    I agree but if STL is ever going to show some balls this is the perfect opportunity, that roster is built to do it. Only issue is they have a subpar coach.

    Like Illini said - the advanced metrics all say this chicago team is not as good, mediocre 5on5.

    Im also a pessimist.

    #Blackhawks lines:
    Ladd-Toews-Hossa
    Panarin-Anisimov-Kane
    Mashinter-Teravainen-Fleischmann
    Desjardins-Kruger-Shaw

    should be Weise over Mash


    #stlblues lines
    Schwartz-Lehtera-Tarasenko
    Fabbri-Stastny-Brouwer
    Berglund-Steen-Backes
    Upshall-Brodziak-Reaves

    difference is STL is much stronger on 3rd line...and D depth

    Why in the world in Mashinter playing over Panik or Weise?

    I'd say the difference is the Hawks are much stronger on the 1st, 2nd, and 4th lines.

    Sounds like front runners for Frozen Four MOP Drake Caggiula are (in no order): CHI, EDM, PHI, VAN and OTT. I think BUF is in the mix, too.

    Overall its good actual hockey writing with good content. Depending on the author it can be really funny (Slack) or really preachy (McClure).

    One was on a guest on the pod I was listening to. Was wondering how much stock I should put into his opinion.

    its frustrating. Same shit in playoffs every year. Eventually it will burn us.

    With the Blues not caring about possession hockey and just hitting, would love to have Weise in there over Mashinter.

    felt like that was a plus game from TVR

    faceoffs were crucial

    Anisimov looked slow in the 3rd

    Q did well picking his spots to double shift Kane

    still need more from the PP. Too reliant on the Seabs-Keith point shots.

    oh and Teuvo sucked ass.

    survive & advance

    The Hawks just don't win game 3's. I think they are like 4-14 in game 3's coming into this series

    I really hope Roszival doesn't fuck us tonight. I don't have a great feeling. The late start only heightens the anxiety. ugh

    You have the third best top 3 D in the league (unfortunately behind St. Louis, and Nashville). Shouldn't be hard to tweak the bottom 3 guys.

    It shouldn't be but they sure struggled this year. Daley, runblad, TVR, roszival, Gustafson, Svedberg....just couldn't get it fixed

    Q makes it hard when he pushes out ppl like Daley. Could use an offensive Dman to save TVR ice time on PP.

    Also Dallas fucked Bowman out of Oduya and Johns.

    Trading for Daley and not keeping Oduya ended up being a really bad mistake

    Meh. He had to make moves.

    I love Duncan. And Shaw. Will miss seeing them in the playoffs.

    Enjoy the rest boys. Keep Kane on house arrest.

    And hopefully Pokka is ready to make noise finally.

    Let's go Cubs
