Ehhh, out of that trio I feel best with O'Donnell in the lineup.

Scott is brutal and Lepisto handles the puck like a hand grenade so far this year.

yeah i feel that.. but Lepisto hasnt had much of a chance. sure those last couple of games he looked bad but who is gonna look great after sitting in the press box for weeks.

I hate this pairing ,but i agree with HW that OD is better than Lepisto ,but I'd also like to see Lepisto get more of a chance before I decide

SOD being better than Lepisto isn't saying much.

Tim Gleason would be a massive upgrade over both.

IDK why the John Scott hate is going on. The guy has played some solid hockey. Yeah he doesn't score, or he's not fast, he uses his reach and size to his advantage while back there.

Chicago has a 12-4-1 record since their embarrassing 9-2 loss to Edmonton. "We've definitely played better hockey since that game," Patrick Sharp said. "It's something we'll remember. You never want to be beat that bad. Maybe it was a wake-up call." Aside for Corey Crawford's early season struggles, things have gone great for Chicago in nearly every respect. They're currently leading the NHL with 52 points in 38 games and have a three point lead over Detroit in the ultra competitive Central Division. Barring a rash of injuries, Chicago should be able to maintain their current level of play in the second half. (Source: Chicago Tribune)

He's been fine.

I remember some were looking for Sopel to maybe be the 6/7 D man this year but I think people really forgot how bad he was during the 2010 season. He picked it up for the playoffs but for a while, he was just brutal to watch skate.

The point is, these guys are 6/7 D men for a reason. Scott has certainly improved this year. He's much more aware and doesn't put himself in a position to get burned nearly as much as he used to and he's even making good plays now.

Hawks are at home so Q can get his matchups. Smart coaching along with staying out of the box and good goaltending can cover up for a undesirable 3rd pairing.

Stalberg oif. All that speed and Sutton beat him to the open ice in front. Might have been Sharp's guy, though.

Oil have something like 3 or 4 injuries tonight, too. Quite a bit of suck to spread around.
