It was great seeing them set a franchise record for wins to start a season and do it against the Red Wings! But it is still very early. Just hoping they can stay healthy and keep it going. -

Great start by Black Hawks to tie NHL record and, I think, to have more points than any of those other teams at this point. Hope Hansen gets at least a couple of games. I saw the replay again and the puck was already being knocked down by Hossa when he got hit in back of head (not shoulders as Hansen said).Comment

He got one game, which is probably sufficient (he's not Torres, who'd get a season or so).
In a real league (pre-silly shootouts), the Blackhawks would be 11-0-5, so 27 points. They had 25 points over 15 games, which is two less than Edmonton (12-0-3, 27 points), though they have now the same points after 16 games as Edmonton did.
Comparing the Ducks in there is more complicated - they lost a game in OT not in a SO (so that would be a plain old loss back in the day). They were 12-0-4 but with 1 regular-OT loss of the 4 and 2 SO wins; so they'd have been 10-1-5 in the old rules, or 25 points (26 if you give them that OT loss point).
So the Hawks have, give or take, the most points through 16 games, depending on how you count them.

Anyway, to Supr49er's comment; the Hawks do not prevent goals with a goalie. They prevent goals with a stellar defense and very hard working players (and Patrick Kane). You could put me in goal and I would have a lower GAA than some. Just kidding, but it feels that way. Some teams depend on good goalies to keep them in games where they play Mike D'Antoni style hockey; the Hawks do not. They just need a goalie who doesn't allow soft goals and keeps his concentration, something Crawford had trouble with in the past. Emery is a very good goalie who IIRC had injury and attitude problems, but has the skills - just isn't able to get a a starting job.<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.

After the first three weeks I figured getting in at least 3 goalie games every week wasn't going to be an issue. Between the compressed schedule and my three goalies having starting or job sharing roles with their teams, I figured I had it made.....all three of my goalies are in trouble now though so it may be tough for me to even get in the three games even if he comes back before the week is over in Yahoo.Originally posted by snoopy369 View PostI wouldn't mind him holding out till monday, Sparrow has him in fantasy and I'm facing him this week

Indeed... there are some decent WW pickups though so I'm sure you'll manage. I'd just rather not face Crawford

I agree with the comments about how the Hawks play in front of their goalies, but it does seem to me that quite a few of the goals both guys have let up this year have been "soft". But their opponents have let in some "softer" ones.
Hope they get record tonight, but pissed I have to do something else tonight and won't be able to see the game live.
