The only thing I said is that I am not surprised a coach with a big ass ego would look at the Hawks and go, "hmmm they are on a massive losing streak, I can play my backup." That's all I meant. You were the one that got all snarky and directed some retort at me specifically.
So, touche motherfucker.
I don't know if I agree that Torts saw the Hawks coming in as a reason to rest Henrik. I wasn't in the room for the decision, so who knows. I did watch the highlights on NHL Network last evening, and they were showing the MSG feed. Once it was 3-0, one of the announcers went "Oh boy," referring to the Rangers were going to be the team the Blackhawks were going to end the streak on-- meaning that the NYR-- and the rest of the teams that faced the Hawks on the slide didn't want to be the ones to end that streak.
Now the Hawks have to go to Columbus and face a relatively healthy turd of a team (Wiz is finally back, but Carter is finding the score sheet too)-- let's hope they don't lay one on the ice Saturday.
