Post-Game Talk: Umm... is Raanta ready to be the backup? Hawks fall to Bolts 6-5 in OT

[Cullksinikers]

Apology Letter

I'm expecting a written apology to Hawks fans from Khabibulin, Handzus, and Rozsival. That was absolutely embarrassing to watch as a fan. Their performances were downright putrid.

That was.... um.... something?

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

He's fine being a back up...as long as Crawford's the only one who starts

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Too early in year to judge Khabby

If he is still struggling in January then its time for Simpson (or Raanta if he start playing better)

 

[Nothingman*]

Yep. Something it was. I never thought I would dream of Emery in goal but I am right now.

Was Pirri even playing tonight?

 

[committedindian86]

Raanta Time. Offer Khabby a bottle of vodka to retire.

 

[Pepe Silvia]

Was Pirri even playing tonight?

Yes.

 

[mikitas donut]

Great game by the three stooges, Khabibulin, Handzus and Rosival. Honorable Shemp is Bishop.

 

[Canadian Wampa]

Honestly, if we had a cardboard cut out I bet we win, at least it would be well positioned. Also not liking how many stupid mistakes the "vets" are making.

 

[Hawkaholic]

Brutal goaltending tonight, by both goalies.

I'm so done with Handzus, he was OK for the first few games, but he is terrible now. Not sure I understand whats going on there. Anyone in CHI or Rockford would look better at this point.

If they didn't give one for doing stuff like that on a nightly basis for 10 years, its not happening now...

 

[Kurtosis]

This loss can be pretty much blamed solely on three players:

Rozsival
Khabi
Anchor

You mean Simpson time right?

 

[skiba77777]

Good news guys. We have a back-to-back in less than a week, so we'll get to see Khabi again soon.

 

[Teemu]

Two million dollars they're paying that guy

Simple solution

#37 to 2nd line
#26 to 4th line

Q of course refuses to do it

 

[Pepe Silvia]

That Handzus penalty was brutal

 

[chicagoskycam]

I think Khabby is washed up. He looked like garbage in the pre-season and looks just as bad in the regular season. He wasn't any good for the past couple of years.

Stay healthy Craw... please.

I hope the Hawks don't become like the Wings by overvaluing vets, didn't we have one of the younger rosters in 2010?

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Uh, Khabby sucked.

which guarantees it won't happen

 

[brtriad]

Given it's only been two games, but most of us wanted Raanta to back-up Crow anyways.

Clearly you didn't follow Khabby

Did well after his time as #1 was over ,, Once he was #2 and not playing heavy load he was one of the more capable #2' s in NHL

Infact last year he was up there near Emery for top performing backups

 

[committedindian86]

You mean Simpson time right?

I'll put a Jocelyn Thibault jersey on a traffic cone and it would have a higher save percentage than Khabby.
