Hawks walk away from this one 4-1.</p>


 </p>


Hawks in 7.</p>

 

[~rabid platypus~]

The Blues need to carry the game for a whole 60 mins. I can see us getting crushed this game. It's not a series until the home team loses!</p>

 

[PatrickSharpRules]

Going to be in attendance, really need a solid victory tonight. Also everyone will have to have their head up. </p>

Agreed, losing the last two with the lead that late is gut wrenching. I feel like you guys have had a horseshoe up your bum. The Hawks just have to keep the game out of reach. </p>

 

[LordKOTL]

Gotta play smarter and more disciplined in this one.</p>

 

[Pez68]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say...Hawks lose this one 4-3 in OT, after blowing a late third period lead.</p>

I will go into cardiac arrest if this goes to OT. They need to pull out these 1 goal games in regulation, that and make sure that they aren't 1 goal games. </p>

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

Dahlbeck or Rundblad tonight?

Brookbank</p>

 

[mikita's helmet]

<span style="font-size:24px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Hawks forwards have one goal in 8+ periods.</span></span></p>


 </p>


Need to have either</p>


 </p>


Sadd - Toews - Hossa</p>


Sharp - Shaw - Kane</p>


 </p>


or</p>


 </p>


Bickell/Saad - Toews - Kane</p>


Sharp - Shaw - Hossa</p>


 </p>


as our top two lines, and stop diluting our top 4 forwards. </p>


 </p>


<span style="font-size:24px;">WAKE UP, Q!</span></p>

Ouch. Brookbank for Seabrook? I'll take that!</p>


 </p>


Please please tell me Q will pair Brookbank with Keith! That will lead to either many goals, or many penalties from Keith.</p>

I think in all likleyhood it's not going to be a straight swap.  Most likley Runblad/Brookbank will only see 3rd pairing minutes with Rosival/Hammer/Oduya taking up the slack.</p>


 </p>


Still, it is a big drop-off.</p>


 </p>


BTW, will Backes play?  Everything I read today says no word either way.</p>

 

[~rabid platypus~]

LOL I'm dying!!</p>

No Official word yet. IF he does he has balls of steel, but better be 100% or hes just hurting the team.</p>

 

[LordKOTL]

Gotcha, thanks!</p>

 

[winos5]

If they follow concussion protocol Backes is done for at least 2 weeks IMO.   No way they can say he wasn't concussed on that hit.   He probably still has tweety birds circling his ugly mug.</p>


 </p>


Oh</p>


 </p>


And</p>


 </p>


Just Win.</p>

PS -   Hoss, Toews and Kane keep your head up tonight.</p>


 </p>


 </p>


I expect D pairings to be</p>


 </p>


Keith-Rosival</p>


Hammer-Oduya</p>


Leddy-Brookbank</p>


 </p>


 </p>


Or something like that.   </p>

 

[Ashor-redtribe]

Chicago Blackhawks 4- St louis Canucks 2.</p>


 </p>


I would like to add, I hate for anyone to get hurt....but Backes deserves that legal hit. NHL should really teach their refs to use their commen sense when making a call and not blow the whistle because 13 thousand fans are booing...delayed reactions on a call always makes you (ref ) look like you don't understand your job. Happens all the time.</p>

 

[LordKOTL]

^^^Yep wino,  that's what I'd expect from the pairing with Hammer/Oduya getting the lion's share of them time.  Depending on how Keith/Rosival look they might get more time as the gamer goes on if they're not a liability but I don't really see Leddy/Brookbank getting more than the usual 5/6 pairing would.</p>

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

Funny.... Blues are only 1/13 on the PP this series.</p>


 </p>


I guess instead of "funny" I should use "lucky".</p>
