Pre-Game Talk: Division Champs at St. Louis

@ChrisKuc: Hearing Patrick Sharp will not play for #Blackhawks today vs. Blues.

Please move Hossa to the second line then.

Actually, I think the Blues fans would prefer a loss to avoid a matchup with the Kings in first round.

Fans are irrelevant. The team needs to make the PO's before they can even think about the team they'll face.

Let's hope it's just precautionary. With the playoffs coming up, they need to keep these guys healthy.

Especially playing a goon team like the Blues.

Sharp's apparently going to miss Monday's game as well.

Could still just be precautionary. Might've aggravated something.

I'm not expecting much in this one. The Blues are desperate for points and if they start getting too physical I almost expect Q to limit ice time for Kane and Toews. I'm assuming that's why Sharp is out of the lineup. His shoulder is probably acting up a bit from the last game and Q doesn't want a jackass like Polak to jump him if he's nearby when Jackman decides to board himself again.
