Man ... remember when you used to circle the date for every Blackhawks/Canucks meeting? Those were some glorious games. Now? Vancouver is in the middle of a freefall to the Western Conference basement, joining all of the other Canadian teams in the conference. They've got Henrik Sedin, Daniel Sedin and ..... I think that's about it. Get two points and get on to the next one.

LET'S GO HAWKS!!

Also, the Hawks second line tonight:

PANARIN-TEUVO-KANE

Anisimov out, day-to-day with a lower-body injury. Doesn't sound anything major, but holy shit I cannot wait to watch that second line.

 

[DMelt36]

Also Darling is starting in net and Ehrhoff is skating on the third D pairing with TVR. I swear that Ehrhoff can be a contributor to this team. Hope he shows something tonight. This opponent is another great candidate for a slump buster.

2-2 uh oh

 

[Bergz22]

What's up Melt?

 

[Bergz22]

Thank you Toews...the best player on this team.

 

[DMelt36]

What's up Melt?

Easter food coma. You?

 

[Bergz22]

Easter food coma. You?

Same, had a crown of pork roast. Tasty

 

[DMelt36]

Two points. Playoffs clinched.

I'll take it.

 

[Bergz22]

Yes sir. This is a different team come playoffs,

 

[DMelt36]

Yes sir. This is a different team come playoffs,

Definitely. Hoping for one or two real good performances at the end of the season to calm some nerves. Playing on the back end of two straight games tonight, just wanted the two points.

I just wanted the four!!! Haha. What do you make of Crawford. Hurt or resting for the playoffs?

I think he's definitely hurt but they also are in no rush to bring him back.

That's good. I've been trying to find about playoffs. I know it's all still in the air, just wondering who the Hawks could play.

They could still play virtually anyone in the West right now. Most likely scenario now has them finishing third and they'd play the second place team in the Central Division, either St. Louis or Dallas.

Oh geeze not St. Louis or Dallas. Although this team tends to turn it on in the playoffs. The April 7th game against the Blues will be a teller.

Well if the Hawks fall to the 4th slot in the West it could be LA or Anaheim

No good route either way. They just have to tough it out. I still think this team can turn it on in the playoffs. They are a very dangerous team.
