Ugh, Pisani back in probably? :facepalm:

Right after he actually started to play good. Awesome.

I think Kruger plays over Pisani.

This couldn't have come at a worse time though. That line w/ Bickell and Frolik and Bolland was flourishing in the Hawks' comeback. But the good news w/ that is that Kopecky did travel to Vancouver, so it's gotta be him or Kruger over Pisani.

Out for Game 7, and if we win that, longer. Not the worst thing in the world (not Toews or Kane), but this could hurt a bit.

I'm focused on Game 7 more than the 3 weeks though.

The thing I'm most scared of out of this is that Bickell finally learned that he's 6'4'' and 223 and can actually hit people. Hopefully that doesn't make him too gun shy when he comes back next year.

If Kopz is ready I'm sure he would fill in. I would not complain one bit if they put him in right in the Bickell 3rd line spot. Worked last year when he filled in there for Ladd.

Right after he actually started to play good. Awesome.

Just be thankful he was there to help us out. he was playing with a pretty serious injury and still kicked ass. Let's hope the team rewards his play with staying alive for the next 3 weeks so he can play again.

Jesse Rogers thinks it'll be Brouwer w/ Frolik & Bolland and Kruger on the 4th line. I'd have to agree w/ him.
