I have to put my foot down and say enough is enough.

Everybody has to shut up about the Blackhawks and the “goaltending situation.”

What goaltending situation?

Oh yeah, the one that all of Chicago has construed over the past couple of days. That situation.
One main reason is that Cristobal Huet has done nothing wrong to be treated like this. If you want to blame him for giving up three goals in the 6-5 win over Calgary Monday, you are dead wrong.

Goal one: Blame Cam Barker for making a turnover in his own zone.

Goal two: Blame the team for allowing the Flames to keep the puck for so long.

Goal three: Blame Duncan Keith for not covering Jarome Iginla.

Reason two is that the Hawks are only two weeks into the season. Seriously. The team has played five games.

And just to let you all know, Antti Niemi is not a step up, so stop acting like he’s Patrick Roy compared to Huet.

Get over yourselves and stop hopping on the insult bandwagon just like you did with Milton Bradley, because it’s basically the same situation.

Hockey is a team game. If the team is losing, then blame the team.
