Brandon Manning gets traded, the Blackhawks lose another Winter Classic, and a look back at the dark ages of the early 2000's on this week's Emergency Goalies podcast.

This week, the Blackhawks are playing a bit better. Colin Delia looks good. And why Michael and I prefer the World Juniors to the Winter Classic.

We discuss Corey Crawford's future after his scary injury. Henri Jokiharu going to the Junior World Championships. And of course my spot on Patrick Roy impression.

We talk about the current not so fun Hawks. Then we talk about the much more fun 1995 Blackhawks. Belfour, Roenlck, Daze...they're all here!

Michael and Sean talk tanking and bad starts on this weeks pod. Also is the Hawks frustration boiling over?

Michael is back and we discuss the Schmaltz/Strome trade, Duncan Keith's decline, and look for hope for the Hawks future.

Michael is having Thanksgiving in South Dakota, so Will Chase comes on to guest host. We talk about a good week for the Hawks and some Blue Jackets talk. Michael will be back next week.

Things are not going well for the Hawks right now. Sean and Michael look for some glimmer of hope. And a preview of the basically must win games this week. Also a discussion of the Cap Hit Line.

Coach Q is out and Michael and I break it down. How much are the Bowman's to blame? I desperately try to pronounce interim coach Jeremy Colliton's name.

On this weeks episode, Michael gets fired up about the Hawks power play. The young defensemen improve and we say good bye to the Sedin Twins.
