Game 7 IGT: Blues @ Blackhawks 4/23 at 7:30 p.m.

Win or go home game tonight. All the hawks gotta do is score more goals than the blues do. That's it really..

Who's the Special person that said the blues would win in 5 after the hawks went down 3-1? Bet you're feeling pretty damn stupid.

I was actually. It's fun watching you getting your panties in a twist though. Appreciate the entertainment!

Teuvo's fine, per Q. He'll play tonight.

Rest of the morning skate lines had Panik up on the top line and Shaw as the 4C.

He needs to step up tonight and he certainly can if he doesn't play afraid. That second tier of scoring has picked up the last two games (Hossa, Ladd, Anisimov) and TT needs to start contributing.

Did you really dislike him? It would appear his chicklets are close to going red.

He hasn't been scoring, but I saw him in for the face off and he got his ass beat, beat down hard with cross checks. He's a role player. Trust in Coach Q

Only you would dislike someone for no reason

So with the little clash between Hitchcock and Tarrasenko in Game 6, Tarrasenko was pissed about his ice time. Some shift time strategy from the coach some call "No-neck".

Hitchcock defended the ice time and said to instead look at the number of shifts Tarasenko plays in a game. He is the kind of guy who can't have extended shifts, Hitchcock said, so the strategy is to get him out there often in short bursts to maximize what he brings to the team.
In Game 6, Tarasenko had 27 shifts that averaged 37 seconds each. By comparison, Patrick Kane had 26 shifts that averaged 50 seconds each. If Tarasenko averaged Kane's shift length, he would've played more than 22 minutes.
"He's a big body that plays a lot, he gets leaned on, he leans on a lot of people. It's very wearing," Hitchcock said of Tarasenko. "The game he plays is a physical one."

Don't think so. I'm putting a 4-3 hawks win.

I wasn't saying the Blues would win, I was saying Tarasenko might tell Hitch to go fuk himself and just elongate his own shifts lol

Are they allowed to do that?

 

[Tater]

Are they allowed to do that?

Only if they really want to piss off the coach.

Would be hilarious if Hitchcock ended up being right and Tarasenko tired himself out playing extended shifts.

 

[Bergz22]

Not nice my friend, but funny.

Hopefully he does, I want a the blues to break down, screw up their lines and not listen to their coaches. I misunderstood you, go Hawks!

Hitch's job is probably on the line 2nite (Prince reference).

Coach Q is out coaching no neck. Plain and simple. Hawks will win.
