It hasn't been a pleasant few weeks on the West Side, with the Hawks losing three games in a row to three of the Western Conference's top teams. Suddenly there are multiple teams looking down on the Hawks in the standings, but perhaps Chicago isn't concerned about looking back up at those teams and instead at looking inside to figure out how to remedy this current slide. Q jumbled up the lines at practice yesterday, with Fleischman-Toews-Kane starting out as the No. 1 group. Darling's in net as the Hawks welcome a team that's on the tail end of games on back-to-back nights. Sounds like a good time to turn this thing around.


LET'S GO HAWKS!!

Watched a good portion of the Flyers/Wings game last night and that Ghost Bear is damn fun to watch.

Dude would be a lock for the Calder if it wasn't for Panarin.
He may even get some Norris votes.

3. LINEUP SHAKEUP

Quenneville announced after Tuesday's practice that Scott Darling would get the start on Wednesday against Philadelphia, as Corey Crawford will earn some rest after enduring a few rough starts. Darling has a 4-3-0 record in nine appearances (seven starts) against Eastern Conference teams this season, including a perfect 3-0 record on home ice; he's never faced the Flyers. Just two of his last six appearances have been true starts, so Wednesday should be a good opportunity to get the Blackhawks' backup netminder back into game rhythm. Quenneville also shook up his forward lines to try and form some new chemistry, resulting in Tomas Fleischmann and Patrick Kane flanking Jonathan Toews on the top line, Marian Hossa slotting down to the second line, Teuvo Teravainen centering Andrews Ladd and Shaw on the third line and Andrew Desjardins moving back to center on the fourth line.

So either Panik/Mashinter-Desjardins-Weise

I kinda like the look of that 2nd line. Not sure about Fleishmann on the 1st line though.

 

[DMelt36]

Alright, enough with this losing shit. Let's fucking go Hawks.
