It looks like Khabibulin is getting the start but it should have been Crawford's. Crawford is practicing today, maybe Q decided to give him the night off.

Kind of hoping Raanta gets another chance to start the season with the Hawks, everyone knows Habby is a mediocre goalie.

Lines at practice:

Bickell - Toews - Kane
Sharp - Kruger - Smith
Saad - Shaw - Hayes
Bollig - Pirri - Nordstrom

No Handzus, Hossa or Morin.
- DarthKane

Wouldn't they line-up the team that was going to play tonite?

Q said Hossa wasn't going to play.

Yes - lift with your legs, Corey - not your back.

No Gr8 tonite I think - he's running the Olympic torch.

Glad the Olympic leaders decided that discrimination falls within the Olympic charter - business as usual for an organization that has had it's share of racists and anti Semites in its leadership.

Honestly I had to look up who "Kramer" was. Never enjoyed the work of Jerry Seinfeld or Larry David. All told, watched maybe at most one episode of Seinfeld.

I was never a big watcher or fan of Seinfeld myself.

You just want more autograph opportunities before he becomes famous, Mr. IceHogs Season Ticket Holder.

You got me. I've got to stock up on the Pirri autographed items so I can sell'em on ebay and make a small fortune, once he takes the NHL by storm. Those season tickets don't pay for themselves, ya know?

Apparently we disagree about civil rights and the UN charter - ok, we'll disagree.

UN......UN...there is a reputable organization. Charter...oh like a letter people sign stating something that they demand you abide by...but they do not have too...

Talk about over dramatization. News flash. There have long been gay and straight people in the olympics. There will be this year. The fact that they can't have a freddy mercury parade, does not mean there is discrimination. An athletes sexual preference is irrelevant to me. Not why I watch.

I do not root for one athlete over the other because of their preference either way. You want to go to the olympics to win gold and represent your country. Have at it. God bless. Save the political statements for lady gaga concert.

My gripe was with the Olympic Committee statement the a blatantly discriminatory law was ok according to the Olympic Charter - an explicit statement by the Olympic Committee - EDIT TO ADD: a political statement by them.

That's all.

Oh, and, of course, a comment on the racial and anti-Semitic history of the movement - for reference, Avery Brundage and Juan Samaranche.

Fair enough, you went past my pay grade with the last reference. You could have made those guys up for all I know....

Just a few more days to burn.
