Blackhawks Training Camp came to an end last night with a loud dull thud, as the Kevin Dineen coached White Team faced off against the Mike Kitchen coached Red Team. This was just another event to bilk Hawks fans for money, and for the McDonough empire to whip its phallic member out for everyone to kiss. Mission accomplished.
There wasn't much action at all with most of the top players coasting along at roughly 75%, but the possible fourth line of Jeremy Morin, Marcus Kruger and Ben Smith each had 2 points. That is good news for the bottom of the Blackhawks lineup if Quenneville doesn't force a worthless face puncher into the mix; which he will, just to add to the coaching difficulty level.
Other than the possible fourth line combination, Cam Barker scored for the Red team, to break the shutout. He is just pissing all over good things this fall. First, he injures the wonderkid, and then he ruins the Raanta/Carruth/Leighton shutout. Next thing we can expect is for him to set fire to a box of puppies in front of the Mikita/Hull statues after drinking and driving while sending dick pics to underaged girls. What the hell, man?
As far as the Goalies go, Most of them looked decent until the Shootout. That is where Scott Darling put on his display of suck. He only saved 1 of 5 attempts and looked pretty overmatched doing so. He may end up in Indy before all is said and done.
Tonight is the Blackhawks and Detroit on CSN+. GAME ON!
