I can't wait to get blasted for this selection

You didn't really think I would mention his father somewhere, did you. My heart says give it to Denis Savard, and the numbers scream Joel Quenneville, but we'll wait for the Hawks to win something significant before we hand out the Coach of the Decade.. As was the case I found at many positions when putting this list together, there has been a lot of crap in goal for the Hawks in the last 10 years. Of course, the Hawks let now-Colorado goaltender Craig Anderson go a couple years back, and there were the now-Buffalo backup Patrick Lalime years as well.But I'm going to take the Bulin Wall as the Hawks' Netminder of the Decade. He had some rough times for certain, but he took the Hawks to the Western Conference Finals last year For that, he gets the spot. This was an interesting pick to make.

Both Sullivan and Sharp have had significantly better plus-minus ratings than Zhamnov as well, but their time at wing discounted their overall stats for the center position.So it came down to the man infamously received in the trade that sent Jeremy Roenick packing against the current captain, Jonathan Toews.Toews has 90 fewer points in 93 fewer games with the Hawks in the decade, so the nod went to Zhamnov.Toews is the better goal scorer of the two, but Zhamnov averaged over 40 assists per season in his four Chicago campaigns.. I could have taken Sharp into consideration on the left side, but his time as a center took away from the overall body of work here. I can't wait to get blasted for this selection...There were some solid right wings that spent time in Chicago over the past decade.It began with Tony Amonte's great Blackhawks career ending, and he passed the torch to Tuomo Ruutu before the Hawks (gasp) signed free agent Martin Havlat to resurrect the offense.But Kane has been the best offensive right wing over the past decade.There is no question that Amonte, who scored 104 goals in three seasons to begin the decade, was the best goal scorer of the group Indeed, his total is 41 more than Havlat, who was second. Kane has 56 so far, but would have to score at a Gretzky-pace to top Amonte's goal total.However, Kane already has the top assist total, 119, of the four, 10 more than Amonte.Overall, Kane has 50 games left this season and needs 39 points to pass Amonte for the top among these four wings. He won't catch Havlat's 48, but his 4 is five better than Amonte, who was -1 for the decade.. They are arguably the best pair in the NHL right now, and might be selected to play next to each other for Team Canada in the upcoming Olympics.Throughout the early parts of the decade, the grab bag on the Hawks' blue line was almost laughable. While every new face failed to measure up to the standard set by Pierre Pilote and carried on by the likes of Doug Wilson in the 1980s and Chris Chelios in the 1990s, these two have some in and been the perfect match for each other.Keith is one of the fastest skaters in the league and is the scorer of the two.

Meanwhile, Seabook is the enforcer who will knock guys through the glass (as he did against St. Louis on Wednesday), into the bench (as he did in last year's Winter Classic) or into the next week, as he's done many times.As long as these two are the top line in Chicago, Blackhawks fans can rest assured that the great defensive tradition of the Indian Head sweater will be alive and well.. Back in 2006, when our Chicago Bulls tried (and failed) to push the Detroit Pistons to the limit (or as close to the limit as you can go without a Game Seven) I made a prediction. It was not a great prediction by any stretch, but I predicted that the Bulls would win 50 games the next season.

I fully admit I was wrong, but I was made wrong by many different factors, not the least of which was that the vastly overrated Luol Deng and Ben Gordon (who is not overrated) didn't sign contract extensions, and John Paxon helping to destroy team chemistry by not squashing immediately rumors that the Bulls were attempting to acquire Kobe Bryant, among others.But it was a draft trade made way back in April that pretty much doomed the Bulls to the situation they find themselves in, with a bad head coach who doesn't help the team win, a franchise player who doesn't have much of a franchise to lead, and a supporting cast that couldn't win if Doug Collins was coaching against them and pulled his players off the court.LaMarcus Aldridge. LaMarcus Aldridge is a demon who plays hard and comes to play, period. Now, in Thomas' defense, he plays with Derrick Rose, who could become a superstar if he has the right elements, including a guy who could coach his way out of a paper bag, and a bunch of stiffs, while Aldridge plays with the ice-cold stunner Brandon Roy and others But, Thomas was drafted to play power forward. Keep this in mind: since Horace Grant, the Bulls have never had a true PF become a star (unless you count Elton Brand, and I'm kind of afraid to). Dennis Rodman...well, I was never sure what position he played, but then again, size isn't everything.Since the Blazers grabbed Aldridge, he has steadily improved. To me, Aldridge is one of the most underrated players in the NBA.
