Mon, 19 Oct 2009 10:17:13 -0500

There was always a chance that Cristobal Huet(notes) would end up being the major story of the Chicago Blackhawks' season, as either the goalie who back-stopped them to a championship or as the anchor who weighed down an all-star roster.The problem is that Huet is the major story of the Chicago Blackhawks' season on Oct. 19, eight games into the season.

I'm sorry. I know I talk about the Blackhawks and their dueling goaltenders a lot, but it's just such an amazingly odd situation. Do you want it to get weirder? Apparently the Blackhawks have tremendous goalie depth in the minors, too. So really, they have four goalies not being used to their ...

Blackhawks Finally Accept Reality
