Things that concerned me....

After Shaw went down our defensive lines seemed disrupted. The Kaner line in particular had defensive issues all night, Minnesota is trying to punish that line as an opportunity to score. Kaner is a willing defender but doesn't seem to have correct positioning on the second and tieing goal. He promptly makes up for himself 10 fold, and then some, with flair and swagger, but I'd prefer we not concede a bunch of goals from the second line.

If they are going to overpress though, Kaner can continue to make them pay, its something to watch. And can Crawford maintain his focus through an entire game, he reminds me of a flood valley goalie,

once the levy breaks there seems to be a recovery time where Crawford has to get right again and regain confidence.

Their 2nd goal happened when Bolig turned the puck over on the neutral zone while Keith and Seabs were going for a change. I don't know what you're talking about with Kane. The 4th line was out for both goals. Nordstrom/zeus both and one had Kruger whole 2 had Bolig out there.

I am clueless as to why he is out there for even the 3 or 4 minutes he plays every game. I see nothing in his game that makes the Hawks a better team.

Does Stoner serve any purpose other than to take opposing players out?

I thought I saw Kane trailing and choose the wrong guy to catch up to, then the play happened behind him. Its possible I just saw the K and a short name, the game is so fast.

Very interested to see what the lineup will be for this one.

Shaw could be injured ... Bollig had a real bad Game 1 ... Versteeg was scratched because he was "under the weather." Perhaps Regin and Morin finally get to skate in a playoff game?

Probably just a pipe dream.

 

[Bigfoot]

Here's to another win today guys. Looking forward to the game, hopefully Shaw is back in the lineup. If not wouldn't mind seeing Morin get a shot today.

 

[DMelt36]

Shaw out for Game 2. Versteeg "likely back in" per Q, which apparently means Versteeg is in by Q-speak.

No word on who's replacing Shaw in the lineup, though.

Wouldn't Versteeg replace Shaw?
