Are people truly afraid of Nashville? Like really deep down do people actually think they can beat the Hawks in 7? I just don't see it.
They are secretly a 2 line team and those 2 lines aren't even that impressive. They rely on a rookie for their scoring. The kid is Teravainen's age. Their second scorer is charmin soft Ribeiro. I just think their offense is going to dry up almost completely when they actually play games that matter. Sure their defense and goaltending is great, but NEWSFLASH they give up more G/A then the Blackhawks even though the Hawks D corp has been getting killed on this board.
They are the weakest team down the middle that will be in the playoffs.
Not to mention that it is shaping up for them to play Minny/SJS/LA first round. I think I take Minny and LA easily against them and SJS who knows.
I just don't see it.
I would rather the Hawks play Nashville than St. Louis in the first round. Just a gut feeling. But not much the Hawks can do about it at this point.
And the Hawks are 4 points back of St. Louis with both of them having 25 games left. They have no chance of catching them
But to what end? Oooh Hawks can catch the Blues and that means... they still play the Blues in the first round.
The thing that Q does that makes him a genius is playing that Kruger/Smith/X line against other team's best players. No other team's (to my knowledge) are doing that. It frees up 3(!) scoring lines for the Hawks. The advantage is huge at home with last change... mitigated somewhat on the road.
Same thing on defense. He plays Hjalmarsson/Oduya against the best comp and frees up Keith and Seabrook completely to slay bums. Seabrook had 15 points in 16 games last playoffs.
All the concern about Sharp... he was awful in the last year's playoffs and they damn near won. Versteeg was terrible and they damn near won. If one or both don't suck there is ALOT to like about the Hawks.
you left out the part where we were icing a reanimated corpse in handzus.
Rinne and Weber are better than anyone on the Blues. I think a Preds vs Kings matchup would be ideal for us. Assuming we beat the Blues of course, having to play only one of Nashville or LA would be great. Both would be pretty tough.
Everybody's just Russian to judge him. They always complain about how he's Stalin on defense. I find that crazy, he's always Putin the Capitals on his back.

I watched many Caps games last season and his -35 was arguably the laziest, worst defensive season in NHL history by a player of his offensive caliber and hardware.Don't get anyone who dislikes Ovechkin. He's just awesome.
