As a guy who watches hardly any hockey and even less Blackhawks games, I seem to know a lot more about the NHL than I probably should. If the Blackhawks had their home games on TV I might actually watch a couple more games than I usually watch which is usually around 5-6 games a year.

 

This signing of Khabibulin actually makes me more interested in watching the Blackhawks, if they made a push this offseason and made up a good team I might be inclined to bring out my Hawks fanship which I have since tucked away hidden deep within myself. Although chances are I'll stick to my Bears, Sox and Bulls and keep the Blackhawks on the backburner.

I guess I'm glad that the NHL finally lowered the salary bar far enough for the Hawks to get involved in legit free-agent dealings.

Their defense seems solid.

Khabibulin > Thibault.

Now they need some firepower.

 

I hope they're good on the road, cuz that's still the only way I'll see them.

For the hockey experts out there:

 

What happens with Tibult, what can we expect in return for him?

 

Well... he's definitely going to be dealt.

 

LA has goalie needs maybe? - maybe they dont want JR and turn him right back around and send him back.

 

Philly has an amazing goalie at the AHL but maybe they don't want to thrust him into the spotlight just yet - maybe they take Thibault in a deal for Simon Gange?

 

there are options... goaltending is always a premium and we happened to have 2 all-stars on the roster right now. (eventhough thibault blows hard.)

My favorite hockey player of all time?

 

It's a tough one...

 

Bob Probert  :whichway  Stu Grimson

 

Theo Fluery has to be up there no?

 

He drinks like Probey but only 1/3 the size... gotta admire that.

But did he do as much coke as Probey? :cheers

 

it's safe to say that he can match up with any other players in the league when in comes to their substance abuses.

 

he's an all NHL first-team substance abuser.
