If this turns out to be a long term type of injury would the Hawks try and get Vanek or Stastny?

Extremely doubtful.

I would think they'd just call up Morin, who should be in the NHL already.

 

[clydesdale line]

Damn just saw the hit.. of course it was Craig Adams who did it.

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Apaprently Q said he will "miss some time" but that it isn't long term

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Looked rather innocent of a hit honestly ,, Probably just See Hossa miss a couple weeks and come back when fully healthy

Morin has a chance to prove himself once again likely

Unless Nordstrom gets another look

Hopefully- Morin gets time/games w/ top 6... where he is a better fit -IMO.

Or do we see PMB/23/88... the "Water-bug" line... would be very entertaining/quick and could be really bad some shifts in the D zone. But I would like to see that line.

10/19/PMB???

81- out 5-7 games could be blessing to see if Mo/PMB could fit on top lines.

I had the opposite reaction ... sighed a breath of relief when Hossa appeared unfazed. But Hossa is so strong on his skates, he seldom gets knocked over - as a result he takes the full force of hits like that.

I reckon, move Saad to his spot in top 6 and bring up Morin or Pirri. Morin's scoring lately may get him the nod.

Pirri has a point streak going as well. They are both lighting it up in Rockford. Though, Morin is a winger so it is more likely we see him I suppose.

Unless Q plays Brookbank on the wing again

 

[Hawkaholic]

I doubt anyone gets called up, move Regin or Zues to wing and roll with that until he is healthy again.

Sharp Toews Kane
Versteeg Regin Saad
Bickell Shaw Zus
Bollig Kruger Smith

That 2nd line looks like crap. Kane will be on 2nd line and Saad on 1st line. Just guessing how Q likes his lines.

I agree, although I think Saad stays with Toews. They played very well together. (then again Saad played well whatever line he was on, even with Bickell) Q would want to spread out the scoring a bit. Doubt he will break up the Versteeg-Kane combo. Regin also played wing with the Isles too.

Sharp-Toews-Saad
Versteeg-Handzus-Kane
Bickell-Shaw-Regin

Hossa out 2-3 weeks. #Blackhawks

 

[hisgirlfriday]

Per Mark Lazerus, Hoss is out 2-3 weeks.

Can we bring up Morin please?

 

[Illinihockey]

Mark Lazerus‏@MarkLazerus·4m
Q said #Blackhawks have not decided if they'll call someone up while Hossa's out. Bouchard a possibility, though.

Nope. More Zeus.

 

[hisgirlfriday]

How would Bouchard coming up affect the cap?

They wouldn't be talking about bringing him up if they couldnt fit him in under the cap

 

[ColdSteel2]

I'd like to see what PMB can do here.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Per the team Twitter account...

@NHLBlackhawks: Coach Q: Marian Hossa will miss 2-3 weeks with an upper-body injury. #Blackhawks

Rockford did recall two forwards from Toledo today (Lefebvre and Mullane) so we'll see. Could be something, could be nothing. Obviously one is replacing Pirri though (and I use the term "replacing" very loosely).

True. I just remember some talk about PMB costing way less if he stayed buried in RFD and couldn't remember what the deal was with the cap hit.

Ya, you're probably right.

I don't think a line of Kane Versteeg whoever looks like crap though.

No it doesn't. But the Steeg/Regin/Saad one did
