The secret of Q lies in the little note pad he uses to write notes in when something significant happens.
Tuesday: Been constipated for three days...need bran
Thursday: Ate four bowls of 90% bran flakes this morning. The waiting is the hardest part.
Thursday night: Must scale back to 40% bran. Took my good pants to cleaners. Embarrassed, yet content.
Friday: Slept in til 2. Too late to stop at Roszies and weld his doors and windows shut before he leaves. Drat! Can't stop daydreaming about peanut butter. I'm late for my pre-game waxing. Oh...cleaners couldn't get favourite pants shitstain free. (briefly sobbed). More later.

If you are going to put Versteeg in now it has to be

Shaw-Kruger-Versteeg

Its finally Tuevo time and Tuevo seems to have some chemistry with Sharp so that also solves what to do with Sharp. Putting Vermette in there just gives these playmakers a nice screener and faceoff winner. Whats not to like?

None of the top 3 lines should be messed with imo. Kane is the best player to utilize Bickells outside shot, while Bick is the best to protect Kane. The first line is in a grove. Desjardins and Rozy are the only players that should be messed with.

If TVR is healthy, and eligible, I would consider it.

I'd just stick with what they got now, got a goal from all 4 lines.

Yah not sure why anyone would have a disdain for dejards right now. Havent seen him do anything drastically horrible and the good has outweighed any negatives. I see no issues with the forward roster or lines right now. Still not happy with the defensive pairings myself although i understand why they are what they are, but winning is winning.

Yep, Desj is good working the boardz battlez for that 4th line and gets the tertiary assist in the kruger goal in my book.

Forward lines have been pretty good to my noob eyes. I still wanna see more Keith and Seabrook together. At least in the final moments of the game. That pairing is money.

No disdain for Desjardins.

But..... who comes off the ice? Its between Tuevo, Desjardins, Shaw, Kruger, Vermette, Versteeg.

Take one off. Its easy to take the 20 year old off, but I'm not sure thats the best for our plus/minus
Versteeg off I'm totally fine with, its Q thats gonna Q and he seems to think that guy is a top 6 on a team he barely squeks inside the top 15.

Versteeg fucking sucks and can sit in the press box sipping mai tai's all fucking night. He is the odd man out and it's not even close.

If he sits out last year in the playoffs, as he sure as **** should have, Hawks are probably defending the cup this season.....
