It's back for a dry run as the defending World Champion Chicago Blackhawks will take the ice versus a Team that had them on the ropes in the Detroit Red Wings. The Hawks have a six-game pre-season that will conclude with a date with the Caps and 2012-13 Hart Trophy Winner (NHL MVP) Alexander the Great Ovechkin.

The Hawks have most of their core back as they try to make a another run which is most certainly possible giving the facts that the heart of that core is barley 25 in Jonathan "Toewser" Toews and Patrick "Citizen" Kane 88. The Hawks also picked up Back-Up Net Minder and former Hawks Goalie Nikolai Khabibulin. The Depth is getting younger and younger and the Hawks are not just built for 2012-14 but GM Stan Bowman is building the Hawks to have a run at the Cup at least for the next Decade.  

Players to Watch minus the Usual Suspects:

RW Jimmy Hayes Age 23
C Teuvo Tervainen Age 19
C Brandon Pirri Age 22
LW Jeremy Morin Age 22
D Mike Kostka Age 27

These are the Five that have been making the most noise in Training Camp and the Finnish Center Teuvo Tervainen is the Next in Line" of Great Finnish Hockey Players like Teemu Selanne and Saku Koivu as well as Esa Tikkanen.

Next up for the Hawks is "Sid the Kid" and the Pens on Thursday Night....
