[Illinihockey]

Q said "he might be out a bit". Guessing broken bone, 4-6 weeks in Q speak

[Taze em]

Teravainen time plz.

 

[bwana63]

TT all the way. If it was a 4th liner or grinder, McNeill should get the call. But it's not. Time to show us what you got, kid.

 

[Bring Back GLR]

Today's game just gets worse. **** these outdoor games nothing but bad luck for us.

 

[Crow]

Did I read that they want TT to play center only a few months ago?

 

[jeffl97]

Says its a hand injury

 

[Crow]

Says its a hand injury

He got hit on the hand, so this makes a lot of sense.

 

[Hawkaholic]

Don't really need to call anyone up, as Nordstrom fills in and Sharp moves up. Maybe call up Regin just for an extra forward.

Hawks have a top 6 forward who can fill Steeger spot already (Sharp)

 

[hisgirlfriday]

Sharp-Richards-Kane needs to happen no matter who gets called up, if anyone.

 

[CallMeShaft]

McNeill, Danault, and Teuvo all can play center. Please move Shaw to wing Q, let him play his natural position and give that center spot to someone who can actually play that role.

 

[Crazy_Ike]

I would like to see TT even if they don't really NEED to bring him up for any real reason. Give him another sniff. Might be very motivating. It'll show him better what to work on.

I would love to see this lineup without Steeger

sharp-toews-shaw
bickell-richards-kane
saad-TT-hossa
carcillo-krueger-smith

sharp-toews-shaw

Shaw should never be in top 6 let alone on top line

And the way he is playing he shouldn't be rewarded and neither should Bickell

All your lineup does is ensure the Hawks get no production from Kane/Sharp/Richards/Toews

 

[CallMeShaft]

I'd enjoy seeing this

Saad Toews Hossa
Sharp Richards Kane
Bickell Teravainen Shaw
Carcillo Kruger Smith

Though McNeill would also do great in that 3C spot.

 

[Taze em]

McNeill isn't a center

Rewarding guys who are underperforming is not a good idea.

 

[CallMeShaft]

McNeill isn't a center

He was when he was drafted. Rockford has been playing him at wing due to an abundance of centers.

He played wing his last year in Junior at the request of the Blackhawks and hasn't played and substantive time at Center in the AHL. He is a wing.

 

[JaegerDice]

I don't think TT is coming up.

I think it's more likely we'll see:

10-19-81
20-91-88
29-65-13
42-16-28

They're not going to call up TT to serve as the extra body and not play. They want him playing as much as possible.

Obviously. If he was called up Nordstrom or Carcillo would sit. But I don't think Teravainen will be called up either

 

[No Fun Shogun]

If anyone's coming up, I'm expecting Danault or McNeill.

If the team surprised me by shifting Shaw to wing and brought Teravainen in, I wouldn't complain, though.

 

[Pepe Silvia]

If there is a call up, I'm thinking Danault

 

[CerebralGenesis]

ugh versteeg pls

 

[G0AT]

It won't happen, but I would love to see a 3rd line of TT, Bickell and Car Bomb.
