Interesting question... I hope Bolland is coming back at 100%, not just because they feel they need his presence based off of last year's amazing playoff run for him.

Hope he does. Bolland needs a strong return.
Defensive matchups in the playoffs is where he makes his mark. I don't know if he can get under D. Sedin's skin again, but they don't call him the rat for nothing :buttrock:

Kruger hasn't been in. So would it be Smith or Johnson who Bollie would replace, I'm thinking...but I could be wrong.
Smith's boardwork has been so important since he's returned and the team is soooo lacking in this area.

I think with him having started to skate the Hawks were targeting the POs a return date.

Smith has been VERY impressive in his limited exposure. He has been a breath of fresh air in that regards.

I'm sure most of you saw or read about someone at a canucks game throwing a salmon on the ice...here's a write-up about it:

He isn't on the team, so there is little need to live in the past.
Of course, there will be a million people talking about how letting Buff go was a huge mistake, if they lose.
That would be just one of the NUMEROUS mistakes management and GM have made in the past 18 months.

I think you're bang on in one respect and off in another. You're completely right about living in the past. And yes, there will be a shitload of nonsense about Byfuglien if they lose the series...especially from those who don't understand the nature of business side of the NHL. I may have to take some time off and unplug myself if that happens.
I don't think I'd consider Byfuglien a huge mistake. He was something like a 20/20 guy making over 3 mil when we flipped him. He was definitely fat that needed to be trimmed with the 3 guys getting their raises and the cap constraints. Now he's a defender who roams instead of playing defense, but has chipped in pretty well offensively for the Thrash. He didn't fit in as a d-man here and there wasn't enough room to fit him as a forward. He was for sure to go, despite his importance in last year's PO run.

I completely agree with you. Obviously, cap issues forced his move, but if you look at his regular seasons, he was nothing for the Hawks. He gets under Luongo's skin for whatever reason but he just couldn't be kept.
Do I wish we had him on the team right now? Of course! But I also wish we had Tim Thomas, either of the Sedin twins and Perry on our team. *snicker*

I think the Hawks need to take this playoff birth as a gift from the hockey gods and show them they belong there by sweeping the Canucks! I can dream, can't I? lol

This is going to be embarrasing
Kind of wish the Hawks missed the playoffs. They are going to get blown out in this series. The Canucks are simply too good.

Leddy has made great strides. But, the kid scares me in the playoffs.
