    Gretzky scored 122 career playoff goals on 299 total shots. Dude shot 40.8% in the playoffs. Sick.

    Stalberg: "I want to ... play the same way I have all year. If they didn’t think I did that in the first round, so be it." — he just sounds so arrogant there

    Soon as Subban touched the ice for team Canada they lose. Why keep allowing these Subbans to play on the national teams?

An exhibition game for Ronald McDonald charity house will bring together current and former hawks for a good cause. The game will pit the Chicago Blackhawks players against other top players from the league, cleverly named Chicago Stars vs. The World.

The game will take place at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont on Oct 26, since the persistent lockout has kept the players out of the United Center.

According to Adam Jahns, Chicago players will include: Jonathan Toews, Patrick Sharp, Adam Burish, Brian Campbell, Kris Versteeg, Dave Bolland, Jake Dowell, Ben Eager, James Wisniewski, John Madden, Craig Anderson, and Troy Brouwer.

The collection of other players from the league include: Ryan Suter, Mike Brown, Antti Miettinen, Jared Boll, Alex Goligoski, Kimmo Timonen, Ville Leino, Jack Johnson, Tom Gilbert, and Al Montoya.

Tickets will go on sale at 5 pm and tickets can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com here. Ticket prices will range anywhere from $10 to $60. 100 VIP tickets are available for those willing to spend $500, which will earn you glass seats, an event jersey, and a meet-and-greet with the players before the game from 6-6:45 pm.

Charity game starts at 7:30 pm.

I hope they settle the lockout before this, but if not it sounds very cool.
Not too expensive either.

Whether it is settled on paper I don't think will make much difference between now and the event on next Friday.

I would go but have prior commitments that day.

Yeah Tix Bastards changed there security code. Took me a couple tries cause first I didn't notice the number in the pic. Then I thought ok let me put a space between the word n #. Finally the last try I put the word n number together n it worked. There are still tix avail. Hopefully this helps!

Will be there. Sure it is not "real" hockey, but the tentitive rosters sound interesting and it should be good entertainment. At least I hope they are going to have some fun with the game.

And it goes to RMH, which is a charity I tend to support as the service the provide is very good.

Are the teams already set or are they going to do a quick fantasy draft? That would be kind of fun as long as it didn't take more than 15 minutes.

Donno, but picking sticks up from center ice would be interesting.

However, I get the feeling it will be current/former Hawks vs players from other teams.

Any update on the roster?

It's funny to me that reading the prelimary one...

According to Adam Jahns, Chicago players will include: Jonathan Toews, Patrick Sharp, Adam Burish, Brian Campbell, Kris Versteeg, Dave Bolland, Jake Dowell, Ben Eager, James Wisniewski, John Madden, Craig Anderson, and Troy Brouwer.


Minus Anderson and Wisniewski, they are all from the SC team right? God I miss that team.
