The 72-15-88 line has really good chemistry. Splitting it up might mean that none of the lines are able to do anything. Let's at least stick with the one scoring line we have.
Kane shouldn't be punished because he has had to carry a line by himself his entire career and now that Toews is being expected to do the same for once, he can't deliver.
But I fear that it will probably happen soon. Q will want to take away from Kane to help out Toews.
Put Teuvo up there or something. And keep him there a bit so he can gain confidence. But leave Panarin where he is.
Always amusing how everytime Toews plays like crap its some phantom injury
Seabs/Hossa/etc don't get such a luxury ,, But every year and every bad game or stretch #19 has excuses fly
Here is reality ,, He is not playing well and having no linemates who can help cover for that is hurting

My memory was Panarin did not have chemistry with Toews and eventually Q put him back with Kane/Anisimov
And TT has struggled with Toews/Hossa ,, I don't see why people believe putting him back up there will magically fix problem.
I don't understand why Q hasn't given Tikhonov a better look. When he's in, he seems to e pretty solid..
Sure, the sooner the better, but it's not happening this year. I guess it's super easy for everyone else to swallow that $4 mil hit as we lose games. It's not easy for me. I think you have to at least give him one more shot to work.
I wouldn't be opposed to Bickell coming back up at some point, but he has to earn it down there.
I don't understand why Q hasn't given Tikhonov a better look. When he's in, he seems to e pretty solid. Is he only on the team as a translator? Take Kane out of the line and put in Tik. Make it an all Russian line. There has to be some advantage to trying that. Or move Panarin onto Toews line and see how Anisimov and Kane do with someone new.
There's no reason to think he'll be more motivated than he was during his previous zillion chances. His ahl numbers are meaningless. He sucks. I hope to never again see him in a Hawks uniform.
Thing is--last year Kane with Milquetoast linemates was in Art Ross contention until he broke his collar bone.
At Toews pricepoint, it shouldn't be a stretch to expect him to do the same. Maybe Q needs to tell him to focus a bit more on O...it's been too long since Toews made a play like completely undressing all 5 of the Colorado skaters before beating Theodore cleanly.
Since they're equal on the 'pricepoint' standpoint, it shouldn't be a stretch for Kane to be expected to win the Selke, no?
It's been.. never since Kane has done anything defense related. They are two completely different types of players, they know their respected roles and both do them damn well.
But hey, more money should equal more goals, I get it.
