by Gene J. Puskar - AP My face feels naked! (AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar) View full size photo uploaded October 23, 2009 The Blues are part of an exclusive club this season. The Blues and the Maple Leafs are the only two teams in the league to not win a game on home ice yet. Now if you look at the standings, you'll see a win in the home column, but that "home" was in Sweden. Granted, they've...

from Michael Russo of the Star Tribune, Five games into the season, the pressure’s already mounting for a Wild team lacking confidence and cohesion, and parked on the Western Conference floor. Three games into a five-game trip, the Wild has yet to win and faces its first Northwest Division meetings tonight and Saturday at the Oilers and Canucks. If Martin Havlat misses tonight’s game because...

from Michael Russo of Russo’s Rants, Martin Havlat was a minus-3 in 3:07 of ice time in the first period. His first three shifts against resulted in goals against, including his first shift after being benched for more than seven minutes. Asked about Havlat, coach Todd Richards said, “There were just some guys that weren’t ready to show up. The way that the game went, it’s about...

It looks like Martin Havlat will play on a line with Petr Sykora, as they did in Tuesday’s win over the Ducks. Every season, more and more GMs have been filling as many slots as they can with younger players rather than more experienced ones. There are a lot of reasons to do so: younger players [...] Related posts: Single White Devils Captain Shanahan Right for Jersey Shanahan Can’t Be...

With all of the Olympics hoopla last week, we hadn't yet had a chance to preview the Blackhawks season, which opened in Helsinki, Finland against the Florida Panthers on Friday. After last season's renaissance on the ice, hockey has re-emerged as a sport we in Chicago care about, and we fans have high expectations for our Blackhawks in 2009-10. But a bizarre off-season splashed a large dose of ice...

from Bruce Brothers of the Pioneer Press, Martin Havlat is no Marian Gaborik. Many associated with the Wild believe that’s a good thing. When Gaborik, the Wild’s all-time scoring leader and all-time leader in groin injuries, skated away to the New York Rangers through free agency last summer, Wild general manager Chuck Fletcher moved quickly to obtain Havlat, another Eastern European scoring...

We’ve done the East, and now, the West… 1. San Jose The good… On paper, lots. The Sharks subtracted a player who went from 56 to 12 goals in the blink of an eye (Jonathan Cheechoo) and added a player who has averaged 37 goals a year over his seven year career and who is in his prime (Dany Heatley). The Sharks otherwise return their top four goal scorers and point producers from...

from Michael Russo of the Star Tribune, But one player who has avoided the injury thus far is Martin Havlat. As Havlat says, “Knock on wood.” After problems earlier in Havlat’s career, he seems to have solved the issue. Chicago Blackhawks assistant coach John Torchetti said he thinks he knows why. “Nobody prepares before a game or a practice more than ‘Grizzly,’”...

Man, what an opener for the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday. They played an overtime game against Alexander Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals (okay, Ovechkin didn't play, but the thought is nice!). There were 19,734 screaming fans at the United Center.This all came after a rough offseason that included Patrick Kane's legal troubles, former Blackhawk Martin Havlat's weird verbal bashing of the
