TGDT 12/8 - Panthers (9-16-5) @ Blackhawks (20-6-5) 7:00PM WGN

[Chief Walking Stick]

I don't think the ACL rumor is true... TCD is an idiot.</p>


 </p>


Either way... I'd rent Brodeur... he'd be a lot cheaper.</p>

 

[MassHavoc]

Any updates on Crow?</p>

 

[winos5]

Groin</p>

 

[MassHavoc]

Groins are the worst because every-time you start to feel better it can give out again at any moment. From Crow and Khabi to Raanta and Simpson in about a month.... hooo boy. hah.</p>

I am not expecting a drop off in W's, Crawford had been shaky of late. I hope it is nothing serious though as he was looking to be on Team Canada.</p>

 

[roshinaya]

This is Raanta's big chance to make a name for himself. Hope he can take that challenge. Hope Crawford isn't out for too long. It would be optimal if the two goalies could push each other, like Crawford and Emery did last year.

In good news, Keith and Seabs +/- have soared to +12 and +14 respectively; leading the D-men.  Hammer and Oduya's are +9 and +7 respetively, with Leddy as +6.</p>


 </p>


Brookbank is a +2 (granted, his time at forward makes that somewhat unreliable when it comes to coupling his with Leddy), and Rosie is a -1.</p>


 </p>


Aside from Rosie who definitly needs to step up his backened play, and Brookbank who, when he plays D, may need to step up his backend play, I think the D should be in good position because our O has been high powered the majority of this year.  Keith and Seabs going from - and even, respectively, to very + echoes their trend of playing better in the backend.  Good timing if you think about it; Rannta, Simpson, or Herb Brooks-forbid even Carruth are gonna need all the help they can get.</p>

Roszival is the only Hawks player to have a negative +/-... that's incredible no matter how pointless the stat is overall.</p>


 </p>


Hawks averaging 3.50 GPG.</p>

Kaner & Zus were -'s going into last night. I guess with all his points, and the good team record, 88 can get away with a little floating. <span style="font-size:8px;">(kinda)</span></p>

Kane was +1 going into last nights game.</p>


 </p>


He was -9 a month ago and as of today +2.  That bother's him when he's -</p>


 </p>


It wasn't that he's floating verses a few times, due to double and triple shifting he stepped out on the ice right when the goal was scored.  When you are a puck possession guy like Kane, you don't float, you have the puck.</p>

 He may float past you with the puck.</p>

There are a LOT of cherry pickers in this league,  88 is not one of them.  Which is why he has 20 minutes of TOI per night with zero on the PK.  Double, triple shifting.  Q knows who his most dynamic offensive player is.  </p>

I thought Q knows nothing.
