[A] Western Conference Quarterfinal: 4/21 - CHI (1) vs (3) PHX 9:00 PM

[Pez68]

That lineup is ....atrocious. If the Hawks push this another game, it will be IN SPITE of Q. Again. Player's only meeting held. I can only hope it was Toews saying "**** whatever this idiotic coaching staff is telling us. Let's go out and bury these mother ******* by playing OUR game, and by playing for US."



I know he said nothing of the sort, but, yeah.



Morrison, Brunette, OD? How can you expect to win by playing those guys? Your best center with a guy who should be in the ECHL, and a guy who just got done playing juniors?

Your 5th leading scorer playing on the 4th line? No Mayers? Holy ****.

Mayers or Hayes probable if Bollig sits.

"we got this".....



I expect a fired up team tonight.

 

[roshinaya]

If they could play like they do the last minute when frantically looking to tie the game for just half a game, then they should be able to "get it". Until they can back it up on the ice, it's just talk.

 

[Mach29]

Wanna see that 'Heart of a Champion' thing for 60 minutes.



I'm sure they like playing hockey better than golf.



Predict a solid win against a proven difficult opponent.

Yup. But it's nice to know they haven't mailed it home.

 

[supraman]

Yup. But it's nice to know they haven't mailed it home.

Nope just mailed it for all but 2 minutes of every game

 

[R K]

Nope just mailed it for all but 2 minutes of every game

wow.

 

[Ashor-redtribe]

4-2 Hawks

 

[Rex]

wow.

yeah, I was just going to say mailed in the first 12 minutes of the third.

 

[FourFeatherFury]

I think if they play at any pace less than balls to the wall then its fucking over tonight. Guess it goes without saying but ****, I really want them to win this shit.

 

[Spunky Porkstacker]

The only reason Mayers should not be playing would be an injury. If he is healthy and not playing WTF!



When Morrison plays he appears to be just skating around avoiding contact and the puck.

 

[mikita's helmet]

Line-up as it stands... no confirmation from Q.



Not the worst but certainly could be better. I would do something like this:



Sharp/Toews/Kane

Bickell/Bolland/Frolik

Stalberg/Kruger/Saad

Bollig/Mayers/Brunette



But wtf do I know, I'm not the one with the Cup ring.



Toews held a players only meeting on the ice after practice this morning.

I'd do the same, but scratch Brunette and dress Hayes.

 

[the canadian dream]

Hawks have this game.



Work was garbage today piped were exploding and flooding. My backs in major spasms.



The day cant get worse..so hawks obviously win.



Score on the pp damn it and lite up smith tonight!!!!

 

[Spunky Porkstacker]

I'd do the same, but scratch Brunette and dress Hayes.

I've been wanting to see Hayes as well. Q evidently thinks slow, old and experienced would outweigh what Hayes brings.

 

[Larmer83]

Reverse symmetry, catch it!



On Thursday all four Chicago sports teams in action lost. So far today..



Cubs win-shocking

Sox win with a perfect game by Humber- shit load of shocking

Bulls lead by 6 at the half

Tracey Myers ‏ @TramyersCSN

No Jamal Mayers in warmups. So healthy scratch again for him.

 

[Larmer83]
