Go !!!

 

[RDTBay4]

"Good chance Paquette gets in tonight" per Joe Smith on the radio. "If not tonight, then Thursday."

 

[The Macho King]

Humungous big game.

 

[LightningStrikes]

That Hawks lineup looks great, think they'll win another Cup?

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Lets go boys.

Come out strong and show some effort, intensity, pride, and hustle.

 

[The Macho King]

Nah. Fourth line is pretty crap and second and third pairs are not the players they once were.

They have as good a chance as anybody, but I would put them behind a few other teams.

 

[RDTBay4]

Stamkos doing line rushes with non scratch players FYI.

 

[MattM92]

"Tonight is our season. Two points or we're done."

Copy and paste that for every game left this year.

 

[JoVel]

The Hawks will be hungry after that blowout against the Panthers.

Hmmmmmm...

Freddy Andersen is hurt, opening a window of opportunity for us. (I'm also a Leafs fan so it stings, but from a Bolts perspective it is a chance).

Yet another huge game for Tampa.

Except when we lose this we will only need to use the last two words.

Nice Gongshow impression!

 

[LTIR Trickery]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

 

[DFC]

So the season hangs on a rematch of the 2015 SCF and your top two centers are still out.

No pressure there. None at all.

 

[Brie]

This is going to be a tough test with the Blackhawks last game in mind they will come out tough and our team must as well.

Last time we played them we were down going into the 3rd before TJ did something great but he's not here to do that again.

Neither of them were a factor in that Final so it is indeed a rematch.

He's playing, he's just on steroids and wearing a Brayden Point jersey

 

[These Are The Days]

Just win baby!

 

[EbonyRaptor]

Q is sending Hartman a message that it's not OK to yap at the refs and have 2 mins tacked on to an already bad hooking penalty - like he did against Florida Saturday night - so he'll be in the press box and here is the starting lineup from practice today:

Schmaltz-Toews-Panik
Panarin-Kero-Kane
Jurco-Kruger-Hossa
Hayden-Desjardins-Tootoo

Tampa Bay owns a five-game home win streak over Chicago and, overall, hasn't lost in regulation to the Blackhawks since December 13, 2009, going 8-0-2 since

We're doomed for sure.

Saw it on the Morning Skate show today, but apparently he's not playing. No change in status as far as I've read.
