Not really. Vokoun had solid numbers coming into the Conference Finals.

he wasn't hot in the same sense that Roloson was hot. Roloson needed to be solved, Vokoun just needed to be exposed.

That is just weird. Let's hope the result is the same (fully expect it to be)

It's ok if we win 4-0 in Game 7

Did I just read that Q is moving Kaner down to the second line again?

Sharp-Toews-Kane were just starting to gel. I get that he's trying to spread out the depth, but it's not like Boston's 3rd line has been such an offensive juggernaut where I'd be that scared about matching depth for depth and certainly at the center position.

Some of these coaches have made some...interesting tactical decisions in the playoffs.

Unfortunately, it seems that the hawks are saying pretty much all of the right things.

I don't like it.

Getting some seriously bad vibes, here.

Hopefully the Bs are ready, and more.

 

[bruinmann77]

A game 1 win will be welcomed.

Could just be trying stuff out in practice? Although from what I've read the Hawks change up their lines a lot, can anyone confirm that?

Either way I think Marchand is going to be trolling Kane all series long.

They do. Seems like a common beef to Hawk fans. I'd mentioned previously (what seems like ages ago) that it was game 5 where Q finally moved Kane up to the first line with Toews and Sharp. In their stints together, the trio showed some real flashes, but then it seemed Hossa started to struggle. Honestly, Kane and Toews both were performing under par until the line change.

Perhaps it's robbing Peter to pay Paul....but in the 3-4 Hawks games I saw this year, when those two are paired together, they absolutely fly on the ice.

We'll see.

This series is going to be an all-out battle. Chicago has a great coach, good D, and some dynamic players. We will have to step things up a notch to win this one. Pit seemed all too easy.
