Czeching In: Marty Havlat Returns To The UC
Just a few months ago, Marty Havlat was the darling of Chicago hockey, having just given the Blackhawks their first playoff victory in seven years with a game-winning overtime goal against the Flames. Despite the postseason heroics, the Blackhawks replaced Havlat with free agent Marian Hossa in the offseason.
Tonight Havlat returns to the United Center with his new team, the
Minnesota Wild. He's missed a few games this season with a strained
groin and he hasn't done much to help an anemic Minnesota offense that has left the Wild with a 3-7 record, good for dead last in the
Northwest.
After Chicago let him go, Havlat stunned fans with bitter, angry
Twitter messages aimed at the Hawks organization. So to honor our
former hero, now opponent, the guys over at
Second City Hockey, (who cover the Blackhawks better than just about anyone) wrote up this little Top Ten list for their Blackhawks newsletter,
The Committed Indian.
Top 10 Martin Havlat Twitter Updates From Minnesota
10.
"Still getting used to St. Paul. Thought all the women looked big
because they were in parkas, then realized that's not the case."
9. "Still looking for Italian place where they don't put ketchup on the pasta."
8. "There's something to be said for loyalty, but there's also something to be said for having a competent center."
7. "Clutterbuck shuts up less than Burish."
6. "Can't tweet for a week, pulled a groin on the last one."
5. "Still haven't met Prince. Very disappointed."
4. "Girlfriend loves it here, she says it's like being Helen of Troy."
3. "The gorilla won't let me read....sorry, flashbacks from Game 3."
2. "Can't go two feet without seeing a picture of Brett Favre here. I hate the guy and I don't even know who he is."
1. "Going back to Chicago Monday, get to see a real center again."
I'm
excited to hear what kind of reception Havlat gets at the United Center
tonight. I hope the fans remember his spectacular season last year and
give him a nice welcome back when he takes the ice. Of course, after
that, I hope he gets crushed like the rest of 'em.

With fans like these, glad Marty got out of Chicago. Funny he said the fans deserve to know the truth, well with looks like Chitown fans can't handle the truth. Way to stay classy Cicago!
