Liz, I’m getting all misty here!!! LOL If POOet DID blame anyone else for his INEPTITUDE he would be CERTIFIED, and locked in a RUBBER ROOM with his fans! LOL If he plays another game this year, that means the Hawks are in BIG TROUBLE! Play the best and screw the rest!

@Terrie

You’re right, he is a gentleman. =) He’s so down to earth and he’s very calm. He doesn’t blame others for the goaltending situtation like he could or like others in his position would. In another article he says:
‘I can only blame myself for not being on top of my game the last two or three games. Right now I’m just trying to stay sharp and mentally positive, to be ready in case the team needs me. The important thing is we are in the right place and where we want to be as a team. I try not to make waves.’
And it’s not all his fault that the Hawks have lost a few games, but he doesn’t blame the team or the lack of defense. It’s much like what Esposito would say when they would lose. He took responsibilty for the loss, he was the last one to stop the puck. I have a great respect for people like Esposito and Huet. There certainly are not enough people like them.

Your’re right. We miss Cristobal here in MONTREAL.
He was such a gentleman and very good model for our children.

I have watched EVERY GAME POOet has played in a Hawk uni, and he is an inconsistent SIEVE. But……… HE IS GREAT ON THE BENCH OPENING AND CLOSING THE GATE!!! lol Niemi got ROBBED of another shut-out earlier in the season when a ref called a phoney penalty on the Hawks to put them 2 men down in the last minute of the game.

Niemi played well today. He’s been doing really well lately and I’m proud of him. I’m also proud of Huet. Look how far we’ve gotten with him being in net. It’s only recently that he’s been in a slump and Niemi has been playing more. ALL atheletes have times where they are off and aren’t playing as well. You can say all you want about him, but I will still support him and cheer him on with all my heart.

Of course I pray that Niemi or Huet or any Blackhawk player, for that matter, doesn’t get injured. Even if Niemi got injured, I have faith in Huet. =)

POOet is the LOSER I SPEAK OF. GO UNCLE NIEMI!!!! SHUT-OUT TONIGHT..#7. I have played and watched hockey for most of those 46 years, and with that experience I can judge talent a little better than most. I preDICKted Niemi wud be the starter by Feb. That HAS happened as you can see. You better pray Nieme doesn’t get injured, is all I can say! (=

@Nick61 So ‘only a loser supports a loser.’ Well, then welcome to the club Nick61. You’ve been watching and cheering on a losing team for 46-47 years. Not to mention all those who cheer on The Cubs and The Bears. This is the beauty of Chicago fans. We are the most loyal out there. I DO care about the fact that the Hawks haven’t won the cup for a long time, just as I care that the Cubs haven’t won for 100 years. That is why I cheer these teams on, why I cheer on each and every player. I have hope just as you have for the past 46-47 years. I will continue to cheer them on no matter if they win or lose and I will continue to cheer on Niemi AND Huet because I still believe in them. I know I won’t be able to convince you to cheer for the goaltenders but I hope that you still continue to cheer on the Blackhawks no matter if they win the cup or not.

@ liz, ONLY a LOSER supports a LOSER..”no matter what”. If you don’t care about the Hawks having the LONGEST Cup drought in NHL history, then what kind of fan are you? I am a fan who has watched the Hawks for 46-47 years. I subscribed to Center Ice for the past 2 seasons b/c, and ONLY b/c the Hawks have a young exciting team. I watch every game and expect them to WIN. WHEN THEY START TO suck, I WILL cancel CENTER ICE.

POOet has proven he doesn’t have it. He has been given ample opportunities to play, and he continues to let in soft goals. He doesn’t have the skill set to be a starting NHL goalie. He will kill the Hawks in the P/Os.

This article is right on. Even with proof the meatheads are still bitching….The WHOLE TEAM needs to play better in order to get far in the playoffs. Defense AND offense needs to step it up. There are way too many turnovers which often result in the other team scoring. The team also needs to be able to play a FULL GAME. It doesn’t help that we are missing a lot of people due to injuries but that only means that the team needs to step up and play their hearts out. Yes, both goalies have had bad games, but nobody’s perfect. The NHL has made rules so that more goals are scored in order to widen the fan base, which means that we ARE going to be scored on more ( it doesnt just mean that we are going to score more on opposing teams). If you were TRUE Blackhawks fans, you would support the WHOLE team no matter what.
