Chicago Blackhawks Playoff Roster/Player Discussion Thread

[DMelt36]

Liked the move of scratching Bollig tonight. Just didn't see his skillset as a need. Hayes in the lineup was a nice changeup.

I don't know what the hell was plaguing Michael Frolik during the regular season but I'm damn happy that he's shaken it off for the playoffs. He's been flying all over the ice in the last few games.

But where? He doesn't belong in the top 6 and Q is not going to yank Bruno out of the lineup for him. Bollig's spot?

That was a good call...

Bickell tied for most hits in the Playoffs with Doan and Ovechkin

:bizarro:

 

[Everyday I'm Byfuglien]

granted bickell turned it on with about 15 games left in the regular season, but where was it all year? he was so bad and even after he was benched for an extended period, he was still shitty.

what's weird is that he was decent at the end of the vancouver series last year too.

its frustrating trying to figure him out.

It's like a poor man's Dustin Byfuglien. You wish he'd play all 82.

Byfuglien was the same way. Mostly MIA in the regular season.

However, the poor man's Byfuglien (or lite) is a more accurate playoff depiction.

I still am shocked that this team that was so dominant in the regular season lost in the first round. :crying:

A team with such uneven goaltending and terrible special teams can't be considered dominant.

They were well above average but with large flaws in important areas.
