The story of goalie Patrick Lalime

Something to Prove
For Lalime last season is one he would rather forget. The former Senators netminder posted his first losing record (4-18) in seven NHL seasons. His poor play with the St. Louis Blues earned him a trip to the minors. Adding insult to injury last season Lalime tore his left ACL in a late-season game with the Blues. Lalime must now prove to the Chicago Blackhawks that they were correct in taking a chance on signing him as a free agent this past off-season. |

Hawks insider answers Latham's question
Is Patrick Lalime healthy for training camp. What will be Patrick's expected job? -- John Latham, Port Colborne, ON. John, Lalime is 100% recovered from his shoulder injury last season and will serve as Khabibulin's backup this year. He is on a one-way contract, so the only way you're likely to see Crawford or Sebastien Caron is if Khabibulin or Lalime gets injured. The Blackhawks have high hopes Crawford, who needs at least one more full year in the American Hockey League. You want young goalies to play, and it doesn't benefit Crawford or the Hawks to have him sitting on the bench here in Chicago. |
