Neimi might be decent of what some expect him to be,he has a great roster in front of him,and minus the choking,its a great team.
Niemi.. Oh Niemi. Why did you go to San Jose? Punk... Anyways, if he played like he did last year, I wouldn't be surprised to see him get pulled from a few games and not start others. He wasn't consistent during the regular season for the Hawks.
I guess because Chicago walked out. He was lucky in his time during the Blackhawks having Seabrook and Keith as a top line pair in the playoffs,and he'll have a similar situation with the Sharks..

Lol now myself and other Sharks fans understand why Blackhawk fans were saying this guy blows. Nittymaki has been better but hes not exactly a brick wall either. Our defense is terrible so its hard to judge either one too much but thus far Nittymaki has the edge.
I never necessarily said he sucked, he just made some dumbass mistakes.. He was clutch when we needed him.
I'm not sure how to think about Niemi. He was big at the end of the season and in the playoffs.. He was inconsistence during the rest of the season and Huet had the job. They should stick with.. Ny..nyik...-scratches head- That other dude for a while, untill Niemi proves himself.
