Kadri makes Andrew Shaw look like a Rhodes Scholar.

your thread titles suck..

I only put in basic premise

Mods can feel free to improve them or if you have suggestion for title please feel free to put it out there

Compher ties game with 2:39 left

I would love some more OT

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

What a save by Grubauer with a little over minute left in regulation

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Cole just cross checked Neal into boards

Dumb penalty by Cole

Flames going on PP in OT

-- Flames get just 1 shot on poor PP --

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

McKinnon wins it in OT

Boo

Hopefully you can finally admit Mack is a great player

Eberle is on fire.

Eberle is on fire

3rd goal of playoffs for him ties game 1-1

I wonder what kind of contract he might be playing himself into.

Hope the Hawks stay away. Can't really think of any reason why they'd try and sign him anyway.

We could use a scoring RW to slot on Saad line

4 yrs at 5M wouldn't be bad deal for a guy like Eberle and he does show up in big moments

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

That was bad goal to give up by Murray

As was that one

2-1 Isles

 

[AmericanDream]

Eberle has played well, but let someone else overpay for him.

If you want offense, go after Panarin, what we need is 200 ft players and that just isn't him.

A RW for Saad to play with? Why not let Saad play RW and just get a better C than AA for him to play with on the 3rd line and throw Kahun on the LW.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Panarin is going to Florida. I don't doubt it at this point so Hawks going after a C and RW for 3rd line would be good offseason strategy

Why put Kahun on 3rd line when he looked good with Strome/Debrincat?

then why not just get Brock Nelson if he walks?

I think it's probably one or the other for the 3rd line, so I say find a really good 3rd line C. Having Toews, Strome, and a good 3C would be awesome depth at the position.

So you can roll 3 lines that can score.

Caggiula-Toews-Kane
Cat-Strome-Perlini
Kahun-Nelson-Saad

That's a well balanced lineup with 3 lines that can all score. Or even swap Perlini and Kahun. Either way, I'd build a lineup something along those lines for the balance.

Not a big fan of him to be honest

Before this year his game was very meh and he had his struggles. I would worry that this year is mirage

Cant depend on Perlini in top 9 role

 

[RayP]

Tampa called up a defenseman, I have to think that means Hedman isn't playing tonight since he didn't skate this morning. What is wrong with him? I haven't seen any mention of that.

Also, did Point even play in games 1 or 2? Absolutely invisible.

I really don't like Perlini at all but I get the vibe that he's going to be gifted a spot on the roster so that's why I have him in the lineup. I'd love to replace him with another FA for the 3rd line.
