It’s that time of year again…

Also, Happy Birthday Duncan Keith!


Warmups: Toews On IR, Pirri Up

Hey, it's that guy again. (Photo: Cheryl Adams/flickr)

  • Jonathan Toews has been placed on Injured Reserve. Now, before people get upset about this, just remember that IR means that he won’t play for a week… which is All-Star Break. Which he’s officially not going to attend, anyway (Philadelphia Flyer Scott Hartnell will be taking his place). Take a deep breath and calm down, people.
  • Since Toews is on IR, Brandon Pirri has been called up to take his place tonight. (Chicago Blackhawks)
  • Corey Crawford will be in net for the Blackhawks, while Pekka Rinne is still not confirmed to be in net for the Predators, but is the most likely to be there. (Left Wing Lock)
  • Tickets for the 2012 Blackhawks Convention went on sale today, but I hope you already bought yours, because they are sold out. Damn, Blackhawks fans. (Chicago Blackhawks)
  • I was on the radio today. You can listen to it here. (WBEZ)
