John Scott replacing Seabs tonight... watch out Raffi.

That's why I think playing Bolland is a mistake. If the Hawks fall behind and shit starts to fly, I don't want to throw a guy in whois coming back from a 2 month absence thanks to a concussion
The refs will be watching Scott and will grab him and send him off before he can raise a fist just as they have done in some of Scotts other attempts. Of course he can try and put a legal hit on RT.
Would AV put Torres out there if Scott is on the ice?
Since we have the last line change, AV may have no choice.
If Raffi was a man about it, he'll take what he deserves.
I agree with your points, but trading Skille for Frolic? Skille was doing zippo. Stan probably wanted another center but could'nt get one at the deadline, so grabbed Frolic who supposedly had better offensive skill,despite not hardly scoring, showed more than Skille. I think you could flip a coin on who improved the 4th line wing position more. It was'nt Skille, and now that we've seen Frolic that's questionable.
What was Stan thinking? He was thinking, damn I need a good center cheap but none are out there. Then Tallon said, he I got this guy who could play center, he hasn't but I think he could, and remember I built a stanley cup team. Stan said... I don't know I'm not offering up much in return, and Tallon said that's ok, all I want it the kid that I've been pushing to try to get into a top line for years. He's not, but he could...I think Frolik has been one of the better Hawks during this playoff "run", which still isn't saying much. But still, he did not fill any needs, Stan said he was a center when he clearly is not. I'm not sure what he was thinking.
Three goals in 28 games (31 if you include playoffs), on the 2nd line... I think Skille probably could have accomplished that on the 4th line. Either way I'm not comparing him to Skille, just saying he did not fill any needs.
The only reason I think Frolik has been somewhat effective in the Playoffs is because he stepped up his physical play. Since he isn't contributing much on the scoresheet he has to do it in other areas which is fine with me and I like to see it.

Both teams got exactly what they deserved on that one. And for the record, I think Frolik is better, as a matter of fact, I think he's shown flashes of being really good and I'd love to see him actually start the season with the guys and see what happens instead of being thrown in. He's a young kid that had two good years before this year.
