Blackhawks Plan On Two-Goalie System
5th August, 2008 - 11:59 am
The Chicago Tribune - The Blackhawks plan to use a two-goalie system this upcoming season, using both Cristobal Huet and Nikolai Khabibulin in the net, according to The Chicago Tribune.

"We're going to push each other to play and to compete," Huet said. "It's going to benefit the team. He's definitely a great goalie. There's going to be competition, obviously, [but] it's always like that with any NHL team. This year is going to be a little more than the average team, but it's great. We're going to work together and make it happen every night so we can [get] some wins."

"It's all about winning — it's not about keeping people happy," General Manager Dave Tallon said. "We want to have an opportunity … to have the best goaltending every night. If by chance that's not going to work as far as number of games played or not wanting to be here then we have to look at that. ... If it's keeping Khabibulin, we do that. If it's not, then we move on and we try to do something that makes sense for both of us." [READ]
