Let's get it tonight boys. Kings are playing tremendous hockey right now, and their PP is off the charts. Hopefully we keep it simple as well as stay out of the box, and get some lady luck our way, and grab a much needed W. Have a good one tonight guys enjoying the game.

If we lose, you guys want me to go stab da refs.... ya know just for the general shittiness we have been subjected to from them all playoff long, even across series we were not apart of?

Kruger should center the 3rd line, but if he did the 4th line would have Zeus and Bollig and would be too slow to even compete.

I like Sharp being dropped to the 3rd line.... maybe he can have some unexpected success down on that line.

 

[DMelt36]

Sharp-Handzus-Versteeg could be a nightmare.

None of those players is doing much of anything this postseason.

But I imagine those lines aren't going to hold for very long.

 

[nwfisch]

Bollig should be dropkicked into Lake Michigan.

Second line could be a force to be reckoned with... all 3 were at 19 or more goals (Saad 19, Shaw 20, Kane 29) in the regular season and those are two talented/physical complements to Kane... Shaw skating around wreaking havoc while Kane works his magic with Saad could be something... or it might night work at all. I think that could be a powerful line though.

Win or go home for the summer & Q puts Bollig back in..unbelievable.

If there's some optimism from this lineup it's that the top two lines could produce a ton.

With that second line, if Kane is forced to dump the puck in at the blue line (which has happened a lot as the Kings are not allowing him to carry it in) Shaw and Saad are pretty relentless on the forecheck and they can win possession of the puck back, giving the Hawks a chance for some sustained pressure.

Bollig = 3 or 4 minutes and runs into a couple guys....big fucking deal

Even at my age I could play 3 minutes and manage to get myself in the way of somebody.

Why in God's name does he play this guy? It's way, way past the point of making the signing look good....that ship
sailed awhile ago.

This game has the feel of a Patrick Kane takeover.
