The Blackhawks have been vague about the “upper-body” injury that landed goalie Corey Crawford on injured reserve Dec. 27.

Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said he “didn’t want to get into the details of all that” when asked when his goalie was hurt and said he would be out “indefinitely.”

Quenneville said recently he expected Crawford to return this season but repeatedly has reiterated there were no updates on when Crawford would even be back on the ice.

According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman’s report Tuesday, there was concern last week that Crawford could miss the rest of the season, which could be decimating to the Blackhawks’ playoff hopes.

2nd tops.

I'd rather not help the Blackhawks if we can avoid it

 

The 13 names are the Cougars, Eagles, Emeralds, Evergreens, Firebirds, Kraken, Rainiers, Renegades, Sea Lions, Seals, Sockeyes, Totems and Whales.

I like Kraken and Sea Lions.

I feel this would cause a snowflake meltdown.

Yeah. The word is Ojibwe so unless rheee is a meaning I don’t know (very possible) it would seem to be not worth the hassle. In fact it’s a silly name for a team anyway. 

Of those listed I think Sea Lions or seals works best.   Ofcourse the NHL had a seals team once which is now the Dallas Stars.

That...I did not know.

well I don't think they should call it the whales, because that could be confusing if Hartford gets an NHL team again and they want to use Whalers

 

even though I don't want a team in Seattle right now I'm not opposed to some of these names, but Sockeyes sounds like a name you'd give a minor league baseball team

Yea I like the Seattle Sea-Lions, Kraken and firebirds in that order.

They wore white skates didn't they?

My Canadian History prof at Brandon University, Morris Mott, was a Golden Seal........I have his O-Pee-Chee card someplace....

Sea Lions might help sell season tickets to people thinking they're getting a deal on NFL seats

And it would probably just end up choking on it.
