[A] Blackhawks (21-8-4) VS Penguins (18-11-4) 12/20 - 6:30 PM

[dlrob315]

Home cooking has been good to the Blackhawks this month; hopefully they can stir up some victory soup on the road when facing the Penguins. Although the Penguins have cooled off lately and are playing without Crosby again the Blackhawks will still need to show up in Pittsburgh with their “A” game.

Crosby too much of a pussy to play Toews again... what's new.



I bet this one goes to OT.

Can't have a Hawks game without one.



3-2 Hawks

 

[R K]

wonder if it'll be Emery or Crawford.

 

[PatrickSharpRules]

I say stay with Emery and give Crawford the nod on Wednesday at home. Really like the overall play we've had of late, but the Pens come out with a game much like our own, and they seem to finish their checks very well.



I mean with Letang, Crosby, Lovejoy and possibly Staal out I am going into this game very optimistic. We also seem to play well in loud and intense stadiums.



Hopefully Seabrook returns and we get a good outcome, I say Hawks 5-4.

 

[the canadian dream]

Should be a good one. Can't see why both teams wouldn't be up for the game.



Should be the game of the week...hope so anyways.

I couldn't see us not being up for it, a short 1 game trip then right back home. We're playing very well right now and the Pens are reeling with injuries but again aren't showing it. Should be a solid one.

If we play like we have been playing lately. It might go to OT but I think the hawks win either way. 4-3 hawks.



P.S. John Scott please just beat the shit out of Cooke, take your penalties and become a hero to everyone.

How dare you speak of Father Cooke like that!



Haven't you heard??



He is now a reformed individual and a Lady Byng candidate:



33 Game Played

12 Penalty Minutes



Well that's what the Pens fans spew anyways...



EDIT: In fact, Deryk Engelland might be the only person in the league (besides Brookbank) to fight Scott.

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

Seabrook is playing tonight.

Engalland won't go. Their D is way too banged up.



Forget about MacIntyre?

Doh! That's actually who I meant!



With Seabrook back I doubt he plays though.

Well, I hope they're both in. Carcillo's still out. I want to see if anyone can actually kick Scott's ass.

Mac is the guy to get the job done if anyone can. That dude is fucking scary.

Ask Ivanans.

Wait, he probably doesn't remember him yet.

 

[Ton]

Unofficial but official line-up.



Seabs is in, like Stu said. Morin still on the top line, Scott still in. Emery again.

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

Has it been reported somewhere that scott is playing or is that speculation, tony?

 

[Ton]

They wouldn't "report" that Scott is still in the line-up, they would only report that he has been swapped for [insert name here]



Given that there is no report on his replacement, I would assume he is playing until someone says otherwise.



I'll ask Kuc to get confirmation, but I think I already know the answer.

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

I meant did any of the beat writers confirm it.

 

[Ton]

No, for the love of God they did not say "Scott is in the line-up" hahaha but like I said, they don't need to say that. Its not like they would "confirm" it every game. Unless he is bumped out, they will not even mention him and unless something changes, that is the line-up for tonight.



Just for you though, I sent Kuc a message to confirm it.

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

Before last game they said "scott still in" after the morning skate. But whatever well find out in a couple hours.

 

[Lampshade_gurl]

Should b a good game! Can't wait.
