Game 4 IGT: Blues @ Blackhawks 4/19 at 8:30 p.m.

Really change things up for game 5.

Bickell, Toews, Kane
Panarin, Anisimov, Ladd
Panik, TT, Hossa
Fleischman, Krueger, Wiese

Bickell needs to have a monster game, not only with hitting, but convert to a bean diet leading up to game time stand in front of Elliot and screen/crop dust him while team mates put the biscuit in the basket.

Save us Bigfoot, you are our only hope

Bickel literally isn't good enough to be in the NHL. I'll take any other option.

Bickell, Toews, Kane
Panarin, Anisimov, Ladd
Panik, TT (via trade), Hossa
Fleischman, Krueger, Wiese

Win or lose, I have a feeling that all the guys in bold will not play for the Hawks in 2017.

Don't think TT will be traded and I could see any or all of the following with us next year, due to salary cap: Panik
Fleischman and/or Wiese.

Bickel on the first line? Uh, no. I'd rather take my chances with Jose the hot dog vendor outside the UC.

yeah cuz he completely sucked in the '13 and '14 playoffs. Might as well roll the dice and see how he does. We can't do any worse than we've done the first four games.

I'd think that if they were planning on using him, he would've been called up today before they flew to St. Louis.

I think we'll see Toews and Kane together tomorrow night.
Early thought:

Ladd-Toews-Kane
Panarin-Anisimov-Panik
Fleischman-Teuvo-Hossa
Desjardins-Kruger-Weise

I like the lines, just switch Hoss and Panik.

I think Hoss skating with Teuvo would be a mutually beneficial tactic. Each line has a real good duo that way: Toews/Kane, Panarin/Anisimov, Teuvo/Hossa

 

[The Bringer]

It is complete bullshit that Shaw was suspended for calling the blues players a bunch of Cock smokers.

Did you ever meet LadyHawk does she still post over there ? :cringe:

I try not to remember that.

Just overhead one NHL scout say, "I haven't seen Bickell hit this much in 3 years." Playoff Bickell showing up in Rockford.

Nice love tap on Shaw from Brouwer.

Thought this was certainly a good read on Shaw.

 

[Diehardfan]

Not really sure any lineup can save them at this point. In the past, you just expected that they'd play better but that's not really the problem. With the exception of a few minutes here and there....the Hawks have been out playing the Blues consistently since the 1st period of game 1, yet they're still getting beat.

 

[ClydeLee]

That nhl scout I'd just going off perceptive notions of Bickell or bicks must of had over 8 hits.

Bickell averaged over 5 hits a game last year.. and i think it was over 6 at a point. He basically became worthless at doing anything else but hitting and standing around the net which he did get a couple screen caused goals from.

Why must I be Ladd? via da Tapatalk
