Except for a couple blunders, I think Johnny Oduya has been a good addition for the Hawks, he plays over 20 minutes a game and is a great skater.
Oduya was a really good addition, besides hearing seabrook in his game tying goals, the most i heard of the hawks defense was Oduya this, oduya with the puck, oduya shot.
The guy was everywhere, he was steady, hardly making mistakes, easily i think he was one of the better guys.
Hawks fans who say Niemi should have stayed easily forget that he was almost always shaky, and rarely dominated. Crawford isn't the answer, but they should have utilized ray emery, the guy is a darn good goalie, he gets no respect, he could easily become the starter.
Jimmy howard is absolutely overrated, one of the most overrated, i dont get how amazing he is, he's not, he took over for chris osgood, who was super shaky his entire career.
