I hope that the Hawks do not face the Ducks in the playoffs. It is not a good matchup for them.

wealthy line up the ducks are a non-issue.

Another thing that would help is if the refs are a little more strict. The Hawks arent a physical team so they dont put themselves in as many situations to get penalties called on them. In playoffs refs usually call less which hurts the Hawks slightly as they are one of the least penalized teams already.

I don't know about that.  The Ducks seem to know how to make to slow things down and make the Hawks play their game.  I think that a playoff series between the two teams could go either way.  Far from a non issue.

Hawks get Handzus back for a draft pick... so basically they get nothing for nothing.

Crawford was a joke in the 3rd period last night. He needs to get his head out of his rear end or get benched.

LOL @ poll.

Blackhawks reclaim their rightful place as the number 1 team in the league with a game at hand.

As for goalies, I thought the trend of backups replacing the starter should have continued last season (meaning Ray replacing Crawford). This season I can deal with Crawford now.

Handzus is back on the Hawks... yipee?

WTF. Max stop getting banned outside this thread.

I am glad the Ducks are have fallen from grace, they did not even make the playoffs last year so their huge improvement makes the league appear too balanced.Anyone can win the cup, but the Avalanche. Just look at the Coyotes. A visit to the Western finals last year and now out of the playoff picture.

Minnesota picks up Pominville from Buffalo! Although we gave up 2 prospects that I liked, I hope we make a good play-off run. I'd be happy with conference finals appearance.

Gabby left the Rangers. I'm sad

Minnesota is actually playing pretty well now.  Hopefully they can take the Northwest over the stupid Canucks.

I cannot believe the guy waived a no trade clause to go to the Jackets. He must of not liked playing for the orginization. I think the Rangers win on this deal as Gaborick was not good enough to save the Wild's offense and he will not save the Jacket's unless they finally start drafting better.
