[twabby]

Chicago is red-hot with a 7 game winning streak due mainly to Corey Crawford being lights out. I'm sure hockeykicker will post lineup tweets when they are available.

Crawford confirmed starter for 'Hawks.

Just win.

 

[Hivemind]

Beat a good team.

 

[twabby]

Chorney is in for Schmidt.

That's a...downgrade to say the least.

Honestly I thought you were just a forums bot that aggregates tweets and posts them here

Back on topic, this Blackhawks team is very vulnerable. They are incredibly top-heavy both at forward and defense and this is an opportunity for the Capitals depth and defensive structure to shine through. If Crawford steals the game, so be it, but the Capitals really should be able to take it to this team.

Feels like a loss...

 

[hockeykicker]

apparently connolly is out too. is winnik the scratch?

 

[twabby]

Copied from a Chicago beat writer:

Schmaltz-Toews-Kane
Panarin-Kruger-Hossa
Desjardins-Rasmussen-Panik
Hartman-Hinostroza-Tootoo

Aside from the top-line that is not a scary group at all. Kruger's a fine defensive center but the second line is weak with him centering it.

The Capitals really should win this game, they clearly have the talent edge.

I'm confused - did you mean Connolly is in? They can't both be scratched.

 

[hockeykicker]

sorry meant to say that trotz is not giving any hints on who the forward that is out tonight is and when asked if it was connolly, trotz gave one of those i cant say answers

Unless they're rolling 7 defensemen.

 

[TLEH]

Keith - Campbell
Kempny - Seabrook
Forsling - Hjalmarsson


Here are Hawks defensive pairings. Anisimov is out with a UBI. Should be a struggle without him tonight, especially with offensive black hole Kruger centering them.

 

[ovikovy817]

Please guys (fans), don't panic if we lose this one (remember the Pens 2015-16). But I'm pretty sure if Chicago get the W, tomorrow morning, I'll read comments like "fire trotz" "we won't win the cup with trotz", ...

 

[CapsJunkie]

caps will win 5-1

[hockeykicker]

They still don't know who is out. Everyone is running through random lines rotating in and out

 

[Corby78]

Caps haven't had too many bad games in a row over the last couple years. I think they put together a solid game tonight.

 

[hockeykicker]

Apparently Sanford is the scratch after trotz said he was in earlier

 

[hockeykicker]

And now Connolly has been named the scratch.....

 

[Dream Big]

So just keep Kane from touching the puck and the Capitals need to score and that's the game.

 

[Dream Big]

Chicago Anthem singer has some solid pipes.

 

[Corby78]

Chicago Anthem singer has some solid pipes.

Yeah he has been one of the best for a while.

 

[SimplySensational]

Oh look, the Blackhawks interfering on a player who didn't touch the puck. What a surprise.

Its getting kind of obnoxious...
