 win against the Jackets. Really think Huet has a problem with his head as when he has his mind on the game he is great but when he doesnt he stinks ala 4 goals in the 3rd period against the Wild.

Still 11pts, 5 wins, 1 loss & 1 loss on S/O from a gruelling strat to the New Year of 6 games in 9 Days is a good return. Just goes to show the level of performance and expectation in the Hawks (when us fans are disappointed in a loss this season) with their turn around over the last few years.
Long may it continue!!!!!!

Bruins beat the Sharks 2-1 in a SO

Blackhawks get their 8 game road trip off to a good start with a 6-5 win in Columbus and a 4-3 S/O win against the old rivals Detroit the following night. Chicago go back in front of Jan Jose in the race for the Presidents Trophy.

The Blackhawks need to seriously assess Huet as No.1 as yet again they outshoot their opponents only to be undone by awful netminding after Huet lets in 4 from 18 leading to a 4-1 loss to the Sens. Wasn't a great team performance by Hawks standards but thats when you need your No.1 guy to make a save to help.
Even Alfredsson admitting Hawks where the dominant team and had the better chances of scoring!!!!!!!

Come on Quenneville sort him and his head out and put Niemi in with Crawford as backup. We've gone from Khabibulin hit and miss form on a ridiculous contract to Huet. For me he is the biggest worry and reason why we won't win the Cup unless he sorts his freaking head out.

Looks like Burke has got fed up of watching this seasons Leafs as he traded a ton of them away today.

1st he traded Hagman,Mayers,White and Stajan for Calgarys Phanuef,Sjostrom and a prospect.Then he traded N/M Toskala and Blake for Anaheims n/m Giguere.Looks like Kessel will have to do all the scoring on his own as they've hardly got any forwards left

Can't we just end the season now? Please?

Have to say I think Sutter must have been drunk to do that deal, out of the 4 players he's traded for Phanuef only White is half decent, seems he's filling the Flames with 3rd & 4th liners

. Certainly looks like the Leafs have improved in the two trades as Giguere for Toskala is a good move too.

The Flames fans must be pi$$ed at that deal and so must the the team after getting their arris's kicked in the Saddledome.

3-0 against the Devils! We'll be in a play-off place before you know it!

Inconsistant netminding costs the Hawks a win on returning home after their 8 game road trip losing 3-2 to the slowly improving Blues.
Another game in which the Hawks outshoot and in most parts outplay their opponents and dont take any points with Huet only making 16 saves from 19 shots which if the Hawks want to win Lord Stanley just isnt good enough.
Huet has the talent but just doesnt seem to be able to get himself ready mentally, now we are back to the same scenario we were in with Khabibulin, an inconsistant player, that no other team wants to trade for thanks to a ridiculous deal.
