Blackhawks at Wild IGT 1/30/13 7:00 PM on NBC Sports network

they still have guys who can play. It isnt like the CBJs of previous years. The hawks got worked in the physical sense the night before and had to face a fresh team (whether or not they are good,great, bad, avg) etc.

If any weakness gets exposed at any given point of the season my bet would be on crawford. I hope he continues to play well but that is where I can see an issue.

I don't think this a bad team by any means, but I worry about this long road trip including stops against some of the best teams in the conference. At least the stop in San Jose is going to be the most interesting given how Niemi tends to play against us.

I agree.

what?!?!

first off I highly doubt we will see sharp or kane take the draw than move back to their position while they are winning so lets end that thought. k?

any other moves would be moving bolland off the 2nd line if they do any changes to the lines. That would be an issue.

but its ok...we can agree to disagree.

brunette is available to help right for depth?

It can very well happen, if Bolland gets tossed from the circle who takes the draw? it has to be Kane or Sharp unless you want a D to take the draw. As i have said in numerous posts, apparently you cant read and comprehend cause you just like to argue, no line changes need to be made. If the face-offs are getting out of control let the winger take a draw and move back to wing after the draw. It's not that hard. Whats the difference of using that as a strategy, than having a Center getting tossed and having the wing take a draw. That does not affect the chemistry of the line, so keep responding about me mixing up line combos, i'd also like to see the post where i said that

I agree.

Which makes tonight even more key, with the Hawks clearly in better shape. The Wild having played the last night against a physical opponent and still adjusting to the massive changes in the roster are definitely weaker. Hopefully we are looking at 7-0 by the end of the night. With the teams I follow it has been I think never since that has happened for one of my teams.

Is Kane or Sharp going to be any better in taking a draw than Bolland though? My recollection was that neither was particularly adept at that.

Kane wouldn't be an upgrade, but when sharp has played C he has posted 50% and higher.

 

[dabynsky]

Look awfully flat even before the goal.

 

[icehogfan08]

That's cause Kruger took the draw and Shaw was on the wing. There goes the team chemistry

The draw was fine...it was just everything after the draw that sucked.

 

[dabynsky]

Kaner might have a goal here, but I didn't see clearly one way or ther other.

 

[dabynsky]

Goal!

Yeah but you know changes affect the chemistry

 

[icehogfan08]

Good play by Shaw just going to the net

 

[icehogfan08]

2-1 toews

 

[dabynsky]

Toews! So much for looking flat.

 

[dabynsky]

Emery playig for the Wild tonight?

 

[icehogfan08]

Wow at Harding here comes backstrom

 

[nwfisch]

Poor Harding.

 

[icehogfan08]

Well lets take advantage of a tired backstrom, hopefully...

 

[icehogfan08]

I wish Saad would score, he will get so much more confidence
