Ray Emery Starting Vs. Islanders, But No Goalie Controversy For Blackhawks
The Chicago Blackhawks and their fans have become pretty accustomed to goalie controversies over the past couple of seasons.
For the past two seasons, the Blackhawks have had a different goaltender end the season in net than the that started the season. It started with Cristobal Huet and Antti Niemi in 2009-2010 and Marty Turco and Corey Crawford last season.
Luckily for the Hawks...

The 20 most overpaid NHLers making more than $4.0M per year: Gomez makes the list!
More than one quarter into the 2011-12 NHL season, it’s time to have a look at the most overpaid NHLers who don’t contribute as much as their team and the general manger who signed them would like. Please note that I have not included players whose contract is buried in the AHL or oversees such as Jeff Finger, Rotislav Olesz, Wade Redden and Cristobal Huet. Players are listed...

Targeting the salary cap ‘cheaters’ in the next NHL CBA
Really nice work by Pierre LeBrun of ESPN.com putting together a "key issues" post on the next NHL Collective Bargaining Agreement's points of contention, from revenue sharing to "second contracts" for players like Drew Doughty to the Olympics.
But at the heart of the next battle between the players and the owners is the salary cap and the current financial...

Do the Blackhawks Need a Vet?
From Chicago Now:
The perception that the Blackhawks will fail without a veteran backup is built on sand, not concrete. And that sand holds very little water.
For the last three seasons, the Blackhawks have entered a season with a veteran starter. In each of the last two, the backup on Opening Night was a relatively untested rookie.
In each of the past three seasons, the goalie...

Training Camp Questions: The Backup Goalie
For the first time in what seems forever, the Blackhawks go into training camp with absolutely no questions about their starting goaltender.
That hasn't happened since Training Camp of '07, when Nikolai Khabibulin was manning the pipes for 40 games, being bad for 20 of them, and being hurt for the rest.
Since then the Hawks have juggled Khabby, Cristobal Huet, Antti Niemi...

Some news and notes coming out of the weekend.-There's been an interview on the Blackhawks main page with Bryan Bickell. Now, keep in mind that this could have taken place whenever and they just pull it out when the news slows down in August. But some fans have taken as peculiar that Bickell said he'd been working out but hadn't hit the ice yet. This could be because...

Outcry Over Spending Falling On Buffalo’s Deaf Ears

Kolzig back with Caps as associate coach
Olie Kolzig left the Washington Capitals on less-than-ideal terms after nearly two decades as a popular and productive goalie. Clearly, that rift is a thing of the past.
The man known as ''Olie the Goalie'' returned to the Capitals on Thursday as their associate goaltender coach. The team also announced that Dave Prior will come back in his past old role of director...

Chicago Blackhawks: How is Our Buddy Cristobal Huet Doing?
Cristobal Huet has a reputation in Chicago. I'll let you decide whether it's a good one or not (but I think it's safe to say most fans are happy he's not in Chicago anymore).
Huet was brought into Chicago in 2008. He was signed to a four-year contract worth a total of $22.4 million or $5.625 million per season. Hawk fans and management soon realized that this was an insanely...

I've spent a great amount of time this season bemoaning the Hawks players' shortcomings on the ice or in between the ears.It's easy to do because it's the easiest to see and analyze.

John Jaeckel: A Tale Of Two Goalies
About 15 months ago, Corey Crawford and Antti Niemi were engaged in a battle to see who would back up Cristobal Huet (as strange as that now sounds) in net for the eventual Stanley Cup Champions.
At the time, I thought Niemi fairly clearly won the contest, but many others thought it was dead even.
Previously, the two had split duties at Rockford in 2008-2009, with fairly similar...

Washington looked as if it was going to play a complete game against Toronto last night, leading 3-1 heading into the final 20 minutes, despite being down early in the first period. The Maple Leafs however had other ideas, and in swift fashion scored three unanswered goals to take the lead late in the third. The third period collapse was particularly discouraging in light of the...
