Blackhawks Are Really Really Good At Hockey

For those of you still suffering though the NBA and NFL season, how about you check out the only good team in the city. Yup, it's the Blackhawks again. They are on their annual circus trip, the same one which basically destroys the Bulls every year, and they have won 7 games in a row. They just destroyed all of Canada (Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver) and are currently ranked as the top team in the NHL based on ESPN.com's power ranking. All this despite not having their best player, Marion Hossa, though he will make his Hawks debut on Wednesday. Cristobal Huet is playing like a top 5 goalie and all is good in Hawk land.

Also, within the next week, the Blackhawks are expected to sign Kane and Toews to identical 6yr/36mil deals, while Duncan Keith is expected to get a 13yr/65mil deal.
