They also talked about how tough James Neal, one of the biggest complainer, prima donna, divers in the league was, when he checked Keith at the start of the game. LMFAO!

That's the real reason he left Pittsburgh; only room enough for one pretty boy pussy in that town.

Another great shift by desjards here. Making me miss ben much less although i will always love him

My thoughts exactly. Indy will always be muh boy!

Kane gets clutched and grabbed so bad out there sometimes. He needs to pull a h sedin and take a dive every now and then.

He needs to retaliate but they won't let him get pumped up. I'm telling ya, it would just take a little speedmetal and some adderol.

Nah, just spike his gatorade with some vodka. Don't you remember when he got hammered and beat up a cabbie during the '09 offseason?

So do we the hawks stick with what worked and stay the lineup course, or try something new and get Rosie and Bickell out of there. At least he lead the team in hits.

As Pekker continues to struggle in this series can we expect to see a new starting goalie in those shit yellow Unis eventually?

The crowd sounded so quiet yesterday during the broadcast, but in yesterdays post game presser with Darling he said a couple times that the crowd was unbelievably loud, louder than he's ever heard it. NBC must have had their mikes turned down, or Darling needs to get out more.

I like TT in there but Q will probably stick with the same lineup tomorrow. Vermette won 4 out of 9 FOs, is his game good enough to keep playing or have a seat? If there are any changes, TT in for Vermette.

Having the last change probably helps Rosi to not get exposed so bad. Like it or not I doubt Bickell or Rosi get sat down.

Bick has looked good enough that there isn't any real cause to sit him, especially since he's stepped up his physical game and things are getting chippy (looks like Ribiero may have to be put in his place). As far as I can tell the only reason Roz hasn't been sent back to Czech is because of that excellent stretch pass he tosses down the ice every once in a while...other than that he's pretty much useless.

Honestly, I have no problem with riding Darling unless he screws the pooch. Whatever works for the win.

I still think the D *really* needs to tighten up though. It was really bad form having the Preds answer right back after we scored on the 1st two. It's almost like the 'hawks response to scoring a goal was a chinese firedrill in their own end--Not really fair to Darling.

That being said, Vermette is hit-or-miss. I would say stay if for no other reason than faceoffs.

Dejardins should be in over Officer Nordberg.

I wish there was another option other than Rosival or Timonnen. Granted, Rosival was merely invisible the past 5 periods (not a liability like the 1st 5), but icing them in a playoff matchup is like bringing a bunt cake to a machine gun fight.

Was also nice to see guys intentionally shooting away from Rinne's glove.

Either way, good to be up 2-1. Let's make it 3-1 after Tuesday.

I would take a 1-legged TVR over Rozival.... I would take a fucking corpse on some sort of and ice-skate sled over T-Roz....

But srs.... can we get TVR back soon? No way he is worse than T-Roz.

IMHO Cumiskey/Runblad would be better than Timmo/Rosival--if for nothing else than they have more speed to get back and attempt to fix their fuckups.

After game 1 I was expecting to see Cumiskey over Rosie but it didn't happen. At least at this point the media has taken notice of the how bad out geriatric D-men are and is getting some press. Not like it will change Q's unhealthy fascination with Raisin-ranch D-men, but if we do get knocked out of the playoffs and the status quo is maintained more questions will be asked about Q's mindset and the "why".

But, I do think Dejardins stays over Nordstrom.

I give Vermette one more game, just in the off chance that it finally clicks but not because of the faceoffs, the whole team rebounded at the dot and he was the worse of them all. He wasn't great, but I didn't see much of a liability out there so you might as well keep him in and see if you can get anything out of him.

They announced their riding Darling next game. Not really much of a shock.

Q said it was a loud crowd, too, in the post-game press conference.
