Niemi, Bickell steal the show
In the Blackhawks Oct. 21 loss to the Vancouver Canucks at the
United Center, Canucks' defenseman Willie Mitchell
delivered a clean but hard hit on Hawks' captain Jonathan Toews,
leaving Toews with a concussion that sidelined him for six games. Hawks coach Joel Quenneville didn't think the Mitchell hit would have an impact on Sunday's game.
Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis held his usual news conference Sunday alone and with no news about his future employment status. Weis said he and Swarbrick have not had any such meeting. They saw
each other only briefly in the locker room Saturday, after Notre Dame
dropped to 6-5 with a 33-30 home loss in overtime to Connecticut (5-5).

successfully used to produce blowout wins against the Bulls in the last
two games.
